Oldtown coffee is my mother's and my favorite coffee. The people in Penang are very friendly and the coffee is rich in milk flavor. If I can, I would like to drink a cup of Oldtown coffee every day to start a beautiful day. Good coffee, good service, everyone is very friendly! Nice day!

OldTown White Coffee Express at PIA-INT is a delightful spot for a quick caffeine fix before your flight! The moment you step in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee greets you, instantly lifting your spirits. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a moment of peace amidst the bustling airport. I ordered a classic white coffee and a side of toast. The coffee was rich and smooth, just what I needed to kickstart my day. The toast was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a generous spread of kaya that added a delightful sweetness. Every bite and sip felt like a warm hug, comforting and satisfying. The service was quick and efficient, ensuring that I didn’t have to wait long, which is crucial when you’re on a tight schedule. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. Their cheerful demeanor added to the overall pleasant experience. If you find yourself at PIA-INT and need a quick pick me up, OldTown White Coffee Express is definitely worth a visit. It’s a great way to start or end your journey on a high note.

You need to order by queuing up even if you’ll eat inside and not take away, but then they give you a number and bring you the food to the table. The restaurant is a decent place to eat, food and drinks (nasi lemak chicken redang& white coffee ) were delicious. The food came rather quickly and looked appetising as well :) p.s. they have even knives! Which isn’t common in many Malay restaurants but makes eating chicken much easier. :)

Old Town White Coffee was one of our favourite local Kopitiam chain 20-years ago. But poor management doomed its quality and they seem to have been reborn with new cleaner image in the past few years. Food quality is average at best but at the Penang Domestic terminal, most probably the best you get, the other being Starbucks. Otherwise, a great place to have a cuppa before boarding your flight if you don’t have lounge access.
