Now! Time to be a little classical. Introducing a cafe in Alor Star, with a very meaningful name -- Caffe Diem (taken from the Latin word: Carpe Diem)
Carpe Diem is a Latin aphorism usually translated to "seize the day", taken from a poem in the Odes (book 1, number 11) in 23 BC by the poet Horace. Carpe is the second-persons singular present active imperative of carpo "pick or pluck" used by Ovid to mean "enjoy, seize, use, make use of". Diem is the accusative case of the noun dies "day". Thus a more literal translation of "carpe diem" would thus be "enjoy the day"~~~ Information taken from Wikipedia.
Carpe Diem means "the enjoyment of the pleasures of the moment without concern for the future" ~~~ Information taken from Merriam-Webster.com

Caffe Diem is quite a new cafe in Alor Star and I find it located in a hidden place. This is the first cafe I visited in Alor Star and hence I have special feeling to this cafe.
It is open from 12pm - 12am, so it can be a place for brunch! However, their kitchen opens at 5pm, which means you can only get your Egg Benedict after 5pm =P
Very nicely decorated corridor seating.
You may choose to sit here if you need some alone time with your cup of coffee.

Jeng Jeng! Here's to my cup of Hot Latte (RM7.90).
Love their latte art, which looks so solid. (OMG, wondering if the barista can teach me how to make this... Oh please....)
Coffee. Coffee & Cake bar. Comfy environment.
Enjoy the moment - Here, with your coffee and your company (friends/lover/colleagues/family/strangers)
Menu are written up there and kindly read their menu. Some names are really cute! Example? Haiyo..... Step in and read yourself! =D
The staffs are quite friendly and I find their coffee really nice. Tried their hot chocolate as well -- Thumbs up! Not too sweet nor too chocolate-y. Can't wait to try their mains. Always go after dinner and hence I have no chance to try once. Will wait for a try!
Address: 6, Jalan Penjara Lama, Pekan Cina, Alor Setar.
Opening Hours: Sun-Tues; Thurs-Sat 12pm-12am
