Muffin Break, an Australian-owned brand of onsite bakery cafés, is expanding its footprint in England, with the opening of its first store in Cheltenham.

Located on the High Street, the opening of the new café, has seen Muffin Break invest £280k in the fit-out of the Cheltenham store, creating 15 new jobs.

The Cheltenham based café will join Muffin Break’s 66 other locations across the UK.

Renowned for its freshly baked goods, coffee and lunch options, Muffin Break is committed to providing the highest quality food and coffee, prepared fresh, in-store every day.
