An evening trip to Black Kettle cafe in Penang.

It was a nice cooling evening at 8.00 pm when we visited Black Kettle Cafe located at 105, Beach Street, Georgetown in Penang. I have to stress that lately the streets along the heritage area is well lit up for tourists and locals to walk at night. It does get a bit ghastly if no shops and banks are open. Thank goodness the place is all scattered with many small cafes, pubs and convenient stores that lit up the area at night. Good on them!

The cafe coffee beans are inspired from the coffee in Australia. The cafe is pretty big for its space and location wise is great especially in the evening, night time and weekends when there are no people working in the banking district.

The cafe boasts a variety of croissants, danish pastries, buns and variety of cake slices.
A small cup of hot chocolate sets the price at RM 11. I ordered the Matcha Iced Latte which was RM 13. The almond croissant comes in a nice size however I must say the filling for the croissant is too little and it fails to bring out the almond taste. The chocolate danish pastry was average but it's cheap for its price.

The humble rhubarb crumble priced at RM 8.50 was the cheapest of all the cakes but i felt it was a bit dry to my palate. Nevertheless the place served many comfort food and drinks for hungry diners in the evening. It can even hosts birthday parties and events.

There is free Wi-Fi in the cafe and the owner of the cafe is obliging and polite.
