Esquires Coffee in Leicester

Esquires coffee is one of the best no doubt and the staff at this location 👌🏽friendliest

I come here all the time. Great spot, everyone is very nice

Friendly service from the young girl who served me. Much appreciated!

Exceptional service everytime I come in the staff are lovely. I usually come in on my break ax i work across the road at John Lewis. I love the environment its very relaxing and inviting. I highly recommend to come here.

Amazing coffee, I would say best in Leicester! Very friendly staff! Can definitely recommend !

Really nice cafe to bring your laptop and crack up on work or catch up with a friend! Drinks are nice but the food was very overpriced for not even a kids portion (bf had the egg royale).

Great avocado on toast, fresh & good portion size. Hot chocolate good consistency & expresso good. Definitely order again. :)

An absolutely lovely place to go for coffee and to dine in. The staff are lovely and smiley, particularly our server Megan who went above and beyond during our visit, and made the best coffees we have had for a while. She advised us on the gluten free options and gave us great recommendations. Her attitude was professional, and she was a lovely girl. My go to coffee shop now for sure !

Only good thing about this place is the Wifi. Staff are pleasant but I've yet to have any food that is decent.

Genuinely the worst customer service No one seems to be able to speak a language I understand and the end product is average at best

Amazing coffee and food, friendly & polite staff. Highly recommend! 5 stars⭐

Lovely coffee and delicious food, nice atmosphere. Polite & helpfull staff. Highly recommend! 5 star place in Leicester!

Ordered from delivered from coffee shop they didn't even send the coffee. No cutlery to even eat the food with. Start reading your orders. Waste of time.

Lovely coffee, lovely coffee house.

This is my favourite coffee shop in Leicester! Excellent coffee and a good selection of pastries. The staff is the friendliest and most attentive. Every visit is a pleasure!

Excellent, very efficient and friendly staff, very nice food, plenty of choice to suit all.

Would not recommend going to this place and suggest anyone reading go to somewhere else. Myself and family ordered some drinks and the festive ciabatta each for lunch. The drinks were okay, but the festive ciabatta was not what we ordered at all. Not sure if a member of staff was trying to be funny, but replacing the turkey and bacon for a slice of smart price ham , and then the brie for some grated cheese, isn’t what I’d call festive, on top of that it was cold. I could of had better food from a meal deal and saved £8. Not sure who works in the kitchen but there training and position should be considered. John

Lovely coffee shop just on outskirts of the city centre near John Lewis. Friendly staff but a fantastic service from Megan who just smiled made use feel very welcome. We had a gingerbread Waffle which was to die for.....

I come often and love the vibe. So great to work or catch up with friends. Super kind and friendly staff who remember who you are! Especially love it at Christmas time! Good coffee too! :)

First time we came to Esquiers to have breakfast , the food was delicious coffe was amazing I truly recommend this place. Big shout to the baristas very knowledgeable and friendly 10/10

It was my first time visiting this coffee shop. I came with my kids for a brunch and we had a great experience. The drinks were beautifully presented and the food was delicious. The place it's clean, the staff extremely friendly and they already have put their Christmas decoration, which brought a lot of joy for my kids. We even had some photos with their cute teddy bears. Truly recommend that place especially after being tired from the shopping in Highcross.

I have been here many times before and always had a great experience so came here at the weekend with family - sadly it was awful. The food was shocking - the full English breakfast was all cold and the toast was like warm bread, the poached eggs on toast were so watery we actually took them back and ordered something else and another full English had items missing. We weren’t given table numbers so staff were wandering around with food and another table had one of our full English breakfasts (despite us ordering before them) so one person had to wait. When breakfasts finally arrived, we didn’t have cutlery and we had to go and ask for sauces. Maybe a busy service and stressed staff but just not acceptable!

I am regular client of this fantastic cafe where you can not only enjoy great coffee or food but also get some work done. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating and ample natural light. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, creating the perfect environment for productivity. The coffee menu is extensive, offering a wide range of options from espresso to specialty lattes. What sets this cafe apart is the provision of a designated workspace with charging outlets and reliable Wi-Fi. It's an ideal spot for remote work or studying. The background music is pleasant and not too distracting, adding to the overall experience. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure I have everything I need. The food menu is also impressive, with a variety of sandwiches, eggs (in various forms), salads, jackets, and pastries to keep you fueled throughout the day. Overall, this cafe is a perfect blend of a conducive work environment and excellent coffee. Whether you're looking to focus on your tasks or simply enjoy a leisurely coffee, it's a top-notch choice! :)

Good service and drinks were nice

Visited here for the first time.The staff were polite on entering the coffee shop. The place was clean and tidy. Ordered a black coffee and a cappuccino,did not have to wait long at all and I thought the cappuccino was one of the nicest I have had in a while.

I entered with a group of me and my family . We were browsing the menu and the lady abruptly and rudely said we are closing in 45 minutes and gave us a judgemental look . We then proceeded to say to each other okay we’ll leave and she said yes including herself in our conversation . She was not welcoming at all and extremely rude . We felt very judged by her .

Went for a coffee recommended by friend but we decided to have a quick lunch. I loved the mushroom sandwich. Staff was so nice and helpful. There's more seats upstairs as well

Esquires apart from being in a perfect location, opened early, and had a good menu. Their Eggs Benedict was delicious, as were the red velvet cakes. Lattes were perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was spotlessly clean.

I paid £7 for one piece of toast with a light spread of avacado on it. Shockingly over priced. Avoid

Always close upstairs early for "cleaning" literally hours before closing. Refused to allow me to go upstairs 3 hours before the cafe closed and on another occasion was made to come downstairs almost 2 hours before closing. The seats downstairs is more of a shared space and a completely different atmosphere, just uncomfortable. So frustrating!!!

Nice coffee shop across the road from John Lewis. A welcome change from Costa Coffee and Starbucks. Friendly staff.

Best cofee shop in leicester Need a loyalty card now please lol

Beautiful place and the vegan sausage rolls are fantastic. Coffee also spot on. People taking the orders and making the stuff also very nice.

Wonderful vibe and location. Great for studying, lots of sockets for laptops. Interior is lovely. Decent options for coffee, cakes and food.

Great staff, great coffee, great food

Great place to go if you want to be frustrated. Food and service of highly inconsistent quality. The free Wi-Fi DOES NOT WORK! Which is really ironic and also misleading given the amount of remote working infrastructure they have…

As I waited to be served, I watched the employee roll up his cigarette and had his back to me. I was disgusted watching him lick it, ew. The same worker was in the kitchen washing, when he knew I was there he muttered under his breath as he came over to serve. Overall a bad attitude.

Great café - good location, great coffee and the staff was super nice! Will definitively return

The staff were friendly and there is a nice relaxing upstairs area to sit whilst eating to watch the traffic outside. I had a tasty vegan sausage roll and jacket potato with avocado etc. My criticism would be that they need more vegan options, e.g. vegan sandwiches in the fridge, and vegan pastries/cakes. Otherwise, a nice place!

Coffee and Cake Time Nice little coffee shop. Plenty choice of coffees and teas and lunch time snacks. Presented well by nice friendly staff. Food was lovely nice and fresh and presented well. Seems a busy place too which is nice.The manager goes out of his way to make every thing perfect that’s the reason I keep going back The location is brilliant just over the road from John Lewis Recommended to all

Waited 25 minutes for a bacon bap which had 3 of the thinnest strips of bacon I’ve ever had in a take away bap. Essentially they forgot my order. £5.50 badly spent ☹️

Unfortunately the coffee and all hot drinks are always luke warm!! Everytime which is annoying and frankly a waste of money. I don’t know why this is the case, but it seems other reviewers have noticed the same. The Vege/vegan breakfast is mediocre and highly priced. Desserts are nice though, a great looking interior and choice of seasonal drinks.

The apple juice here is excellent

It was a nice place to have a brunch with my friend. We both ordered the full English which was delicious! I have also ordered the daim slice cake which was exquisite ! And the chai latte did not disappoint 👌🏾 Staff was friendly and welcoming.

Went on a Sunday morning. Staff member making the drinks was unfriendly. She got drinks order wrong, forgot one drink and then made one wrong. All drinks were lukewarm so had to drink quickly before they went cold. Food portions are small. Ordered a full English but half the plate was cold, the other half wasn’t very tasty. Overall, disappointed as usually enjoy Esquires (the other location) Gave 2 stars, mostly for the nice ambience and seating, and the new white choc hot choc was tasty. Not sure we’ll visit again.

Nice place, very well decorated, and very comfortable. The coffee is good but the pastries offers at the time we went there were very low. It would be complicated to go there to meet a group

Went especially for Turkish eggs but was told they couldn't make them, had eggs royale instead.

Friendly staff, delicious coffee, and relaxed decor.

Amazing coffee, delicious food and what's the most important - great customer service! My favourite coffee shop in Leicester ❤

My favourite coffee shop in Leicester. So many little touches that make the food, coffee and experience enjoyable.

I don't mind spending a little bit more if the extra I pay provides good value. This I believe was that. Good food, good choice and excellent service. My party and I left very happy.

Lovely coffee, friendly staff and cute atmosphere

Clean, friendly stuff, tasty coffee and food. Great interior design 👍🏻

Best coffee shop I have ever been to. Not overly expensive.

Good service, nice coffee, tasty cake

Fantastic lunch! , Tried the new Tirimisu frappe accompanied with goat and spinach tart and Turkey cheese sandwiches. 😋

Light and airy place. Loverly staff. Great coffee.

Coffee was a bit dark for my preference but tasty anyway. We also had some nice cakes and milkshakes for the kids which were expensive but greatly enjoyed!

Excellent coffee and good atmosphere

Good coffee and professional staff... haven’t sampled any food, stuck to caffeine on my visits, but looks good. No one (staff or customers) wearing masks on my visits and they could be stricter with customers on this, but appreciate the challenge of enforcing that so not factoring in the review.

They had a good Daim cake slice. Staff were impolite and ordered me to stay outside if I have no mask. I understand the rules but you could say please next time. Moreover, none of the 8 customers I saw had a mask on.

Very friendly polite staff on the tills. Upstairs was clean and tidy too withba nice ambience reminiscent of Cafe Nero.

Great coffee, knowledgeable and experienced baristas.

Excellent location. Same friendly staff from the other Esquires on New walk.
