We dropped into Muffin Break on Thursday 29th August 2024 at around 9:30am on our way through to Westmead Hospital from Newcastle to have some morning tea,
My mum and sister gluten free Apple & Berry Muffin and I got a chocolate chip muffin heated up they were quite yummy and fresh ,
Mum was meant to have a Dairy Farmers Skim Milk Cappuccino coffee it was nice and hot but the negative part was it looks as though the girl making that coffee has gone and used the Dairy Farmers full cream milk despite her being told by both Mum and the other staff member she is not to use the full cream milk and has to use the skim milk as Mum can and has ended up in the John Hunter Hospital here in Newcastle due to life threatening allergies to the full cream milk and when we got to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead she was there probably around 30 minutes when she got extremely sick and was in and out of the public toilets for half of our visit and nearly had to get off the train several times for the bathroom,
I advise that the store owners and managers stop your staff from using the same jugs for both types of milk as that is dangerous move for your customers health and safety and train your staff members in properly understanding the process of allergies and intolerances .
🙂 Thank you Aimee

Stopped here for brunch. Bacon & eggs (sunny side up) with toast & fresh orange juice for me, bacon & eggs (over easy) with gluten free toast & fresh apple juice for my partner. Staff are very friendly, & service quite quick. It was quite busy which is one of the reasons we chose to eat there. We felt if it was that popular, it must be good. My eggs were almost exactly how I like them, the only downside was the whites were still a bit runny in one place. The eggs appear to be cooked together in small frypan, as the 2 yolks were in a circular patch of white. 2 slices of bacon, cooked to just crispy around the edges. 1 slice of toast & one of those little packets of butter. The orange juice was naturally sweet (must have been good oranges) & served with ice so it was nice & refreshing. It also came with a paper straw, so best not to use it too vigorously as a stirrer. My partner's eggs were a bit mixed. One yolk was still a little runny right in the centre, whilst the other was cooked through completely. 1 slice of gluten free toast which was quite nice & not cake-like as some gluten free breads tend to be. Bacon cooked much the same as mine. The apple juice was a nice hue of green & my partner said it was just the right sweetness. She fell victim to over vigorous stirring of the juice & her straw ended up splitting. Total price for food & drinks $46.00. A nice brunch & we would eat there again.
The gluten free prawn/chives dumplings were amazing and the service was great! I witnessed the beautiful waitress accept less payment from an elderly man who couldn’t afford to pay the full price.
