One should be forgiven for overlooking Ome By Spacebar Coffee. The narrow alley at which it is situated, Lorong Toh Aka, is narrow even by George Town’s standard. To make matters worse, there are no visible signboards on the café’s facade.
Brick walls line both sides of this secluded place. The barista counter in front has only a several seats while the back section provides marginally more space. Nevertheless, be sure to check out the specially carved coffee table here!
I ordered Coffee With Milk (RM13.00), which is essentially caffè latte. Served in a 9-oz. cup, the drink contains two shots of espresso. Fresh milk lends its soothing sweetness, making the coffee satisfying indeed.
Besides espresso, the café also offers Hand Brew Black Coffee (RM18.00) through drip brewing or AeroPress techniques. Compared to espresso, these techniques usually result in clearer brews.
Ome By Spacebar Coffee is considered a more “traditional” café in the sense that it does not serve cooked food. This allows customers to focus their attention on coffee and only coffee.
