🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 – A Hidden Gem with Something for Everyone! Absolutely loved this little café! One of the standout features is the huge range of options, seriously, there’s something for everyone. They even have separate gluten-free and plant-based menus, which made choosing so much easier and inclusive for all diets. Now, let’s talk food, the chipotle chat potatoes were an easy 10/10. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with just the right amount of smoky heat. Honestly couldn’t have been better. I’d go back just for those. I also tried the Ginger Ninja juice, fresh, zingy (not too zingy), and super refreshing. Exactly what you want in a juice: balanced, punchy, and not too sweet. Service was super quick, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had a relaxed, easygoing vibe. The location is convenient, and prices are more than fair for the quality and variety on offer. Highly recommend checking this place out whether you’re after a quick bite, a hearty plant-based meal, or just want some standout potatoes. Will definitely be back!

Gf fish and chips with housemade tartar sauce was amazing. Poke bowl wasn't celiac safe due to soy sauce, but staff were well informed and friendly.

Absolutely blown away by this breakfast! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the first bite to the last, everything on this plate was an explosion of flavour. Seriously SO flavourful! And the breaky burger? Don't even get me started – it was equally fantastic. While the gluten-free options were a little limited, the sheer deliciousness of what they did offer more than made up for it. You can tell they prioritize quality and taste above all else. The waiter as well (forgot his name, sorry!) was super hilarious and friendly…highlight of the visit!! I'm already planning my next visit!

I recently visited this cafe and found it to be a solid choice. The fresh juices are absolutely delicious, with a wide range of varieties and variations to choose from. Fresh food, fresh ingredients - all made with love. However, it's worth noting that the gluten-free options are somewhat limited. Despite this, everyone seems to speak very highly of Muddys Cafe, which speaks to its overall quality. I'd definitely recommend it!
