Needing some energy for an impromptu shopping expedition, we were eagerly searching for a coffee, and here we find the near perfect brew. Catering to all coffee requirements, made well and served with a, smile, Muffin Break offer some of the best coffee in town. Also, try the cabinet food. Good for a quick bite or something more substantial. I grabbed a flat white and a raspberry and white chocolate muffin and these 2 complimented each other perfectly! A quick stop for some necessary sustenance.

Ever since my job shifted me from Nelson to Richmond for temporary, I struggled to find my new coffee place for breaks and mornings. I sampled everything the mall had to offer and local coffee shops. The only place that has truly stolen the show for me was Muffin Break. I can not stress enough how kind and inviting the staff are. How amazing the quality of service is. I am someone who personally struggles to communicate much in person, but can be more vocal over something like this review. Lovely food with great selections, tasty muffins and the best coffee in Richmond that I have had. The best staff you could ask for to run the place as well. I've been wanting to write a review for months, now I finally have and I highly recommend them for service alone. You gals are awesome!

Ordered two flat whites. Staff were very pleasant and professional. Service was quick and efficient. The seating area was clean, tidy and the atmosphere was nice with good lighting and there were lots of seats. The coffee was okay. A bit weak and to hot.
