About PACE Coffee
PACE Coffee is a bright, minimal shophouse cafe on the quieter southern end of Beach Street. The focus is on well-sourced beans served as pour-over or espresso. A flat white runs RM12 and the pour-over menu rotates. Light bites include toasts and pastries — enough for a morning snack, not a full meal.
The high ceilings and white walls make the space feel open despite a narrow footprint. Weekend mornings draw the coffee-focused crowd, but weekday visits are relaxed. Closed every Wednesday. Combine a visit here with PACE's neighbour cafes along this stretch of Beach Street for a short cafe hop.
What to Order at PACE Coffee
PACE Coffee 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.

★★★★★September 2026
Bright, minimalist space on Beach Street with high ceilings and natural sunlight pouring in. The honeycomb latte was unique and delicious. The Big Boss Breakfast is huge — scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and sides. Fast WiFi and outlets available if you need to work.

Good brunch spot with creative drinks. The rose latte infused with tea petals was surprisingly good. The scrambled egg bacon bagel was filling. Only downside is parking — Beach Street can be tough to find a spot. Worth the effort though.

★★★★★July 2026
The iced latte was smooth and aromatic — reminds me of Blue Bottle quality. The dirty strawberry waffle was a treat. White walls, rattan accents and exposed red brick give the cafe a clean, relaxed vibe. Air-conditioning is a blessing in the Penang heat.

★★★★★June 2026
One of Georgetown's best brunch cafes. The coconut americano was refreshing and the pastries were fresh. The space feels like a beautiful library with its high ceilings. Cool AC, good WiFi — laptop-friendly for remote workers.

★★★★☆May 2026
The food presentation is Instagram-worthy and the flavours back it up. Portions are generous for the price. The only issue is that it gets packed on weekends and there can be a wait for tables. Weekday mornings are much calmer.
