"Interesting place definitely worth checking out for something different. Retro setting. Food is unique eg laksa pizza and buffalo curry puff. Do try the kopi bancuh. It not immediately easy to find. Look for signs to Top One Print shop and walk up the steps from the street to the Kompleks Kedah. It is the the first shop you will find on the left - it is co located in the print shop"

"The environment of this cafe was cozy and clean there were kpop songs streaming in the background. The workers was friendly and responsive. They were always happy to help and always had a smile on their face. I ordered the Matcha Strawberry, Kimchi noodle and the ice cream croffle. There's some special dishes too, like the laksa pizza and the Portuguese egg tart tastes good too.The price was reasonable and not so expensive. The food is authentic and tastes great. They sell some kpop merch and have a photobooth too. I really recommend this cafe for kpop fans who want to have lunch in a cafe who have beautiful places to take pictures. Overall, it's a great cafe to visit."

"If you're into reliving nostalgic memories of the old days, and like antique items, this is the place for you. Almost all nooks and crannies are filled with things from the past. I love it. They had promotion during my visit in Sep, but I am not sure now. Garlic minced chicken rice was tasty although it looked bland. Owner said there are some limited parking in front of the shop. It shares the same space as an advertorial company."

"My wife and I moved back to Pg , our hometown right during the pandemic. Wifey have been craving for Yong Tofu since then. Finally today by luck we stumble upon Half Coffee @ Kedah Road. But let me be clear. This is NOT your regular cafe that you would expect. This place is a funky little place off the wall with shared spaces for a digital print shop etc. When I said funky off the wall I meant funky GOOD!. All the items in and around the sitting area (notice I used sitting areas) are filled with the things that I have taken for granted from the old hand held telephones from yesteryears to old famous chinese vinyal covers to tape decks and cassettes to old radios to the current 90s boomboxes. Old clocks, tin boxes I used to see at our local grocery shop growing up where we we eat our bisquits to various mill stones for milling our spices by hand! Phew! Too much to describe in a nutshell. Just come and visit. You will not regret it. Food is excellent. You really need to be a local Penangite to appreciate the retro setting! For those expecting bright lights high ceiling cozy lounge or coffee chairs forget it. You come to this venue for nostalgia nothing else! Cheers"
