The wide, crisp top has edges that are almost as crunchy as a biscuit.
The base is filled with an abundance of fresh berries and chunks of pear or apple. Soft, moist and sweet. On weekends they may surprise you with chocolate chips too.
Forgive the dodgy photography.
Muffins were a staple food for me while I was at uni. They're cheap and filling. Whenever I visit a new cafe or bakery I always try their muffins, but time and time again I have been disappointed by their general dryness and lack of fruit. Are bakeries overcooking muffins on purpose to put people off eating them, thus helping to reduce obesity rates in Australia?
The Green Refrectory, without a doubt, makes the best muffins in Melbourne. These are the regular varieties they offer:
- Blueberry and pear
- Raspberry and apple (with chocolate chips sometimes)
- Strawberry and pear
- Blackberry/boysenberry and apple/pear
- Savoury - sun dried tomatoes, spinach, roast pumpkin, feta and pine nuts
Location: 115 Sydney Rd, Brunswick. It's next to the shoe store, opposite the tanning salon.
Opens till 8pm everyday but Sunday, when it closes at 5.
