It has been a long pending cafe on my list to visit, the 2F+ Coffee Roastery. This shop is located in Relau, closer to Free Industrial Zone. The shop is located in front of Golden Triangle, but a little bit difficult to find for a first-timer, as there are no big signboards or parking areas, and the road is rather high-traffic.

After all, I had a great lunch! If I may, I wanted to add a tiny bit of salad even with an extra cost. The meal was served with some greens, as seen in the picture, but I felt I needed more, may be because my mouth was a little hot with chilli. After the meal, I also ordered Filtered Coffee with Colombia. More precisely, Colombia Cauca Finca El Paraiso Double Anaerobic Flor Lichi! There are not many cafe in penang showing the process of the beans, and this is always a good sign that their coffee is good! Light roasted, very aromatic coffee. I think this is one coffee you should try. Correct …
