Esquires Coffee in Crawley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great spot for a delicious coffee and a pastry. Beautifully served by a friendly cashier - well done! Very clean well set out and great position at the front of the Mall!

Have visited a few times now and each time have been greeted by courteous and friendly staff. Coffee is great and the store looks amazing. Well worth a visit

The eggs Benedict was one of the best I've had in crawley and the presentation was very nice as well nice friendly staff and great atmosphere would love to come back

Disappointed My Cortadk and double espresso were bitter sour and unpalatable. Prices too high - cakes looked unappealing and overpriced. Ambience is so-so Service disappointing the staff gave me a dirty look when I asked for a straw and sighed. I won’t be back ! From their own website 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 WHY DOES MY COFFEE TASTE BITTER OVER EXTRACTION Over extraction in coffee brewing occurs when there's too much contact time or too fine a grind is used, leading to excessive extraction of unwanted compounds from the coffee grounds. This includes bitter-tasting compounds such as tannins and chlorogenic acids. When coffee is over extracted, these bitter compounds overpower the pleasant flavours, resulting in a bitter and harsh taste. Achieving the perfect balance of extraction is crucial in brewing coffee to highlight its desirable flavours while avoiding the bitterness that can ruin the overall taste experience.

So a few weeks have passed since my first visit which was very disappointing but this time a totally different experience. It’s like a different establishment, great coffee, more organised, sandwiches now well separated and wrapped to protect them from cross contamination, cakes all separated well. Really pleased it’s found its feet and I hope it continues to grow and do well

Aesthetically pleasing, very spacious, staff friendly but coffee a big let down, very little flavour, flat white was all foam. I feel this is going to be yet another coffee shop trying to be trendy but with no sustenance. Hoping they’ll get better with time but a new opening kinda needs to get it right off the bat. Looking at sandwich display they look nice in the display fridge but all are un wrapped which would be fine if dividers are in use but had different filled baguettes touching each other with different allergens such as tuna melt baguette touching a coronation chicken baguette, not great cross contamination control. Also had cake’s potentially containing nuts on the shelf above these open sandwiches which for me is a big no no. So much potential but a long way to go

Coffee shop in Crawley library. I had a cappuccino here a while back and it was so good that I thought it must have been a fluke. However I have had three more cappuccinos here in the past two days and they were all excellent. It really is good coffee. Plenty of seating inside and outside.
