Walgreens' Cafe W Blueberry Muffin

While shopping at a West Hartford, Connecticut Walgreen's Pharmacy last Saturday, I purchased a Walgreen's Cafe W Blueberry Muffin. It was the second time I purchased one of these Walgreen's store brand muffins.

This blueberry muffin is really good and seems like an excellent product to review, so here is an article which reviews and examines Walgreen's' Cafe W Blueberry Muffin.

The net weight of the Walgreen's Cafe W Blueberry Muffin is 4.5 ounces (128 grams). According to the product's nutrition facts label, the muffin contains two servings.

So far, I have eaten two of these muffins. The first time I ate one of these muffins, I did eat only half of the muffin, but I was also eating ice cream. With the second muffin, it tasted so good, I ate the entire muffin.

In physical size, this muffin is pretty substantial, without being too big. It measures in at roughly 2.5 " high x 3" wide.

The regular retail price charged for one 4.5 ounce Cafe W Blueberry Muffin at Hartford, Connecticut area Walgreen's Pharmacies is approximately $1.29. When I bought one of these muffins a few days ago, it was on sale and the sale price for one muffin was $0.99c.

Texture / Consistency
One of the first things that I noticed about the Walgreen's Cafe W Blueberry Muffin was its pleasant texture.

This delightful blueberry muffin features an overall pleasant and appealing mouth feel. The cake part of the muffin is soft and moist, without being crumbly. The 'muffin top' is nice and golden brown and is slightly firmer than the interior of the muffin. The generous complement of blueberries in this muffins adds a nice sense of moistness to the item.

The flavor offered by the Walgreen's Cafe W Blueberry Muffin is that of an expertly baked muffin, made with just the right amounts of high quality ingredients.

The word 'balance' comes to mind when trying to describe the flavor of this muffin. Each of the flavor components is quite tasty on its own, but when put together, the ingredients form an exceptionally flavorful item.

For the past couple of years, I have been regularly purchasing and consuming a wide variety of Cafe W food products from Walgreen's Pharmacies and have been very pleased with the flavor, texture and overall quality of almost every product I have tried. This blueberry muffin maintains that tradition of excellence.

Whether it be eaten plain, heated, with some butter or margarine spread upon it, or as part of a dessert, this muffin really tastes great.

Packaging
Walgreen's' Cafe W Blueberry Muffin is packaged in a clear plastic wrapper. The front label features a maroon, gold and white, round Cafe W logo and one thin, vertical gold strip and one thin, vertical maroon strip. Very basic packaging. The rear label lists all pertinent ingredient and nutritional information.

Overall Rating
If you're a fan of blueberry muffins, chances are you would really enjoy eating the Walgreen's Cafe W Blueberry Muffin. To me, this Walgreen's product exemplifies what a classic blueberry muffin should be like.

Cafe W products are normally stocked and sold at Walgreen's Pharmacies everywhere, but they are often not displayed prominently. If you happen to be at a Walgreen's store, try asking an employee where the Cafe W products are stocked. If you see the Walgreen's' Cafe W Blueberry Muffin on display, I highly recommend that you try one.
