A great coffee shop in Manchester! I was visiting for the weekend and looking for a place for a late breakfast. At 11 am on a Saturday, they weren't too packed and even if they were this place is huge so there is plenty of room to sit down and enjoy!
What I ordered: I got a cappuccino and a falafel salad. The cappuccino was huge! The salad was filling and came w hummus, guacamole, and a veggie mix! I loved it!
Prices were reasonable for what you get!
Another bonus- there were outlets next to all of the booths! Nice.
I would highly recommend this place!
TL;DR - Great coffee shop on the edge of the village.
This corner unit has changed hands a few times over the years, so it's nice to see it having a bit of stability under the current owners. Esquire's is a chain, but I'm not sure many people will realise that because they don't have anywhere near the number of stores of some other chains. That said, it's got the feeling of an independent coffee shop.
I've been here a few times now and the coffee is always good. There's a decent selection of food and drink on display and the service is prompt and friendly. Contactless payments with no minimum spend is always a bonus in my books too!
We also came here once for lunch and had a soup and a sandwich each. Both were good but not out of this world, so my gut reaction would be that this place is better for drinks than food. That said, there were a LOT of people in enjoying brunch at the weekend so maybe they knew something we didn't and we just ordered the wrong thing off the menu!
Location is great - very convenient for both the gay village and the University of Manchester's north campus.
Amazing food!!!! We came in for coffee and a quick bite but could not resist the temptation to try their full English breakfast and the vegetarian counterpart! Both choices were absolutely amazing. Fresh and cooked to perfection. The taste was delicious and the presentation was superb. Definitely should try their food and coffee when you are in the city. They have great choices and phenomenal customer service.
