Leafy Lane cafe Greenlane is a quietly tucked-away spot in Taman Gelugur, occupying an unexpected niche inside a show house managed by a property agency. This café leans into a calm, peaceful vibe — inside, the air-conditioning hums gently and soft music plays in the background, making it a good choice for anyone seeking a relaxed corner for a date, some focused work time, or a low-key catch-up with family and friends.

The crowd here tends to be those who value healthy, well-balanced meals without overwhelming flavors. The menu is simple but thoughtfully composed, featuring high-protein, low-carb, and keto-friendly options alongside interesting drinks like protein shakes and fruit floral teas with a fermented twist that locals seem to appreciate. The mocha and waffles stand out as favorite picks, with the waffles often served as a dessert highlight. Portion sizes lean toward moderation, with quality ingredients justifying the mid-to-high price range.

Parking is relatively hassle-free compared to busier parts of George Town, with ample space right outside and along the adjacent narrow road on Green Lane. Visitors often find their experience enhanced by the café’s somewhat private feeling, thanks to its location away from the street hustle and nestled inside the mixed-use property setting.

Those who come here are usually looking for a health-conscious meal in a setting that feels less like a typical café and more like a quiet retreat. Mid-mornings or early afternoons on weekdays are ideal times to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere without the weekend bustle. The café’s attention to dietary needs and willingness to customize drinks, like dialing down sugar levels, adds a considerate touch appreciated by regulars.

A cozy café that’s great if you’re looking for some private time. They serve healthy and well-balanced meals, and the place is quite unique as it’s tucked inside a show house and property agency. From my experience dining here with my family, the food is delicious—though priced on the mid-to-high side, which I find reasonable considering the quality of ingredients. They also offer a lifetime membership for RM12, which gives you 15% off every visit. Currently, they have two branches: one at Golden Triangle 2 and another here in Greenlane.

A very nice place to have healthy meals. Taste not overwhelming, not salty. And the potato salad is not the usual kind with salad sauce. I think it mixed with coliflower, healthy! And drinks, yes they followed my instructions of 10% sugar. 2nd time here again for the great food.

The cafe has 2 branches. However The food served here in green lane is a lot better than the one in golden triangle 2. Same goes to the environment. I love their fruit floral tea. It served with marinated fermented fruits similar to kombucha. Perhaps is kombucha tea.. I ordered also the waffle desert. Nice.

Tried this place for the first time and loved it. Very peaceful inside atmosphere with nice cold air conditioning and soft piped in music. Perfect place to have a date or just bring laptop and do some work. Parking is also plentiful right outside and along the one way narrow road adjacent to green lane. Food wise.. Taste is very good and yummy. Lots of greens and healthy food for a healthy lifestyle. Highly recommend the smoked duck in om toasted sourdough bread. The air fried chicken was also yummy and juicy with the mashed potato option. Remember to use your grab app to pay for a discount including weekend deal and pay later options. Very worth it! Will be back to try more food dishes next time.

Perfect place for people looking for healthy food in Penang. They have high protein, low carb, keto friendly food here. A simple menu, but it has everything you need to give yourself proper nutrition. They even serve protein drinks here which is a first that I’ve seen.
