Best Cakes in Penang

Cakes are fairly limited here at Huey & Wah, but when there is, you can expect it to be good and absolutely addictive. This cafe is pretty modern on the inside, but looks fairly plain and boring from the shopfront. Inside, you'll find the ground level to be fairly tight, but there is a mezzanine floor in which you can enjoy slices of cake in silence and peace. After all, each slice is rich and creamy, so shoving 3-4 slices may seem inhumane.

ChinaHouse is another great place to enjoy a wide range of cakes. The best part about it is when you step in the cafe, you'll be greeted by a table filled with cakes and pastries, all nicely presented for you to choose. With several unique favourites like the passionfruit with coconut butter, carrot walnut and double chocolate, it can be easy to lose track of what you'll want and order everything, then regretting everything the day after. 

Macallum Connoisseurs has been a great place for many of the younger generation to work and play. Not only is the venue incredibly huge, it's also packed with tables and chairs, with some of them having its own power outlet. Coffee is quite good, and the cakes are a great pair as well. Just ask what is the recommended cake of the day and enjoy.

You might be surprised to see what this humble little shop in Penang has to offer. Thanks to their talented and experienced baker, Jasmine Cakes serves delicious and mouth-watering cakes. There’s also no need to sweat over extremely sweet cakes because they offer you the right final taste where every single one of the carefully-made cakes are baked to perfection – a glorious attempt!
