Muffin Break in Warwick

Not happy with the server (blonde girl) She was very flippant chucking things down on the tray. Coffee machine broken so told me an americano is the same as a flat white.....hmmmm ok so I ordered a flat white... how can the make that without a machine I wondered.... was brought a all I can say was a cup of milky water with froth on top ! After being in catering all my life. I was astonished how this can happen.... you don't blag/lie to get a sale !! Shame on her.

The last time we came here (before the rebrand) it was all a little seedy but quite different now. Good coffee and very good cheese scones.

(NB. Pre-lock down review) I've reviewed a few times, and its OK. The service is friendly but a forced type of friendly. Service is pretty quick though. Food is pretty good, but coffee is drinkable. Seating area is worn when we went it was messy. Not enough staf to clean up the tables quickly enough. Nice place to go for a quick snack and drink in the priors but there is better.

The food looks delicious but muffins are little to dry and not much filling inside. Still good place to go anyway

We had a quick, quick lunch here - some tea, carrot & coriander soup, and a sausage roll - all good. Try it !

Rebranded to Coffee a Break for some peculiar reason. Half the menu board spelt wrong, stale coffee cake and watery coffee.

We have never visited before but I understand this place has had a rebrand. We went in this time due to the poor weather outside - we wanted lunch and it was easier to get something in the shopping centre and stay dry rather than venture outside! Service took a while - there was a long queue but it did move slowly. Space inside is bright enough but the tables sat uncleaned and untidy for a while. We shared the meatball panini which tasted fine but was only lukewarm - coffee was good enough. Leamington has lots of good independents - this place is ok but not sure we would come again

Although the name has changed, the experience is no different (better or worse). I popped in with my daughter and ordered a coffee, and my daughter had a drink of some sort. Coffee prices are competitive for the area, but other drinks are expensive. Staff behind the till are friendly, but it can be difficult to here them especially when it is noisy. Layout isn't great either to be able to see all the "muffins"! Also, it does get busy and therefore there is limited seating - so it's not a bad place. However, it isn't the cleanest. There are not enough staff to clean the tables and there is generally a lot of mess on the floor. I am likely to go again in the future, but not too soon.

I just passed by today to grab a sandwich in a hurry and I chose the smoked salmon & cheese bagel, which looks just like in pixtures. The bread was dry, I could barely bite from it, the cheese was dry as well. Terrible service. Shame to the managers to let their staff serve sandwiches 3 days old!!! They should know the fish could be easily infected with viruses and people can get sick by eating from you!! I paid £3.90 for a bagel that was by far the worst and even more I could got sick from it! I do NOT recommend this place, unless you want to get sick and you don’t know how. See pictures below

I am a regular at this cafe and always feel welcomed and valued as a customer. They have an excellent toy corner which my toddler loves, and a good selection of food and drink which they can be flexible with for kids portions and other requests. I’m very glad I found it!

I used to be a regular customer, but manager was rude during many occasions... I thought to pay a visit with my friends, but we were not satisfied: we paid huge money for being teased. Coffee was much better but became average. Some staff were rude too... Never again

Rebranded to Coffee Break now. It was much better than some of the basic reviews said and coffee was quite good. A bit of an argy bargy over getting my old Muffin Break card credits transferred over. When he hadn't phoned I asked for a few free stamps on the new card. Which he did eventually. Good location and still good food

A franchise turned into a independent Coffee Shop . Firstly great to here and good luck . Great food great service . Best hot choc in town my kids loved this . My coffee was the best I have had in Leamington for a long time guess what it was even Hot not like other coffee shops. Heard they will be doing there own selection of food after Jan , can’t wait to come back and try . OMG I left the best time last the New rainbow cake was excellent 👍🏽. Like the new name simple, nice and bright red .

This place had gone independent and is now Called Coffee Break!(Really Original) When you walk in, you would be forgiven of thinking that this was still Muffin Break. Nothing has changed apart from the sign. The decor is the same, the labels they are using are still Muffin Break ones and they are still using Muffin break take away cups for milkshakes! Im pretty sure there is a brand protection law against this. The food is the same, panini's are identical. The only thing that isnt the same is the Quality, the coffee and tea is cheap and not they nice but they still charge the same price. The re-brand was done on the cheap all they have done is user cheap stickers(the kind the dentists gives to kids) that says Coffee Break on and stuck them on everything even travel mugs!.the service is shocking and disorganised(that hasn't changed and its they same staff and manager as before) This is a clear attempt of them trying to Rip off the muffin break brand and trying to ride on Muffin Breaks success. Even by keeping the name similar they are hoping customers won't realise. When i visited i was also shocked to see that they have not regards to allergens, they were serving a cake covered in nuts and it was in the same display plate with a Victoria Sponge, i witnessed a member of staff serve the Victoria sponge as as.they scooped it off the tray it brushed against the cake with nuts on it. If the person buying the Victoria sponge had a severe nut allergies then this could have proved fatal. This place needs closing.

Staff and workers were chaotic even though it was not busy. I waited quite some time for my hot chocolate and when I received it, it was not up to standards and the chocolate powder was very salty and the cream was plopped on with no care. Also they did not know how to make an iced coffee so my companion had to expalin the method. Also they don’t have a forks.

People have given this establishment a 1.... I have been using this place for about 2 years . Always greeted with pleasantries. Coffee Always great. Food always of a high standard. Even when busy there is very little wait.

We stopped for a quick coffee and milkshake. The service was friendly quick and thus superb. The coffee was ok, not like an artisan one but decent. The chocolate milkshake on the other hand was excellent and very tasty

I have read some negative reviews on here and couldn't disagree more - I've never had a bad trip to Muffin Break. This one is my usual, and I've been going here on and off for years. The muffins are always delicious, it is clean and, in my opinion, the staff are the best in Leamington. They're incredibly friendly and always have a smile on their face. They're 100% happy to help and I always come back for the service because they're all absolutely lovely, so polite and sincerely make you feel welcome. (In fact, Muffin Break as a chain always seem to have excellent staff) Very friendly environment and worth paying that bit extra for in my opinion.

I could not find one single plug socket within the cafe, this is awful in modern day. The wait to get served was to long as not overly busy however had to three people try and serve me in a row this was down to some confusion over who was supposed to be serving. If your going to name a shop after the product I thought I should try a muffin and was disappointed it was quite dry. Coffee was nice tho and the team was friendly so not a total loss.

I must start by saying thanks to the owner who personally lent me his mobile phone connection and had a fantastic brunch at muffin break leamington spa... Had a delicious pastry and earl grey tea which arrived in under 4 mins with a huge smile, nothing is too much trouble for these guys..such a pleasant reception- well worth the visit thanks so much!!! Will be back;-)

I like this place. The service is very good. You are greeted as you enter. Good selection of food and drinks. Prices are average for an outlet in this central location. The staff are lovely and will bring your order to your table. Very children friendly. Have tried to find something negative to say but have had to give up !

Good coffee and always excellent service friendly and a smile from all staff.Fresh food and attractive display.Children always comfortable which makes them more likely to behave.Have never left feeling unhappy.

I visit here all the time either with family or friends x it clean & tidy and has lovely friendly staff x the coffee is always spot on and the hot chocolate is to die for x good choice of muffins x cakes and sandwiches on display x and the muffins are delicious x last one i had was black forest it was delicious x sometimes it can be very busy in there x but all good things come to those that wait x never been dissapointed x

I've been to Muffin Break several times when I stayed in Leam and it was one of my favourite places - good brew of coffee, nice staff and always fresh cakes and muffins. Cannot wait to go back!

Whether your out of town or local visit muffin break, your spoilt for choice with their gorgeous freshly made on the premises muffins and other gorgeous freshly made foods such as sandwiches, wraps , pies , cakes and pastries, all served in comfortable surroundings by pleasant and happy staff , we have always looked forward to our daily visits , very happy indeed

Great for any time of the day,you can stop by for breakfast,lunch,coffe or just a nice chat with the staff. Kind atmosphere. Perfect!

Really pleasant experience. This is the first time I have used Muffin Break, I previously would have used Costa or Starbucks but not anymore! The staff were extra helpful and superb with my 2 year old! We will be back soon for abother Latte and tasty muffins!!! Thank you team!

We were on a National Holidays weekend break visiting Leamington Spa for the afternoon. We spotted what looked like a nice place to have an afternoon drink and when the time came we decided to have a coffee and a muffin in Muffin Break. We were spoilt for choice with the muffins on display, but in the end settled on Lemon & Coconut and Black Forest muffins with a small Americano coffee, it came to £10.50 a bit steep but the muffins looked good. The coffee looked a bit dark but tasted okay but the muffins were a real let down. The Lemon and Coconut did not taste of coconut and barely of lemon and the Black Forest didn't really taste of anything. The assistant realising, he had overcharged us offered us a free drink as compensation, but when we said we were only visiting Leamington Spa for the day he offered a free muffin each instead. While a very generous offer we settled for the £1 that he had over charged us a sad reflection on the muffins.

Second time to visit this particular cafe as the muffins are great and so fresh. Not sure if it was because I had a Groupon deal with me this time but the older female member of staff, who seemed to be in charge, was not at all welcoming. A younger member of staff served us our muffins and was very pleasant but the other member of staff who was responsible for serving us our coffee was not at all pleasant. We felt we were very much an inconvenience to her day. Last time I visited I was served by two male members of staff and they were lovely and so helpful. Coffee was nice but not hot so there was no way I was going back to the counter, with the attitude I had previously encountered, to mention this and request a warmer cup!!!! Will check the next time before I stop for a muffin break who is serving.

Staff was rushing to go home, as the manager aperently told them to clean the se early as it wasn't busy.

It was OK... No big deal really. Quite cold inside though. £6 for drinks for 4. A few cobwebs on the ceiling. Cakes looked nice.

Went here for coffee and cake/muffin.. We went on a groupon voucher. We ordered got our coffee and muffin went to one of the tables that was clean as most were dirty and not cleared. On sitting down my hubby had a sip of his coffee which was cold!! He said not to bother .. but my motto is whatever you pay it should be right.. the guy behind the counter was very polite and bought us new ones to the table and was very apologetic. Nice place standards need to be improved

Went here with my mother. Ordered a tea, a latte and a chicken tortilla stack. Waitress appeared manic which was perplexing as the store was not busy at all. Asked me four times if that was everything on my order - despite replying yes the previous three times. Started to act manic and stressed where she was slamming cupboard doors because she couldn’t open them initially straight away.Presented a cup for the tea that had a sticky brown substance on it , after raising the issue with her she went and got a replacement cup- this one did not look washed at all and had brown stains all over it, to the point where a customer next to me commented on it. Asked again for another cup, she sighed and went around the back to get another one .

We came as a family and had a rather large order. The waitress must have l gotten stressed for us wanting to order for a family as she started *shouting* at us.

The food wasnt to my tasting. Bacon wasn't fresh .cheese cake tasted bland . The team were polite and friendly. The team member who serve me didn't seem to know what she was doing. For the price I would have expected fresh. This was my first visit.

Had coffee and a coconut and mango muffin which was just amazing. Definitely worth sampling one of these so fresh and tasty. Staff were very helpful and friendly and prices were excellent. Good display of delicious treats on offer. Very relaxing atmosphere where you didn't feel that you needed to rush your food. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Popped in for coffee and cake. Staff were very polite and friendly. Cake and drinks were good. We didn't encounter any problems.

Went for afternoon brunch had nice sausage roll which was warmed for us followed by coffee and walnut muffin all very nice. It is upstairs in shopping arcade, staff all appeared to be foreign but very helpful and friendly.

Gluten free toasted sandwiches of your choice. are a great help for lunchtime snacks for my wife. Great coffe and good seating.

This seems to be becoming somewhere I visit regularly. I do try other places in Leamington but here the service and food have so far always been good. The place is friendly and isn't pretentious, the prices are reasonable and as far as I can tell the place seems to be clean with the tables wiped etc.

The staff weren't very nice here. I wasn't ready to order when they asked if they could help and one girl muttered something which sounded rude in spanish. The girl who served us probably should've phoned in sick, she was so coldy which wasn't her fault but didn't like the thought of her touching my food!

popped in was very busy not keen on the latte muffin not very moist not somewhere I visit frequently but then im not a muffin lover

Happen to be in Leamington Spa again today, I've been to the Muffin Break here in the past a couple of times. Just had a breakfast borritto with a cup of coffee... tasty and filling. The service is excellent and everyone here is very friendly, respectful and helpful. Will come here whenever in Leamington Spa!

Popped in for coffees for the grown ups and cakes for the kids

We have visited Muffin Break several times and return because the connected coffee is lovely. We also like the pastries. The manager is super and has such a nice sense of humour. Nevertheless, some of the serving staff (and by no means all) need to learn a few manners and serving skills. An odd grunt is just not good enough even if English is a second language. Nice setting and a thank you to the staff who tried to make a difference for their colleagues. Do visit because the coffee is excellent and it is an excellent location.

This is another branch of these cafes which seem to be increasing. Yet again it is very clean and has some seating just outside. The staff were polite, helpful, and efficient. The muffins were delicious which they offered to warm, and they had decaf tea and coffee available. They can also provide a small range of batches and toasties. Overall a good place for a snack. Would certainly go again.

Plus Very good taste of coffee Good staff Covenient location Some veggie options Minus The cutlery is dirty

Have been to muffin break several times and again not happy.

I thought I'd try muffin break again having not been for while.

I've been here a few times now for a Coffee and Toastie. I've always found the staff welcoming and keen to help.

Stopped after arriving in LS from Grantham. Service ok, coffee reasonable. Had scone, again ok but nothing special. Would I go back? Maybe. Can't complain!

Coffee is good but expensive. Muffins and food on display is good. Soup is very poor. Service is friendly enough - but sometimes rather impersonal.

Took daughters for a "brunch" - chocolate shakes, hot chocolate and muffin! Service was friendly but maybe initially got my order wrong - although this could have been me not being clear! For nearly £16 for two shakes, a hot cholate and three muffins I was hoping for quality. Quantity good, but quality not so. I had a Malteser muffin - It had one malteser, which was stale on some sort of dry cream but muffin was OK, but no real taste. The chocolate shake was not chocolatey! Girls had their treats but were not really impressed as they would have said something. Although the place is clean, their was mess on the tables that had yet to be cleaned up. I've had better experiences here, but today was not a great one.

Stopped off for a coffee and a muffin as I had been walking around shopping for hours! Good choice of lovely muffins - I had the Earl Grey muffin with a skinny latte. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

This review is based on a visit about two months ago.

The chocolate frappe took my grandaughters eye and the old saying of 'eyes bigger than tummy' came to mind. This is not a small drink. She enjoyed it and said how nice it was. There was enough for us both. My latte and muffin were good as always. Would recommend.

Often go here as the coffee is always good. Last time had my free birthday muffin which was delicious and huge

Short n sweet didn't enjoy tough panni, service was poor, staff young and inexperienced. Tables were not cleaned correctly. Shame as display in chilled food cabinet looked nice.

We have been here previously but things have clearly changed. Tables needed clearing, no teaspoons, no napkins, broken toilet handle and one of my pet hates, a damp towel in the disabled loo - the dryer was broken and the cleaning/check list has seen better days. Drinks were fine and the croissants were fresh. Are you short staffed as you have been so much better.

Great coffee, great service and great array of savoury and sweet snacks - comfortable and varied seating even though the decor feels a bit sparce, I make a point of having a break there whenever I shop in the Priors.

Stopped off for lunch at Muffin Break to try something new, great selection of quiche, pizza, pie, cake, wraps, panini- all a little different from your usual coffee shop.

This is a very handy stopping place while shopping in town. I can seriously recommend their sausage rolls. The best ever!

Another good review for muffin break, cheerful happy welcome to me ,my tray was also carried to my table as had baby in buggy. Love this place.

Great coffee break here, service is always good and efficient. Varied selection of sandwiches, panini's, muffins and coffees. Staff seem to enjoy working here, never lazing around always busy keeping the place clean and tidy. I always come here for a coffee break in my working day, as I have a loyalty card, so looking forward to the 6th coffee free.

Lovely coffee and a varied, but limited selection of savouries and cakes. Friendly and efficient staff.

Took my 91 year old mother in wheelchair ordered 2 toasted tea cakes and two teas the toasted tea cakes turned up after we'd drank our tea And tea cakes were stone cold

Upon entering muffin break, they have this poster advertising a red velvet muffin with cream cheese and strawberries. The image had a drizzle of pink icing and strawberries on top. So I ordered this muffin because it looked really good, but what I actually got of a red muffin (didn't even taste like a red velvet cupcake) with a little drop of white icing. Extremely disappointed and will not be going there again!!!

We called in here for a muffin and a hot drink whilst shopping in Leamington. The guy who served us was very friendly and immediately recognised where we came from. Although we had to wait a few minutes for our drinks he did apologise for the delay and asked us to let him know if they were not to our satisfactory. Overall its a nice little place to pop into.

Staff struggled to understand English. Staff made mistakes with order. Purchased 3 muffins all 3 were left. One was over pouring in cinnamon (double chocolate) one gluten free coconut with no coconut taste. One chocolate raspberry and it had grease paper inside the muffin. The drinks (after repeating the order 3 times) weren't too bad. Waiting time was about 15mins. Price was average.

Visited muffin break on several occasions was always greeted with a smile and attention to care ,one girl I'm particular who is always on point and makes me stay even more enjoyable Liz or Elizabeth her name is she is lovely and always has a smile on her face and is very good with customers not only talking to them but the attention and care she takes when dealing with a customer they are very lucky to have staff like that I will recommend they come a visit the great muffin break in leamington spa keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!

I like the quality of snacks and coffee and go often. Service slows at the end of the day but it's ok. If you have a loyalty card you need to remind them to check if you've earned your free coffee otherwise they won't.

Possibly the nicest sausage roll I've ever eaten, supplied by a level of service severely lacking most places. Will return 100%

We've visited Muffin Break on 3 occasions (more fool us) and on each visit have been left feeling unhappy. The service is slow and disorganised and on one occasion I was ignored whilst other customers got served. The tables are often dirty with other people's cups etc and little care is taken to really care for the customer who are treated as inconveniences to staff who look unhappy and overstretched .

This venue may not look very flash from outside, infact it is situated inside a shopping mall, nevertheless being out of towners, we returned because we knew the place was great. Having also taken a peek at a famous patisserie in same centre it is far better in both the selection and staff attitude. At the Muffin Break we found all the staff were super efficient worked as a team, and actually value your custom. It was busy with good mix of all ages, locals mainly. The food selection was so fresh and appealing. Most items were different from the usual churned out and served everywhere at high prices. Very good value for decent portions of tasty savoury and sweet dishes. Definately worth a visit for light meals, we went over lunch time. Previously been for coffee and cakes.

Popped in for a relaxing hot chocolate and a delicious apple and cinnamon muffin;scrumptious! Nicest cafe I've been to in a long time in Leamington. Clean,tidy,polite,fair prices what more can I say !

Just OK, didn't get any wow factor! Had to ask three times for half a glass of water for my toddler, first it came full to the brim, then less than half and finally the nice man serving got it right but I had to ask for a straw. Straws should be offered to you , not given ..its just better hygiene. I know that's picky but you can see I am with a little boy, give him a toddler appropriate cup and offer a straw...I get fed up asking the same thing everywhere....

Disappointed with my pot of tea, which could have been hotter, and the same with my jacket potato, would not revisit in a hurry.

Quick visit for a coffee and a rest. Food ordered by others looked really good. Complimented the barista on the coffee which I thought was astounding and hot. Toilets clean as well. Staff very friendly. Nothing to fault it. Lattes £2.55 each.

Good coffee and muffins with friendly helpful staff. Prices were also good.the place was clean and tidy and there was plenty of seating space.

Muffin break has rapidly jumped up in my estimations lately and the one in Leamington spa outdid itself the café is spacious and well decorated, the staff are efficient and friendly and the drinks and cakes are delicious!

Went there for a hot chocolate it was very cold and the table was dirty ...The toilets were clean but wont be going again...

Always eat and drink here when visiting my son who is a UOW nearby.Friendly staff and lots of choice to eat, Pannini's,Sandwiches, cakes, muffins, toast. Fast and tasty. Love the Flat White at Muffin Break

.....The café wasn't busy but the floor was filthy, covered in cake, crumbs and dropped cutlery. Our table was dirty and the one next door was stacked with dirty crockery despite three staff being stood behind the counter. The cups handed to me were dirty and when I took them back the waitress said 'they're not dirty, they're just stained!' The next 6 cups handed to me were also dirty. I have a reward card but for the second time in as many weeks the staff claim the machine wasn't working to allow me to exchange my points for a muffin. Dirty café with poor standards of cleanliness and disgustingly stained cups. Would rather visit another café in Leamington next time, especially given the vast choice.

We needed somewhere for a quick cuppa and this looked good. Nice and clean, spacious and an airy feel thanks to the large windows. Good service with nice fresh muffins, although the double espresso may not have been a double....

Love coming here for afternoon coffee. Last three times at 4ish one of the waitresses has decided to start hoovering behind the bar and then out into the seating area where customers are trying to have a relaxing coffee. What times closing?? Sorry thought it was 5/5.30. My pet hate to be made to feel unwelcome. Many other places in the town who won't make you feel you have to rush out. Such a shame!!

Well... the coffee's better than the muffins. Very large, extra sweet muffins are very much in the Yankee taste. But customers seem to like that. Bit pricey, though. The coffee is excellent and - with the loyalty card - works out very reasonable. Staff are first class. On the ball and throw out top notch beverages. Always worth a visit

Nice enough surroundings and a good variation of food. Staff reasonably friendly. My biggest annoyance is that when I paid for a bottle of water I was given a Kirkland bottle from Costco! For the price paid I would expect a main brand! Mars bar cake was awful- I took one bite and left the rest! Hot chocolate was quite nice. I wouldn't be in a hurry to return!

Took my two girls for a drink and some cake as a treat. Not a huge queue but with only two people serving the service was slow and staff struggled to get the orders right.

We popped in to see what this was like as we'd not been there before and the first thing you notice is that there are about 6 staff serving behind the counter so you don't have to wait long - this is great, until you realise that rather than one staff member doing everything on your order, they all seem to pitch in with a bit of it, which means that it's like a chaotic mad-house of people putting orders on wrong trays and so on. Pity as the enthusiasm is great!
