Esquires Coffee - Carta

Great Eggs Benedict and lovely tea and cake. I had Key Lime Pie, which was delicious. Comfortable seating and friendly staff.

Ordered 2 bacon rolls 2 coffees, coffee is OK but bacon roll had 1 rasher of bacon. At £3 I think this is a rip off. Prices used to be reasonable but same old story. Greedy for money

I visited during my lunch hour and ordered an oat latte and bagel with tomato, avocado and rocket. All very pleasant but ridiculously (cost of both just over £10) overpriced so I won’t be visiting again. Ver carta

“Soup of the day” was a can of Heinz tomato soup. For £5. Bread? £2.50 extra. So I went for a cheese and ham toastie. Plastic cheese and wafer thin ham on thin sliced bread. Luke warm coffee. Poor quality and over-priced.

Visited 28/5/22 for a tea and ham sandwich, I was charged £8.80, steep, but I thought surely it will come with small amount of crisps/side salad, crusty bread? No, sliced bead with one slice of processed ham. Wont be going there again, other places in town much better value and service with a smile.

Weekday lunchtime visit. Dirty tables, unhelpful and unfriendly staff. One dish had poached eggs that were solid. Other dish had a hash brown that was still frozen. After complaining, the hash brown was scraped off the plate, and a replacement dumped on a side plate a few minutes later. Most of the food on both plates was left as it was so bad but the staff didn’t even bother to ask why the food was left. A new Starbucks is due to open and local Facebook groups are moaning saying that we should support local independent cafes (Esquire’s was even mentioned) after this car crash of a visit I’d be surprised if they have any customers left once Starbucks opens.

Leaving a review because I couldn’t shake off the unfriendly atmosphere from staff, just seemed as though they were being forced to work there. Read the reviews and found similar issues to mine. The coffee was just above average but the breakfast was disappointing a large whole tomato that had probably been thrown in the oven to warm up and a mushroom that had lost all the hope of being a fun guy. The eggs however sourced, lacked taste and the only nice items was the sausage and beans. Lovely decor which shouldn’t have to make up a restaurant, the atmosphere and food should. The staff behind the bar could pretend to enjoy their job and look more friendly and the manager (I assume) needs to l...

I took my daughter for lunch and our experience could not have been worse. One of the staff in particular was very unwelcoming and arrogant. We ordered a smashed avocado sandwich which arrived with chilli flakes on it. I took it back saying it I can 't eat spicy. The waitress answered in an annoyed and dismissive way they are always served this way . To which I answered then it should be mentioned on the menu for customers to make an informed choice . To which she said why don 't you remove them? . I looked at her gobsmacked by her tone. I told her you try removing them without wasting most of the avocado as they are all over! . She took my plate in an unpleasant way and said she 'll redo it...

Today I visited Esquires in Dartford where I ordered a cooked breakfast and a hot drink, I asked for certain items to be cooked in a certain way. The venue was fairly busy as it was inclement weather and market day. After I ordered the polite staff members on duty requested me to take a seat and they would bring my order to me. I didn't have to wait long and my order was delivered to my table just as I had ordered and was hot, tasty and presentable. I found the price competitive if not slightly cheaper than other local cafe's/deli's. After I had finished the crockery and cutlery was removed and I was asked if I required a further drink as I was working on my laptop. A further drink was broug... Ver carta
