About Norm Micro Roastery

Norm Micro Roastery is a narrow, light-filled space on Church Street Ghaut with a focus on single-origin beans roasted in small batches on-site. The baristas know their beans well and can walk you through the tasting notes of whatever is on rotation. Pour-over is the way to go here — typically RM14 to RM18 depending on the origin.

Seating is limited to about 20 spots, mostly along a communal counter facing the roaster. Arrive before 11 am on weekdays for the best chance of a seat. Food options are minimal: a few pastries and toast sets. This is a place to focus on coffee, not a full brunch venue.

What to Order at Norm Micro Roastery

Norm Micro Roastery offers a menu that changes with seasonal ingredients and availability. Below are the typical items you can expect. Prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and may vary.

Signature dish (RM15–25) — The house specialty and most popular order. Ask staff for the day's recommendation if it rotates.
Set meal (RM20–35) — A main course paired with a drink. Good value for a full meal.
Drinks (RM5–15) — Coffee, tea, fresh juice and soft drinks. Specialty coffees cost slightly more.
Dessert (RM8–18) — Daily selection that changes regularly. Worth asking what's freshly made.

The latte here is outstanding. They use single-origin Colombian beans with a gentle sweetness and hints of chocolate and almond. The industrial-minimalist space is flooded with natural light. Easily one of the best coffees in Penang.

Speakeasy-style entrance that is tricky to find on your first visit — look for the small sign on Gat Lebuh Gereja. Once inside, the space opens up and feels grounding. The tiramisu is one of the richest in town, with a strong coffee kick and a touch of alcohol.

Melbourne-style brunch done right. The big breakfast plate was hearty and well-presented. Each cup of coffee is crafted with precision — you can taste the difference. Prices are RM20–60 which is on the higher side for Penang but worth it.

The space is rare for George Town — expansive and airy with high ceilings. Good for working on a laptop. The house-made desserts are excellent, especially the cake of the day. WiFi is reliable. Can get busy on weekend mornings.

This micro roastery takes coffee seriously. The filter coffee was clean, balanced, and beautifully extracted. The minimalist interior lets the coffee speak for itself. Staff are knowledgeable and happy to discuss their beans.
