榕茶室 Rong Kopitiam

Rong Kopitiam is a classic Chinese coffee shop situated in the heart of the bustling Pekan Ayer Itam. It embodies the traditional "kopitiam" culture of Penang, serving as a social hub for the local community. The ambiance is authentically old-school and unpretentious, with simple marble-topped tables and wooden chairs, where patrons gather for their daily coffee and meals.

Like most traditional kopitiams, Rong Kopitiam hosts several independent hawker stalls that serve a variety of classic Penang street food. Customers can order different dishes from various stalls while enjoying the kopitiam's signature coffee, tea, and toasted bread. It offers an authentic slice of local life and a taste of timeless hawker favorites in a rustic setting.
