Place: no clear indication outside the shop saying "The Daily Fix Cafe" except a small sign board stating it's inside another shop. There's a coffee & bakeshop in the front, the actual restaurant is further inside. They have ground and 1st floor dining seats as it's converted from an old British/Portugal/Dutch (heritage) built house in the past. I must say that on the 1st floor, whenever anyone walks, the floor shakes and vibrates. Kinda scary for those who are not used to it. So, no jumping on 1st floor please! Another down side, if you sit upstairs, you'll have to go down all the way to the counter to get your self order. But considering the food here, I'd only say this AFTER EATING, that it's generally worth it. Service: service here is left wanting. upon arriving, without even checking, the waiter told us there'll be a 20 to 30 minute wait. (Nothing wrong with this if you knew your stuff) Well, it proved a wise decision to wait as just 1 minute later, the same waiter told us of an available seat on the 1st floor. So, poor service for me. If I were just a little impatient, a potential customer would have been chased away. But hey, there are plenty of customers here, so 1 doesn't matter I guess. Food: 1. TDF big breakfast: the standard run in the mill big breakfast that is commonly served in any above average western diner. So, this dish for me, was not a standout in any way. Nothing really special to shout about. The scramble eggs were under seasoned. It felt like an assembly of individual cooked and prepared ingredients instead of a really cohesive big breakfast. Perhaps I was expecting too much after the French toast. Verdict: 3.0/5. 2. French toast: a slight twist on the usual french toast in Malaysia. The bread is crispy fried to perfection, coupled with the banana and strawberry cutlets and delish ice cream!! (Yes, ice for breakfast isn't the healthiest, but who cares as long as it's great together!) It could use a little touch more of honey, but it's all good. Verdict: 4.8/5. 3. Banana pancakes: the pancakes were so fluffy, moist and soft that I could have died, went to heaven and came back to life just for another taste. It was good. Just good. Down side, some small parts of the pancake had a bit of charred taste. Otherwise it was nearly perfect. Verdict: 4.9/5.

After four long years later, we came here for our second visit...and how much things had changed...so much for the better!!👍👍👍We had the BEST ever breakfast here, and Eidlan was really enjoying himself, having a really good time!! All our orders came so fast we were hardly ready, in between taking photos of Eidlan.. My Poached Eggs on Toast was simply perfect, not too hard and not too runny, I had really enjoyed the best Egg Benedict ever!!!😋😋😋 My wife also praised her order of Crispy French Toast, which she said was," Sedap sangat!!" Najwa and Etty also had some fancy dishes which I couldnt remember, and they were highly satisfied too. Meanwhile, Eidlan was more interested in playing with the antique typewriter, which he must have imagined to be an organ musical instrument...🤭🤭 All in all, we had the best breakfast in Melaka, and this had more than vindicated our earlier unpleasant experience...Kudos to The Daily Fix for taking all bad comments positively!!👍👍👍👏👏👏 This daily faux is definitely over rated...if this is the best that Melaka has to offer, its totally NOT GOOD ENOUGH! We went on a monday night, but still had to queue to be seated. But that was not the problem...my wife and I had been fasting, so we thought of breaking our fast in style, but we were thoroughly disappointed...my lamb stew came earlier than my garden salad, so that upset my dietary plans. My wife had finished her fish & chips well in advanced, but her mushroom soup never made it to our table at all! We ended up having it to go, as we had to made space for other patrons...I hope the bosses are aware of this problem, as the waiters kept blaming the kitchen team!! Better buck up, people...you are giving Melaka a bad name!!

The Daily Fix has a nice atmosphere but alas its food overall fell short of the hype. Nice soft lighting and interiors with lots of greenery and antiques give a nice backdrop to dine in. The big breakfast was underwhelming and the beef chilli fries were served soggy (probably because it was baked with the chilli to melt the cheese when it should be served crispy with chilli freshly dolloped on top). The spicy dip, pancakes, and fried chicken burger were pretty decent. Coffees were decent too. Service by the staff was good, however the wait for the food was way too long imo. We arrived at 840 and managed to get the 2nd last table as there was a long queue that had already started at 815am. After settling in and looking at the menu, we queued to place our order and completed it at 912am. Cold drinks too about 5 minutes to arrive and hot drinks took 10 minutes. The food however, arrived sporadically over the span of >45 minutes. The poor pacing and timing of the food probably diminished the experience, as there were gaps where we were left hungry - our last food item arrived at 958am. Feels slightly ridiculous considering we were part of the first seating tl;dr - nicely done up cafe undone by its own hype. Arrive by 830am to get a table but still be prepared to wait up to 45min for your food. Feedback to the team: tighten up the menu to reduce wait times during peak periods (e.g. pastas only after 11am) - too much variation inevitably slows down the kitchen. Long wait times for food lead to slower table turnaround which just snowballs the waiting problem.

The food was really delicious! 🤤🥰The place is massively packed with antique furniture and stuff! This restaurant has every vibes! Once you enter you will fall in love to look around. Unfortunately you can’t choose where to sit since the restaurant is always full house. For foods! For spaghetti lovers! Please try the Spaghetti sambal prawn! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!!! It is spicy and omg it is so delicious just like nasi lemak modern but colab to spaghetti lemak! This is not joke bruh! I will repeatedly come here. My husband is having English breakfast I guess. The portion is big so please dont eat alone if you are on diet. Im not sure about my husb plate taste is because i was really enjoy by my own self eating that spaghetti sambal. 😂 Im not even take any chance and offer to taste his plate. But from that moment he really enjoy and does said “mmm sedap! Boleh datang lagi.” And i keep repeating my self that my plate is delicious. 😂😅“Yang sedapnya… and sedap gila”. Sound corny but this is real. Ok stop here! Enough this statement is make me craving again and again. For drinks. Please eat your straw because they serve you with edible straw. Love it. But… i hope they can change to more long glass/mug for the ice drink. 🥰 For ordering is self service. They will give you a menu and you need to order and pay at the counter by yourself. Ok thats all. Ty to “The Daily Fix”. ❤️

This place is packed even on weekdays, the interior is very nice perfect place to have a quick lunch but still chill vibe. We occupied the last available table when we went there at 1pm. We ordered:- 1. Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict - 5.5/10 It is very, very disappointing that the eggs are not runny at all as "eggs benedict" should be. It is a hard-poached egg, see the picture. The smoked salmon, bread and salad are of standard taste. They use the kewpie sesame sauce as 70% of the cafes use for their salad/dish - not a problem because that sauce is incredible. 2. Local Pandan Pancake - 8.5/10 Definitely the MVP of our visit. The pancakes have coconut and gula melaka as their fillings and the coconut with gula melaka is also served on the side. The pancake was crunchy on the edges and very soft inside. They give you 5 pancakes! We shared it because the portion is big. 3. Onion Rings 6/10 I forgot to take pic of this but it was the standard frozen onion rings. It's fine, suitable for munchies and the portion is perfect for sharing. 4. Hot Chocolate (70% cocoa) 9/10 Love it so much I can drink this everyday as I like chocolate's bitterness. 5. Iced Honey Lemon Tea 9/10 Not too sweet, of perfect taste and sweetness. Definitely opt for this if the weather is hot. 6. Latte 7.5/10 It was okay. The staffs were nice and prompt, liking their chill but still professional attitude.

Visited in Feb23 during lunch hour. Waiting time about 30 mins to grab a seat. Their seating is quite limited & some are lower table. Some are making sewing machine as table in which looking quite unique & vintage but not too practical due to the table is too small where is very challenging when the food is serving on the table. Ambient is quite dim lighting. toilet is quite dirty in which I think might Hv to take some attention on it. Ordered signature salted gula melaka (ice) which is not bad, would recommend to give it a try. Hazelnut latte not too bad too. For the crispy chicken salted egg yolk pasta, it is creamy and with little bit salted egg yolk taste & the Chicken is fried till real crispy. Not bad though. TDF French toast is unlike usual French toast where the toast is deep fried instead of pan seared the toast. Texture of the toast is dry. It’s look like bread crumb coated on the toast. I don’t prefer this way of making & call it French toast. Too dry to have it although it’s come with vanilla ice cream & banana & some strawberries at side. Personally don’t like it. It would be good also have more option on the ice cream serve with the French toast instead of only vanilla ice cream.
