#5 Sugar on Top
Okay this might not be one of the latest cafes in Penang, but they’re coming out with new desserts menu and we just have to give them a shout out. Known to serve one of the best lava cakes in town, they’re sure good at what they’re doing. Despite the signature Matcha Lava Cake, they’ve launched new exciting flavors. Durian Lava Cake? Dragonfruit Lava Cake? Or even Earl Grey Lava Cake? They have it all here, unique and unexpected. They too came out with Salted Egg Lava Cake that is oddly satisfying. It’s the durian season, so Durian Waffles is a must.
