Esquires Coffee in Runnymede

Arrived Saturday morning for breakfast, good service at the point of ordering. Was informed that you collected your own drinks when they called your table number and food would be served to the table. We ordered 1 full English breakfast 1 eggs royale 1 Cappuccino 1 Americano Drinks were prompt and hot, it was good coffee.BUT we waited and waited for the food after drinking the coffee and watching the ‘chef’ through poached eggs in the bin over and over and our plates sitting on the side going cold and waiting another 10 minutes decided that we couldn’t wait any longer, had been there 20 minutes we asked for a refund. The refund was prompt and the manager told us there was a problem with the eggs…it was more a problem with the person cooking the eggs as we watched the young man through egg after egg in the bin, they clearly couldn’t cook poached eggs. Wouldn’t return probably ok if you only want coffee.

Walking from the station to a business appointment, under heavy rain, I noticed this clean looking and enticing place. Organic and carefully selected beans, what could be better for a coffee lover looking for some protection from the weather? The space was indeed nice, but unfortunately the coffee was poor. Mediocre to poor taste and aroma, and horrendous execution. Too hot, too. Next time better to face the rain.

Absolutely fantastic place!!!! We don't go to Egham much ( I live in maidenhead ) but this is a gem of a place! The service, excellent food quality, and good coffee are all 5 star rating..... Staff are lovely and really friendly. In the words of Arnie........(.well, you know)

Popped in for coffee and cake about 11am on Sunday morning. It was fairly busy but we got a table in the window with comfy seats. We all had coffee which was actually HOT and really smooth tasting. The service is really friendly, very chatty and genuine, and happy to make drinks the way you want them. This was my first visit but I'll definitely be back. A great addition to Egham.

Went in this morning as this was the first time I had seen this place open. Was very clean and welcoming, with a large array of baked goods available for a range of palates (chocolate, lemon, nutty, fruit etc), and fresh sandwiches. Only purchased some lemon cake, but the menu looked very well priced for the area. Manager and staff were very welcoming and chatty, but not oppressive to the more introverted customer. Will be visiting again with friends.
