Mangga at the Blue Mansion

Good music in the evenings, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The Wild Magnolias were playing soft and Jazz muisc on Friday. They made the popular songs their own. The 3 person band had very good voices. They have an extensive menu for desserts, appetizers, and main courses. The vegetarian options are limited, 2 appetizers and 1 main rice dish. The drinks were ok, I would not recommend the Cosmopolitan. The service is good and great atmosphere, can be romantic with all the lights.

Yummy dessert & not over sweet, we had the Tiramisu & Strawberry shortcake. Efficient & friendly service, wonderful jazzy garden atmosphere. A very talented jazz band & singer in the background. Loved it. Nice place to chill & conversations with friends.

Not great food, service or music! Salad was passable (probaby the worst dish) the cauliflower was comparatively the best dish, the prawns were also meh but unfortunately served with stale bread and the nasi lemak did not have a tasty coconut rice. We were there to listen to the jazz band (Spunk Unit) but unfortunately they too fell short!

I stopped by for a quick lunch after visiting Cheong Fatt Tze and ordered the spaghetti aglio olio. Honestly, one of the best I’ve ever had! It’s more of a fusion style with bold spices, which I really enjoyed. Because I couldn’t stop thinking about their pasta, I came back another day and tried the grilled chicken, which was quite disappointing. It was bland and didn’t meet my expectations at all. Thankfully, they had live jazz that day, and the music, paired with the breezy afternoon vibes, made the visit worthwhile. Would I return? Definitely, for the live jazz and that unforgettable aglio olio :) Will I try their other menus? Maybe not without recommendations!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5-Star Google Review for Cafe Mangga, Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Penang A hidden treasure nestled within the historic Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Cafe Mangga offers more than just a meal — it’s a full experience of taste, ambiance, and heartfelt hospitality. We had the pleasure of enjoying: • Creamy Salted Egg Spaghetti – A rich, velvety dish that hits all the right notes of umami and comfort. Chef Arjune’s touch truly elevates it! • Crispy Chicken Drummets with garlic, honey & lemon glaze – Perfectly balanced, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. That glaze? Unforgettable. • Grilled Chicken Salad – Light, fresh, and flavour-packed. A refreshing contrast to the warm dishes. • Drinks were also on point — especially the lychee mocktail. What made our visit even more special was the team behind it: 💛 Cafe Manager Shu made us feel so welcomed. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for the café are felt in every detail — from the service to the vibe. 👨‍🍳 Chef Arjune deserves major applause for crafting dishes that not only taste amazing but are beautifully presented. Whether you’re a local or visitor, this café is a must-stop in Penang — for the food, the people, and the story it tells through every plate.

Great cafe beside The Blue Mansion! Ordered the Aglio Olio Spaghetti with Grilled Chicken. One of the best I ever had. Strongly recommended if you love that garlicky taste coupled with yummy grilled chicken. 👍👍👍

Had a pleasant dining experience last night. Food taste was solid. Though I hope the menu curation can be improved. There was an kitchen error on our tofu cheesecake but the waitress was kind enough to quickly rectify for us. It had a really good texture to it, highly recommended for trying this one. 10/10 would come back again for the morning vibes.

Food is great and the place is so insta-worthy! Would highly recommend the nasi lemak, appetiser chicken and the kambucha drinks !!
