Muffin Break is set to open a new café in Croydon on Friday 6th November, bringing its much-loved fresh bakery café concept to one of the town centre’s busiest retail locations on Croydon High Street, beside Marks and Spencer.

The opening represents a £300,000 investment and will create up to 15 new jobs locally, with recruitment currently underway through Indeed.

Part of the Foodco UK Group, Muffin Break has been serving customers across the UK for more than 25 years and is known for baking fresh products on site throughout the day. The new Croydon café will offer a wide menu of handcrafted muffins, cakes and savouries, alongside made-to-order brunch dishes, freshly prepared light lunch options and premium coffee made with 100% Arabica beans.

Designed as a warm, contemporary space, the café will cater for local shoppers, commuters, workers and visitors looking for everything from a quick morning coffee to a relaxed catch-up or lunch in the town centre.

Michael Johnson, Head of Franchise Development at Foodco UK, said:

“Croydon is a strong location for Muffin Break, with high footfall, a vibrant town centre and a broad mix of shoppers, workers and commuters. This new opening reflects our continued investment in well-positioned UK locations, while creating local employment and giving customers a fresh, high-quality bakery café experience. We look forward to opening our doors in November and becoming part of the Croydon community.”
