Muffin Break in Cherwell

Best muffins in the area and nice coffee. However, charging £6.10 for a small (and thin) mozzarella/tomato sarnie is a bit rich.

If I could give a ZERO STAR I would

I asked where the toilet is I was told to go home then asked again thinking they miss heard me I was then told I need to go home as they do not have a toilet in the venue This is ontop of the fact I came in with some SEN adults and the service was completely rushed and had no consideration for there needs honesty to think there are others places in town that are much more accepting and have 2 toilets compared to the ZERO

Delicious selection of muffins! Crusty from the outside and soft from the inside.

Best Coffee and coffee shop in Banbury.

Good food and coffee Fast friendly service

Very nice coffee, friendly service, and the coffee art is amazing by Lenka.

Muffin Break in Banbury offers a pleasant experience overall. The prices were acceptable, the queue wasn’t too bad, and the wait time was reasonable. However, our wraps were cold in the middle and not warmed up properly. Considering my husband's wrap contained pork, it really should have been heated thoroughly. On the bright side, the muffins and hot drinks were excellent, and we enjoyed those a lot. With a little more attention to food preparation, this could easily be a 5-star spot.

Great coffee and cakes plus lovely friendly staff Very quick service with a big smile 🙂

One of the best coffee shops in Banbury love the muffins.

We had a duffin which is a nutella croissant shaped as a muffin It s the best thing ever!!! So good!!!!! Thank you very much

I went there for coffee, great quality coffee, super fast and friendly service. Definitely will be back. I do recommend for everyone

I had two cups of coffee and a shortbread the coffee was smooth and the shortbread yummy. The staff were very welcoming, smiling and quick. I'm definitely making this my regular coffee shop ☕️😃

Love Love popping to Muffin Break on my way to work or in my lunch break... The girls are always so lovely, chatting and polite, always comes away feeling happy...! The food is always tasty and hot and the drinks are always made to my fussy order...! Great team and Great Service...☺️

Fantastic food, but service when it was busy was appalling, not expected given then number of people serving. I went with my friends and three of us were in the queue. As we queued some people came in behind us, and instead of serving the three of us who were waiting, the newcomers were served immediately. We mentioned this to the staff but not an eye flinched. When I was served, my friend was next and again, instead of serving her, some random guy was served from a group behind us. I picked up on it at this point and told the staff that he wasn't next and my friend was waiting, but again, no one flinched or looked at me or even apologised. It was appalling behaviour. The (I presume) manager was serving my friend and we told her what happened and she completely ignored that we even spoke.

100% STILL ! the best place for a coffee in Banbury All the girls are lovely and smiley and customer focused. I've been coming here for 10 years + and as Tina Turner would have said if she had visited " they're simply the best.. better than all the rest ! "

They made me "Yogi bear" on my late! 🐻It made my day!❤️But I also want to mention fast service on till and in sitting area. I ordered coffee to drink in while place were packed and I was worried I won't be able to find place. But at the moment when table got free it was cleaned and I was seated. Even at that busy time I felt welcome and looked after. Thank you guys for good service ❤️

Very clean and well managed with friendly service. Inside the shopping centre but not claustrophobic

I like this Caffe here is very good service, kind staff and delicious coffee. Also here is very clean as for me it's very important.

would like to leave my review, wonderful atmosphere. Very clean, good service. The Ukrainian girl who served us was very friendly and smiling

lucy makes the best mocha, always has a big smile and is happy to comply with any requests, lovely big cafe and great hardworking staff

I love the atmosphere of muffin break! It’s a beautiful atmosphere and is always so clean. Alana makes the best milkshakes and everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

Lucy makes the best frothy coffee at Muffin Break, Banbury coffee

Lovely flat white from the young girl with the nose piercings , friendly service with a smile, big cafe and very friendly staff

I just had the best Latte I've ever drank in here today it was amazing also vegan sausage rolls are excellent quality. Milk shakes well made very good taste. Will be back.

The salmon used in the bagel is Aldi/Asda off cuts/trimmings no actual slices and salmon was dark grey in some bits!!! The cream cheese was very thinly spread and tasteless definitely no name brand and the bagel DAYS OLD!! Another cafe cutting corners and charging premium prices!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID

Items missing from delivery no one will answer the phone or comment on the app had an email after going to headquarters from the manager. Sent through photos of receipt but no communication from anyone. If you are willing to pay money and are just happy to give it away with no food. Order from this shop

Fresh and tasty muffins but some could do with a filling, e.g. the raspberry muffin could have a raspberry filling. Making these changes would likely grant a 5 star, but currently the muffins are overpriced. The coffee is alright…Please play some background music so I don’t have to listen to the coffee machine going constantly. The staff are friendly although chaotic behind the counter.

Reasonably priced. Friendly service. Only stopped for a coffee although tempted with their selection of snacks. The muffins looked gorgeous. Clean and tidy. Comfortable seating, with okay decor. Nice atmosphere generated by the staff too.

After having lunch and looking around a bit more we fancied something sweet to eat and drink and chose Muffin Break, Hot chocolate was nice, and the mar bar muffin was lush.

Delicious baked cheesecake and a lovely cup of tea , fast and friendly service , nice clean cafe , extremely busy on a midweek afternoon.

This café continues to serve outstanding drinks, snacks and treats. The staff, led by the incomparable Lenka, are highly professional and eternally cheerful and friendly. There is no café in town to beat it.

Quality okay and service very good, but surprised at food prices. £5.10 for a breakfast bagel is a little steep, even in the current climate. Coffee was a little grainy. 10 covers when we went in and no one was eating any food at all, just drinks from what we could see.

The food was very good and the coffee was great staff were helpful and friendly

Banana milkshakes with cream are very much enjoyable but service is quite slow if you order multiple things takes longer than it really should.

Having had weeks of horrific experiences with some local estate agents while dealing with some propery buisness, we finally concluded our business and ended up using this place regularly and almost weekly for our lunches - excellent staff and excellent quality, we leave Banbury happy but sad to leave this little gem of a place.

Ordered delivery, food was hot and delicious, coffee also hot and not spilled, really enjoyed this meal, I would very highly recommend Muffin Break.

Cheese sconne and smoothies are the absolute best here. For a quick snack for lunch or a break in shopping, I highly recommend.

Very pleasant, good choice of sandwiches and cakes.

Always have lovely service here.

Best coffee ☕️ friendly staff . My favourite coffee place ☺️

Great place to visit if you enjoy toasted sandwiches, croissants, good selection of delicious cakes, fudge brownie, chocolate muffins, baked cheesecake s etc. Additionally, various selections of beverages. Staff warm and very welcoming. I believe this place is worth a visit, if your local, or just passing through.

It was good, nice and cosy, good place to catch up with friends

Good cakes, staff friendly and welcoming

Great quality coffee, super fast and friendly service. Absolutely loved the duffins, amazing! was so good we came back a few days later!

Staff are very friendly, happy to cater for all needs

We had a delicious lunch and muffin here and thought the coffee was fantastic quality! Staff are friendly and very fast- no waiting around at all. Clean and tidy throughout. Enjoyed it so much that we came back a few days later and had a great experience again!

First time here, very impressed. Lovely iced coffees and love the duffins!! Service was really good, friendly and efficient. Warm the cakes and pastries through for you so that the chocolate or filling melts and oozes out, yummy.

A lovely place with pretty good hot choc and delicious muffins and scones ( cheese scone my favourite ). Excellent workers ( nice, kind and helpful ). Love to go there.

Good place to have a snack with a coffee

Great place to eat, lovely coffee and friendly staff. What's not to like

Lovely pot of tea & birthday muffin. Nice staff

Great Muffins and coffee plus good service.

The young lads in there were really speedy and helpful! They delivered some to our table and recognised that i had a free coffee on the app and even asked of i wanted to use it to get one of ours for free! Everything was fresh,hot and the cafe was very clean and speedy/kind customer service! I cannot wait to come back soon!

Lovely staff and great service.

Very friendly staff and best coffee in town

Great coffee, friendly staff. Good experience, would recommend.

Discovered this gem recently. Their coffee is amazing and staff are very friendly.

Great place, friendly staff great coffee

Pleasant visit excellent coffee

Allergen sufferers beware Had purchased a muffin which I was told was gluten free. I advised a member of my party was coeliac. Unfortunately this member had adverse reactions a few hours later, in line with symptoms of the illness.

I have been visiting muffin break banbury for a long time now and every visit exceeds my expectations. I am always left feeling extremely satisfied and happy with the service that I receive. Thank you.

Ordered a delivery, not only there missing items but the packaging was orrendous, and on top of that way too overpriced. Not recommend

Nice place to have a coffee plus the lovely muffins, clean, good service which is table service, well set out, one down side the background music a little to loud, which we feel we had to raise our voice a brother than that 5star

Reasonably priced coffee. Rewards scheme. Friendly service with a smile.

Always lovely atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff

Lovely friendly welcome, clean and Covid safe , the coffees were lovely and the cakes delicious, don’t know why I’ve never been in before? I certainly will be returning as soon as I can.

Have always had exceptional service here and the food and coffee is amazing! Highly recommend!

Nice cafe. Great vegan choices. Had a lovely vegan muffin. Lovely staff

Its a nice friendly coffeehouse

Nice place for a spot of lunch, excellent coffee and friendly staff.

Good service and reasonable prices as always

Lovely freshly made Muffins, coffee made how you like it.

Good choice of snacks etc - staff always very pleasant

Great Muffins and the best sausage rolls

Well spaced out for social distancing. Staff always friendly.

Pleasant experience with no fuss and clean tables. Will go back next time.

Food is lovely with products on offer helping us make healthy choices. Prices are not cheap but worth a bit extra for quality and choice. Staff are friendly and need to work quick to serve efficiently which they do with a smile. The are lots of tables although being popular are often quite full. Shame there are no customer toilets. I realise there are toilets in marks and spencer ( soon to be closed) but I feel all food eateries should have there own and should not use other businesses it’s not very fair. I also feel we should having hand washing facilities before eating. There are new toilets in castle quay but they are a distance away which is unhelpful if there is a personal need to be quick or maybe you have children etc.

Fast efficient service.clean and tidy throughout. Coffee was nice and hot and tasty. Great choice of fresh muffins also

The place is alright the food is fine but the service is dreadful they are in a rush and when I was ordering they said I'll come back to you and went to another person by the time I took my order it had taken them 10 minutes to take our order when there wasn't much of a que. I had got my food but the presentation was appalling my sandwich was all over the place, mozzarella out of the sandwich, basil had looked as if it was chucked in there and I found it it had slipped because they used tongs.I suggest that they should use their hands but use gloves or even put it on a tray and gently let it slide on the plate. I am so and disappointed in that place!

I enjoy visiting the Muffin Break in Banbury because Lenka & the team do everything right. Sounds simple but it`s not. In my experience the staff are always friendly & polite. The drinks & food are of a very high quality, which you can enjoy in a very warm atmosphere. There is always a hubbub of conversation going on between customers & a real sense of belonging even if you are visiting alone. All in all a very welcoming place to visit.

A lovely place to go and eat Muffins and drink coffee and it's not too pricey. 1 Tea 1 Coffee and 2 Muffins under a £10 very good. And the staff are very helpful and polite. I will be back soon thanks Barry 😊👍 I was a bit disappointed that there was no customers tiolets in the Muffin Break.😞😥

Lovely coffee, very consistent. One fee coffee for every five. Great "family" atmosphere with lots of regular customers and very cheerful, friendly staff. Love it.

Good coffee and great selection of savoury and sweet treats!

Super birthday tea for our daughter Belle!!

Nice coffee, good service. I really liked the pastries and the muffin as well. The cafe looks and feels like the big chains. Not sure if intentional or not

Plenty of seating and a nice friendly atmosphere makes this coffee shop a good break from the shopping! There are plenty of cakes to choose from and when you get to the bottom of your cup you find a smiley face looking back at you!! ☺️

There always seems to be a table and the tables always seem to be clean. The tea is a good flavour. The sausage rolls were particularly nice as they had extra spices in the pastry and the meat tasted good not bland or over peppery. My only complaint was the two members of staff chatting away loudly in Polish? behind the counter while serving me. This makes me feel uneasy that they may be discussing something they should not as they both spoke good English when they spoke to me.

Absolutely loved the mocha and the chocolate cookie!! We tried for the first time a Duffin mix of croissant and nutella shaped as a muffin and it was fabulous! We ll be back 😍

Coffees are nice, muffins and cakes are lovely. Hot savoury food is also nice, the obligatory side salad they put on everything requires much improvement. Service in here is always friendly however incredibly slow, system behind counter just doesn't work. Tables also don't get cleaned properly or readily. This place has so much potential if a little more attention was made.

The staff are very rude and the service is very slow. i heard good things about muffin break and was left massively dissapointed.

Lovely cafe. Always go in when I'm in Banbury. Coffee is excellent.

Love the staff here & they make a fab mocha!

Really nice place very friendly staff very clean and tidy staff always cleaning away the table's, and very well priced and nice food and coffee

Very good. Service quick and quality food.

Friendly helpful staff, great range of delicious drinks, cakes and food, I recommend a warm cheese scone and the coffee is good. When you finished your hot drink there is a happy surprise in the bottom of the cup 😊 Only downside is towards the back of the shop it feels a bit dark.

Closed down now. Friendly staff

A nice cafe and staff, shame the internet is a problem always, should be provided

Visited with my boyfriend and we both had a latte and a bacon egg and cheese bagel.Delicious ! Thank you to the utterly brilliant young lady who served us and made us smile,what a credit to your company ( sorry ,not sure we remembered your name correctly..Maggie? )Will recommend to friends and family.

Good coffee and baked food, really appreciated the fast friendly service. No complaints.
