Reviews of Esquires Coffee

T. K.

This is my favourite cafe in Bournemouth, full stop. No other location has such a perfect balance of great food and coffee, a versatile environment to work or relax in, and wonderful staff. For the past three years, I’ve spent many happy hours here with friends, and countless more working on my Undergraduate and Masters projects. There’s nowhere better in my opinion.

C. E.

This little coffee shop is not only adorable with a lovely aesthetic, but some of the friendliest staff I have encountered in the whole of Bournemouth! Had a lovely lunch, as they cater to veggies and vegans which is great, and should you wish to come alone there is a great selection of books brought in by customers. A lovely little gem that I would far prefer over a chain such as Starbucks or Costa!

C. F.

Great choice for a brunch, particularly if you eat vegan or gluten-free. I loved this place. Really cozy and people working here are incredibly nice and kind. Portions are really big, food is so tasty!

C. M.

A pleasant restaurant, clean and with music for all tastes. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Breakfast was served quickly and was delicious..thanks .... I will definitely be back and highly recommend

J. A.

Bournemouth patrons, I highly recommend this cafe for all of your coffee and breakfast needs. The environment is perfect for socializing, working, and reading. Esquires' staff are absolutely professional and sociable. A special mention to Lucas and Jack for their attention during my stops at this cafe.

N. R.

I've been coming here for breakfast and coffee daily whilst staying and working in Central Bournemouth for 8 weeks. The coffee is incredible. Food delicious but most importantly for me the staff are friendly, funny and noticeably passionate about their work. I will miss this place but will be sure to visit again when in town. Thank you all for feeding and watering me and of course for the interesting early morning chats x

A. M.

Best individually owned franchise in Bournemouth. Good coffee good atmosphere and good management. Owner works as staff and you wouldn't even be able to tell who he is either. Love it

D. C.

Nice little cafe nestled amongst shops. Great food and drink. Great service.

Kind staff, warm, fresh vibe (good for dates 😉). Large toilet for disabled and baby changing, but there's only one for all, so expect a wait. Coffee taste is good, no complaints (had a cappuccino and milk choc cookie which both were perfectly made!!!

H. C.

First visit to Esquires, very friendly staff, and good coffee. The menu looks good. It was a very a lovely place to spend some time and we will go back no doubt to try the food!!

Our favourite place to eat in town. The best mocha's! Delicious breakfasts, the sausages 🤤 and f' amazing flatbread's!!! Love the atmosphere here, we always use the books on the shelves to distract out child too.

V. H.

I usually come here with my friend to study so we spend quite a lot of time. Each time we've been here it was very lovely, the staff is nice and the food is delicious ! The café looks so good ! 10/10 would recommend :)

A lovely cafe with cosy atmosphere, good quality coffee and friendly staff always making sure you're well taken care of. Highly recommend this place :)

N. W.

Absolutely LOVE this place! Their coffee is incredible! Great food and lovely staff!

E. L.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and clean. Lots of milk alternatives to choose from if that's a priority for you. Free soya or 30p more for almond milk etc. Great for working in with your laptop or meeting a friend of a coffee. Slightly pricey but just what you'd expect for a town centre franchise.

S. H.

Fantastic range of coffee, drinks, food and snacks. Great service, reasonable prices and a good atmosphere make this a go-to cafe/bistro when we're in Bournemouth.

S. F.

Favourite place in town. Highly recommended. I am huge lover of coffee and for me is important quality of the work and coffee itself. Esquires always match my expectations.

T. J.

Lovely people, excellent coffee, cozy interior. We returned several times during our 5 days at Bournemouth. 100% recommended!

O. G.

Beautiful place. Lovely atmosphere, wonderful array of food and drinks. Friendly staff, spacious toilet facilities (although only one person at a time). I had a kale, cucumber, spinach, lemon and apple smoothie, and it tasted like heaven. My daughter assured me their hot chocolate was “the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted, I can’t even describe it - way better than C*sta!” Highly recommend to all.

A. M.

Great place! Busy but they work hard in there and are just lovely! Wonderful coffee and food. The place just has a lovely vibe 😎 Will certainly be going again for another flat white.

J. S.

Good coffee shop in town. It tries to be trendy, but still feels like a franchise. The barista was super friendly and helpful, extra points for that. Had an americano, it was OK, nothing special.

R. S.

My partner and I have been coming here for well over a year, and are now on first name basis and Jack even knows our order of by heart every time we come through the door he just cracks on. Service is great, pleasant seating areas. Staff are wonderful and coffee/food is also great as well. Nice place and on of our favourite cafes.

C. M.

Coffee is awesome, fab staff and beautiful latte art! Lively environment as well

R. C.

Great tasting coffee and friendly staff. Plenty of tables available. I would certainly return if I am visiting Bournemouth again.

N. T.

This place looks nice with pleasant atmosphere and staff however automatically three stars due to the fact they have normal or vegan breakfast and no vegetarian option. I asked for a vegetarian and instead of explaining this to me the staff put it through as vegan with added cost for egg. To me that's a cop out to make more money! I've never come across this before. Also they don't do fried egg, only poached or scrambled so if you don't want these options with a breakfast then best to avoid.

A. A.

Great café! A little expensive but the portion sizes are huge!

L. B.

Quaint cafe on the high street, cosy atmosphere and amazing coffee! So refreshing to see small independent coffee shops that are even better than the big names! Thank you! Deffo would recommend

D. C. C. D.

Cute and comfy environment, great staff service! My friend and I have never tried chai latte and now we love it!

S. D.

First visit, great decor... More importantly the barista made one of the best lattes I've had.

D. B.

First time here and had a great experience. Very easy to use their online menu to order. Food came quickly and was hot. Well presented and tasted delicious. Super friendly and helpful staff. Will return.

R. G.

Best coffee in town!!! I just love everything in this place. I always get a latte with vanilla, caramel or hazelnut and it’s perfect. Food is delicious too. Easy to order with online menu… thank you!

O. S.

This is one of my favorite, if not top favorite, cafe here in Bournemouth! I highly recommend everyone to visit! They have a verity or vegan, non vegan and even gluten free options! (Very important for all of those celiacs out there!) and not to mention, their takeaway lunch is simple stop on! Top quality and very healthy selection of bagels and sandwiches ready to go. I have no complaints. The staff here is simply wonderful and very friendly, it’s thanks to here I got introduced to Chi Latte, and honesty, they make it excellent here!

A. V.

Lovely place, good coffee, but avocado toast was kind of disappointing. It's very cute inside though. Lots of seating. Stuff is always very friendly and helpful. The pastry options are nice and fresh- they have vegan croissants and spicy vegan sausage rolls.

F. C.

Staff were friendly enough, clean environment, good amount of outside tables. Food is expensive in here, so be prepared, and bizarrely toast is only toasted on one side? Disappointed on this occasion, better lunch experience

A. I.

Very good coffee, the best I have drunk in Bournemouth so far. The chocolate croissant very nice. Well done. Just relax with pressing customers to download app. Does not work this way.

M. A.

Nice modern cafe, clean with a lovely sitting arrangement. We had breakfast here while on holiday, egg Benedict was lovely and coffees taste good.

R. Y.

Great drinks top service in clean comfortable surroundings.

H. G.

Coffee tastes amazing, and idk what they do differently with the milk but it's delicious! Everyone who works there is very lovely, always ready with a smile. Great atmosphere for a first date or meeting with someone new, as it's quirky without being too out-there or pretentious feeling, just a great unique feel. Plenty of veggie options and even a few vegan! Definitely worth a visit or two!!!

J. M. H.

Everything was exquisite. The coffee was amazing and the brunch was delicious. The stuff was really helpful and they are taking care of the important details. A gentleman with glasses came to ask us about the food and how was it (great service).

M. R.

Perfect small coffee shop in Bournemouth that we found as we wandered the streets. Breakfast arrived quickly to the table and you collect your drinks from the end of the counter (like Costa/Starbucks etc). Plenty of seating inside, most tables have USB charging and power sockets if you want to work whilst there. Fairly busy place so must be popular with locals and tourists. All the food and drink was very nice especially the freshly pressed apple juice.

G. T.

Went in last Sunday for a snack and it was chocca! Got 2 lattes 2 cakes and a bacon roll for about 20 quid (pricey!). Ginger girl on till was lovely and quick with our food. Lattes were delicious and the girl with dreadlocks who made my coffee helped me to my seat! Great service thats hard to find from a coffee shop in town! Only 4 starts because of the prices and one toilet

E. K.

Vibrant atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff. With so much local "coffee shop" competition they must innovate and be very seen to be different to be successful. The menu is a good start as it's premium and unusual even including vegan options. That must be a plus but would be further enhanced by diabetic and gluten freindly both sadly missing on most highstreets. Overall a promising start and well worth a try.

D. H.

Found this lovely place by chance while looking for somewhere yo have breakfast. Friendly staff, clean premises and very calm. Highly recommend paying a visit if in Bournemouth.

I. G.

Very good coffee! And they have have a large selection of food and everything is of very good quality. Vegan food as well.

D. B.

A Fine selection of excellent tea and coffee and delicious food as well. What's not to like?

S. J.

Great service by their friendly staff. The coffee was delicious and great design on the froth! Good selection of veggie options too. Thanks.

V. P.

Good coffees, great environment! The place is very cozy and popular especially within students :)

I. E.

Nice coffee, and friendly staff. I feel there is a need for management to look at the way the door opens and closes, as I noticed a lot of people struggling to open the door, in particular people with prams and push chairs. Maybe a visable sign needs to be put on the door on where to press the enter button. 😊

J. S.

Had jacket potato with smashed avocado, my daughter had cheese/ham toastie. Both came with salad but dressing was awful. The potato was pretty tasteless to be honest as was the toastie. Nice place though and staff very friendly and helpful.

M. M.

Really good coffee, you can tell they put the effort into the machinery and layout. The staff are really helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is chill.

R. B.

My absolute favorite coffee place in Bournemouth, the staff are kind and worthy of the support. The student discount and Loyalty card is a huge plus for me.

j. a.

Lovely place, friendly staff. Free WiFi and charging points. Plug outlets at each table for laptops. Good food, extremely good coffee, and toilet with disabled access and baby changing. What more could you ask for. ☺️

S. S.

Great vibe and in my opinion the decoration is the best in Bournemouth when it comes to cafes. Food prices look good although I didn't have any food but the flat white is a bit expensive (2.95). The opening hours is also a big plus as it stays open until 19.00

J. G.

I liked this place today but feel they are not understanding the current trend for vegi and vegan food. At late lunch today there were only meat options left and lots of them but all vegi options had been sold. I'd suggest they alter their ratio of meat to vegi options to ensure satisfied customers.

R. H.

The coffee is okay, not my flavour to it. Nero just a few over is much nicer. More flavour. The staff inside are oddly antisocial. One who made the drink put it down and then hastily walked off without saying a word. Weird.

M. P.

Ordered two mochas with the extras came to £8.40 quite expensive.. And they were luke warm so not the greatest however I really like the decor and the atmosphere, so willing to give them another go.

S. P.

First visit here ... fresh coffee and pastry, nice decor and well presented. Will be my go to place from now on for a break whilst shopping in Bournemouth.

D. B.

Went here with a friend recently, unfortunately due to some kind of system error our order didnt get through ,when I went to check, the staff were very apologetic and freindly which I really appreciated :) they sorted out our order quickly, would definitely go again

C. H.

One of the best places in town for a coffee and bite to eat. I find the coffee here seriously good. The staff are also very friendly and the place is run to a high standard.

E. A.

Lovely friendly attentive staff. Lovely coffee and good quality tea's. Back ground music superb fir this relaxed setting.

E. D.

E. S.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, great tea and coffee. I wasn't a huge fan of eggs benedict but I can definitely recommend turkish eggs.

D. B.

It is nice to try a non-chain coffee shop in the centre of town but the experience could have been better. Hopefully this will come with time as they become more established and get into the flow of it. Will revisit.

D. H. H.

Calm place to read paper while having a coffee or even a meal. We almost went to one of the main chains but I'm glad we didn't.
