Tea time: Goodies at Muffin Break.
Muffin Break offers a delicious variety of baked goods
Since childhood I have loved eating cakes. I still
remember when I was a kid and got my report card my father used to treat
me to small cupcakes, and I loved finishing each one alone. Basically
they were muffins which were sold at Diamond Bakery in Old Delhi. Now
after years my search for really authentic muffins met success as I
dropped in at a store recently opened in M-Block Market of New Delhi’s
Greater Kailash II. It is called Muffin Break. Finally this well
established Australian brand has forayed into India with its first
flagship café. It’s a unique bakery café with an interesting range of
freshly baked products claimed to be prepared on site every day.
As
I was hungry I started with a sandwich and a cappuccino. The sandwich
was light and, since the Navratris are on, only vegetarian varieties
were on offer. The cappuccino was wonderful and had the aroma of finely
blended coffee beans. It was accompanied by in-house cookies, fresh and
delicious, with the perfect crispiness and sweetness. Size-wise, they
were among the biggest cookies I have come across in recent times.
Now
it was time to try out the muffins. Muffin Break serves over 200
varieties of muffins. I tried a couple of variants available on the day.
Double Chocó Chip is a treat for any chocolate lover, with granules of
chocolate. The banana muffin was tasty too, with subtle flavours of
banana. The good thing about these muffins was that they were not at all
dry, but perfectly moist to the core.
For health
freaks there is quite a variety too. There are the high-fibre low-fat
bran muffins or the gluten-free ones for diabetics. Almost every
conceivable flavour is to be found: coconut, lemon, banana, peach or
blueberry to name a few. The fresh quiches, croissants, scones, wraps
and cakes are also worth trying.
To down these baked goodies, try out some cool smoothies or thick shakes.
