Muffin Break Chester in Cheshire West and Chester

Came for a coffee and a muffin. It's small but chatty staff and great food.

Lovely little coffee shop, small amount to offer on the brunch menu means food doesn't take to long and it tastes really good. Staff were polite and welcoming, sweet treats are also really good! Nice calm and relaxed atmosphere, this is my 2nd visit and will definitely visit again 😊

Yorkshire pud rolls. Lovely although despite being double cooked in the oven then microwaved, was cold inside and hotter than hell outside. Still tasty though.

Love this cafe, lots of different delicious food to pick from. 10/10 on food and drinks.

short stop for velvet cake and a cup of tea. friendly staff reasonable prices really good service. spotlessly clean.

Staff are friendly and efficient. Hot chocolate was nice and the cakes are great. Would definitely come here again.

Food was amazing! In fact I recommend the lotus Biscoff Cheesecake. The food was amazing, my partner had a chocolate muffin and she loved it too.

Nice little coffee shop, some items quite expensive but yummy. Good range/choice available. Seating and toilets.

Seemed a good variety to choose from. We had drinks and cakes which were delicious. A popular place. Not too crowded.

Food was lovely, lovely coffee and staff friendly 😊

A really good popular place with a good selection of sandwiches and pastries Recommended

Never been here before until now. Lovely food, great atmosphere and great service. Will definitely visit again.

Very poor sandwich filling - next to nothing in them 😕

Nice muffins and great coffee with plenty of seating.

Really friendly staff and clean tables cakes and paninis lovely too often go just for a coffee outside to watch the interesting people go by

Loved it. Clean place to eat. &friendly efficient staff lovely food would highly recommend

Very affordable prices, fast service, and delicious food. Chicken & ham tortilla stack Pulled pork apple Yorkshire ( delicious 😋) Egg mayo sandwich English Breakfast tea Coca cola Total £20.85

A very good bakery nice for eating in or out.

They had gluten free cake and the tea and coffee were fine

Food quite bland. The tuna toasty I had was dry, only had smattering of tuna and nothing else, such as onion or peppers. Edges of bread really dry. It's not cheap either

We arrived at three in the afternoon and they served us a quickie but the food was half cold and they started cleaning with bleach next to us, with two and a half hours left before closing. we feel uncomfortable. We will not return.

Very dirty piace tables and floor with crumbs from previous customers. Manager(woman with long dark hair)very rude and also above all poor food. Not recommended After your comment: I wrote what happened to me today in your shop. The lady with long dark hair was at till and gave ordered to the the staff so I thought she was a manager. I hope the other "Muffin Break" are not your level, because it would be very sad.

Nice coffee shop, reasonably priced , very courteous and helpful staff. Plenty of seating and a good disability toilet with room for wheel chair movement

Go there often. Pleasant atmosphere, food and service always good

Nice service with friendly staff but the food is very average. The latte was nice and tea was good quality.

Visited 11 December. Ordered flat white and cappucino, we weren't asked what size cup we would prefer, it was assumed we wanted regular size, Unfortunately my wife and found the coffees too milky and a a weak coffee taste. We did bring this to the attention of the serving staff who made us another. Also like to add a in a larger cup. Thank you. Unfortunately, the coffee here isn't to my taste....

Well established cafe located inside the Grosvenor shopping centre. Very strong coffee! When I visited, it was quite busy, but the staff were working very fast, so my order arrived in good time. I had an Americano with a cinnamon swirl, just a quick snack, and sat on one of the high tables with stools, for those who are just popping in for a quick drink. There are plenty of tables and chairs for groups, including some comfy chairs, if you want to get settled in. But I would say this cafe is best for anyone seeking respite from the busy shopping precinct, rather than as a place to watch the world go by. Plenty of options for lunch - a good selection of baguette sandwiches - plus of course the muffins!

I found this Muffin break branch not totally up to some branch’s we have visited. And on our second visit slightly unprofessional 🥴 Brushing floors around our feet and staking chairs on tables beside us after only just receiving our table order in my humble opinion is definitely not the way to be with your customers.

Been a fan of Muffin Break since I discovered it when I lived in Notts and was over the moon when they opened it here in Chester's Grosvenor. Yummy muffins, delicious milkshakes and very filling paninis and hot sandwiches. The Xmas hot chocolates are so tasty. They also have dairy free options which my son will appreciate when he's a bit older and weaned. High chairs and baby changing facilities are available. This was my go to stop whenever I went to Chester with a young baby and needed a place to breastfeed. The staff is very nice and helpful and always made me feel welcome.

We had two of their Christmas "The Purple One Hot Chocolates" today and they were truly horrid. So much sugar and way too much caramel that made them extremely sickly. We could spoon the sugar from the bottom of the cup. Even after they made me a fresh one, it was still undrinkable and full of sugar. Such a shame as their advertisements for them looked so nice.

FANTASTIC! Super friendly staff, scrumptious cakes and muffins. Chai latte amazing. Atmosphere welcoming. Top marks.

The shop was clean and there was plenty of staff serving they seemed efficient using table numbers to fetch the orders . The cake i had was lovely , bannoffee cheesecake , i had a large glass of milk with my cake . It was reasonabily priced to say it was Chester centre

Too Good To Go had a bad experience

First time visiting Chester and this place looked great for lunch so we decided to go here for panini. Great tuna melt toastie and my husband had chicken panini which he liked a lot. The hot chocolate is the best I have ever had and staff were so lovely and kind.

Only had a coffee. But Muffin Break Is very clean. The food looks Excellent. And staff are very friendly and helpful. Will certainly go again. And will recommend to my Friends.

I visited the cafě this evening with my sister in law, the cafe was closing & we got there a little late. The manager there (Zunaira) was utterly sweet & generous. We were gifted Duffins by her as we walked out so we weren't leaving with an empty stomach. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of these gorgeous duffins with a hot cuppa. The staff was also very polite, friendly & welcoming. A heartfelt thanks to Zunaira for such hospitality & kindness.

Nice coffee but staff could smile now and again, I know it was Sunday morning but make an effort!!

Expensive for what it is and staff are bloody miserable won't go again

Here now and it’s closing 🤔 but says it’s closing at 5.30. They need to change time then on this 🙄

Lovely food. Esp enjoyed the fruit smoothies 😋

Food was delicious. However staff completely got my order wrong when making it ??!! I felt awful trying to correct her before she put it in the microwave. She wasn't very pleased with me .

Lovely food there today .fresh . Will be going back .

Lovely place to have a drink of tea, coffee etc. Wonderful cakes!!! Staff were lovely. Its not the first time I've been there ...

Would absolutely go again. the sweet treats are large and are worth the price. it's very affordable.

Lovely little coffee shop & bakery.

It's not bad, but can be hit or miss.

Just became a new regular. Great staff, cakes and cookies are amazing and coffee is great too

A nice place with a good selection of sandwiches and cakes. Reasonably priced. An easy recommendation

Went there at 9.30am on Thursday 6th July. Stood at the counter for 10 minutes waiting to be served. There were 2 people working and they didn't even say they would take my order soon. Poor service, so walked away. Food looked OK though, if not overpriced.

Lovely hot chocolate, comfortable seats .

Nice quiet cafe when I went. We had a strawberry milkshake and biscoffee milkshake with a biscoffe cheesecake Friendly staff Clean and tidy.

Highly recommend that place, the muffins are amazing.

Cafe was near closing time when i visited, offered only takeaway, which i was happy to do. Waited approx. 5 mins for ice latte. Service very welcoming.

Stopped for a a cup of tea and a cake. Lovely little cafe with a wide selection on offer.

Muffins were very heavy, waited ages for the two milkshakes we ordered. Wasn’t impressed with their slowness and wasn’t even busy!

Disappointed in coffee, service and cleanliness of cafe. Not busy but lots of tables left uncleared. Won't be returning.

Very nice coffee with lots of lovely food 😋

No muffins avaliable, no smoothie ingredients and their luxury milkshakes were no different to a regular tasting one.

Very pleasant staff and lovely food.

Food had not been cooked enough. Scones were doughy inside. Blueberry muffins were the same. For the price you would expect better

Lovely coffee, Ham and cheese panini was good

this is my uncle's cat muffin he's a cool dude i just thought i'd say this so uh bye i guess

Lovely atmosphere, salted caramel latte was amazing .

Rude lady on the till. If she doesn't want a job why not let somebody who'll appreciate it have it?

Very nice food, and great coffee tortilla slice was excellent

Not only is the atmosphere very warm and friendly, but the food and drinks are wonderfully made. The customer service here is fantastic and they always make sure you are satisfied with your experience.

Drinks were lovely, I had a pash n shoot smoothie which is lovely and refreshing, however staff would be better if they smiled a little and were more welcoming.

Lovely customer service, lovely drinks. We love the Shrewsbury milkshakes. Lovely food as well

This is a lovely coffee shop let down by charging 60p for plant milk, I chose not to have a coffee because of this but my wife had one and she enjoyed it, we had a Vegan cherry and almond muffin that was nice although not as sweet as I'd of expected and was let down with it also being gluten free although that may be a positive for some.

First time there yesterday. Ordered tea and toasted cheese and red onion. 30 mins wait then food was delivered. No teaspoon fo tea. No knife to cut the toast which looked like had just been thrown onto the plate. The cheese was horrible, tasted like it was processed and rubbery. Cost £8.75. The staff were not at all pleasant. An experience never to be repeated.

Good coffee, good food but poor service, mixed up or misunderstood orders. Plus, one of the staff members was too busy listening to music on bluetooth headphones and drinking her own coffee before serving the customers.

A great experience had by myself this morning. After a brisk frosty winters walk across the wall I decided to find respite in the Shopping mall and grab a coffee and cake at Muffin Break. I was the first customer in the business and the level of service was second to none! Food was delicious! Great place. Especially at the price point.

Great staff very friendly spotlessly clean great coffee and food

Lovely little cafe , best tortilla stack i have ever had!! But staff were miserable

Went here for a change, was nice but customer service needs improving and signs. Ordered food, was given 2 knives but ha to ask for a fork.

Always great service snd selection of food and drink. Great staff, very polite and curteous.

We go there regularly and have always had excellent food and service but this last visit will be our last lovely coffee but cheese and ham toasties never again

Firstly the food is great, a good range including veggie choices and it's all made there, even the breads. The service was well meaning and friendly but chaotic and slow. It's not helped by the layout not allowing for a flow of customers so people were walking off the back of the queue as fast as they were served at the front. I'm not sure what the answer is but maybe make it all table service or just a bit better organised. I must finish by reminding you the food was lovely, maybe best tried when quiet.

Love my Chai latte and muffin treat when i call. Good to see GF goodies on offer too.

Spontaneous day out in Chester just wanted a light bite. Don’t give this low rating lightly. Person in charge needs to start paying attention to detail. E.g presentation of cutlery. Only saving grace was that the coffee was very good, even if took a while to be made.

I really like the coffee here but the staff are so unfriendly it really puts me off going. They never seem to smile or interact with customers, just talk amongst themselves.

Enjoyed our coffees also GF muffins. Good choice.

Had a shopping break here...fits the bill nicely

Staff were amazing and the owner was very polite i would reccomend going there atleast once in your life !

Good service ample seating loved their Banana cake.

The place and food was great and the gentleman serving very helpful. The lady serving seemed very unhappy and handed us our food on plates that where hot out of the microwave.

It's a good place to have a coffe

The muffins were very good and so was my Americano. But if you were expecting a friendly smile or chats this is not the place.

Server wasn't friendly at all, which was a pity as the food was excellent.

Great muffins and coffee but the staff on this visit seemed a little lazy with clearing the tables.

Very rude and judgemental staff, getting served feels like a wild west standoff. Food is mediocre, I got a salmon and cream cheese bagel and the bagel was harder than Madeline's kidnapper! In fact it was so hard I imagine the guy I gave it to took it home and sat on it!

wouldnt go again really disappointed staff rolled her eyes when i asked for decaf. After this is took 10 minutes to make 2 iced coffees and a smoothie. Both the coffees were watery and didnt have caramel in even though we asked and payed for it. the overpriced smoothie wasnt worth it. Dirty tables and “all the cutlery were in the wash”. None of the food was fresh all came straight out the microwave

Hot chocolate was lovely but chocolate chip cookie wasn't warmed and very hard

Terrible place ordered two panini's after 15 minutes I went up to the till to be told they are 40s away and another 15 minutes later still nothing. Asked for a refund as the two minute panini's were just left in microwave. Not the cleanest of places either. Avoid and use Costa around the corner

Great selection of food and drinks but really poor service. Ordered a tuna melt and the bloke handed me a salmon and cream cheese bagel and insisted that it was tuna and didn’t understand me when I told him it was salmon. Food was good though.

Disgusting experience. Whilst waiting in the que, two girls behind the counter were smirking and laughing at me. When I made my order, I was mocked and could see them giggling to each other. I paid for a drink which they didn’t give to me so I went back to get it and they were questioning if I’d paid and they knew full well I had. The staff need to sort their attitude out.

Toilets absolutely disgusting! No toilet roll disabled toilet stuff urine

Coffee and snack was really nice

Went for coffee here coffee was ok but table needed wiping

Lovely cake's great bagels coffee
