Views and thoughts: Brown Pocket ~ the hidden gem in Penang Gurney Paragon Mall (Coffee + Waffles)

Hidden away from plain sight in Gurney Paragon Mall is this beautiful gem ~ Brown Pocket.

This really reminds me of the award winning movie of David Cameron - Avatar. (It's situated at the wing facing Kelawei Road, a level or 2 below the TGV ticketing counter. You'll need to get outside the mall's main building to reach it.)

Just when I step into the cafe, the wonderful coffee aroma filled my breath while the soothing background music usher me in. The ambiance is great and suitable for reading and hanging out with buddies or a romantic date.

This is their little library with quite a variety of books to read at.

I've ordered a cappuccino with double shots espresso, the taste came up to my expectation and ignited my senses :-D

I think the coffee beans is mid-dark roast, its subtle nutty flavour and dark chocolate bittersweet taste is really a blast! The milk is frothed at just nice temperature, giving the coffee a natural sweet touch.

They've recommended this Chocolate Banana waffles to go with my double shots cappuccino and I would recommend the same! This dish is moderate portion, so you won't feel bloated. The waffle's outer crust is a little crispy while the inner part is foamy soft, topped with a chocolate ice cream, it's a childhood dreams come true :-D it has also got a banana splits draped with chocolate syrup and some crunchy walnuts in the plate!

(Price: RM13.90 with 10% service tax)

They got quite a variety of food to choose from, either waffles or pancakes based.

This cafe is the most beautifully decorated one I've ever been to. Every different table has got their own unique enjoyable view, would recommend to try out their coffee at different table on other visits.

Here's some virtual tour of the cafe:
