1) Bread History
As of January 2016, Bread History has 15 outlets to its name, making it a well-known name among Penangites. From buns and pastries, celebration cakes with your favourite characters, dry cakes and bread loafs, you can find an extensive array of products here.

2) Savour Bakery
Savour Bakery is actually affiliated to Bread History, as both brands are owned by the same family. This bakery is considered to be a “healthy concept bakery”, as ingredients are organic, produced using local ingredients, and made by hand. Visit their outlet at Plaza Gurney, and have a healthy dose of baked goods for a change.

3) Passion Heart Café
Here, you’ll get some delicious cakes to sample, so come on an empty stomach! They are at 83 Muntri Street, and are closed on Tuesdays. You can get classic cakes like Chocolate Moist and Hummingbird Cake, or quirkier options like Cempedak Cake, which is a decidedly local twist, or Blackcurrant with Red Wine, for an elegant option. They also have an array of oven fresh cookies for sale.

They’ve expanded a lot since then, now occupying 3 shoplot units on Jalan Paya Terubong in Air Ita. They specialize in 3D cakes and tired or fondant wedding cakes. They also sell breads, buns, tarts, pies and organic grains.
