Tropical Calm with a View – My Visit to The Palm, Penang

#penangspots Perched above the sea in Tanjung Tokong, The Palm offers a breezy café escape with a coastal resort feel. Housed in a chic whitewashed structure with high arches and rattan details, the space blends Santorini charm with Malaysian flair. I dropped by mid-morning and stayed for about an hour, soaking up the ocean breeze and relaxed energy. Outdoor seating faces the sea, framed by white parasols, while indoors, soft-toned interiors feature woven textures and leafy palms. It’s stylish but not overdone—great for groups or quiet solo visits. What I Ordered I went for their Eggs Benedict and a cold white, both plated with care. The eggs were perfectly poached, resting on sourdough with creamy hollandaise. Their coffee menu leans toward smooth blends—ideal with brunch or pastries. Other highlights include avocado toast, croissant sandwiches, chicken karaage rice, and house-made matcha lattes. ⸻ Admission & Practical Info • 🕒 Hours: 9 AM–10 PM daily • 💴 Prices: RM15–35 for food; RM10–18 for drinks • 📍 Location: Jalan Seri Tanjung Pinang 1, Tanjung Tokong, Penang • 🚗 Parking: Street and limited in front • ⏱ Suggested Time: 45–75 minutes • 🐾 Pet-friendly outdoors; walk-ins only • 📸 Instagrammable interiors and coastal backdrop ⸻ Why It’s Worth Visiting • 🌴 Calm coastal setting with sea views • 🥐 All-day brunch with strong classics and Asian options • ☕ Smooth, balanced coffee to match light meals • 🪟 Stylish indoor-outdoor design perfect for photos • 🎈 Relaxed vibe with gentle sea breeze and sunlight ⸻ Final Thoughts The Palm brings resort café energy to Penang’s coast—perfect for a slow brunch, coffee with a view, or catching up with friends in a photogenic setting.
