Muffin Break

Had a coffee and muffin there earlier today with my wife and son. Whereas the food was all pretty good and the coffee was very good I wasn’t very keen on the system for ordering and collecting the food.
It was busy there and I appreciate that they were doing their best to get the food out as quickly as possible but the cheese in the toastie hadn’t even started to melt. As they compiled our order it was left on top of the counter where all the people behind us in the queue were making their selections and leaning over the trays to pay. It just wasn’t very hygienic. Coffee (Espresso) was great though and the cup they served it in had been pre-​warmed which always helps.
Will not go back there for food though.

This type of eatery is a pleasant change from the standard, Pret a Manger (which happens to be directly opposite this delightful one) or… wait for it, Greggs, where you indeed know what’s on the menu.
In a previous lifetime for me, I would have indulged in the enormous and wonderful muffins. Huge and fresh like you get in the US, with a variety of inspirational choices on display, so your wicked side could be tempted from here and to hell and back — depending on your definition of hell! In fact, all the devilish cakes look mouth-​wateringly divine!
The savoury treats are just as inviting — a tad bit expensive, but they’re fresh and different. A variety of wraps (a little too much lettuce to help bulk them out somewhat so you feel a little cheated) and delightful pies and savoury slices from a past long gone era that work wonders, if like me, you suffer from hypoglycaemia. There’s the wonderful Greek cheese pie — which would have gone down a treat — but instead I opted for the bacon and egg pie, that you don’t see any more but is packed full of egg and for me, just hit the spot, even if I did have to discard the pastry — I know, I know, it’s the best part, but sadly for me, it can’t be on the menu.
Located in the shopping centre with a number of other trendy food outlets — again, US style — but there always seems to be plenty of room to manœuvre, enjoy and indulge even if it is a busy bank holiday!

Lovely choice of different foods whether you want a sandwhich type or sweet type of food. Not the cheapest or most expensive and there were plenty of places to sit. The service at the counter was fine. A convenient location in the shopping centre when you want a quick break from shopping and a refreshment, would go back again

This bakery come café, is a great little place to go when the strains of shopping in the St Davids 2 complex are becoming all too much. In truth, this place exceeds the likes of Costa Coffee by someway, with a far more authentic and fresh tasting service provided. First of all, the coffee served is of as high a quality as you’d expect from a busy café situated in a huge shopping centre. Its genuinely nice coffee is a refreshing change to some of the hot beverages served in similarly located establishments.
However, Muffin Break’s trump card lies with the great selection of fresh savoury and sweet snacks. Their fresh tasting muffins are the best things going. The prices are very reasonable, and i’d definitely choose this as my port of call when the tedious shopping needs to be put on hold.

In the ground floor food court of the new Saint David’s 2 complex there’s a little place to get yourself a muffin. The cakes and other baked goodness are of a good quality and prepared freshly. They serve coffees and teas, too.
The setting of the place isn’t exactly relaxing, however. They’ve spread their seating area across one of the walls around this busy entrance to the shopping centre, so if it’s a busy day of shoppers, then it’ll be a busy place to grab a coffee and a muffin.
Also, their speciality really is the cakes ‘n’ things, so their coffee’s OK, but their tea is straight from a machine and somewhere in vicinity of yuck. I’m no tea connoisseur, but if you’re looking for a sit down with a tea then Muffin Break isn’t really your best option. If you want to grab a slice of cake to go then it’s a good call.

Muffin Break is basically a bakery-​café where they prepare a range of savoury and sweet products such as pies, quiches, sandwiches, flans, muffins and cakes. The individual quiches are delicious, with fillings such as roasted vegetables or chicken & asparagus. The décor is fairly plain but it’s the baking smells that will draw you in.
If you have a sweet tooth, there’s obviously a whole array of muffins on offer, with the selection changing each day. They have classics such as blueberry and chocolate chip, plus a high fibre muffin, which you can wolf down while pretending you’re doing your body a favour. They also have low fat and gluten-​free options. Oh, and if you buy five, you get the sixth free. Personally, I’d prefer some of the other cakes on offer, such as their moist carrot cake or the incredibly rich mud cake.
Apparently, they do decent coffees here as well — but I’d rather just grab take away because there are more pleasant cafes around if you want to sit down for a longer break…

I had to make a very important decision at Muffin Break recently. Nothing life changing, but God knows it needed a cup of tea whilst I mulled over my thoughts.
Located in an area that if you did a knee slide you’d easily pass 5 cafes by the time you stopped (If you were wearing long trousers. You’d stop very quickly if you were silly enough to try this with shorts…)
However besides the normal price of tea etc as anywhere round here, what did attract me to it, was the sweets on offer. What I’m particularly talking about is there rocky road cake. Dark chocolate with marshmallows sat in and around it. Think the pair came to just under £5 and which isn’t a lot when you’ve been propelled to heaven thanks to such a Godly desert.
