Esquires Coffee in Richmond upon Thames

Coffee is super average. Been here a few times and it's not cheap. It's just ok. The place is clean. No comment on staff.

Visited 6 years ago & remembered the coffee, it didn’t disappoint still great coffee

Decent seating so I thought I’d try.. Terrible cappuccino- almost £4 for a small cup - which was only 2/3 full,-sadly won’t be returning as the so called cappuccino was terrible and small, barley foamed and tepid warm — shame as looks cosy!

Lovely atmosphere and more importantly very very nice service

I visited this coffee shop for the first time to enjoy some coffee and work, but I was surprised to learn that customers can only stay for an hour and a half unless they order additional items. This policy was communicated to me by a staff member with an unwelcoming demeanor, which made the experience feel uncomfortable. Overall, the staff's attitude was not friendly, and there are plenty of other cafes in Twickenham, like Press Room, Costa, and Starbucks, where you can work without such restrictions.

Some great food at a really reasonable price, and the service was fantastic - will have to try the Eggs Royale next time!

I highly recommend this place i had a coffee and it was the beat coffee i had after long time

So down in London for the weekend and finally persuaded my wife to try something different to Costa for breakfast, so headed to Esquires in Twickenham as I had been to the one in Aylesbury and it was great, we arrived at 9.05 to find the opening hours confirming a 9.00 opening we saw on google for Sundays and it was closed, waited for 10 minutes before we gave up… don’t advertise you open at 9 if you don’t.

The best place to have rest and they are very friendly

Great service, lovely people 👍 👏

Nice coffee shop. Recommended for coffee and gelato.

The staff here are so nice, and the ice cream and waffles are a favourite for me in Twickenham! I love this cafe, it's so comforting to go here!

service was lovely and the staff were super friendly, warm and accommodating - had a delicious iced pumpkin spice latte there

Great place nice coffee music to loud can't hear yourself think. Otherwise OK.

NO hollandaise sauce on Eggs Florentine.

I visited this cafe after some time . The standards are much better than the rest of the cafes in twickenham. The food is absolutely delicious and staff super friendly and helpful. 5 stars from me . Will visit again definitely

Great food and freshly made pastries.staff are very helpful and friendly.will visit again for sure. The flat white was what it should be. Much better then other cafes in twickenham.coffee is organic.

Good coffee and sweets but expensive and a little slow at getting the order prepared

Lovely staff, especially the gentleman that works here. He's always smiling, polite and always makes an effort with the customers. Comfy chairs too.

Lovely coffee shop and wonderful, kind and thoughtful staff. Particularly Soha. I left my bag and they very kindly found and kept for me to collect the next day. Thank you for being so wonderful.

Great coffee, good freshly made food Friendly and very helpful staff.i will visit again.I recommend coming at esquire’s coffee Twickenham. The best coffee and food in Twickenham.

Great place to have coffee and food.staff are friendly and helpful. Good place have meetings and work.

I can say without any hesitation Esquires served me the best coffee of my life. The food was delicious and the courteous service was exceptional. I enjoyed it so much I ordered another coffee. A black americano. It is, in my opinion, the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. The only problem is I live in the Northeast so have to wait before I can visit again. I think the owner is called Syd. Well thank you Syd, I dream about your coffee. The head of crema on my Americano was like the head on a Guinness. I’ve seen nothing like it. Ill be back for sure, this year.

Great venue for an intimate show. Much prefer this smaller venue to the main arena.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional service Sid provided during my recent visit to Esquires Coffee shop it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I stepped into the establishment, I was greeted with warm smiles.

Really poor quality food 2 eggs (clearly the cheapest you can possibly get) and cheap as chips white bread for 6.50. order coffee sit at the table and then be told to come and get your coffee instead of the server bringing it. 3.50 for is pretty much self service

Amazing service. Great staff.5 stars.

We decided to forgo the chain coffee houses and go to an independent. It was busy and they took my order promptly, however, the staff were more interested in having a personal chat than filling orders. Eventually the girl asked me to take a seat and that she would bring the coffee over. The coffee was weak and not hot enough. The tables needed a good clean and the dog-eared menus on the tables were rather off putting. I was also surprised that they allowed dogs inside the premises .

Such amazing and thoughtful staff. We always enjoy coming her with the kids. It’s a shame it is t bigger as occasionally getting space for 4 is tough. Lovely coffe!

I've been into this place about four times and the staff here are some of the rudest I've ever encountered, especially in such a friendly community as Twickenham. The woman on the till today didn't say hello or even acknowledge me. The male staff member, possibly the manager (?) has taken it a step further in the past with condescending, snide remarks for no apparent reason. I don't know who's responsible for staffing here but honestly you're letting an otherwise lovely community down. And the coffee isn't even good, so there's no reason to bother going at all. There are other, higher quality cafés around Twickenham. Never spending money here again, even for the sake of convenience.

INCREDIBLE, best coffee shop in Twickenham by far!

Great service and the staff are really polite. Wide choice of food and drinks. Highly recommend.

Our local coffee shop, have come here weekly for two years and always a pleasant greeting from the owner and nice coffee. Sweet and simple.

Esquires in Twickenham quickly became my go-to spot for a caffeine fix and a tasty bite. The staff here are absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and always ready with a warm smile. Food is always delicious (my favourite is the mushroom melt!) and the atmosphere is one where you can relax. Also helps that they allow and welcome dogs so I always pop in on my weekend walk!

I have visited several times as i live locally. The coffee is great and there is a good selection of baked goods and food. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful apart from the man who I think is the manager. Whenever I've been there he is quite grumpy and unfriendly. He seems to want to get rid of you so he can sit outside to have a cigarette and a coffee. With so many coffee shops in Twickenham I avoid going in if I can see it is him serving

Expensive but worth it, need to have sauce options to put on rolls

I had a catch up with an old friend at the cafe few days ago. The lady who served us managed to convenience my friend to try the green reviver, which he reluctantly accepted even though he hate kale. He tried and enjoyed the smoothie! Kudos to her! However I would have loved for the cafe to have more outdoor space, but due to the location of the cafe I understand why there are limited outside seat. The cafe is lovely and the staff are great. Location is central and walking distance to everything in Twickenham. Unfortunately I'm not able to comment about the delicious food they had, but will come back again for those. Can't give a full 5 star as I can't comment on the food.

Nice venue, had oat milk latte and a bite to eat. Staff are helpful and friendly.

My friend and I go most Fridays very nice place , people friendly, good service, busy place

Good customer service. Pleasant atmosphere. Nice place.

Great visit today! Yaz was so friendly and made great recommendations. My husband was thrilled with the raspberry coconut bar and Victoria sponge cake! (Yes, he ate them both!😋) The coffee was hot and flavorful and the atmosphere was cozy. If we lived locally, we'd be here all the time! Stop in! You won't be disappointed!

My first visit here while in the area. The staff were helpful, friendly & more than happy to make my drink a specific way. Nicely presented, clean & tidy with plenty of seating. They also have a lovely selection of food. Definitely worth a visit.

Nice & convenient for a coffee + a bite to eat

One of the best gelato ice cream ever in the UK after Turkiye (where I am originally from). Again, it is delicious. Strongly recommend it.

The coffee is nice, but the pastries and cakes are incredibly overpriced. Similarly, a jacket potato is a minimum £3.5 with no toppings. The tall man behind the counter was quite rude and pretty much chucked the teaspoon to my girlfriend. Not visiting again.

The staff were very rude and need to more training dealing with customers!! I wanted a small breakfast so I asked for the kids breakfast (as it’s small!) but i was told I wasn’t a child so couldn’t have it. She proceeded to argue with me that it was cheap because it was for children, not the fact it was a small meal. I gave up arguing and ordered sided to make up a kids breakfast instead. CRAZY!! Nice food eventually…

The Nutella hot chocolate is amazing

As several other reviews comment the staff here are off-hand bordering on rude. The first time I went I thought it perhaps a one-off so gave them the benefit of the doubt and returned. I think the service and attitude was even worse the second time. The place was quiet on both occasions whist nearby alternatives were busy - I think I know why !

I was never asked to leave a place before. Apparently there is a maximum stay of hour and a half. My partner and I were there yesterday, we had two meals and two rounds of coffee each. Before I even had a chance to finish my second coffee we were asked to leave our table (it was a single table for two people) because other people need to sit. The attitude towards the quantity of customers not the customer itself shocked me. Never coming to this place again. Not that Twickenham lacks good cafes anyways. Harris & Hoole, Soul, Press room (just to name a few) where costumers are treated with respect.

Wonderful venue, great coffee, hot chocolate and cakes, with excellent service as usual.

Coffee was ok, but the staff were offhand and unhelpful generally. I asked for some hot water and was given a small glass container and was not warned that it was boiling hot. I had to ask them to put it in a cup which I could carry to the table without burning myself.. The visit was topped off by one of the staff telling us that if we didn’t order another coffee we would have to leave because they needed the tables. I won’t be returning.

Food is good! The owner is very nice and friendly, and the place is very cozy too!!

Fantastic coffee shop, nice food, reasonable prices and very friendly service.

Visit regularly for good reasons. Think it’s franchised but made most welcome & always remembered by regular staff - unusual these days. Coffees are great & food menu extensive - all fresh, made to order & nicely presented. Good to support an independent

Great place with a lovely atmosphere

Visited here for Sunday brunch and ordered a full English, vegan breakfast and beans on toast. Everyone was more than happy and service was great too.

Coffee is quite disappointong / real average, i'm so disappointed because i was looking forward to try it when reading the cafe review. Bought coffee and cake and asked for the wifi password, was told right away 'you can only stay here for 1.5 hours, we're busy'. Hm, ok fair enough. Great point on accommodating gluten free & vegan. Still, i won't come back.

staff were blunt and didn't bring the coffee to our table even when we asked politely as we wanted to get a start on our work. furthermore the coffee was a little cold and we were only allowed to stay in the shop for an hour until being asked to buy another drink.

- Staff weren't friendly, they brought other peoples coffee to them but when we asked politely as we wanted to start our studying they spoke in a rude manner and refused - Didn't like the coffee - too much foam and mug was too big - *** If you're going here to study they only allow you to stay for 1hr 30 mins otherwise you need to make another purchase *** I don't recommend this cafe

My favourite and go to place for breakfast and of course organic coffee. Best staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The staff are super friendly, nice cozy and quite coffee shop. Price is reasonable, we had coffee and soup, both are average taste.

Absolutely lovely place with very friendly staff. Great food and brilliant atmosphere. Thanks for looking after us we love coming here even the 🐶

Poor customer service, the lady who served us at the counter was rude and told us we needed to give up our table after being seated for just 15 mins. I was made to feel I was an inconvenience rather than a valued customer! I would advise to steer clear and choose somewhere else if you wish to be treated with dignity and respect.

Great friendly customer focused service.

Great coffee, and even better cake!

Very good and nice service. Delicious coffee.

Lovely friendly staff and quality food and drinks. They do need to speed us the service though, perhaps employ more staff - challenging in the current financial climate I know.

Visited with my mother who uses a wheelchair. The outlet is clean and bright with plenty of space for the wheelchair. I had a large white Americano while my mother had tea. The person taking our order suggested using one of the tables at the back of the shop as these are better for chair users and said that she would bring our order when it was ready. The tea came in a pot on a small wooden tray. It was a good large leaf tea, which was possibly too delicate for my mother (who is of age age where flavours need to be strong). However, she liked the toasted teacake she had also ordered and took half home in a bag provided by the server when she saw mother wrapping it in a serviette. Little touches made the experience more memorable. Milk is served in small glass bottles. The butter for the teacake came in a decorated expression cup and that tray for the teapot. A cartwheel converted into a ceiling light. Decorative ceiling roses used to break up a boring white wall. We enjoyed our visit and I expect that we will make another visit sometime soon. Update following a recent visit. I had a pot of tea today. It really is an outstanding tea. Delicate with a gorgeous aroma. Do try it for yourself, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I believed it to be an independent shop whilst actually it is part of a group, a brand with branches spread around London. The place is nicely designed for comfort, making you feel like you are having a cup in your living room at home. Few visits and the staff has always shown kindness and welcoming attitude. Recognition came immediately on my second visit. Coffee tastes good and it is served in nice chinaware. Food too seems freshly made and good. Recommended.

Customer service level very low. They shout in order to ask you if you want some chocolate powder on top of your cappuccino. They charge a lot of money for a very poor service. The cake slices are served wrapped on basic cling film they don’t even do the effort to remove the plastic charging £2.50 for a very small cake slice

I visited esquires coffee twickenham staff is absolutely friendly and very helpful. Organic Coffee and fresh food. 5 stars.

There was a brunette girl at the checkout, she got our service late from chatting with her friend, and she wasn't friendly. I wanted to buy myself a coffee as a reward after the gym, but I came across something ridiculous,

My sister and I have enjoyed coffee and cake here a few times now. The service has always been great, the staff are friendly and so accommodating. Tasty scones and cake selection.

This is a little gem in Twickenham. The service is always brilliant and the coffee is great too! Would highly recommend. They also have plug sockets on every table so it’s so easy to get work done if you need to.

Love this coffee shop. My mum and I go there weekly and we're never disappointed with the service and the quality of coffee and cakes. We much prefer their coffee to any of the chains, and the friendly service we get keeps us coming back every time we're in Twickenham.

The staff Said I can only use the laptop for 1 hour and a half otherwise I have to buy more.

Love coming here to do work. Lots of tables with outlets near them. The staff is very friendly and always makes you feel at home.

Great coffee, pastries could be better

Family run, friendly, clean and great choice of food and drink. Happy to frequent as the owners really care!

Great coffee shop! Lovely to work in with the little booths

We used to go in all the time, with my daughter, sister and nephew, my daughter went in one day to buy a drink and ask to use their toilet and the response she received from the boss was outrageous, we refuse to go there now, especially as he knew who my daughter was, he shouted at her loudly which made her anxiety all the worse and came home crying, I wouldn't bother unless you want a rude response to a perfectly good question!

Excellent Coffee, staff were awesome and even went out out of the way to get the coffee to me while I was outside. 5 stars! Awesome place, you’re paying for what you’ll get - excellent value!

I ordered a Deliveroo delivery of 2 Eggs Benedict and an Eggs Royale. All were disappointing. They all needed a whole lot more hollandaise sauce and the eggs were very strange and rubbery (re-heated poached eggs?). These were poor value for money and I won't be buying again.

Good comfortable.place. food and service was exceptional

An absolute pleasure to visit as the staff are warm and welcoming and then getting a coffee and enjoying one of many treats on offer the food is really good and esquires offer a wide and varied options for all tastes and dietary needs.. and then theres the coffee made to order just how I like it using organic coffee ethically sourced and roasted to perfection it is by far my favourite place to get my coffee and to sit awhile watching people or surfing the Internet on free wifi.. the coffee is the best in Twickenham so if in the area pop in a give your taste buds a real treat..

Always a great atmosphere here. The staff are brilliant, always cheerful, efficient and helpful. The place is clean and bright. The drinks are great. I couldn’t ask for more out of a coffee shop - it’s a daily stop on my walk to work! I’d encourage everyone to treat themselves to a well priced coffee down there sometime soon.

Worst breakfast ever , I took one bite of the hash brown and spit it out straightaway. It was HORRIBLE and all DRY !! I should have take it home and use it as a door stopper !! The bacon bap have seen better days , bread was stale , bacon was burned …. This cafe deserves an Oscar for WORST FOOD EVER AVOID AVOID & AVOID Wish I could give it a ZERO star but it doesn’t let you !!

Staff is really friendly, the interior is cute and the coffee delicious. Bit portions too!

My favourite coffee shop! Fast service and lots of comfy seating. The prices are pretty much the same as every coffee shop in the area

Consistently good coffee in Esquires, comfy seats and free newspapers. Their Brownies are very solid and sweet, I won't have them again

Yummy vegan sausage roll and banana loaf 😍😍😍

Love the mushroom melt toasted sandwich! Very grateful that staff member carried on working despite being alone & having to limit options.

Why are you still open? I have been to your Twickenham branch three times. Never, ever again. First time: male operative preparing food sneezed massively onto his arm then continued with food prep. Second time: hostility from female server who objected to … actually I don’t know what her problem was Third time: 1st Dec. My young daughter wanted a hot choc so against my better judgement we went to Esquires. Male server left us standing for a few mins -he was doing nothing so we thought maybe he doesn’t take orders. Then he approached the counter and said “yeah”. Not “ hi, how can I help?” I ordered the hot chocolate. Or tried to. It was 4:35 and his response was a hostile “we close at 5”. That’s it. Nothing else. We took that to mean “I want to leave work as soon as I can and if you buy a drink I might be delayed” We got a wonderful welcome at Costa! See ya, Esquires!

I went in this coffee shop, it was a little bit busy but not that much, once it was my turn at the cashier I ordered a piece of cake and a panini, the guy promptly charged me only the cake so when I pointed it out he said he couldn't give me the panini 'cause it was too busy for them to prepare it. I toke my cake and I had a sit until a man went there and ordered the same panini and they just gave to him. So I went there again asking for a clarification about it with a manager I think, which very rudely rolled the eyes and finally gave me what I wanted saying that this will be an exception for me only because I'm pregnant, and the man that I saw few minutes ago ordered it 40 minutes ago which was a lie. I should have left straight away but I was with a friend and I didn't want to make a scene. This still an unacceptable situation, it never happened to me before that a coffee shop refused to sell food because they're too busy, you should hire more people and give to the costumes what they ask for and pay for (which was even expensive) that's it!

Fantastic service and good, strong coffee. Sid and his team been keeping us well-caffinated for years.

Great little coffee shop. Loved it.

We went as a group of 4 adults and 3 toddlers - the staff made us feel very welcome and comfortable. I had the spiced beet latte which I enjoyed! Every staff member we dealt with was pleasant and friendly. Definitely will return.

Nice little small chian coffee shop
