San Francisco Coffee @ Gurney Plaza Penang

Finally the long-awaited San Francisco (SF) Coffee has opened its doors to the North, launching their very first Penang outlet in Gurney Plaza Penang! Coffee lovers in Penang can look forward to quality, fresh and robust deliciousness as SF Coffee takes pride and diligence in the brewing process for every cup of coffee from sourcing, cupping to the roasting of the beans! 

San Francisco Coffee located at the popular hangout spot - the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza, which is just next to Starbucks Coffee. The strategic location is perfect place for a good cup of coffee, sea breeze as well as the companion of friends and family.

The opening of the outlet was officiated by Dato Jaya JB Tan, Chairman of Envictus International, Dato Kamal YP Tan, Group CEO of Envictus International, Ms Koo Sue San, General Manager of SF Coffee, Mr Nik Azwaa Azmi, Head of Marketing of SF Coffee and Ms Anna Maria, Penang-raised artist. 

Comfortable sofa seats are available too!

Each of the San Francisco Coffee outlets are uniquely different in identity, the one in Gurney Plaza features the mural wall with the theme of "Coffee, Beach and Sea", which was created by the multitalented artist, Anna Maria. The concept was to create an oasis from the hectic life of modern Penang, offering a calm and serene space for consumers to enjoy the good stuff!

More comfortable seating if you want to dine in.

According to the General Manager of SF Coffee, Ms Koo, the sense of hearing, smell, taste and touch are awakened by their sweet tunes, coffee and the aroma of the freshly roasted coffee; the art allows the customers to culminate the all-round sensory experience as it helps evoke the sense of sight.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of Envictus International also shared that the coffee industry is one that progresses quickly with ever changing demands and needs; so with the first outlet in the North, they are excited to continue to bring San Francisco Coffee to the rest of the nation with the next being in Johor! So stay tuned Johorean, SF Coffee is coming! 

Behind the scene, any blogger/media that you can recognize? 😁

Throughout the session, I was quite impressed with their "1 Rule" whereby to ensure the freshness of their coffee each and every time, they use their beans within 1 month from being roasted and bagged, 1 week from the bag being opened and 1 hour from being ground. 

So wait no more, go try out the coffee as well as the food at San Francisco Coffee at Gurney Plaza! Don't forget to snap a photo of their mural wall too.
