Went to muffin break in Worthing

Went to muffin break in Worthing. The manager there was absolutely awful constantly giving abuse and shouting at the women members of staff there, where as the women members of staff were great it’s really sad to see such horrible management take down a good experience at this place, will not be coming back until this is resolved.

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!! Evil manager was horrible to staff and shouted at a girl working in Worthing. Appalling behaviour from manager!!! Will never be going back if that’s how they treat staff. They better sort their behaviour out if they want to keep this god awful abusive business running! Staff are working minimum wage and the girls are getting screamed at by power hungry man. They do not deserve it! The girl was lovely however cake was stale. My advice to staff would be to leave.

The food is always delicious 😋 Hull

The food is always delicious 😋 High standard, great quality
So much choice, the muffins, brownies, cakes, I even tried something a bit different was gorgeous. You will not be disappointed, the staff are lovely and go out of the way to look after us.

Awful!

Awful! Often walked past this cafe and should have done so today too! Friendly chap served us but the place stunk of stieff, so our jackets stunk of that greasy cafe smell when we left. There were eight tables around us with dirty dishes on them for the duration of our visit and there were fruit flies which stopped us eating our sandwich and had the distinct feeling things were not clean. Cappuccino was terrible and we didn’t eat our bland sandwich either. Will defo not be back!

On the positive side

On the positive side, the coffee is great. BUT, on the negative side I have lost several free rewards because "their scanner" didn't accept a Christmas special, or because I had problems downloading their app (although another customer was allowed to use a saving card). It may not sound like much, but pensioners do appreciate a 'freebie'. Muffin Break, do you want to lose older pensioners especially in Eastbourne?

profanity in the workplace

I recently visited this relatively new cafe in Newbury Parkway. I was appalled to hear profanity from a worker when I was ordering. This sort of language from an employee of a company should absolutely not be tolerated in the workplace. The prices for food and drinks in this cafe is outrageous for the bland, unhygienic food they sell. I would definitely not recommend going to this cafe.

Muffin Break

Muffin Break, Princess Quay, Hull...quite the experience if you like waiting staff who push through you on the table to slam food down and a non-veggie over priced veggie brunch with the badly cooked eggs, revolting hash browns and concrete paving slabs unbuttered toast. Diabolical. Shameful. A waste of your time and money when so many better places exist.

Colchester branch…Nahh

Went into the Colchester branch yesterday.
Bought a mud cake, coffee cake, two sets of tea and a veggie wrap.
The wrap was not in the least delicious. It was gooey and overdone on the outside and therefore very crispy.
However, the worst was the fact that my coffee cake was rancid and had spoiled.
It did not taste fresh but rotten and seemed to have been from a few days ago.
I complained to three members of staff.
A lady later came to me asking if I wanted it changed. Of course not, I don’t want another rancid one again.
She did admit it was made a day ago (maybe more than a day ago??) and then began to insinuate that I am lying by telling me it has not gone off, which is unacceptable!
We all know that rancid or spoiled food is harmful to one’s health.
Walking off angrily because you did not want to accept your fault is also rude and disrespectful.
You couldn’t even appreciate how calm I was or the fact that I didn’t demand a refund.
My money back would have been ideal as I obviously couldn’t consume that or the hard-shelled and gooey on the inside wrap.
Moreover, the washed teacups smelled of dried saliva therefore we had to ask for take away cups.
Nah… too much going on here that’s quite dissatisfying.
Not a place I would ever go again.!!!!

Belfast Forestside - rude!

Belfast Forestside - Bought a croissant to go. The fella server didn’t make eye contact, didn’t say thank you, IMMEDIATELY turned to greet the next customer AS he reached me my food to go bag.
Completely rude!
Disappointing service.

Now reading their reviews, ya wonder how these places still run…

Very poor breakfast

This is a prime example of what happens when you let the accountant loose on your breakfast. The bacon was heavily processed like you may get on an all inclusive and the sausage was tiny. All served lukewarm warm.

Cheese and onion toastie ( NOT)

Myself and my elderly mother visited the store today for a bite to eat, we ordered 2 cheese and onion toasties.
Firstly the waiter just passed them to us quite abruptly, they were not cut in
Half and no cutlery provided. The actual sandwich was disputing awful plastic square cheese and a onion relish (like Brandon Pickle) not actual onion, we both took one bite and left, absolutely rotten taste, the other visitors were quite shocked at our reaction also, we paid £10 for an extremely poorly made toastie that I would not give my dog…
Will never return , this place has definitely gone downhill!!!

Breakfast ordered for my family

Breakfast ordered for my family, food came at completely separate times. By the time my dad’s food arrived I had finished mine, which tasted stale, barely warm and unappealing to say the least. I’d never return for the breakfast by any means.
