Coffee Break at Cozy Starbucks, Penang 🇲🇾

#winhkflight 📍Starbucks Coffee, Design Village Outlet Mall, Penang We had some coffee at the famous chain coffee store, Starbucks after doing some shopping at Design Village Outlet Mall. The store is minimalist, with wooden-alike decor all over the place including the tables, the chairs, the walls decor. It has both outdoor and indoor seatings, and of course we chose indoor seatings for their air conditioning space in the afternoon. Great place to hang out, get some work done as the café is quiet and cozy, love the cushioned seats and the long tables in the middle of the store.
