Nice atmosphere and a good place to chill. But not a great place for dinner. The choice on the food menu is limited. I had Malaysian food, but they also have western food on the menu. The food was ok, not bad but not great. For Penang it is probably too expensive.

I made it a point to eat here today (June 3, Monday) since I saw that this cafe is listed as the 4th most popular restaurant in George Town on TripAdvisor. So I brought my mom for lunch there. We ordered the nasi goreng (RM22), laksa lemak (a recommended dish as reviewed in the newspaper) (RM18) and fresh watermelon juice... More

Although a little expensive by Penang standards, the staff were most helpful and allowed us to mix the set menu with a la carte which was to our advantage. Pleasant surroundings and good food - well worth considering.

Nice stylish place- a bit more expensive than the usual restaurants in Penang but definitely worth it. They only have a few meals (around 15) n the menu, but the Nasi Goreng I tried was definitely the best rice meal I ate during our three weeks in Malaysia.

Mews Cafe is a nice little spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Small but interesting menu of western and local items, very cold beer and excellent coffee. A nice break from the busy and hot business of expploring Penang. Its not cheap compared to the hawker stalls but its not too expensive. treat yourself, cool down, and carry on exploring... More

A special find! Small, quiet cafe with great staff. Very relaxing setting for any meal or a tea/coffee break. Definitely up to date considered the surroundings and is perfect if your exploring the area by foot and need to stop for a bit. I think they actually have a restroom for customer use? (Which is hard to find in Penang...especially... More
