Loved it, absolutely too good coffee, muffin, shakes, smoothies 😋 and customer service really happy with it.

Been here with my Mum several times.* Came in for lunch with family today; myself, I ordered a Tuna and Cucumber Sandwich with a Mocha.
Pros: The food (especially the muffins, which can be warmed up on request) is generally very lovely.
Additionally, when me and my Mum used to come here often (more on that in a bit), the friendly male barista knew us so well that he would (without fail) remember what both me and Mum would usually order each time we stepped in, and would start preparing said order once we both nodded "Yep, the usual please", that being toasted teacake and tea for Mum, and vanilla milkshake and banana muffin (warmed up of course) for myself.
*That having said, my usual visits here with mum were from some years back, and we don't come here often nowadays. Why is that?
Cons: Well, we eventually stopped coming here often as soon as Mum realised what was happening to her 'toasted' teacake, which looks like it gets flattened under a waffle iron now, so you know, flat and rather hard. A silly con perhaps, but when Mum ordered herself a croissant today, that too suffered the same poor fate as the toasted teacake. At least the rest of our order turned out alright.
Another con is the children's play area. Looks worn down, and I've never really seen anyone play there, so it could do with a refurbishment.
But toasted teacake/croissant aside, food is still great, and once again shout out to the wonderful male barista (forgot name sadly); even after our period of absence from Muffin Break, he still recognised us today with a smile 😃
Extremely friendly and helpful staff, great location and tasty snacks and drinks. The interior seating is comfortable and it wasn’t too busy at all. Much better than other coffee shops in the area.
Best coffee, friendly staff ☕️💕
Just stopped by for a bite before getting a bus to Southend airport. Great options for muffins, all of which looked great. I ordered a raspberry and apple muffin and a latte. The muffin was so fruity and delicious. The latte was absolutely amazing too, kudos to the barista.
The staff are really nice and friendly. Coffee like the one I got here makes me wish this shop was on my morning commute.

I go once a week for a regular coffee with my mum. I actually switched to Muffin Break from Costa because they open on time every day, always have good availability on stock and the friendly girls remember our usual order which makes the whole process so much easier. Probably won't go back to Costa as I much prefer the service I get in Muffin Break. Thoroughly recommended.
Great food for a snack, nice coffee, and friendly staff. Get the app for free drinks.
Very tasty. Like an upmarket Greggs but with the benefit that the hot food is actually hot. However, they lose points for heating everything up in the microwave, which is great if you like soggy paninis.
Staff can be hit or miss but better than any of the chain coffee places in the high street.
I've been to Muffin Break many times. It is easily one my favourite places on Southend High Street to sit down and have a hot drink and a quick bite to eat.
Been drinking my favourite coffee here nearly every Sunday for about 2 years. Very friendly staff
Delicious 😋 Love the food here and the staff are always lovely
Love this place. Have been visiting with kids sin e they were babies. The coffees are good, muffins are delicious and the staff move heaven and earth to help you out and make you feel comfortable. They often tell us to sit down if we have kids or pushchairs and bring drinks over and check we are ok regularly. Puts the chain coffee shops to shame.
Nice staff food coffee great muffins😁
Great selection of freshly prepared food. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Much better than the other well known High St chains. Best coffee shop in Southend.
