Handcrafted sandwiches.

Tucked into Lebuh Cintra in George Town's heritage zone, chucafe8 is a small owner-run café pouring honest coffee and crafting toasts and sandwiches with care.
Our Story · 厝
A heritage shophouse on Lebuh Cintra, made for slow afternoons.
Since 2021, chucafe8 has been a quiet corner of George Town where the owner still presses every sandwich and pulls every shot himself. Our toasts are crisp at the edge, soft in the middle, and our coffee is poured the way we'd want it served.

Words from our guests
"A lovely cafe specialising in french / milk toast. We ordered the classic french toast and the HEC — the bread was excellent; soft and slightly charred. Their white coffee was very well balanced. Staff are friendly and patient even during busy hours."
"The toast really lived up to the hype — very delicious and nicely done. The price is also very reasonable for the portion given. Service was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful."
"Had breakfast here twice and loved it both times. The toasts are really excellent — you can tell the owner truly puts his heart into making them. A great spot for breakfast, highly recommended to anyone visiting."
“Pour slow. Toast crisp. Stay a while.”
