5. Brown Pocket Cafe
With a cosy ambience and a stunning view overlooking George Town's skyline, Brown Pocket claims to be Penang's waffle connoisseur and we certainly can't argue with that! Using dough instead of batter and a pearl sugar topping to caramelise the waffle, it's a perfect blend of crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. We think that alone is enough to convince us to order every waffle (and pancakes) they make in a day. Brown Pocket also offers a duet set for those who can't decide whether to have waffles or pancakes. Every serving comes with their signature waffles, pancakes, topping of choice, and ice cream.
