Esquires Coffee in Caerphilly

The food and coffee are good, but the service consistently disappoints. Whether it's takeout or delivery, there's always something missing. When you call to let them know, it's the same old apology and a promise to get it right next time, but it never actually improves. Today, I just wanted two takeaway lattes, which seems pretty straightforward. However, the confusion started when two people ahead of me ordered the same thing. It seemed like they thought both orders were for the same person, so they didn't make mine. Even after people who ordered after me got their orders first, the staff claimed someone stole my order off the counter. I was standing there the whole time, and no one did that. Everyone is nice, but the constant mistakes really bring down the overall experience. Considering the cost and the service, you're better off going to Gregs just two doors down.

Ordered eggs Benedict. Eggs came out almost raw. Sent it back to be redone and they came back out in the same raw state. They forgot the coffee and the scones were stale. Not good T all!

The breakfast ist delicious. Nothing to complain. Highly recommended. During our stay in Cearphilly at Travelodge we visited this Café almost every day. The service was also great. They even opened earlier on the day we legt, so we're able to have a good breakfast again. Thank you!

Came here for breakfast found it quite expensive the eggs benedict are more expensive than The Ivy….. Food was acceptable, chai latte wasn’t great. Was expensive as stated above. It’s local to us so will probably come again.

Was staying at a horrible hotel (Bryn Meadows) and even though I paid for breakfast, there was no way I was having it there.. I was pleased to find this place, open early, lovely selection of foods, fresh orange juice and really nice staff and atmosphere with lots of real plants! Really enjoyed it! Everything I had came with a price tag, but I was happy to pay ecause of the quality, atmosphere, staff, etc.

Cafe was clean but very noisy. Radio was too loud. Menus not on the table and not easily visible. Poached eggs were very small. Bagel was nice but expensive. Disappointed with the cake. Won't bother again.

Very expensive - granola bowl was just yogurt, some frozen berries and some shop brought granola. No nuts or chia seeds as advertised! £6.95 for this!! Found the coffees very expensive and weak! Wouldn’t return!

Bought two pieces of cake to take out, charged £10.50, got them home , very small slices and stale , disappointing.

Not a great selection for kids Avacado still frozen in the middle Menu items not clearly labelled- ham and cheese toastie, loads of mustard Build up of carbon on grill / toaster machine Coffee good Dog friendly Nice cake selection & outside seating

Such a shame that this establishment allows dogs to sit on the seating while eating/licking the plates & tables. Absolutely disgusting 🤢 Won’t be visiting after what we saw today

Great atmosphere from this great quality coffee shop. Awesome cakes and great food, including nice cooked breakfasts all day. Would recommend. Only a couple of minutes from the local lake with ducks and wildfowl so a good place for a walk, finishing with a coffee and cake! Like it so much I visit way too often!

Visit here regularly for coffee and cake or sometimes breakfast/lunch. The eggs royale are superb! Friendly staff, clean and can always get a table.

We had stayed in the Travelodge after a family get together the night before, so needed somewhere for a decent breakfast before heading home. What a find this place was. Just around the corner, with parking available. Great menu, helpful friendly service, top quality coffee and mugs of tea. The service was quick and the food delicious. My wife and I had the full English, while my 90 year old had just a round of toast with butter and jam. No fried eggs option, so I had poached and my wife had scrambled. The breakfasts were just right, with enough to satisfy the appetite without being over facing. The cafe itself is clean and modern, with good seating inside and out. The toilets were clean and fresh smelling. All round, this was an excellent experience - highly recommended.

Lovely interior, nice coffee but to pay £7.40 for two coffees is ridiculous. Shame but I will frequent other places before going here purely just for that .

Have been a few times for coffee. Tried here for brunch as a couple. we both had the eggs benedict and it was cooked perfectly. The staff were really friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn't fault this coffee shop, the staff are so welcoming, place is spacious with plenty of seating inside &out, menu is varied, reasonably priced with many healthy&veg/vegan options available. The coffee is one of the best I've had in a long time and I drink...

Esquires is a gem of a coffee shop.Excellent food with fast and friendly service. Order at the counter or use the newly introduced table service. Scan the QR code, order from the comfort of your table and have your food and drinks delivered to you....

Came here for breakfast this morning, it was very busy with only one person serving food to the tables. Food took a while to arrive with mine arriving a good ten minutes before my husband’s! Coffee was lovely and we enjoyed our food, think the...

Lovely place, great service, lovely coffee, nice cooked breakfast but ... 1. Would love them to add Toasted Tea Cakes to the menu. 2. Beans on Toast should be Beans ON Toast not beans at the side of unbuttered toast. Why not just ask if...

Visited here for breakfast a few times over the past two weeks while staying in the area for work. Food very reasonably priced, freshly made and tasty. Wide choice of coffees available. Staff a very friendly and always smiling

Loved this place for breakfast and lunch when we were in Caerphilly. Staff great, food great and place great. No waiting and food is done expertly. So convenient to the travel lodge. We will be back soon.

The coffees here are great which is always good when your main function is a coffee shop. Unfortunately the breakfasts aren't anything special, the "oven baked" tomato was almost as tough as the bacon, and the field mushroom was only half a mushroom (are mushrooms...

I've visited many times recently and really love this place. Only had egg on toast with coffee but always spot on. Great service too. The best coffee in Caerphilly in my view. Very safe there in these Covid times. Such a pity that they've had...

I came to Esquires today to try their coffee for the first time. They have released a Pumpkin spiced latte which I’ve never tried! Unreal!!!!!!! Will defo be returning! Amazing service and lovely staff!

Being a fussy coffee drinker, Esquires do lovely coffee. I have been there a few times, and found the atmosphere and the staff are friendly. They have good Covid measures of social distancing, santizer and track and trace 👍🏼🙂

Felt very uncomfortable. The staff questioned my living situation which i stated i live in the same household with 3 other students. The staff kept listening to our conversations and walking past trying to hear what we are discussing. They questioned us several times which...

Wow, after having a guts full of poor service and reduced opening hours at Costa in town centre, I was recommended Esquires. Wow, where have I been to miss this place. They open at 7am, serve everything plus bar for eve meals. Clean, pleasant, and...

We have been here a few times for breakfast which has ranged from excellent ( when first opened) to good. We decided to come for an evening meal as we heard they were doing food, we both had the pulled beef chilli, service was extremely...

Been twice lately to check this new place out and taking advantage of the 50% off Mon-Wed deal to do so. First meal was evening time and we had a really lovely lasagne each with plenty of mozzarella cheese. The salad and chips were good...

Just love this place on my doorstep, feels like an independent, superb ambient feeling inside good friendly customer service nice all day menu and now added seating outside to relax. I can’t keep away

To call Esquire a coffee shop it’s a bit unfair as it’s much more. I had breakfast there and the coffee, food and service were all excellent. Much better than the chains that are available and seems to be so popular I suppose I have...

An absolute gem tucked away in one of Caerphilly’s hot spots. Decor is on point and the food, ambiance and drinks are top quality. Just what Caerphilly needs and to cater for everyone so attentively during a pandemic - gets 5 stars from me!

I'm not sure how long they have been open but a very nice coffee shop with friendly staff. I ordered a 3.95 tuna baguette from the sandwich board and was charged 4.95. I didn't mention as I was just appreciative of them working during covid...

We've been living on this estate for over 20 years, and while we have been spoiled for choice with three excellent takeaways, we have really missed out on a decent coffee shop. We now have a SUPERB one! We visited for the first time at...

I've visited here four times. The first twice the food was amazing. The last twice I've been it's been dismal. I had scrambled eggs and bacon. The scrambled eggs were tasteless and bitty and the bacon was so hard you couldn't cut with a knife...

Visited this place a couple of times now, and it's a gem. Amazing new coffee shop, also offering great food - brunch menu in particular is delicious. And staff are great too - very welcome addition to caerphilly

Visited here today had a nice breakfast . Coffee is very nice . Poached egg on toast very tasty will return.
