ordered for 2 of us and on both dishes the eggs were hard. took them back to the girl and wasn't happy about doing them again and then left my plate of food on the side to get cold. When I asked her to keep it warm for me, she seemed to have a problem with it so asked for a refund. gave me my money back with no conversation or an apology.......very rude and immature. also was making food and drink while serving people without washing her hands in-between.

Asked for small latte and seems they got my order mixed up and made a regular takeaway latte and instead of re-making my drink they just poured the takeaway drink into a cup and gave it to me. Couldn’t drink it as just tasted like milk. Disappointing standards for a coffee shop.

A nice place to go for some food and a coffee. We went on a late Sunday morning for brunch and it was my first time going. I was not sure what the setup was with going to order your food/drink yourself. Could have had a little sign or one of the staff just letting me know but I figured it out in the end. The food and drink I don't have any complaints with as it was great. The apple juice tasted like I just put a straw in an apple. And the full English was lovely and fresh also with some amazing bacon. I would have liked to have a fried egg but they could only offer scrambled on the day. Overall a great place to eat and get a coffee. Would recommend.

Service was slow, as it was a busy time. Could have done with more than 2 people on the till at 10.30am on a Saturday morning. Good selection of cakes. Length of time to get drinks put us off getting a 2nd round.

Used to be go favourite but now I’m going to avoid. A lot of people working there but no one seems to want to be there, it took a while to be served and then it was wrong and I got the impression it was my fault, the coffee wasn’t good either and I had to throw it in the bin. Just a bad experience for something as simple as going in to get a coffee. Management need to make some changes or figure out why the staff hate working there.

I used to love this place. I went today and was served an inedible ham and cheese sandwich, totally overcooked and edges of ham burnt. I was brought a replacement which was also inedible. Bread clearly stale and just not pleasant. Coffee was good! Staff member who served me needs customer service lessons, she clearly didn't want to be there.

Firstly the staff seemed as if they didn't want to be there. The cheese and ham toasty I ordered could have been made yesterday as the bread was clearly stale and rock hard round the edges, there was a couple of slices of very thin ham and no cheese. The apple pie, however, was delicious, probably because it was bought in, not homemade.

I absolutely "loved" this place as have been here for the last 4 years for a quiet coffee. This morning I had a mocha and a sausage sandwich. Cannot fault the coffee, but the food is terrible, £6 for a chewy and overcooked sandwich which was microwaved and bread was stale. I had to ask for it to be buttered, and then it was heavily buttered on one side. 🤷 I wish I had gone to Gregg's instead.

This cafe used to be a hipster hot spot with great service, enthusiastic staff and GREAT coffee. I visit regularly and staff has seemed to rotate massively over the past year or so, unfortunately the place and its newly employed staff has lost its sparkle. I rarely see the staff smiling or looking like they’re enjoying their jobs at all, the time between ordering and actual service is incredibly slow compared to how it was before, and I rarely receive my drink made properly as the new staff seems to just not be trained as well as the last set. Very disappointing, used to love it here.

We had such a delicious breakfast here on a Sunday morning. The poor guy working the counter was all on his own but calmly served the queue of people waiting and dished up a delicious eggs benedict and avocado on toast, both were perfect. What a legend! Thank you!!

The service in here is friendly and the coffee is actually okay, however unfortunately it took almost 20 minutes to get 2 coffees and both the sandwich and muffin we ordered were sadly stale. The muffin was politely taken back and was no trouble. The atmosphere was unfortunately dampened by a lot of frustrated customers at the wait times.

Used this cafe for first time this week. Staff at counter were friendly and quick. However, I had to wait a considerable time for a milk shake and then ask again for the fruit juice I ordered. The wait to collect drinks seemed to be due to the conversation the lady washing up and possibly a new recruit were deeply engrossed in. I wasn’t acknowledged or apologised to for the wait. Won’t be rushing back, shame because the cake was good.

I used to come in to this coffee shop all the time and loved it the staff were lovely and chatty and the coffee and food was amazing. However when I went in there last week we were greeted (if I can even say greeted)with a man in an unbuttoned white top who was really unfriendly - he told me they had no ingredients for the smoothie I wanted - even though when I left I could clearly see them all in the fridge. He told me I could only have orange juice which I had to wait 15 minutes for! I had to go up and ask at one point if it was ready in which he stared me dead in the face and ignored me and started chatting with one of his colleagues. I then had to ask him if he had an answer - in which he clearly did hear me as he finally answered me to tell me it would be a further 15 minutes on top of the 15/20 minutes I had already been waiting! Whilst waiting I watched another customer go up to him and tell him he got his order wrong - he gave him an americano instead of a black tea. It's not very hard to apologise let alone even speak to your customer - seems like you're hiring people that like to smoke before they come in or something not a clue why he had to be so horrible. Very much doubting if I will even return now.

Well my faith in humanity’s tastebuds has been let down. This cafe is far from what people are saying in the reviews. I had eggs royal with added shell, the eggs were not cooked properly, the plate was watery and thrown together. For £2 worth of ingredients I expected to see it put together a lot nicely. Needless to say I won’t be coming back here.

£6.60 for a very small coffee and apple turnover. Coffee was nice but turnover nothing special. Barista too busy talking to her friend behind the counter to make me a coffee and left me standing there for 2-3 minutes waiting. Continued to gossip whilst making it and just shoved it in my direction.

Esquires was a lovely café to find in busy Maidstone. It’s totally dog friendly inside and out, the staff even offered my woofer a bowl of water. There was a good selection of cakes, drinks and sandwiches/pastries. This time I had a cheese and tomato croissant which was warmed without being soggy. The atmosphere inside felt very relaxed considering it was a busy lunchtime. I will definitely visit this café again.

Ordered cake literally just now. Watched the girl make an absolute mess of cutting the cake and leave half of the board. To give me two thirds of it. To be honest she saw me looking and she knew. But gave it to me anyway. I just can’t be bothered to argue anymore. I used to enjoy cake here, now I’ll enjoy it somewhere else. Very disappointed with the service some people are happy to give! Some should look for another job if you’re not happy and take pride in where you’re!

Went there today, standing in the queue for about 5 min to be told that the coffee machine isn't working. I was ok with it as a human being that it can happen. The shocking bit was when I suggested a sign outside and not wasting peoples time, he said that he is not allowed to do it otherwise it will put customers off and he prefers to waste our time. Yes exactly what he said. Not going there anymore.

The tea was good and that was about it. I had the eggs Benedict and it was about as bad as it could have been. The eggs were real rather than powdered so I guess that's something. The ham was cold and processed and the sauce was some kind of jar version that was cold and disgusting. The bagel rather than English muffin was also uncooked. The sausage and bacon had been cooked much earlier and reheated, which is bad enough for sausages but for bacon it runs it.

Had the vegan breakfast a fair few times recently and never been the same as the last one. Every time and different number of sausages, no vegan butter twice. No salad on even though the last few times had spinach. I wouldn't mind so much if they explained when I ordered what they didn't have but they seem happy enough to take my money and give me whatever they have available. The staff were really rude when I asked why certain stuff were missing. Don't think they really care about giving good customer service.

Have bought a couple of times from here during both lockdowns so only know when using outdoor areas. Speed of getting coffee out was way too slow on both occasions. This was Saturday around 1.30pm and took around 15 mins for coffee to come out warming up a sausage roll took the same amount of time. I think your not maximising customer - if had a barista and machine instead of the merchandise I reckon it would more than pay for itself and would get a lovely coffee smell around the front of the cafe. Think in this time of covid secure the cakes should probably have some Perspex or cake covers as just open to elements including customers passing by. Also staff bringing out food could wear some gloves and maybe a uniform t-shirt and apron. Guy was just bringing out food in joggers. Looked a bit burger van. Cakes and coffee were good and staff serving very friendly. Would come back and just my 2p above.
