Named after the sweet acronym “Every Minute I Love You,” Emily Darling Cafe is a charming French-style patisserie nestled within a restored heritage shophouse on Penang Road.
Founded by a former optician and a graphic designer who turned their pandemic-era sourdough hobby into a professional pursuit, the cafe is celebrated for its vintage collectibles and lush greenery. It offers an escape from the tropical heat into a whimsical, fuchsia-accented interior.
Visitors primarily flock here for the artisan pastries, including the famous Onde-onde croissant and the signature Quiche Emily, which features smoked duck and a mixed berry reduction.
While the atmosphere is undeniably romantic and photogenic, the seating policy can be strict during peak times, with larger lounge areas often reserved for groups. It is an ideal spot for a mid-afternoon dessert or a quiet morning coffee before the George Town tourist rush begins.
he café is recognized for its French-inspired pastries and artisan sourdough. Signature items include the "Croissant et Coco" (an Onde-onde inspired croissant), cempedak cake, and various fruit-topped Danishes.
As the cafe is located on the busy Penang Road within a UNESCO heritage zone, there is no private on-site parking. Visitors typically use public street parking or paid open-air lots located within a short walking distance.
The cafe allows for table reservations, which is recommended during weekends or for larger groups due to the limited seating capacity.
The cafe provides a mix of both. The interior is air-conditioned and highly decorated, while the front and side areas feature lush potted plants and outdoor foliage for a more garden-like feel.
