Brown Poodle Cafe - Tanjung Tokong, Pulau Pinang

First time here even though the cafe is not new. Really amazed by the taste of the food even though is vegan.

Personally loved the Thai creamy carbonara pasta but do note that it was a tad spicy, and kids enjoyed the creamy spaghetti with truffle oil.

Another highly recommended main was the vegan steak. Price was on the higher side but the taste made up to it —- it came with mint sauce!

Overall a very happy and satisfied dining experience and will definitely be back for more 🫶🏻

I came here with my family for a pleasant morning breakfast and coffee, but the attitude of the staff completely ruined the experience.

While we were looking at the menu, a server suddenly appeared without any greeting or notice. They pointed at the menu with their finger and stood there silently for about three seconds before saying that only the breakfast menu was available. Then they took away the menu without asking if we were ready. When I asked for the drinks menu, they dropped it on the table without a word. The expression on their face was striking — they looked completely emotionless. Honestly, even supermarket cashiers don’t behave with that kind of attitude. I was genuinely shocked.

We ordered a black coffee and a latte, but the server didn’t even ask who ordered what. They just placed the drinks somewhere on the table and walked away without a word. Even takeaway cafes usually provide better service than this.

The food and coffee were fine, but the server’s attitude completely ruined my morning.
I live nearby, but I have no desire to come back here again.

기분좋게 가족들이랑 아침식사와 커피를 마시러 왔는데 서빙하는 직원에 태도가 모든걸 망쳤다
메뉴를 보고 있는데 아무런 인기척 없이 오더니 손가락으로 메뉴판을 가리키며 3초간 아무런 말이 없다가 아침식사메뉴만 된다고 말했다. 그리고 메뉴판을 다 가져가길래 드링크메뉴를 봐야하니 달라고 했는데 말없이 툭 내려놓고 같다 표정이 압권인데 감정이 없는 사람같다. 슈퍼마켓 계산원도 이렇표정과 태도로 일하진 읺을텐데 정말 놀라웠다
블랙 커피와 라테를 주문했는데 누가 뭘시켰는지도 물어보지도 않고 그냥 테이블 언저리에 놓고 뒤돌아서서 가는데 테이크 어웨이 카페가게도 이러지 않겠다 싶었다.
음식과 커피는 괜찮았는데,
서빙하는 직원의 태도가 오늘 오전 내 기분을 망쳐 주었다
근처에 사는데 다시는 오고 싶지 않다

Creative a delicious vegetarian restaurant in Vantage Point, Tg Tokong. Pet friendly!

The food is delicious and you wouldn't thought that they are meatless at all! They are plenty of options from chicken chop to pasta.

We ordered their Neapolitan Baked Rice, it's a cheese baked tomato rice, serve with mushrooms and broccoli. The rice is cooked to perfection, the sourness of tomato paste is appetizing. The mushroom and broccoli provide the meal with some different texture.

We also ordered a broccoli pizza. The broccoli is charred, so you get a barbecue taste on it. The pizza based is more like a flatbread, so it wouldn't be too full, if you are gonna solo it.

The location is strategic as it is in Vantage Point, you can grab a good meal right after some physio, vet or wellness classes. They have many parking spot right in from of the shops.

They have "proper seats", not fancy weird stools. So it is suitable for seniors and kids. If you wish to work here, their table is big enough and they have some plug points too

Lastly this is a pet friendly cafe (you also have vet next door)!

Perfect bubble ice nutmeg lemon drink, so refreshing! Korean kimchi noodle soup is second try but still nice to have it, quality remains! Even food served is slow a bit but definitely worth the wait and everything are delicious!

This is one of the pet friendly cafe/restaurant in Penang.
Located in Tanjong Tokong.
The cafe serves all plant based menu.
They allowed fur kids to enter their cafe and there is a separate section.
The menu considers a wide range of varieties from rice, noodles, pasta and pizza.
The portion is consider big.
We ordered burger, curry rice, tomato pasta and bake rice
The curry rice taste good but lack of spicy kick.
They also have all day set lunch, including soup of the day and drinks.
You may add on certain amount to upgrade to coffee.

Watching the food coming out of the kitchen, my tastebuds were watering because I was noticing well presented food going to the tables. I enjoyed the clean taste of my food and recommend a visit if you wish to contribute to making a difference to our exhausted planet. I like the fact they call their food plant- based food and not using terms like vegetarian etc.

Very nice cute little cafe that serves incredible vegan food-only-. Tried Tofu Shakshuka, crispy teriyaki tempeh and miso noddles. Even if it’s hot, highly recommend trying the miso noddles as it was the star of the menu 🫶🏼 if you are in Penang, this place is a must try. They also make nice coffee, and sell pretty tote bags

Pretty much the best vegan restaurant I have eaten at.
The cafe is super clean and very aesthetically pleasing.
The food was exceptional.
I ordered the Runaway chicken burger and it was so delicious and super fresh.
I also had the Banoffee cheesecake which was divine.
The location is very easy to get to on the local bus if you are staying in either Georgetown or at one of the resorts on the beach like we did.
The only negative side was I didn’t visit here sooner on my trip and so could only frequent once.
I will certainly be going back on my next trip to Penang.
