Esquires Coffee in Dartford

Great Eggs Benedict and lovely tea and cake. I had Key Lime Pie, which was delicious. Comfortable seating and friendly staff.

Ordered 2 bacon rolls & 2 coffees, coffee is OK but bacon roll had 1 rasher of bacon. At £3 + I think this is a rip off. Prices used to be reasonable but same old story. Greedy for money

Lovely place to sit down for a coffee in Dartford. I'll often go with my laptop to get a bit of work done. Have the 'turkish eggs' (menemen) for breakfast. Its great. Would be even better if there were one or two more specialities on the menu.

Popped in on the off chance as had walked past many times and was really happy and have returned several times since.Really good value for money, great food and drinks and a nice atmosphere.Large coffee is the size of a swimming pool!!Give it a go, its a little haven.

There was nowhere to sit in Costa so googled an alternative coffee shop and seeing the decor thought I’d give it a go. I wish I hadn’t bothered. Coffee was bitter not in a good way. The pastry on my Berry slice stale, left the whole thing. My friend had the cooked breakfast. Sausages were only good item. Came with mushrooms and tomatoes. Half a portabello mushroom (yes half served!!!!) and a whole tomato was like it had just been put on the plate straight out the fridge wasn’t even grilled. Lesson learnt. If costa too busy just go home instead and save the money.

Popped in late on a Monday evening with friends just before closing. Hungry as I hadn’t eaten all day and as there wasn’t much option, I was kindly offered a freshly made sandwich! Staff are very polite and friendly (as they have been every time I visit) with quick and professional service with a smile! When I received my sandwich I was blown away at the presentation! A great place to sit and relax with a coffee and feel like a valued customer every time!

Passed this place very often and many times. Only now I decided to stop by. It was early morning on the market day so plenty of seating available. I chose the furthest corner where I was able to park my buggy and feed my baby freely. There were newspapers available and some books on the shelf. There are baby changing facilities in the toilet. We were greeted with smile. Service was good but not exceptional though. Coffee - latte seemed big size (ordered regular with syrup) and cost little over 3£. They bring it to the table. Didn't order any cakes or snacks. Nothing seemed too tempting as I already had breakfast before. There was choice of loads of prepacked snacks- cakes etc. The place has a vibe and is nice and quirky. Nothing like this in Dartford. So this would be my choice nr 1. Good attitude and nice place for coffee. It seemed like there were many regulars and they were greeted on arrival and departure and a person who looked like an owner spoke to them sparing his time.

Warm friendly welcome from all staff, the owner holds high standards and ensures his staff maintain them. I’ve been into the town several times and this is consistently the best coffee house. The corner plot is well lit, a small number of covers outside but seating is often hard to come by as a lot of locals come here too. Toasties are wonderful, hot filing oozes out and very tasty.

The coffee shop looks lovely, with its warm, welcoming and modern decor. It did feel slightly cramped though, as the building itself is pretty small and we were uncomfortably close with other customers, however, this was not a major problem.The coffee tasted lovely (even if a little overpriced), and the cake also tasted great. The menu was huge and consisted of lots of unique coffees and sandwiches.Overall, quite a good coffee shop to visit if you're in the Dartford area. To be honest I feel that a place like this is to good to be in Dartford.

I love going here as the staff are super friendly the coffee is always good and there's an overall comforting feel to the place.

We popped in for a quick coffee and was delighted to such a great choice of gluten free sweet treats. I went for the brownie. It was so yummy!

An ideal site for a coffee shop, right on the corner where you can watch the world go by. Not an extensive menu for eating, mostly snacks. Has room for over 50 people seated. Service was quick and prices reasonable. Overall average.

This is just perfect place, modern, friendly, just what the town needs. A lovely variety of good quality drinks and snacks. I work with Adults with learning disabilities we are regulars, we are always made to feel welcome the confidence that you see now with our members when they are being severed. Thank you for making a special experience for them.

Nice looking place so stopped for a quick lunch and coffee. We ordered jacket potatoes at £5.45, I resent paying for something so cheap when it comes up with hardly anything in it or on the side. A bit of decent side salad would not go amiss. Coffees are lovely but again overpriced. What struck me most is the lack of ambiance. Staff who seem bored and don't make eye contact let alone give any personal service. Shame as it looks great on the high street.

My first visit here with a friend. Plenty of seating available on arrival so no need to make a dash for a chair. The premises were clean and well looked after, the service was efficient and quick. We ordered 2 pots of tea to which I was very impressed that loose tea leaves were used rather than a teabag! What a lovely brew. Next time I'll try their coffee. Not to badly priced either.

Came in today with several of my NCT friends. Most coffee establishments hate it when we come in (quite understandably) because we take up far too much room with our buggies! We were welcomed by the staff who moved the tables around for us, brought us our coffees so that we weren’t handling hot drinks and babies and opening doors for one of the mums who has a double buggy so really struggles to get through doorways. The customer service was first class.

Only went in for a coffee, was busy when I went. Although I only had coffee the snacks looked good. They also supply free news papers to read while you are there.

Great shop does amazing coffees, good range of cakes, hot and cold lunches and owner & staff so friendly

Had a couple of coffees and cake here. Both were great. Decor is lovely and the service good. Will go again.

I desperately needed to charge my phone , excited I saw under each table there is smartphone charging and electricity plugs clearly there for customers as they are under each table, unfortunately no electricity in them. Otherwise lovely coffee place with amazing chocolate, but needed to get attention of owner for this problem.

We visited twice cappuccino coffee was beautiful .hot chocolate was lovely if a little large,bacon roll needs more bacon for such a large roll

This is a new coffee shop and well worth stopping by for a coffee/tea etc and great snakes, cakes of beautiful! Plus there are tables and chairs outside.

A lovely place. Coffee was excellent, we didn't have any food but it looked tempting. Friendly staff

Although it appears modern, that's where it stops. You will receive functionary service, void of personality or warmth that will not encourage you to do back. It's a shame, with the right management this would be a great place.

Don't like the super chain coffee houses like Costas & Starbucks - been here a few times now for a cuppa - very friendly people & good service - Gurjit the manager is a friendly chap and so is the young lady who has served us each time we visited (Don't know her name) - she's first on the left in their website picture

Popped on here today Sunday morning for the first time.

It sums it all up. The cafe looked nice and trendy, lots of wood and industrial look. Given other options around, this one looked the most attractive. The service was just average and the food well also. I had scrambled eggs that were just anaemic. Husband had a sandwich and also thought it was average.

Good coffe cakes aint wonderful and quite expensive service ok well placed in the town center . Will visit again but only if it suits.

Having left my car at the sick car hospital on the outskirts of town, i found myself with plenty of time to kill before eventually time kills me...ha ha.

Having had a look around Dartford and thought this looks the best! Had a morning coffee, good flavour to the coffee, and a toasted teacake which came buttered, I prefer to butter my own. The later popped back in for lunch!

This place is brilliant. Been here a few times since recently opening. It's a really great looking place. Very different from you chains like costa and Starbucks. Coffee is good. Tea even better. Great customer service. I wish this place well

I have visited this new to Dartford coffee shop twice. Each time I have had a very well produced coffee and served by friendly staff. a good variation of seating in a shop that has a spacey feel. Excellent and welcome amongst a very competitive high street.

Have visited this place twice Both times excellent friendly service A good selection of cakes and snacks Coffee is good too Well worth a visit

Clean. Friendly. Bright. Airy. Good coffee and good cakes. Perfect placed if you want to people watch Dartfordians. Try it.

Visited this new coffee shop 3 times. Last time being Easter Sunday. I know it was a holiday but staff could at least acknowledge a friendly hello. Hv tried the Americano and cappuccino. May as well boil a kettle drink instant coffee and save myself £3. Disappointed because I was looking forward to an alternative to Costa. Here's a tip - close the front doors and keep the draught out.

Awesome to see a nicer non-chain coffee store opening in central Dartford (it certainly lacks any sort of nice restaurants or cafes). Design of the place is nice and inviting and hopefully it'll do well. Had a few espressos so far and they've been fine, but my wife's coffee was terrible, and my banana milkshake lacked any sort of banana flavour. Word of advice to management - make sure your staff know how to make coffee, and please remember to put bananas in the shakes! Dartford needs somewhere nice so don't screw it up for us...

With doors open to the public before the official ribbon cutting takes place, it was great to see this corner store converted into a clean and rather smart looking cafe. I didn't try any of the food, but staff were friendly and the view of the Inventors mural and any activities taking place at one bell corner make it a great place to grab a seat and use the free Wi-Fi.
