Reviews of Muffin Plus indicate a mixed experience: high prices and food that is not always fresh or well executed. Dishes are noted to use day-old ingredients and can be dry, pastries are poorly proportioned and muffins can be bland when fruit is missing. Sandwiches are decent but the bread is also dry. The concept is praised for creativity and potential, yet execution falls short, with pastry quality highlighted for improvement to surpass the standard of a typical big chain bakery. Service is impeccable.View restaurant profile
