“ Delicious lunch with my Mum & Grandma - lattes, swiss rolls, “Capy Burger” (lovely and cute themed salad roll) and spicy crab cronigiri! Bought multiple cute capy gifts - will definitely be back ”
“ **Environment**: Well decorated. Natural, forest, wooden colors that make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Tremendous delicate details everywhere. **Coffee**: One of the best Americanos I've ever had. Best quality beans baked properly. Taste didn't go mild as ice melt and lasted till the bottom of the glass. **Dessert**: I tried Tiramisu. Very rich flavor with high quality ingredients. The use of sugar was restrained at a balanced level - sweet but not overwhelming. ”
“ Its a hidden Gem that everyone should try. They have a variety of specialty single origin beans, roasted in house. On top of that, they can make a variety of different drinks based on your preference! My favourite was the "Specialty Coffee Dual Experience" where they make 2 small drinks, an Americano, hot latte from the same coffee bean, with a side of ice. So you get to sample different drinks out of the same coffee bean! One of the best coffee Experience I had in Penang so far. ”
“ To be honest, I’m not a coffee fan—but Capybara Café completely changed my view on coffee! The owners are incredibly passionate about what they do, and it truly reflects in their specialty coffee. I highly recommend their Specialty Coffee Bean Dual Experience—it’s something truly unique and unlike anything I’ve ever tried before! I also had the honor of tasting their wine flavor profile coffee, and wow—the wine-like aftertaste is simply amazing. Another highlight for me was their Osmanthus Latte. As a huge floral tea fan, this was right up my alley—fragrant, smooth, and absolutely delightful. With its warm and cozy ambience, Capybara Café is the perfect place to catch up with friends while enjoying a one-of-a-kind coffee experience you won’t find anywhere else. Highly recommended! ”
“ Delicious coffee and a lovely range of snacks. Incredible service - very friendly and welcoming! We were treated to a sample of coffee after finished our drinks and our children were given a little gift when we left which was incredibly kind! ”
“ Tucked away in a quiet corner of Tanjong Bungah is a cozy little café run by a humble couple from Beijing. A friend had recommended it to us, saying the coffee was excellent, though the food options were a bit limited. We weren’t too fussy — sometimes all you really need is a good cup of coffee and a peaceful spot to catch up with friends. That weekend, Penang was facing water disruptions, but we didn’t let that stop us. We made the drive all the way from Barat Daya to Tanjong Bungah, just for our usual coffee rendezvous. It felt a little like an adventure, chasing good coffee across the island. The café has a warm, homely feel. There's even a complimentary whiskey coffee offered — a pleasant surprise. The owners are passionate about what they do; they'll happily tell you about the beans they use, how they brew their coffee, and the little stories behind it all. It's not a place for elaborate meals, but if you’re looking for a quiet hideout with heartfelt coffee, this place might just become one of your favorites. ”
“ Marvelous capybara-themed family-run household cafe with lots of heart and superb ! The owners are a lovely couple with a passion for pets and homebrew coffee. Food items are limited but they make up for it with an adorable range of capybara toys and teddies. The lady boss even offered us complimentary single origin cold brew tasters. ”
