Esquirescoffee Reviews

Disappointing first impression

The staff were friendly however seemed rushed It took a while to get our drinks which all came at different times We ordered separately as we were in a group and paid separately and we re later informed multiple items were out of stock of some elements which meant some orders had to be changed but we were not offered refunds for the difference which was 4 in some cases The food was basic but still not great served end pieces of bread over grilled toasties which should be easy to get right drinks were okay Based on this experience and it s proximity to another popular cafe I would not recommend it and would be unlikely to return

Disgusting food

We recently visited this restaurant in Windsor and had an unfortunate dining experience We ordered a soup and a bacon bap and while the soup was Ok the bacon bap was appalling As you can see in the image the bacon was essentially just uncooked fat making it inedible We couldn t finish it due to how disgusting it was This was quite disappointing and we hope the restaurant addresses this issue to improve their food quality

Newbury

Newbury - No GF option for bread but staff had to be chased twice to get this information Bacon roll was cold inside Other breakfast took ages to come and was lukewarm Kitchen seemed to be totally overrun Table next to us also had multiple issues with food

Garbage cold hard poached eggs on

Garbage cold hard poached eggs on toast eggs already on the toast and 2 butters on the side Salmon bagel with one tiny thin strip of salmon crisps and a salad at 930am food turned up before drinks all for 28 Never again

Horsham branch don t bother

Horsham branch West Sussex Unsmiling unwelcoming monosyllabic counter staff took ages to appear from backroom despite repeated calls Tables covered in filth falling apart and slopping drinks everywhere Overpriced for both standard of service and drinks Won t be back Use the local independent instead at least they value your business

We visited Esquires in Hoddesdon

We visited Esquires in Hoddesdon quite a new coffee shop with a good look about it However we queued for ages Far to long for coffee and it is very overpriced On top of this they allow DOGS Inside This I will never understand especially when there is an outside eating space Having dogs around food drink and lots of children does not make any sense I love dogs but do not wish to share them while I m eating or drinking Very friendly staff and it was clean

Terrible - probable food poisioning

Lunch at Newbury branch on 25 August with my wife We sat where I had full view of food prep behind downstairs counter Food was handled multiple times by different members of staff The people running the cafe seemed to have no clue it was absolute chaos Long wait for two sandwiches My wife s cheese and mushroom toastie had bits of ham stuck to the bottom of it presumably from an unclean grill My pulled pork sandwich was barely warm and I have had a very bad upset stomach and diarrhoea since Sunday afternoon Avoid at all costs
