The Postcard Shop — Restaurant in George Town

This little café may be small, but it has a big heart. Before continuing my journey, I stopped here for a cup of their Americano, brewed from beans roasted in-house. Paired with a bagel generously layered with cream cheese—also baked fresh right here—the combination was simple yet deeply satisfying. The bagel had just the right chew, soft enough to enjoy bite after bite, but with enough structure to hold its own.

Adding to the charm are two affectionate Siamese cats who love weaving around your ankles, gently nudging for a pat or two. Their presence gives the place an almost homely, soothing feel.

Sipping coffee here during a slow afternoon feels like therapy—melting away fatigue and lifting the spirit.

And then there’s Sharon, the soul of the café. She wears every hat at once—barista, baker, server, and cashier. Warm, attentive, and welcoming, she makes you feel less like a customer and more like a guest...

The cafe is run by a boss who is quite a personality. At first, I am like others who first come to the place. The environment is so pretty and unique that I have to take photo. This is my personal habit. Until I feel the boss. Hahaha And after that, only I saw the notice in pink color board. I am quite agree with it though. People need to make living. Anyway, I really want to get myself an americano even before I saw the sign board. Just the environment grabbed my eyes and phone camera first.

I ordered an iced americano. The price is Rm7, which is considered quite cheap in Penang. It is good.

This is a place where really good for someone who wish to calm down or slow down to get some inner peace.

Really recommend to come have a seat. And talk to yourself for awhile before you continue to fight...

I really don’t like giving bad reviews to small businesses, however i did not like my experience here. As soon as you step inside you are welcomed by signs saying that if you dont buy anything, dont make any photos, which i fully understand. I would never take “free” photos of anyones artwork or shop. However we came in to see if we could find any postcards to send home, owner did not say hi/hello/welcome back which was fine, however as soon as the owner became aware we were not buying anything (actually not really liked the postcards and no sending service available as well as far as i was aware) he came out of his spot to make sure we would not “benefit” from his shop and leave through the door which connected it to the art market, but through the other door. Which was made clear in a rather irritated tone of voice. Weird, as both were a...
