They serve the normal range of breakfast butties, tea, coffee etc,. in the mornings at a really reasonable price, and at lunches have a massive choice. They have the usual salads, wraps and sandwiches, but have also started dabbling in chinese dishes which is long overdue (nowhere else in the town centre does a Chinese lunch buffet as far as I am aware!). They deliver to your door if you work in the town cenre, you can pre-order, and they are always laughing and smiling - what more could you want? Oh and they are also of the attitude that they want to gear their business around what the customer wants so they welcome honest feedback and want suggestions of what they are missing on the menu. Quality is of utmost importance to Donna and I have known her throw whole cakes away that she has baked because she thinks they are not 'quite' to standard - even though they have seemed fine to me. All the dishes are prepared by hand by Donna or her small team. The only one little negative I guess is its quite small so you may be pushed to find a seat at busy times, especially outside as there are only a couple of tables. My recommendation ? - the wraps - they are delicious.

They've got the best Italian-style coffee I've had in Nottingham - and I started hanging out at coffee shops back in the 80s. What really sets this place apart? Vegetarian options, non-dairy options and gourmet everything, all at virtually the same price you'd pay for the bog-standard stuff. You can get a lovely, freshly prepared lunch for around £5 total.

A selection of different sized tables named after flowers - Poppy, Violet etc, were suitable for different sized parties. The menu was varied and very reasonably priced, from beans on toast to paninis, homemade cakes to breakfasts for the larger or smaller appetite. The breakfasts were cooked to order and looked extremely appetising, with a basket of toast. A good variety of drinks too, including a flavoursome Cappuccino and a very chocolatey Hot Chocolate! They also sold Ice Cream too, Lemon Meringue and Sticky Toffee amongst the flavours. The Flower Cafe also sells plants, offers a garden design service and has themed evenings like 'Pudding Night' - whose menu looked very tempting!

I decided to give Muffin Break one final chance after delivering one of the single-worst food items…read moreI'd ever ate at their Chester store, mainly down to previous good experiences a couple of years ago, so I hoped the branch here at intu Derby, opposite WHSmith would help restore my faith in a brand, I'm beginning to feel more confident in, but sadly it didn't restore confidence and virtually acted as the final nail in the coffin. Muffin Break is a small chain, operating on a franchise model in most parts and the store did have a feel to it, the staff member working seemed distracted but she did also seem friendly/helpful whenever I wanted to ask a question or make a purchase, so that was okay. The opening hours of the cafe is also puzzling as it closes at 5:30 pm which is much earlier than the rest of the mall, which sometimes stays open until 8 pm: it makes little sense. I chose the last gluten-free muffin of the day, the chocolate and strawberry muffin, it was pretty cheap at £2.40 which was even £0.10 cheaper than their Chester store however I wasn't too impressed, the chocolate chips had a strange taste too and I don't think it went well with the strawberries, while I did like the combination of white and milk chocolate as icing and the regular part of the muffin without the chocolate chips was okay, I wasn't too impressed overall. Better than the Chester store, but that wouldn't be hard. Perhaps with some improvements to ensure staff members don't become sidetracked and making sure every part of the muffin is of sufficient quality this place can become more than the second-best coffee shop in the shopping centre (There isn't that many either so second-best isn't entierly brilliant). 2*

My only complaint is that there muffin mix is about pricey but overall a great cafe. My personal favourite is Mars bar and is what I usually order but I would also recommend Oreo and chocolate chip flavours.

They have an excellent variety of drinks to choose from - everything from a simple cup of tea to a macchiato with whipped cream. They also have a wide variety of milkshakes for the kids (or the big kids!) and the prices aren't bad either, well below what you'd pay in one of the big coffee chains.
