ae coffee, Lebuh Clarke, Georgetown

A cute and small cafe for a chill coffee break at Lebuh Clarke, Georgetown.

According to the reviews, it is famous for it’s coffee and also pour over.

We ordered a pour over, a houjicha, a matcha, one slice of cheesecake and a Pain Au Chocolat.

Left, Houjicha; Right, Matcha; Cheesecake and Pain Au Chocolat
We choose Colombia for the pour over

Personal opinion from someone that’s not a foodie:

Houjicha and Matcha, both came with milk, sweetened. You may also top up (RM3) for switching to alternative milk. It’s smooth and flavourful. Personally, one of my favourite Houjicha and Matcha in town, so far.

Cheesecake, I think it is Basque Burnt Cheesecake. It was a nice cheesecake. Smooth and slightly sweeter than my preference, just nice when you pair it with the coffee or drinks.

Pain Au Chocolat is really crispy, which made it hard to cut, I prefer to eat it with my hands. It tasted good as well.

No comment for the pour over, we are not much of a coffee person.

Overall, the foods and drinks are on par.

Price

Hot Houjicha and Matcha should be RM14 each.

Pain Au Chocolat is RM9.

As for cheesecake and the pour over, I have no record as I lost my receipt.

Personally, I think the price range is consider moderate to slightly on the higher side.

Food & Menu

They offered both sweet and savoury bagel in store. From the menu, there are quite a few interesting choices they offered, such as “MATCHA YUZU CC”.

You may check out their menu here.

“SUPER MARIO”

We tried “SUPER MARIO” and “DOUBLE EGG & CHEESE”.

Personal opinion from someone that’s not a foodie:

“SUPER MARIO”, the mushrooms with their seasoning and the pair with cheese, on the first bite you might thought it was chicken patty. But, you will quickly realised it’s not since they have quite a different texture.

Recommend to share with friends and family, it might be a little too much to finish it alone.

As for “DOUBLE EGG & CHEESE”, it’s pretty much a basic, not much to comment.

Other the bagels, they do offered quite a wide range of drinks and snacks, they have crosscut fries, tater tots okonomi or plain Tater tots.

Price

“SUPER MARIO” is RM22.00 and “DOUBLE EGG & CHEESE”is RM13.00.

The items on the menu range around RM8.00 to RM33.00.

Food

We ordered Chicken Bacon Carbonara and Catch of the Day (which is Fish & Chips).

Both looks great. Mine was the Fish & Chips which is nice, especially the fries. They are generous with the sauce. The portion was good as well, (I couldn’t finish mine without sharing with my friend).

Too bad, we didn’t ordered their drinks. We probably go back for another visit soon.

Price

From the menu, the price range is around RM12.90 to RM50 range for per main course. Drinks are around RM7.90 to RM24. For the details, check out their menu link below.

We paid for RM66.45 for two main courses, one Twinning’s tea and a membership fee of RM12.

The price is subjected to a service charge of 10% and 6% of service tax (SST). We got 10% discount from the membership so we considered it as waive off the 10% service charge.

Parkings

One of the cons of the cafe would be the parking issues. There is not much parking outside of the cafe.

However, there is a parking near their backdoor, Siam Road Paid Parking. Paid RM3 for around 2 hours parking, which is acceptable, as it was raining on the day we went. It would be troublesome to park too far.
