1st time here. The pizza , made with homemade sourdough, is absolutely delicious—definitely one of the best I've ever tasted. The Neapolitan pasta with salmon was also fantastic, with a generous portion & a big piece of salmon. Will back & explore more of their menu! Malaccans & visitors to Malacca, don’t miss this spot! Food : 5/5 Ambience : 5/5 Service : 5/5

I quite enjoyed the food, the sourdough focaccia base pizza was a surprising banger. I was expecting another thin crust and was pleasantly surprised to get a crust with more chew. There are not too many places in Malacca that do sourdough pizza and this one is good, the portion is the size for a personal pizza, which may be a plus or a minus individually. The burger was tastefully done, and the portion was rather generous, which made me regretfully be unable to continue with some of their desserts on display (an excuse for a second visit). All in all, the experience was very good and the staff were very responsive and friendly. Do note I am unaware how a high traffic day will affect serving times.

Having my weekend fabulous brunch today with my fren in Malacca, after hard day working life for whole week. Best grilled chicken, sourdough Focaccia Bread, and fruit tart I ever had in my life. I will recommend go for the buttermilk crispy chicken chop as well as the coffee (my fren had it), thumbs up.

Randomly came in for a quick caffeine fix, ordered a latte for takeaway. Surprised to find a very good atmosphere in here, nice ambience. Seems to be run by a mother-daughter duo (I could be wrong), which gives this cafe an extra touch of warmth and coziness. Latte is decent. They still did the latte art even though I requested a takeaway cup (extra point for the effort). Do visit when you're in the area! Great for a cuppa.

During our recent scouting trip to Melaka looking for new places to eat, we come across this place at lunchtime. I like the slogans inscribed on their walls - the kind of vibe for those who love eating. As we had a heavy breakfast, we decided to order at first a light meal- their homemade mushroom soup served in pumpkin shaped bowls which strangely kept it hot for quite a while. The mushroom soup had finely minced mushroom bits cooked in their broth. This also came with generous serving of crispy garlic bread. We ordered blue rose chrysanthemum, vitamin C tea and sour plum blended drink with the meal. But because the soup was good, we also ordered fish & chips to share. The fish was lighty fried to a crispy outside but the flesh was soft & white, going well with the green salad and fries. The food is excellent indeed. For me, the must try is also the sour plum drink with dried sour plum saturated well in the blend. The cafe is run by 2 lady business partners. When asked why the name "Donno", they said if our friends don't know where to eat, just go Donno cafe! We are happy to add this place aa one of the want to go places.

Coffee in a chilled coconut. Why have I not thought of that. The taste is both refreshing n intriguing, as the espresso blends into coconut juice instead of water. With the coconut strips ( spoon provided to self scrap), it adds jelly like Coco into this nice drink. My friend liked he sour plum drink saying it's the best sour plum he had The mushroom burger comes with fresh shiitake mushrooms and cheese n wholy vegetarian n flavourful. I will return for this burger, especially the buns are well toasted, pickles are not the too sour ones,.and there also is a hashbrown and vege in the fat vegetarian burger. Owner says the signature is fish n chip after our meal... But I am really too full as this is my 6th meal of the day at 230pm. Nice deco also and we choose to sit at the stone gravel table.
