Muffin Break in East Staffordshire

Dear Writers and Poets, I can wholeheartedly recommend The Muffin Break Cafe in Burton on Trent. Kate and her team are polite, friendly and streetwise. The music is kept at a reasonable level. It's pushchair and wheelchair friendly, and the food and drink is reasonably priced. So, if you fancy following in the footsteps of Joanne Rowling, bring your notepads, sketchbooks or laptops here. Find a double table (not easy!) and eat, drink and create. How's that, Mr Arbuckle? Love, Rich Harrison, (Musician).

The food and drinks are nice,but the staff are rubbish, those young kids are so rude ,they have no idea about customer service, and when my partner told her that don't need to throw the order on the table she just said oh sorry with a flegma face. Won't return ever again!

Very nice .hot cappuccino you don't get that at Costa.

I've been going here for the last few years and its constantly been amazing

I go regularly to muffin break on burton on Trent. The staff are very friendly and professional. The food amazing and coffee is great too. Always an excellent experience.

Go here often but today got served by a young girl with long brown hair and honestly felt like a nuisance and a burden to serve me. I'm not after a pat on the back but expect at least to be registered as a customer. This person needs training and quickly as I won't be returning if served like this again.

Got given gone off oat milk, not acceptable as it takes 3-5 days once opened for plant based milk to go off. Shame to see only one vegan and gluten free option in this day and age, fair enough if it was 10 years ago but every supermarket now does allergy friendly and plant based foods. Saw a staff member use a hoover to clean out the food display case which isn't hygienic either on my way out, at least i was given a refund but that kinda is the law if you serve someone mouldy or gone off products. Also, £6 for two small cups of tea is a little bit over priced for a small poverty ridden town.

Food and coffee was unreal. Slightly late arriving tho

Can't review what I didn't receive. Delivery driver seemed to just give up on delivering my food and declare the job done. I like this place fine, but if they guy delivering the food doesn't even ring you if they can't find you, that tanks everything.

Excellent food Quick delivery and Polite driver

WOW! The strawberry milkshake was amazing, so fresh. ❤️

Excellent food Quick delivery and Polite driver

Popped in to have a change from the usual high street food places. Pleasantly surprised. Fantastic place!

Perfect as always! Thank you! 🙂

Biscoff cheesecake Absolutely amazing as always.. Everything from here is always tasty! Thank you 😍

A little overpriced if I'm honest, but convenient and a nice spot for a quick refreshment 😆

Had a lovely breakfast “choose your own”, toast and coffee. No

Great friendly and efficient staff and lovely coffee. Only downside I don't like the gluten free muffins since head office changed the recipe

Always a good atmosphere, the staff are friendly and efficient. LOVE the vegan and gluten free muffins! Would love to see a savoury option to the vegan and gluten free. what I have is always delicious. Thank you

Lovely staff fab drinks and cake

Good coffee served with a smile

Ordinarily great, today however the driver just didn't ever arrive and declared the order delivered anyway. I never heard anything at my door nor did I ever receive a call despite clear instructions given.

Always pop for a coffee break here with my family, always friendly and welcoming. Would recommend

Amazing food and drink. A lovely place to sit in.

A lovely little cafe! Coffee and food are always delicious and the staff are very friendly and helpful!

Amazing staff and great food, absolutely love there hot chocolate and milkshakes beat any other in Burton. Their food is delicious love the toasties and cakes can’t beat a nice hot chocolate and piece of cake to warm up and brighten your day. The staff are so polite and always willing to help

Great friendly staff. Always clean and tidy. Would recommend.

Really enjoyed the duffin and coffee I ordered. Staff were friendly and the service was great.

Great coffee, lovely staff and brilliant service

Excellent products & super friendly staff 👌

Good as always.. Scones are fantastic as are the freshly made muffins.

The staff in Burton are so friendly, I visit most days and always have a warm welcome. The staff are efficient and very helpful. Fantastic service.

Perfect place for a relaxing coffee or meet with friends

Outstanding service friendly staff always very polite . would recommend to friends and family

Very nice costumer service. Even at the end of the shift I received a service with smile. Food was nice as well.

Nice place to chill & have a chat

Amazing place to sit and have a quiet coffee and a bite to eat. Staff are all so friendly and helpful.

Just ordered a salted caramel milkshake and my god it is amazing it tastes so good like literally the best milkshake I have had in a long time I will definitely be coming back here for another one for sure a forever customer thank you muffin break 🙂

Really helpful staff who went out of their way to help with amending something on the menu for me.

Great no straws though for drink that needed one. Lovely food

Loud clattering noises hurt my ears

Good coffee, the muffins are delicious. The staff are always helpful and friendly

A great place to have a drink and warm sandwich... Lovely choice of festive mains and delicious cakes. Very organised staff.. Polite and friendly. And hard working.. They never stopped.. And never complained.. We love going there.

Excellent particularly now they are doing bacon cobs etc

Nice seating and friendly people at the counter. Unfortunately the coffee was too hot - spoils the taste of the coffee and milk if you burn it! Also spilt a bit of the coffee over the cup handle which is a bit messy. Shouldn’t be giving coffee like this to the customer. Also the “fresh” cake wasn’t fresh. Tasted a couple days old and a bit dry too.

Wasn’t happy with this ordered I had to blitz the smoothie myself as was chunky and muffins were a poor standard which is disappointing

I was dubious when recommended the gluten free raspberry muffin but I highly recommend. Staff very helpful and friendly a great place to stop for a rest while shopping.

Will refuse you service for not downloading the test and trace app. Not worth your time if you havent got it

Enjoyed our muffin break from shopping as always, lovely staff,

Clean and tidy nice and fresh food

Service staff always polite and helpful

Always a pleasant place to have a cup of cappuccino

Good coffee ☕ and muffin 🧁 and friendly staff 😋

Staff are always really nice and helpful here! It was also really nice to feel slightly normal, not sat in anywhere for a long time due to lockdown! They were super on the cleaning too so nice knowing that everywhere is super clean and safe :)

I have only just discovered this cafe but it is first class !! I have never seen a cafe team work so quickly in order to serve their customers!!! A great selection of food and drinks and always spotlessly clean. Great atmosphere too! Thanks to all ☕️☕️☕️

They don't come any better than this lovely welcoming cafe. The very sight of the cake display counter on entering is a delight indeed. The staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming with a Barista qualification to match the very best, and outshine most. As a lover of 'Flat Whites', they are at the very pinnacle. Where else are flat whites advertised as small, medium or large. Most cafes/coffee-bars do not even offer a large. They should come here to watch and learn. I tried a Blueberry Muffin which was very fresh and crammed with fruit. My friend had toasted ham and cheese sandwich with tea which also scored a 5 star rating. Very fast service too.

Coffee and cheese scone very nice

The place to come and take up tables not eating or drinking! So many people just sit there taking up tables when people need them. Food is nice but staff should make people move on to free up tables. Even a lady asleep on todays visit, just sat there taking up a table

I love Muffin Break I visit the one in Derby regularly. I visited this branch today for the first time and I was not disappointed. The drinks and food are always wonderful and of a reasonable price. My advice is to be part of a loyalty card system, where you get every 6th drink free, it's well worth it. Well done the Burton branch you are keeping up the very high standards

Really nice place and we enjoy going there with my sister. Unfortunately last few times we couldn't enjoy it so much, every time when we go after 3pm the staff start to drag and stack chairs, clean, sweep and mop the floor, is really uncomfortable to be sitting and someone around to start preparing for closing the place when actually their closing time is 5pm. We couldn't eat our cakes and finish our tea because of the dust from sweeping the floor. We felt uncomfortable when all of the chairs were stuck next to our table and looked like no more guests are allowed to come into the area. We felt like we should leave. I am sure this is not the way this coffee should work and this job should be done when there is no more customers in there, definitely not making the customers to leave. Not sure if we will return again there.

Nice coffee clean but could do with some new seats
