Coffee Atelier

Coffee Atelier (6 October 2013)


Coffee Atelier (GPS: 5.419025, 100.337813) is the name of an ensemble of restored townhouses along Stewart Lane, in George Town, Penang. Though often called "shophouses", these terrace houses were originally residential in nature, even though some of them converted to commercial use over time. They were designed in the Straits Eclectic style around the turn of the 20th century, replacing earlier link houses in the area.

The name Coffee Atelier was derived from one of these terrace houses, 53 Stewart Lane, which once had a coffee roasting business. It was located across from the office of the Penang Heritage Trust (before PHT moved to Church Street). Due to the proximity, guides departing from PHT would often take visitors to stop over at the coffee mill to have a look at how coffee is roasted.

Today Coffee Atelier houses a boutique inn, a coffee shop, an art gallery, and a coffee museum. The inn, called simply Suites 47 & 49, offers luxurious accommodation within the old part of George Town. There are four separate units, namely 47A, 47B, 49A and 49B.

55 Cafe & Restaurant, located at the junction of Stewart Lane and Chulia Lane, offers a selection of Mediterranean-style dishes along with cakes and confectionaries. The Gehrig Art Gallery exhibits the work of its owner, Stefan Gehrig, who specialises in Malaysian art.

Finally there's the Kopi Museum, preserving the equipment and machinery of the former Kim Guan Coffee Factory.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
