Table 1. Muffin-on-Muffin Action.   "Posh" cafe "Hippy" cafe Muffin Apple and Cherry Sticky Date Crumb/texture A little doughy Firm Serving temperature Cold Ambient Crust Uncrusty - soggy? damp? Extra crusty Feature quality Sweet/tart good fruit combo Substantial date-ness1 Feature quantity Quite dense high content Some chunks, medium content Additional features Some walnuts Walnuts + toasted almond flakes Moistness Moist to damp Moist to dry Price $3.20 $1.952 Additional 1 piece of plasticky apple peel Cinnamon! Comments Obviously refrigerated, lack of crust a large negative, good fruit content Beautifully crusty, baked in tin, not paper pan, so crusty on sides too, could have had more fruity chunkness, good nut content 1 Not many chunks of date, but obviously some pureed date through the muffin.
2 A nasty surprise, they were $1.50 a few days ago I'm sure, may have been the hippy behind the till who made a mistake.

Overall, the crustiness of the Hippy offering won me over, even before accounting for the price differential.  Yes, the crusty hippies win again.
