I visited this coffee shop for the first time a few days ago, to join an outstation friend here for breakfast. There, I met another local friend who was having char koay teow. It looked very nice, so I returned to this coffee shop today (3 February 2014) to try the char koay teow. It is indeed very good. I ordered with "kae3 liau3" (extra ingredients). My plate of duck-egg char koay teow with extra prawns cost EM7 but I enjoyed it very much.
Kafe Mandarin is quite a distance (10-15 minutes walk) from the nearest bus stop, which is along Green Lane. The bus stop is served by Rapid Penang bus 102, 206 and 304.
