Esquires Coffee in Bournemouth

A decent place to stop off for a coffee and breakfast. Stayed in Bournemouth for the weekend, and visited both days. Eggs Benedict, bacon roll, and gluten free creme brule cheesecake were all of a good quality. The coffee was also good, and the service was mostly of a good standard too. I would certainly consider going back if I was in the area, and you cannot say fairer than that!

I have been there only once for a cup of latte. Strong smell of food was inside the coffee shop, I haven't seen any ventilation devices, only ventilation was opened doors. Service was ok, coffee was ok. Esquires in Boscombe that's the place you need to visit if you want tasty latte.

Iced latte was like a plain water

Staff were very friendly and helpful and the coffee lovely. Sadly the pain au chocolat was a bit average. I would go again as the setting is very good

What a joke. Went to go for a work breakfast and was told they don’t do fried eggs with my full English. What cafe doesn’t have the facilities to fry eggs???Ordered white toast instead and they served me brown. Left with out eating anything. Complete waste of my time and money. Won’t ever be coming again. 0/10

Best coffee I had in Bournemouth, lemonade was great too. Ended up coming back every day of my holiday. Iced mocha was perfect.

I found this coffee shop by chance and it was an amazing discovery. A warm atmosphere and a nice and friendly service. They have several breakfast options and the coffee I ordered was incredibly good... I am a coffee expert ☕ and it is very good here.. I recommend you come and try it.

The coffee house has a nice, relaxed atmosphere inside, and the waitress was also very friendly and helpful with her suggestions when I asked for recommendations.

I've been to this cafe a few times and have always enjoyed it. The staff are friendly, the cafe is comfortable and the coffee is great! I haven't eaten here yet but will certainly try it soon!

I visited the Bournemouth cafe on Saturday 1st Sept. The cafe was virtually empty when I arrived, so I didn’t expect to be in there for long. I had a breakfast and an OJ. The staff who work in there are generally very polite, but extremely slow unfortunately I was served by snail boy… so it took an age to do my order and for my Oj to arrive as well. I sat down and waited a long time for my breakfast to arrive 37 minutes to be exact, considering how empty the place was it shouldn’t take as long as it did! when it eventually arrived at my table it was practically cold which is never nice it didn’t look very nice nor taste that nice either the toast was also not buttered and didn’t come with any either! They don’t actually have a kitchen so everything that is made there is done in a commercial heater oven! Which would explain the poor taste, look and temperature. Overall it wasn’t a very enjoyable experience I won’t be coming back any time soon… a suggestion would be to either stop doing breakfasts or get an actual kitchen to avoid this happening.

We had lemon cake coffee and tropical lemonade cherry lemonade it was like someone made it from home tasty and fresh lemonade was 10/10 for coffee and service we enjoyed it all and we will be back again thanks

My favourite coffee in town, lovely atmosphere and an excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful place. Esquires has a cozy and warm atmosphere with modern and contemporary touches around, which simply as well as artistically designed. Yes, you can charge your smart devices as well as materials to read in here which add to it's quality another extra point. Variety of foods and beverages are amazing with very reasonable price range. Staff are very friendly and helpful with lovely smile on their faces and welcoming you all the time. I especially want to say "thanks" to Tanya who very kindly took a picture of me and my daughter together. I definitely recommend this place and looking forward to be going again soon🙏🏼👍🍜🌯☕️🍵🍽️🎂🍪

This place is amazing and very clean

The best coffee and croissant, not just in Bournemouth but anywhere in the South. Bliss.

Came here by accident and thoroughly enjoyed their mocha! Tasted better than anywhere else I have tried so thought I would leave a review! Good to know that the coffee they use is organic!

Delicious breakfast for a great price. Had many full british breakfasts during last month while travelling across UK and this was above all of them. Really good!

Staff are happy and coffee is good. Recommend to all.

Visiting bournemouth so popped in for lunch, beautiful chicken n bacon brown baguette with lattee ,lovely atmosphere and service ,thanku

Such a beautiful place! Very friendly staff and tasty food with amazing price. You can charge your devices, which makes this cafe so useful. The heart on coffee very cute and atmosphere nice as well. Thank you team!

I love this place. Good coffee, excellent service, willing to cater for all needs.

Great place, they even serve brunch at reasonable hours. Amazing eggs Florentine and great hot choc. Strongly recommend!

What a find . Vegan falafel homemade pita with hummus.. delicious, beet spiced latte delicious, my partner even tried matcha latte and loved it.. definitely one to find . Thye even has vegan mayo ....Staff were brilliant nothing too much trouble.

Very friendly staff, beautiful coffee and amazing food. Excellent for breakfast, brunch, lunch etc. We searched for somewhere casual but with quality, and this is exactly what we needed. Excellent !

Highly recommend coffee shop, with friendly and and welcoming staff, decent products and relaxing ambience.

It is one of my coffee shop in Bournemouth however I am finding it so noisy lately - all dishes glasses noises can be heard. Hope this review can help improved

A lot of locals don't go here but its excellent! Eveyone should know about this place from the sureounding areas, not just students. Bigger social media budget needed? Coffee and food is very very good with a welcoming atmosphere. Great addition to the town. Keep it and the service going! Also got a sister place in Boscombe which is also worth visiting.

I had a really delicious chicken Caesar Sandwich from here and the very berry smoothie - great for a treat but the prices are quite steep! The sandwiches are all freshly made and they have a vast selection.

The staff are very nice Flat White is very delicious, and the Cinnamon Rolls is also very delicious. 10/10

We enjoyed a Father's Day brunch here & the food, service & atmosphere were great. We will definitely visit again when next un Bournemouth. I know my stepson visited a lot during this year at university. When he is back in October, we will definitely be visiting again.

one of the best coffees and sandwiches 🫶

Best COFFE - Amazing taste - that was not a visit at coffe shop - that was whole experience 💓Amazing place to just be & relax.....

A very decent cafe with a cozy environment. Perfect for breakfast and brunch. The staff here are helpful and friendly. I am impressed with the high quality service here. I tried their signature pesto chicken sourdough. It was very flavorful and has plenty of chicken inside. The sourdough is crunchy and matches the cubed chicken very well. There are also many other baked goods, coffee, smoothies etc. Would definitely recommend you to try:)

I visited as a treat with my stepson & the food was amazing. Lovely coffee & atmosphere. I loved the reclaimed furniture & light fittings. As well as all the wood, plants & books to read. We will definitely visit again.

I have been here it's really good

Lovely friendly cafe. Always come here when I am in Bournemouth. Came for breakfast first thing. Lovely porridge to set me up for the day. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great range of lovely food to tempt you. Would highly recommend.

Nice cafe that serves coffee and great breakfast/brunch, egg mayo and mango dragonfruit smoothie are great.

Great coffee. Friendly relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Toasted sandwich was tasty but a bit lacking on content and accompanying side salad. The only real let down were the cakes that were far too sweet to enjoy them!

Excellent service and delicious food. Very good value.

Nice, cozy cafe with delicious food

Always my favourite place to stop for a great coffee and good food. Good choices for all dietary requirements are readily available and the team are always really friendly and attentive A great atmosphere with quirky surroundings makes for a happy place to spend time. Thank you.

First time we have used this cafe and wow we were so impressed. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing. We had jacket potatoes and they were cooked to perfection- in an oven!! What a find, we will definitely be back. Thank you for making our day ❤️

Really expensive and stressful lunch break. Had a tomato soup which was served with only one slice of bread. I requested another slice soon the food was served but nobody came back. Left the table, waited in the queue and was charged over £2.00 just for 2 slices of bread and they wanted me to go back and wait at the table for someone to bring the bread 🙄 like it had be cooked and I had time to wait around. By the time I went back to my table someone else was getting comfortable there and got offended when I mentioned I was already sitting there. Plus all my work freshly washed clothes smelled like food (fried egg etc) as they don't have a separate kitchen. Poor uncomfortable chairs. Too expensive for what they offer! Definitely not going back!

Nice place to read a book quietly and sip classic English tea

It's a nice cafe, they served my order quickly.

Enjoyable food plus coffee and other drinks available at Esquires. Staff service top notch.

Good place, good atmosphere, I just have a delicious hot chocolate, great!!!

I wrote a review about esquire’s and how I felt there staff wasn’t happy and how I felt they looked worn out. However today I realised.I put the wrong location, being boscombe rather then Bournemouth Visited Bournemouth today and have no completes and was happy with everything!

I always try to avoid coffee shop chains when i can and hadn't realised that this was part of a chain until I googled when I got home. However it looked inviting but ended up a rip off. Firstly the guy at the order point tried to charge me for a large cappuccino (£3.80!) rather than standard (£3.50) Secondly the coffee was no better than MacDonalds, it was far from hot, and I think I got half a small mug as the rest was froth. Avoid if you don't want to get ripped off.

This coffee shop is a gem! We had a small breakfast there, and the highlight was definitely the coffee and the lovely Marina that served us. She was very attentive, friendly and took really good care of us.

A group of us went for breakfast friendly welcoming staff great service food excellent

This is a great place, no matter if it's a quick drink or a full blown meal. Such a great selection to choose from. If you are sitting alone or in a group it suits everyone. Staff are super friendly and are happy to help with any particular needs you may have. A very relaxed atmosphere and decor to match. It's now my go to place when in town.

Coffee was mediocre. Was charged twice also but only realised later.

Second time I've ordered food here over a few months and the quality and standard you allow to be sent out has been poor. Brown lettuce, avocado shoved on unbuttered soggy hovis bread, mixing butter packs with the food and putting it all in the microwave, unsafe and untrusting, straight in the bin. Not impressed. This isn't the chefs fault, it's management. For reference, I have lived within proximity for 5 years and I'm a huge supporter of small businesses. I stopped going in Esquires a while back as a man on the til was rude to me. Yes the general vibe and aesthetics is lovely and staff generally good. But there are possibly some underlying issues here with pay/management perhaps. Blend has just opened on Richmond Hill in the old echo, I used to chat with the brothers who run this establishment and they don't let standards slip - unsure if they do food, I think they might as its a big unit, I recommend taking your custom there. I have attached pictures. Yes I ate half the toast because I was starving but it really wasn't pleasant

A first time customer. I was attracted by the visual ambiance but left disappointed by everything else. The huge mug is, in my opinion far too big for a quality cup of well balanced and flavourful cappuccino. It tasted like a mug of hot milk with barely any coffee taste. In fairness, staff offered to replace it and returned with the same size, and an extra shot of espresso on the side. He smiled, encouraged me to let him know how the second attempt tastes and gave an impression he cared. I was thinking that all was redeemed... But then he returned to his colleagues behind the counter and easily audible over the loud music, I head him dismiss my observations to the other staff by saying "some people like it this way, some like it that way"! - followed by laughter! For THIS reason alone, you turned a first time customer into a last time customer. For your information Sir, this is not a subjective issue. It is well documented that a cappuccino is normally approximately 150 ml beverage, with 25 ml of espresso coffee and 85ml of fresh milk and foam making up the rest. At least keep the ratio if you choose to use mugs instead of cups. Summary - Coffee is way below acceptable due to the huge mugs, too much milk. Music is too loud. Yes, this one is subjective so let me qualify it: With ipods in, Mac on full volume, I was still unable to properly hear the conversational audio I needed to listen to for work. Staff: Slow service and don't ever discuss your customer feedback behind their back to amuse yourselves. Overall, Absolutely no reason to come back a second time given the number of competing other options available so close by. Lost customer, lost opportunity, lost revenue.

What a lovely place. Food, coffee and atmosphere is great. Discovered today and the bonus for us, it's dog friendly 🐶😄. Dog served immediately with water and biscuits and humans soon after. Lots of young people socialising and working (there are plug sockets available for devices). A great find we'll be back when we visit again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely little coffee house. I especially love the peach iced tea. I had to get two. Clean and well maintained. Friendly staff.

Delicious coffee ☕️, friendly staff👍

I really enjoyed this place. Comfy and with a relaxing music. Caked and coffee not too bad. Kind waiter.

The staff were really kind and helped with a coffee spill as well as making gluten free egg mayo toasted which was super awesome and the the atmosphere was great could not recommend more !!

Just went here to read a book but ended up falling in love with the place. The staff were so friendly and attentive. The food was amazing for the price. They also offer student discount which was a nice bonus. Not only do they have pastries, they also have a breakfast and lunch menu so there was a lot to choose from. The atmosphere was great whether you want to go with friends or alone there’s a spot for everyone. The chairs are comfortable and they even have a little spot for books. They’ve got coat racks and spaces for charging so you can study. Absolutely loved this cafe. Definitely coming here again.

Very busy but the service was quick and friendly. Coffee was very good and a good size. I had pork baguette which was good but the pork was a bit too finely cut and was almost a puree. The atmosphere was good and vibrant. Will go again.

One of the best experiences I’ve had in a coffee house staff are extremely helpful, and seem to have fun, definatly worth the visit, best coffee shop in Bournemouth!!

Nice interior, very tasty food, good service. Will be back

I just fell in love with this place! Such an amazing atmosphere and the service is incredible!

We went for a coffee at esquires in Bournemouth. The Drinks were lovely and hot. Great staff and good atmosphere.

Very delicious English Breakfast! Can only recommend :)

Very nice establishment with great coffee,however today I was served undercooked clear eggs,was unable to gain staffs attention as they were engrossed discussing video games.

Excellent coffee (with a beautiful design), sandwiches, tea, pastries and service! I frequented this cafe each day (sometimes twice) while I accompanied my husband here for his work. Such a delightful place to grab a delicious meal in a cost atmosphere. After trying a couple other cafes I couldn't help just come back here- it's so good and just what I was hoping for!

Nice place, very good service. I only had a coffee but would recommend.

Coffee was amazing, lovely spot to catch up with friends or study

Great fri3ndly staff and run well. Good options for deli style food and bakery goods. Nice change from the big conglomerates!

Really lovely staff, great atmosphere, nice food and hot drinks ☺️

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!!!

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!

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

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

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

Whist visting bournemouth we paid a visit to this cafe. 4 of us ordered lunch and found a table. Three meals arrivead when we questioned the 4th meal we was told there was no order,and the assistant then turned her back on me. So three of us had lunch, whilst i sat with a empty plate and totally disgusted with the customer service received. On the way out we questioned this again we were talking to a guy when a female jumped into the conversation. She was not interested in what we had to say no customer service and very agressive. Only interested in her own point of view and opinions. I work in retail and if one of my employees spoke to a customer in the way this girl speak to me, i would be very disappointed. This is also brand damaging. Im not saying the customer is always right, but respecting others and listening to there point of view goes along way. I wont be visting this establishment again.

Nice place to enjoy a good cappuccino

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!

I ordered eggs benedict and a Ham and cheese toastie. Terrible food. Do not order from here. The ham is very cheap and the toastie was thin, damp with little to no cheese. I was given a wooden fork and knife (no probs) but the person who packed my food stapled through the fork, so it has splintered - just careless.

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

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

Poor quality food, terrible coffee and incredible price. Never again.

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.

Table tipped over and covered me in hot coffee

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

Lovely staff, great coffee, tasty food, cosy comfy locale :)

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.

Went here for the first time and it wasn't great. Coffee is good and Orange juice.but breakfast definitely not. I ordered full breakfast and arrived at my table too quick. As a Fine Dinning Chef is a Red Flag when the food arrives really fast. So lets talk about the food. Tomato was undercooked and the Mushroom was raw. Both these ingredients were most likely under the grill for 2 min. Breakfast was warm by the time I started to eat the toast and eggs rest was cold. All I eat from the plate was 1 toast, 2 overcooked " poached eggs " and some beans. I cut the sausage but if they can't cook two simple ingredients (mushroom and tomato) how should I trust them to cook a simple sausage? Like me the place wasn't busy.

Es bueno hay wifi y dulces ricos y comida

Excellent coffee, great customer service, dog friendly.

The men how served me the coffee outside was very rude 07/08/2021 13:15 I can’t believe the manager of the shop let him serving customers Please check your camera on this time you will see what happened on that time!!??

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

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!

Amazing breakfast - I had crushed avocado on granary toasted bread!

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
