Discover All Day Bread, a chill spot in Medan hailed for having the city's best bread. Dive into their must-try signature salted egg yolk fried bread or a creamy avocado dessert in a quiet, comfortable atmosphere perfect for working or chatting. But here's a heads-up: while the bread is a winner, be very cautious when ordering custom cakes. This review breaks down the highs and lows, plus tips on scoring free donuts and other deals.
Lately, I've been looking for a quiet place to Nongkrong in Medan, and I came across this place, All Day Bread, which has thousands of reviews and a 4.8-star rating on Google. The reviews all say their bread is the best in the city[1], so I went to check it out with curiosity.
The atmosphere inside is really nice, pretty quiet and comfortable, not like those noisy, chaotic influencer-famous spots. I saw several tables with people working on their laptops or chatting quietly with friends. The vibe is very Chill[2], perfect for when you want some alone time or a heart-to-heart with your bestie.
For the food, I have to rave about the signature salted egg yolk fried bread[3]! The outside is fried just right, and with one bite, the molten salted egg yolk filling bursts in your mouth. The texture is super Mantap! There was also an avocado dessert[4] from the cooler. I forgot its exact name, but its cool, creamy texture and super rich avocado flavor make it an absolute lifesaver for beating the heat. They have a wide selection of bread, and the prices are fair. No wonder they dare to call themselves the best in town.
But, as usual, let's get real
Although the bread is a strong contender, it's not without its flaws. The coffee I ordered had a slightly strong smoky flavor[5], I'm not sure if it was a one-off, but friends who like dark roasts might love it. Also, some reviews mentioned that some of the meat-filled breads occasionally don't seem very fresh, so that's something to keep in mind when you order.
The most important thing to highlight is: if you plan to order a birthday cake from them, please, please, PLEASE double- and triple-check all the details! I saw a girl complaining that she ordered a week in advance, but due to an internal communication error at the shop, not only did they miss the birthday message on the cake, they even got the pickup location wrong[6], causing the entire birthday party to be postponed. That whole situation is just so Anjay...
How to Avoid Pitfalls & Save Money
