Esquires Coffee in Coventry

As it was half-time school holidays, I was on Nana duty and decided to take my two grandsons into town and they always love to go to a Café whilst there. The issue we often have is my eldest grandson is Coeliac so has to have gluten-free food. I had already contacted Baxter Baristas to see if they offered suitable GF food for a child and they responded promptly and informed me they did. Both of my grandsons had the child's picnic bag - a first that they could both choose the same thing. My eldest grandson ate and enjoyed his food. I would also point out that he is very sensitive to gluten and the slightest bit can make him very poorly. Cross-contamination is a risk with GF food, clearly in preparation this had been addressed and dealt with carefully and properly. I highly recommend this Café, staff were pleasant and helpful, the environment felt child-friendly and my grandsons found it hilarious that there was bicycles on the walls! To be able to take my grandson into a cafe where he has options and we can feel safe he won't be poorly is a joy. Strongly recommend this lovely place.

Had another excellent lunch box delivered today. Fresh, tasty and great value. There was plenty of food for four and my friends were really impressed with Baxter's Barista take away menu. They agreed on 5 stars.

Can’t thank Baxter Baristas enough! Ordered an afternoon tea delivery to my parents for their 50th anniversary, they were over the moon. The food was excellent & the especially loved the scones. Easy to order, have delivered, and pay, no hassle at all. Excellent service, would definitely recommend 👍❤️

Baxter baristas delivered an amazing afternoon tea for me and my team to my work. I only ordered the day before and it arrived exactly as per my request. The food was so lovely and fresh and so much of it! Thank you so much

A superb experience! My friend was delighted with his club sandwich. I had the eggs on toast. Much more filling than I expected!!! Quality of food and staff, GREAT!!!

This cafe is situated right next to the foyer of the Transport Museum and has a chilled out atmospere and plenty of seating. I'd been before, but never for breakfast. Service was efficient as before and credit too for continuing to serve great quality loose leaf teas. What let our breakfast down was the bread: what the menu referred to as "bloomer" was standard supermarket white sliced bread and the soughdough served with the poached eggs was barely toasted. For £5.50 a portion, we thought this was a bit weak.

We visited here to meet a family member but the smell of the coffee was to tempting not to order one . The last who served us was very polite and friendly. On ordering the lady who served us said the code to the toilet was on our coffee recept. The cafe was clean and I liked the decor. The toilets were equally as clean. The coffee was lovely and we would definitely return .

After what seemed an age for my breakfast bearing in mind the place was empty at lunchtime. I was very disappointed . An half slice of bacon. a poor quality sausage, unseasoned tomato and poached eggs that resembled two hard boiled eggs. Nice mushrooms, beans, sourdough bread and a hash brown. Definitely not worth the almost £10 cost. I have been to this establment before and although more expensive the quality of breakfast was very good but it's gone well down hill since my last visit. Won't be eating here again.

Slow service, undercooked food, dirty tables, filthy floor, no napkins. Underwhelmed. No, I wont be going back.

I come here every few months to meet a dear friend, always lovely food and good service. Lovely coffee too. Dog friendly and a nice atmosphere.

Baxter was used for a Birthday home delivery for my Mum In Bulkington . She was so delighted, the service was first class. She was so impressed by the delivery (where the representative donned a Hat and White Coat and wished her a Happy Birthday). From there she looked at the box and there was a fantastic array of Sandwiches, Salad, Cake, Scones (with clotted cream and jam), cookies, strawberries and grapes in a fantastic presentation box. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone thinking of using a Afternoon Tea gift for a loved one

Cycled here from Ipswich for their 'Coventry Godcakes' a lesser well-known regional pastry. Baxters was an oasis in central Coventry situated next to the transport museum. Stacey was very welcoming and hospitable (even let me leave my bike in a safe place). Had the Baxters full English - which was excellent and the usb charging points were much appreciated. The Godcakes were excellent.

Great selection of food and great service, would highly recommend them and will be using them again when we have next event

I have been scathing about this cafe in the past but wow what a transformation, it really has been turned around, clean as a whistle, attentive staff and a good selection of fresh food, drinks, snacks and cakes. Well done its great to see this cafe back on form.

I have attended business networking events in the morning with breakfast and the afternoon with hot and cold buffet food on numerous occasions. I have also attended catered for private events where we have had the sole use of the whole premises. Oh, I have also taken my well-behaved pooch with me on numerous visits(!) I absolutely love the warm and welcoming atmosphere, high level of customer service, the decor and.. it is highly accessible close to buses and many car parks… Looking forward to my return in a couple of weeks!

I arranged to have refreshments delivered to a business meeting. Very easy to arrange, all refreshments arrived on time & great selection. I will definitely use this service again & highly recommend them,

A fantastic afternoon tea was delivered to my Mum for Mothering Sunday. The friendly and cheerful delivery helped make my Mums day. All the lunch was lovely and fresh and the chocolate strawberries was a fantastic touch! Very well done to the entire team👍👍

I had the afternoon tea delivered, such a treat being housebound. The sandwiches were a lovely selection ,the salmon was delicious as were the chocolate strawberries. The scone with the clotted cream was very good. The assortment of cakes and fruit treats were very good,...

Really great way to start and or to end your visit to the Transport Museum! I only had a coffee but that and the service were excellent.

Cannot fault the afternoon tea I had organised for delivery to my parents for their 60th anniversary. The presentation was beautiful with a lovely assortment of sandwiches , salad, scones with clotted cream and jam. Cakes and cookies and strawberries . They loved it and...

I used to order from the delivery menu when I was isolating during the pandemic and looked forward to the lovely fresh food being delivered. I ordered again at the weekend and I certainly was not disappointed with the delicious afternoon tea for two delivered...

No longer an Esquires, this is now Baxter's Baristas (under same management) - with new menus, new logo, new window art, and quite a few new staff! Congrats to the team. Whatever you're up to, Baxter's Baristas is a good meeting spot in Coventry city...

Met a friend here for coffee. We were going to have lunch but struggled to find a clean table, so decided not to risk it. There are better coffee houses in Coventry centre where more attention is paid to hygiene.

We popped in for takeaway sandwiches at lunch time. There was a good selection available. We decided on tuna paninis; one warm, one cold. Both were delicious. They also came with a small salad and crisps which we were not expecting. We also had a...

We visited before Christmas to find every table stacked with dirty tableware and general detritus to the point that our coffees were served in disposable cups. Today visited again to find no improvement. Every table was scattered with crumbs and food waste having not been...

The afternoon tea arrived and tasted as delicious as it looked.There was plenty and so we saved some for later. It arrived well packaged and I would definitely order from them again and well deserved five stars

This place has seriously nosedived, a small selection of stale cakes, unhappy staff milling around whilst nearly every table is piled high with dirty tableware, dirty tables, dirty floor, what a shame.

Nice mocha and hot chocolate made with soya at no extra cost which was great (get fed up of being charged 50p for plant base milk), very pleasant lady serving think her name was Kirsty. Nice cafe

Visited last weekend and had a terrible experience from start to finish. The first issue was a long hair found in my partner’s milkshake. Then the food came out - my partner had ordered scrambled eggs on toast (as described on the menu) but they...

Such a wonderful idea to hold afternoon teas in the gardens. Very well organised, delicious sandwiches and attentive, friendly staff. The live music was also a lovely addition. Well done to all concerned. It was a real treat for old school friends to enjoy an...

We ordered some toasties (together with drinks) which were well presented, tasty and good value for money

We went for afternoon tea on Sunday and it was delightful. The food was good and the staff were very obliging. It evoked wonderful memories for me as when I was a little girl, my Gran used to take me into the garden on a...

I took my mum for an afternoon tea in the nearby Lady Herberts Garden. It was well organised, a lovely location, beautiful food and service. A real treat. Would recommend. 👍

Ordered a cream tea for five to celebrate my father in law's 95 th birthday. Opted to collect as he is housebound and we didn't know exactly what time we would be there for delivery. Service was excellent, the staff behind the counter were aware...

Sunday morning, tables left with dirty stuff everywhere with a member of staff just standing behind the counter with her arms folded. The lad serving made a decent coffee but zero interaction. A bit rubbish all around pardon the pun

We decided to have a coffee break when visiting the Transport Museum next door. Had a very long wait (10-15 minutes) to be served even though there was no one else waiting so did feel slightly irritated. Coffee was disappointingly weak too.

First time, loved it, spacious,modern, felt comfortable. Went to a dog cafe day brilliant meeting other doggies & there owners. Made me feel welcome, best cappuccino I have ever tasted reasonable priced. Cakes looked very tasty too!

This is a great place for coffee and a nibble. It has the most engaging staff, tasty cakes and great tasting coffee in big mugs. It's also in an ideal location next to the Transport Museum. It's all good :-)

I was looking for a venue to meet a client in Coventry and Esquires was recommended. The place was modern, spacious and the service received was professional. I ordered coffee and cake and both were delicious, so will definitely use this venue again.

We used Steven and his team for a function for 100 people and OMG did they deliver. The whole process was so easy from the easy choice, to the prompt delivery and the presentation was very classy. The food came in beautiful presentation boxes and...

Went on a speed dating event with Love Speed Dating at the coffee house. Coffee and cake was great and the staff were lovely. Had a great night and would definitely return again

Decor and interior is stunning - beautiful surroundings to have a nice coffee in. Service was great and staff really friendly. Will be coming back when in the area again!

We asked Esquires to cater for us for a week long event. They helpfully provided us with bagged lunches, catered for a number of dietary requirements and coped well with changes during the week. The lunches were delivered on time each day and were enjoyed...

Booked a Corporate Sandwich lunch to be delivered from Esquires for a high-level business meeting. The food arrived exactly on time, was delicious and was even labelled so there was no doubt about what anything was. On top of that, the service was brilliant with...

After a tour around the excellent Motor Museum the Squeeze and I were looking for a good coffee and a tasty light bite and were delighted to fall into Esquires which delivered both. Spacious and light with a friendly staff. Recommended.

Amazing, delicious, freshly cooked food. So many options for my family who have dairy and gluten intolerances. Lovely, polite friendly staff too.

When you leave the house at 8:15 to make it into work for 8:00 you need a coffee. If you get out of the shower and sit on the end of the bed facing the wall in just a towel for 45 minutes, you need...

Visited the cafe for lunch after going around the Transport Museum. Very glad that we did as they had plenty of lunch items to choose from and lots of yummy cakes. Staff were extremely friendly and the shop was very clean. Will be returning

Amazing coffee, food and service! Plenty of breakfast and lunch items to choose from. Lots of delicious cakes too. Another bonus is that they are dog friendly! Would definitely recommend!!

Visited for Lunch. Plenty of options for lunch and the cakes were amazing. I had the meatball ciabatta and the honeycomb tiffin, absolutely delicious! Also had a latte and it was the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. Store is very clean and staff are very...

Absolutely love this place, the food is amazin, staff always helpful and nice. I like that there’s a lot of choices for kids as well in terms of drinks and food. Will definitely come back and recommend to all of my friends x

My family and I have been here on several occasions, and each time we’ve always really enjoyed it. Great range of drinks and food and really good service. My latest visit was just the same- great coffee and lovely cake!

Great place to study, either alone or with friends. Their coffee is delicious as well as their avocado toasts!

Ordered in the morning and received by lunch time. Absolutely gorgeous afternoon tea. Excellent value for money and extremely tasty. Would definitely recommend

This coffee house shares the Coventry Transport Museum's building and is situated at the entrance. (There is an access through to the musuem entrance but it was closed when I was there, due to Covid restirctions I expect!) After spending an enjoyable time in the...

Having been really impressed with their office based catering services which they offer for local businesses on a few occasions, I visited Esquires with about 15 people yesterday from a networking group as they had the space and were covid compliant. First time our group...

I visited Esquires Coventry for a business group social and I just have to say that the coffee (flat white with oat milk) was the best I’ve ever tasted and the food that they served this awkward vegan was just amazing. Great value and there...

We called in for brunch on a day out. Really impressive menu and selection of drinks. The service was excellent and the drinks and food first class. Would highly recommend Esquires.

Ordered afternoon tea for 2 for father's day. I emailed to see if they could change some of the fillings, which they did. He absolutely loved it, food was fresh, tasted amazing and service was fantastic. Will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Went in to order drinks, asked for a smoothie, but was told none available, so asked for chai latte which was on the menu, but told no chai available. Then ordered tea and coffee, which when charged for was different to the advertised price (the...

Excellent attentive ordering, contacted via the website, prompt replies and adaptable for allergies and food choices. beautifully presented and delivered on time at the mutually agreed time. food was delicious and very plentiful. really good value for money

We popped next door for lunch having just been to the Museum. Covid19 secure etc like most places with helpful staff. we both had a ciabatta bread sandwich hotted up along with a cake each and hot choc - all very good especially the hot choc.

Really enjoyed the coffee and well done on social distance measures will be back again for some more!

We called in to Esquires on 29.08.2020 for a quick bite for lunch so just had 3 warmed bagettes (which came with crisps and a small salad, nicely dressed) and 3 bottled drinks.This is a straightforward coffee shop in the centre of Coventry next to the Transport Museum and it was pleasant enough although nothing particularly stood out. The staff were friendly and cheerful but the only disappointing aspect was that, even though there weren't many people in when we visited our order seemed to take an age to arrive at the table just to have 3 pre-made sandwiches warmed upI have no real objections to the place but I'm struggling to say that it is any better than just average

I had the vegan lunch box delivered and was not disappointed, the vegan sausage rolls, sandwiches and cakes were all delicious. Enough food to share and a reasonable price. Will certainly be ordering again!

Always a great cup of coffee at Esquires, along with a great selection of fresh ciabatta and cakes. They are managing Social Distancing really well and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Esquires Coffee is my go to place, the staff are second to none and they go out of their way for you giving you the best experience in town. This review is all about the afternoon tea boxes, I had arranged an order of the afternoon tea boxes to celebrate my best friends birthday, with eating in not yet possible I got it to take away ... And we were blown away! The variety and quantity was outstanding for the price. Real value for money in my opinion, it lasted all through the afternoon and games, even popping back to it in the evening for dessert! HahaFresh sandwiches, great desserts, I couldn't have anything bad to say. Kudos to the whole team and to Jade who was there to happily chat with when picking them up from store. Very happy indeed and all in all a brilliant birthday celebration

I ordered an afternoon tea to be delivered for my daughter's birthday, and was not sure what to expect, this was hands down one of the best afternoon teas we have ever had, and the timing of the delivery was almost minute perfect. Would recommend to everyone 100%

Decided to buy this tea box as a surprise treat for our daughter to kick start her 21st birthday weekend and we were not disappointed. The food was fresh, plentiful and tasted so good. It’s the second box we have tried and with the prompt return of messages/requests and friendly home delivery service we will definitely be ordering again. Keep up the great work guys!!

I have just had afternoon tea which was delivered to me at home. It was totally yum. A nice variety of sandwiches and sweet treats. Especially enjoyed the coconut cake which was delicious thank you so much x
