The Alley Churros, Charm & Coffee in George Town’s Hidden Lane

#penangspots Tucked away on Stewart Lane, The Alley is a cozy cafe that’s earned its stripes as a Penang favorite. With vintage vibes, indie tunes, and a snug interior, it’s the kind of place that feels like a secret shared among locals. The space may be small, but the atmosphere is big on warmth perfect for quiet catch-ups or solo coffee breaks. Their churros are legendary crispy outside, soft inside, and served with dips like salted caramel or Nutella that make each bite unforgettable. Pair them with a flat white or the signature Pink Guava Frappe for a sweet escape. It’s halal-friendly, open late, and full of character. The Alley isn’t just a cafe it’s a little slice of Penang’s soul.
