Best Coffee Shop Guildford Students Actually Love: Muffin Break Okay so basically I've been going to loads of cafes around Guildford for ages now and I swear Muffin Break is the only coffee shop Guildford actually needs. Like seriously, I tried probably fifteen different places and this one just wins every single time. My friends think I'm obsessed but whatever. When you find something good you stick with it right? This coffee shop in Guildford has become where I spend half my life and I'm not even sorry about it. Coffee That Doesn't Suck Most places around here serve coffee that tastes like dirty water. Not even joking. But this coffee shop Guildford locals keep raving about actually knows what they're doing. Some guy called Marcus works there and he makes the best flat white I've ever had. Even my mum says their coffee beats the expensive place she goes to in London. The beans smell amazing when you walk in too. None of that burnt smell you get at those big chain places. Just the proper coffee smell that makes you want to stay forever. Food Worth Actually Eating Obviously the muffins are incredible because that's literally their thing. But I was shocked how good everything else is too. Their bacon sandwiches are massive and the bread is always fresh. Not like soggy pre-made stuff from other coffee shops around town. I tried their chocolate chip muffin last week and nearly cried because it was so good. My little sister usually hates everything but even she loved their blueberry ones. Plus they do these seasonal flavors that change every few months so you never get bored. Why I Actually Study Here Finding a decent coffee shop Guildford students can work in is basically impossible. Most places either kick you out after an hour or the WiFi is rubbish or there's nowhere to plug in your laptop. Muffin Break gets it though. They have these big tables perfect for spreading out all your books and notes. The WiFi password is just "muffinbreak" which is easy to remember. Plus they don't give you dirty looks if you stay for four hours cramming for exams. The music isn't too loud or annoying either. Just background stuff that helps you focus. I wrote my entire history coursework here last month and got an A so clearly it works. Prices That Don't Kill You Being sixteen means I don't have much money ever. Most coffee shop Guildford prices are mentally expensive but this place is actually reasonable. A coffee and muffin costs less than what I spend on lunch at school. They do student discounts too which saves me even more money. Sometimes they buy five coffees and get one free card which is brilliant when you go as much as I do. Way better than spending a fortune at those posh places that taste worse anyway. Staff Who Remember Your Name The people working at this coffee shop in Guildford are actually sound. Sarah who works weekends always remembers I like extra foam on my cappuccino. Tom behind the counter knows my order before I even say anything now. They're proper friendly too, not fake friendly like some places. When I was stressed about my GCSE results they asked how I was doing and actually seemed to care about the answer. You don't get that at chain coffee shops. Even when they get mentally busy during lunch they still take time to chat. Perfect Location for Everything This coffee shop Guildford town center location is spot on. Right next to the bus stop so easy to get to from college. Walking distance from all the shops too so I can grab coffee then go shopping after. My mates live all over Guildford and everyone can get here easily. Whether we're meeting before going to the cinema or just hanging out on weekends, it's the perfect middle ground for everyone. Parking isn't terrible either which my dad appreciates when he picks me up. Some of the other coffee places have nowhere to stop even for two minutes. Changes With the Seasons What keeps this coffee shop in Guildford interesting is how they switch things up. Right now they've got these pumpkin muffins that taste like actual autumn. Christmas time they do gingerbread flavors and put up decorations that don't look rubbish. Summer means iced drinks and lighter food which is perfect when it's hot. They even do smoothies sometimes which most coffee places don't bother with. Shows they actually think about what people want instead of just doing the same thing forever. Community Feeling This coffee shop Guildford residents actually care about feels different from those massive chains. They sponsor local events and have this notice board where people put up adverts for babysitting jobs and guitar lessons. During exam time they put up good luck messages for students. Small thing but it makes you feel like they actually know their customers are real people with real lives. The owner sometimes comes in and chats to people too. Try getting that at Costa or Starbucks. You're just another transaction there but here you're part of something bigger. Why This Place Wins Look, I could go on forever about why this coffee shop in Guildford is the best but basically it comes down to this. Good coffee, good food, good people, good prices, good location. Everything just works. My friends joke that I should get paid to advertise for them but honestly I just want other people to discover what I already know. This isn't just another coffee shop Guildford has loads of. It's the one that actually gets everything right. If you haven't been yet you're missing out big time. Trust me on this one.
