AE Coffee Penang A Petite Powerhouse for Specialty Brews

#penangspots Tucked along Lebuh Clarke in George Town, AE Coffee is a small but mighty cafe that has quickly earned a reputation for serving some of the best coffee in Penang. Operating since late 2022, this minimalist spot is run by a barista who placed in Malaysia’s national competitions, and it shows in every cup. The menu features expertly crafted pour over brews using single origin beans, including Guatemalan and Colombian varieties, alongside espresso-based drinks like long blacks and lattes. Their pastries especially the Madeline and Tiramisu with alcohol are baked to perfection and pair beautifully with the coffee’s nuanced flavors.

What makes AE Coffee stand out is its dedication to quality and its cozy, personal vibe. With limited seating and a transparent mini menu showcasing daily specials, the cafe feels like a curated experience rather than a typical coffee stop. Guests rave about the smooth body and mild acidity of the brews, and the Basque burnt cheesecake and Pain au Chocolat are also favorites. Though prices lean slightly premium, the craftsmanship and ambiance make it well worth the visit. AE Coffee is a must try for coffee lovers seeking a refined yet intimate cafe experience in Penang.
