| - Okay so I don't know if this one will replace my other post, but I don't think it will... I was ranting and raving about how AMAZING the muffins are at the hub... well, the hub has undergone managerial changes, or so I've heard and what I sense. I am not in this place everyday to know for certain though. I would go whenever I craved a muffin... BUT, those muffins have changed... I will not go as far as to say they are bad... but they are different and when you fall in love with something, like a muffin, you'd kinda like it to stay the same.
So, their morning muffins, have less nuts in them. The old ones had full half walnuts and full almonds on the top, plus some inside. The new morning muffins, have crushed/chopped (* sounds better) nuts on top and very few within the muffin itself. That's kinda disappointing, since in the morning it's the protein hit, I seek. What is nice about the changed muffin is the dates.. they have dates to sweeten it, which I don't know if they did originally, but is something I noticed that I quite enjoyed.
Their chocolate muffins... are now with Zucchini. This is great if you like zucchini and even better if you find the combination of zucchini + chocolate, divine, I don't. I am not a HUGE no. 1 fan of zucchini, I don't hate it, but it doesn't agree with me and chocolate and zucchini together, while it adds moisture yet ultimately what is going through my head is... WHY? WHY? WHY? I really don't get the appeal here... seriously! WHY?... but that's me.
Needless to say I will reconsider future trips to this cafe... I can make pretty kickass muffins myself and I can prepare them the way I like, without feeling guilty or bad for being so picky (like not liking zucchini in my CHOCOLATE muffin)... or feeling like I am being judged (this typically happens at other places, not the hub and is one of the major reasons I actually like the HUB) because they are so not pretentious and judgey. They're smiley, welcoming and usually incredibly friendly too.
