Reviews Esquires Coffee

I was visiting a friend in the area and bumped into this beautiful cafe. It was like I got transported in a different era, I loved the rustic style and vibe with old record music players but most importantly the choices of food and coffee. I had a very nice eggs on toast and a flat white. The service was exceptional and fast. Portions were generous. Definitely recommending it!!!!

Nice little coffee shop. Very friendly staff and made the dog very welcome.

Fantastic breakfast stop! Went 2 days in a row and both times were great. Lovely, genuine service and amazing food! The pecan banana bread is incredible - had both times and was not disappointed! Everything else was delicious as well but this was the winner. Coffee also was great and gives other nearby places a run for their money. Def will be returning

It was my first time today at Esquires Coffee in Putney. I have had a nice experience, coffee was great, food was great and customer service was great . Well done!!! I will be coming back for sure, next time I will be around Putney. I was very happy to find a nice Cafe' with a good atmosphere and a very tasty products. Big up !!!

This is my regular cafe and as usual I stopped by to grab our coffee and breakfast. There was a long queue as usual and with the exception of 2 young ladies, there were all new faces covering the shift. Now we always make a point to avoid the shop between the hours of 10 and 2pm on Saturdays as we often find the shop busy and staff appear to be struggling . However this time we decided to brave it as we had a flight to catch later in the day. The crowd waiting for drinks was huge and the young man behind the machine bless him, looked flushed but was doing a great job. For the first time, i noticed they had a curlie haired young lady of afro Caribbean descent who was clearly in charge and who i initially assumed was the new msnager flying around from one corner to the other shepherding the staff. I observed her personally remake our meal in the kitchen and offer us coffee on the house when she saw that after waiting so long, the chef had missed bits of our order which had also initially come out cold. I have to say despite the fact the staff seemed all new and i noticed a few wrong drinks made, for once they seemed less disorganised. What stood out for us and was quite refreshing was how the curlie haired lady kept pushing the staff with encouragement and despite the fact there were mistakes being made, I saw a few drinks return and the Batista looking flustered at times, she kept saying, you're doing great to which you could see the staff feeling better and trying to do a good job as best as they could in the rush. The staff for wonce seemed guided compared to our past many visits where they lacked structure and guidance. This is my local and i will always come back for the great coffee but they need to get a hold on the organisation and the menu as all the meal favs are now gone and what's left is being done poorly. My husband and I have bern to the other branches in Barlham and Worthing but the Putney store remains our local favourite. We hope Esquires management recognise the gem this cafe is compared to the other competitors nearby, and bring a much needed structure to it
