Dre Coklat Penang sits quietly along Pengkalan Weld in George Town, providing a laid-back cafe experience with a distinct local twist. More than just your typical coffee spot, this place blends carefully crafted drinks with a menu that leans into hearty, comfort-driven offerings, making it a good hangout for anyone looking to balance a casual coffee session with some substantial bites.

The cafe’s atmosphere reflects a blend of Sarawakian warmth and George Town’s relaxed island vibe. The staff are notably attentive and knowledgeable, often sparking conversations about their chocolate selections, which feels like a little crafted local touch. Their hand-sampled chocolates paired with the coffee go beyond the usual cafe routine, inviting patrons to engage with the process and story behind the menu. This interactive element tends to draw in locals and curious travelers alike, especially those with an interest in artisan chocolate and unique flavor combinations.

The menu, while not overwhelmingly large, offers well-executed items like BBQ Pork Ribs and Thai Chili Herbs Sausage, balancing savory, robust flavors with lighter pastry options such as croissants with caramel or lemon custard filling. Their Sarawak Laksa Pizza is an adventurous fusion—something that would appeal to food explorers open to regional cuisine reimagined.

This spot feels best for mid-afternoon visits when you can settle into a slower pace—sipping on one of their signature coffees, sampling chocolates, and sharing plates of ribs or pizza with friends or family. It's the sort of place people come to when they're after more than just caffeine, looking to enjoy some depth in their snack or meal coupled with a relaxed, welcoming service vibe.

Visitors often remark on the friendly, approachable service and the genuine effort made by the team to explain menu items and share chocolate samples. The staff's warmth adds to the comfortable, unhurried atmosphere that encourages lingering. It's a solid pick for those who appreciate a casual cafe setting that respects quality and local flavor without the pretense.

#SexyCoffee Now this is a Coffee lovers delight and the some (a must visit)... Our waiter was a delight and their team from the manager down are awesome; my son absolutely loved the pizza and we met the pizza chef afterwards, really cool place and great people... Dré Coklat – Dre Coklat Premium is a handcrafted chocolate spot that blends tradition and innovation. They even bring samples of hand made chocolates to your table with your coffee order and when we paid the bill they gave us a small block of chocolate as a gift (dark coco chocolate). This is part of a swanky group of restaurants, so you can dress up from casual to smart casual... As mentioned, they also have a pizza oven so it's also a great spot to hangout and the fresh basil on the pizza was awesome. It's a taste of Italian culture in Malaysia and a whole heap more... Thanks guys, Kurt

This is by far the best restaurant and cafe in Penang. The menu is limited but the food is of high quality. I recommend their pork ribs and pizzas. The coffee is amazing and they always give you free samples of their premium chocolate. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place very much.

My family and I had a wonderful time here! I'm from Sarawak as well so it's good to find a Sarawak-based cafe here in Penang. Special shout-out to Wayne and Junior for their great service. They were very welcoming and friendly. The food was very good too especially their pork ribs. Appreciate Junior's effort to let us try all the chocolates and even explain them to us one by one. It was a pleasant experience taste-testing the chocolates. The chocolate salji (literally snow chocolate) is unlike any chocolate I've had and it melts in your mouth. Keep it up! Will definitely come visit again.

I would like to express my thanks to the waitress with short hair in black shirt and specs She is very patient, had a very good attitude and knew exactly what we needed most. We ordered the bamboo chicken, which was very nice , chicken thigh simmered in sweet and refreshing broth, not like those overseasoned soup elsewhere. Just the authentic essence of ginger flower and fresh chicken. The waitress made a kind gesture by personally slicing up some chilli padi and preparing soy sauce as a condiment for us upon request! It was the perfect combination, absolutely heavenly with the chicken and rice! Another must-mention is their signature bamboo coklat cake with lemang. It was warmed in a brick oven before serving and came with gula nipah. The cake was soft, warm, bouncy, and mouth-filling — not too sweet. Adding the gula nipah made it a bit too sweet for me, but the aroma really elevated the flavor! Highly recommended. Good ambience. Will dine again !

Went there for desserts. Ordered Vanilla ice cream with Mont blanc Matcha, Taufu fa ice cream with hazelnut mont blanc on cones and Lemang Bamboo cake. We were given small pieces of chocolates to sample. The ice creams were nice but didn’t like the mont blanc. They were too sweet and the taste didn’t go well with the ice cream. Perhaps should change them to spaghetti ice cream. Don’t mind having 2 flavours ice cream in a cone. No introductions on the chocolates but I must say I am impressed! They were locally made and good, especially the dark chocolates which were my favourites. Waiter recommended the Lemang bamboo cake. It came warm and paired well with vanilla ice cream. Ice creams and cake took sometime to come to our table. Need to state the duration on the menu for the bamboo cake to be ready so customers are aware. Ambience was lovely. Service was good. Will dine again to try the other food items on the menu
