Swee FoongJanuary 29, 2014Great service from the attendant! :) get the big Churros (6pcs)! U will never get satisfied with the small one (4pcs) choose Nutella n Cinnamon Sugar for Churros! Go earlier for Cronut! :D
- Biwen WeeOctober 7, 2014Finally, a decent affogato with haagen dazs ice-cream~! Great caramel latte which fit my taste well <3 the hidden cafe in #lolongkia, worth for revisit =)
fuzz mintDecember 10, 2015A must try: Churros! Flavours: Salted caramel n cinnamon are simply the bomb! Friendly service. Cozy place. Nice songs played. The cronut was a bit too sweet.
A HazetAugust 5, 2023This coffeeshop located in chinese heritage, the building formerly an old style pharmacist. They serve good coffee as well as they roast the beans themself. Penang coffee lover must visit#CoffeePenang
Paul Song Por WenDecember 23, 2014The Churros with Nutella Dip is really good! Also, the Cronuts with Choc Dip is gorgeous too. Must try this! However, the Americano is disappointing. Overall good service and nice environment 👍
Alice VooJune 14, 2016Great latte, churros! I broke their sauce glass (in picture) earlier when I leave :( and they're so nice to not let me pay for it! Do visit them! The cafe is kind of hidden.
Ryna Syaz OwensJanuary 16, 2015Nice churros and cronut! Highly recommended. Cozy place to hangout though its small. Quite pricey 6pcs big churros rm9 fruit punch rm15 mocha rm15 cronut rm9 but overall okla nice! Puas hati :D
YaoYaoAugust 21, 2014Nice place to hangout with a cuppa nice choc drink. Yummy churro and cronut. Friendly service. Love this place! Kudos to The Alley, am definitely gonna be back!
Jie Qi NgDecember 27, 2015Best cafe I have been to so far. Everyone will recommend the same thing: flat white which has a real fruity hint and churros dipped in chocolate/salted caramel. Heavenly combo.
Basil GlooDecember 13, 2015Definitely worth place to visit and stay for several hours. They have super tasty coffee drinks and deserts. Local hipsters are here :)
Sabrina TangMarch 9, 2014have been here for 3 time and still loving this cafe very much.. Churros and cronut is highly recommended and salted caramel topping goes well for both!! A must try whenever u come to The Alley..
Jun HengJuly 6, 20151 word : churros. Choice of dippings? Go crazy with it. I'm a nutella lover so nutella all the way! Great place to chill too.
_spinmesillyFebruary 15, 2014Lovely place. Latte was good. Mixed up our orders tho; ordered churros w/ Nutella, & a salted caramel cronut, but was given churros w/ salted caramel, & a choc cronut. Wld've been perfect otherwise ;)
Krzysztof RodakMarch 3, 2016We wanted to get some beans for aeropress, unfortunately they don't sell any - but we were given free sample of excellent Etiopia! and we didn't order anything on that day!
Joey K.May 2, 2014Churros and cronut is very special. Recommended dips are salted caramel and Nutella. Love the white chocolate cheesecake too.
Nooraini NadzirDecember 2, 2017This is the only cafe serving Churros when I was craving for it in Penang. The ambience is really nice and peaceful, loved it!
- Sharon LohDecember 25, 2016Great little place!!!!! ❤️ Love their coffee, and love how comfy their place is. And oh, wifi is quite reliable.
SeReNeDecember 3, 2015Churros with salted caramel is freaking delicious!!!!! But i dont like the cronut even though it is strongly recommended by lots of ppl.
I'm a coffee lover I still The Alley still get the best bean and barista to brew my cup of coffee! Thumbs up!
JosephineMarch 22, 2016Love the ambience, food and coffee. Salted caramel cronut + nutella Churros best combo 😊
Lynn TanDecember 17, 2013Signature lemon cheese cake is superb,smooth and nice,delizioso!The Mandela cheese also not bad but I more prefer the lemon cheese.hehe.nice music,nice environment.😃😃- Anas IdrusJuly 27, 2016The churros, cronuts and lemon cheesecake are awesome. Super friendly staffs. Nice environment!
Emmanuel CheongDecember 12, 2015Churros and affogato is good. Good chilling ambience. Space are limited. A hidden gem, don't let the main sign board fool you
Love love love everything here! From the interior to their coffees, their awesome churros and not forgetting the friendly staffs! Always so welcoming :)
Yean ChenDecember 8, 2013Loving the cronut with caramel! Coming back for moreeee😍 but the place is bit packed with lots and lots and lots of customers 😯
Jovan TanJune 8, 2015Fantastic ambience. Open till midnight so can chill here for a simple cup of coffee instead of night clubs.
Shu MinMay 14, 2015A not-too-sweet hot chocolate, a not-too-strong aroma of mocha, but a good taste of churros!- SueLyn CheangFebruary 16, 2017Churro were amazing! Go with salted caramel and cinnamon sugar! 💜 Don't bother with chocolate or Nutella. They're not as great as it sounds.
- HC FooNovember 28, 2014Love the churros and cappuccino served with kacang tumbuk. The flat white is great too. Highly recommended cafe in Penang.
- Krzysztof RodakMarch 3, 2016Looking for the best place for coffee in Penang? Look no further, just grab the cold brew - amazing!
Win Zee TFebruary 4, 2015Hidden underneath the joss stick shop facade. Small space. Food takes a while to come. Churros is crunchy outside soft inside, melts in yr mouth!
Billahani MunirDecember 6, 2013Very friendly service and nice environment to chill with friends. Definetly will come again to try their cronuts, it looks interesting ;)
The best affogato I ever had! Forget starbucks... u can get awesome coffee here too! Tried the caramel latte and it is really good.
Lee SydneyDecember 10, 2015Really yummy and addictive churros! Definitely ordering the big one next time 😋😋😋
The Alley's latte and piccolo are the best! Try the cronut too. Awesome is the only word to describe this cafe😍
Linda WongOctober 11, 2014You'll never go wrong with the churros and cronuts here! Especially churros with salted caramel dip #YESplease
Elisa ThangMarch 9, 2015Coffee Beans are slightly over-roasted today I guess. Churro is crunchy but a lil bit too oily for me but bf likes it. Was here for choco cup but they're NA anymore :( But service is super good (:
Penang FoodieMay 24, 2016Best Churros In Penang. Read our review: http://penangfoodie.com/alley-cafe-stewart-lane-penang-review/
Chin Don SangAugust 12, 2016Churros with Nutella and chocolate dippings. Just perfect. Not to mention that it's pretty cozy too!
One of the best coffee places on the island with fabulous cakes and cookies. Them cookies!!
Daphne GoonOctober 30, 2016Churros was disappointing. Size was pretty tiny from what was displayed in the picture😅tasted better ones. Coffee was ok. To make up for it, the ambience of the cafe is good👍🏻
Tabitha JohnsonFebruary 2, 2017The Alley Punch is a nice drink to cool off with. Coffee is pretty good too.
💓 LiyU 💓April 12, 2016Love their churros lots! Pinky guava is another must try, really quench your thirst well during this hot weather!
Jozzy TengJanuary 22, 2016The ice mocha is nice. Tried the churros wif nuttela n cinnamon sugar. Think it is over rated . A place to hang out with frens but not a place to go n enjoy good food
Ivan PigFebruary 23, 2015A very heritage cafe that serve decent cup of coffee :D their coffee are vry strong good for coffee lovers!
PengFebruary 8, 2014Highly recommend the nutella-covered cronut and churros with salted caramel. The hot chocolate drink was heavenly!
