About Urban Daybreak
Urban Daybreak on Lebuh Bishop is the go-to brunch cafe in George Town. The Melbourne-inspired menu runs from ricotta hotcakes and shakshuka to grain bowls and smashed avocado on sourdough. Portions are generous and plates look as good as they taste. Coffee comes from local roasters and is consistently well-pulled.
The catch: expect a queue on weekends, especially between 9 and 11 am. There is no reservation system, so arrive at opening (7:30 am) or after 2 pm to avoid the wait. The space is pet-friendly, and the courtyard seating at the back stays cool even on hot days. Last order is at 4 pm sharp.

★★★★★September 2026
Melbourne-style brunch done right in George Town. The berry french toast was fluffy and the berry compote was not overly sweet. The avocado toast with poached eggs was also excellent. Huge portions — we could barely finish. Opens at 7.30 am.

The pancakes with seasonal fruit and basil ice cream were creative and delicious. The specialty coffee was smooth and well-extracted. The bright, airy space on Lebuh Bishop is a welcome escape from the heat. Free WiFi available. Staff were attentive and friendly.

We came for the all-day breakfast and were impressed by the variety of healthy choices. The waffles with peach slices and berries were a standout. The fresh juices were also good. Prices are fair for the portion sizes. Gets busy on weekends so arrive early.

Best breakfast spot we found in Penang. The berry-and-cream-cheese-stuffed croissant was incredible. The coffee menu is extensive and everything is made with care. The cosy Melbourne cafe vibe is spot on. We went back three times during our stay.

Established since 2016 and the quality has not dropped. The food is really good with generous portions that are definitely worth the price. The restaurant is bright and comfortable with especially attentive staff. A reliable brunch choice in George Town.
