My bill, you judge for yourself

I guessed Charlie Brown Cafe are trying to compete with other well known fast food outlet. Why i say this? This is a self service outlet. That means you order food and beverages from their cashier counter. Surprisingly, there are only one cashier counter and the queue are so long. When come my turn, the order taker told me the food are limited. It was quite disappointing.

Overall, they have the ambiance to chill and hang out with friends, family and lover.

Charlie Brown Cafe are located at:
3A-1-17,18, Straits Quay,
Jalan Seri Tanjung Pinang,
Tanjung Tokong, 10470,
