The Glen Allen My Favorite Muffin® is owned and operated by the Makarem Family, local residents of the city. As a family focused business, we thrive to serve the best muffins and bagels in town with the warmest welcome. Sam Makarem and his wife Suzanne Makarem have worked hard and raised their two daughters in Dubai, UAE and are now back to the state where it all started. Our mission is to serve food with compassion and a good experience to all that walk into the café.

We make all our muffins and bagels fresh every morning and pride ourselves on fresh food that doesn’t delay your plans for the day. Our muffins are different from others in the area in that they have the texture of a fluffy cake and are prepared with soybean oil- an alternative to butter and margarine that is lower in cholesterol. We believe that food should be shared amongst loved ones to celebrate life’s tiny moments, and so we plan to have a wide variety of options on our menu to suit the whole family. 

Thank you for your interest in our café and we hope to see you soon!
