The first 65C Ondo Bakery opened on Christmas Eve 2022.
In two years, this Japanese-style bakery café has made a name for itself in the local food scene and has grown to five locations—three on Penang Island and two on the mainland.
Since its opening, I’ve visited the café on Jalan Burma Road on numerous occasions to buy their delicious, Japanese-inspired baked goods.

The Ambiance and Café Experience
The café is spacious and stylish, with calm Muji-style minimalist interiors.
However, the café area feels a bit disjointed.
There’s a seating area near the door.
And another single table near the glass panel, which gets too hot in the afternoon.
The seating arrangement could use a little update, as it feels a bit worn.
Most days, the little café’s seats are fully occupied.
We managed to enjoy a leisurely afternoon during off-peak hours, savoring cheesecake and coffee.
The coffee, smooth and rich, pairs perfectly with the sweet treats.
However, the seating isn’t ideal if you prefer lingering in cafés for longer periods.
