Rosemary and I opened a food bank many years ago, The owner of the franchise of Muffin Break (Hamid)/The manager Nav gave us muffins for the food bank which we still pick every Monday. Thankyou to Hamid/Nav/Ester all the team at Muffin Break. We go personally 5 times a week for a drink and something to eat. Ester helps us a lot and is a credit to muffin Break as she treats everybody will the same level of care/respect.

They have some great cakes. Plently of seating and really helpful staff. Located right next to the car park entry/exit. By the way you can see a ghost on the tea cup ...

Stopped in while my partner had an appointment elsewhere. It so quiet inside that it takes away all the hustle and bustle out from the shopping centre even in half term. The cakes are incredible especially the size for the value. I will be going again.

Best coffee place in the town centre. There aren't many Muffin Breaks around but they're a welcome change to the generic, same old Costa and Starbucks you find everywhere. Plenty of seating, nice relaxed atmosphere and the choice of food is pretty amazing and reasonably priced, especially the brie and bacon panini.

Nav and his staff have always looked after us very well. They are always very polite. It is very clean and tidy. We are always happy to come hear ,which we have been doing for many years and would recommend it.

I have been here with my friend and my family.... One of the must visit places in Ashford town centre. I enjoyed the hot chocolate and tea and the muffins over there.

Stopped here on my way to work for a hot chocolate and ordered The Purple One Hot Chocolate. The regular size was huge and it was delicious! The staff are friendly. It is a bit loud in there when sitting down but that’s because it’s quite a big cafe and lots of people in there which I consider a good thing and contributed to a warm atmosphere. I have been here before when it’s been quieter which makes it a good place to have a cuppa and read a book.
