    If you’re active on Instagram and Penang food blogs, this cafe in a pre-war building does not need any introduction. Patrons go head over heels for their wood-fired bagels and rejuvenating home-made yogurts. The idyllic piece of puzzle that completes a harmonious meal here is their carrot cake, somewhat underrated till it reaches your palate. Each bite is an explosion of grated bits of carrots, walnuts, raisins and smooth cream cheese frosting - simply carrotlicious!
