Toh Soon Café|Start Your Day with Penang’s Classic Local Breakfast

A popular time-honored brand in the alley, the human touch of charcoal grilling

Located in a narrow alley on Campbell Street in George Town, Toh Soon Café is a regular place for many Penang people every morning. This old shop has a simple appearance, with only a tin roof and a few simple tables and chairs, but it is often full of friends. After the former head of Penang visited, it has become a popular check-in point for tourists and Internet celebrities.

The Three Treasures of a Traditional Breakfast

Toh Soon Café is famous for its traditional charcoal toast, coffee and half-cooked eggs. The boss insists on baking over charcoal to make the bread slightly crispy on the outer layer and soft on the inside, with a faint burnt fragrance.
The most popular flavors include:

  • Hainan Bread (Hainan Bread): thick and soft, smeared with homemade kaya sauce and rich in aroma.
  • Coffee Marble Bread (Coffee Marble Bread): With a faint aroma of coffee.
  • Whole wheat and chocolate bread: health and dessert are balanced.
    It can be used with three kinds of sauces: homemade kaya paste, peanut butter and imported butter, each with its own characteristics.

In terms of drinks, the store offers rich Malaysian coffee (Kopi) and milk tea (Teh), which are perfect for the combination of half-cooked eggs and toast.

Create an authentic atmosphere

Although the environment here is simple and the space is small, it is the best place to experience the most authentic Penang breakfast culture.
Sitting in the alley, watching the boss skillfully flip the charcoal grill, listening to the locals chatting, it seemed as if he had walked into the daily rhythm of Penang life.
