Tucked beneath a hundred-year-old mango tree within the iconic Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Mangga at the Blue Mansion offers a picturesque heritage dining experience.
This alfresco-centric cafe blends the grandeur of Penang’s “Blue Mansion” with a laid-back picnic vibe, featuring both shaded courtyard seating and a cozy air-conditioned interior. The menu is a curated mix of modern fusion comfort food, ranging from local staples like Nasi Lemak with a twist to artisanal desserts such as their signature lemon pancakes.
While the setting is tranquil, it remains a popular stop for visitors attending the mansion’s guided tours, making it a vibrant afternoon tea spot. Parking is available on-site but limited, so visitors often utilize the paid parking lots nearby on Leith Street.
Though the mansion offers WiFi, the cafe is better suited for social gatherings than intensive remote work, as power outlets are scarce in the garden area. Whether for a breezy brunch or a quiet coffee, it captures the essence of old-world George Town charm.
The mansion has a small on-site parking area available on a first-come, first-served basis. If full, visitors can find public street parking or several open-air paid parking lots within a 2-minute walk along Leith Street.
Yes, the cafe offers both a shaded outdoor wooden deck (the "picnic" area) and a smaller air-conditioned indoor section for those who prefer to avoid the tropical heat.
The cafe is celebrated for its unique location under a centenarian mango tree and its menu of contemporary comfort food, specifically the lemon pancakes, Miso Mushroom Spaghetti, and their signature mango-themed desserts.
While walk-ins are welcome, the café can get very busy during weekend brunch hours and tea time. Reservations are recommended for larger groups or for the "Tea for Two" set.
According to current mansion policies, pets are generally not permitted on the grounds to protect the heritage site and accommodate the resident mansion cats.
