Author: Emma DicksonPublished 8th Sep 2023

Muffin Break, an Australian-owned brand of bakery cafés, is expanding its footprint in Northern Ireland, with the opening of its first store in Belfast.

Located in CastleCourt Shopping Centre, the opening of the new café, complete with scratch bakery, has seen Muffin Break invest £200,000 in the fit-out of the Belfast store, which has created 15 new jobs.

The Belfast-based café will join Muffin Break’s other location in Buttercrane Shopping Centre, Newry which opened earlier this year.

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.

Speaking on Muffin Break’s new store location, CastleCourt Centre Manager, Leona Barr comments: “As part of the ongoing programme of new store openings at CastleCourt this year, we are delighted to welcome Muffin Break to CastleCourt and to Belfast.

“This quality brand complements our existing Food and Beverage line up and further enhances our mix of food, retail and leisure offer at the centre.”

Speaking about the opening of the new CastleCourt location, Scott Nicholas, National Operations Manager of FoodCo UK comments: “The response from shoppers to our Newry café has been incredible and we’ve been working hard to find the perfect location in Belfast.

“Centrally located, with a corner unit on the ground floor, Muffin Break, CastleCourt, presents the ideal location for coffee lovers to relax and for shoppers to try one of our famous muffins and light bites from our breakfast and lunch menus.”

Muffin Break is open seven days a week, Monday to Saturday, 7.30am to 6pm, with late night opening on a Thursday and Sunday, from 12pm until 6pm.

The bakery café is located at the Berry Street entrance to CastleCourt.

Muffin Break, Belfast will be available on Deliveroo in the near future.
