Esquires Coffee Houses

This café is brimming with potential, thanks to its ideal location that's only a short walk away from the bus station, surrounding apartments, and local businesses. It's an ideal spot for a quick bite, leisurely breakfast or lunch. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the service is exceptional, ensuring a fantastic experience. Their coffee menu is extensive, with a wide variety of hot and cold beverages. I highly recommend their Espresso Very Vanilla Chiller, which was absolutely divine. It's certainly worth revisiting. However, the breakfast I ordered was rather underwhelming and a big let down. The omelette I had was dry and failed to meet my expectations, I was only able to eat half of it. Additionally, the bread was dry and hard, and no butter was provided, which was quite disappointing. On a positive note, the cabinet items were quite good, especially the breakfast bap and almond croissant. With some quality control and taste testing, I believe that this café could truly be exceptional!

Lovely staff, attentive and makes an effort for their customers. Coffee is nice. Easy food. My quiche was a little salty, but they gave me some sauce and that helped. Easy, no frills place to sit and watch the day.Food: 3/5

Terrible. We ordered a cheese scone and a blueberry muffin and two coffees. Both food items were dry and hard to eat unless taken with coffee. The muffin was tasteless. The cutlery one of us got had not been washed - the knife was encrusted with a thick layer of eggs on both sides; it was really impossible not to see it. The fork had traces of dried food between the tines. The plate also appeared unwashed - brown spots and greasy surface. Worst, when the coffee was delivered, the guy's finger was not only touching the rim of the cup but was dipped in the froth. When I pointed that out, he looked at the froth on his finger in grear surprise. By far the worst café experience anywhere in Auckland.

There are none coffee options such as smoothies. The sandwiches looks good, friendly staffs, it's a good place to hang out. Too bad they close very early, not able to grab dinner after work

Visually appealing, tastes like a franchise

I lobe it here. The service is always friendly. I meet my friends here.Food: 5/5

Had brunch here today before going to Lion King show at Spark arena. Cafe is about 300m from Spark Arena so nice and close. Ok there is both a cabinet choice for food or a menu. We chose big breakfast see pic costing $21. You can choose types of eggs you want and comes with a couple slices of toasted sour dough bread and butter. It was ok, just average for cost. We also ordered hot cakes $10.50 with maple syrup and whipped cream. This dish was delicious but needed more syrup. There was quite a delay in between the two different meals being brought out. Hotcakes came out first so the person had finished their meal well before the big breakfast came out. We also ordered two takeaway hot chocolates which were luke warm not very chocolatey, no marshmallows and too milky. We also asked to bring a table inside as there werent any available, it was freezing outside and there was plenty of floor space available inside. Person had to go away to get approval. Staff should be allowed to make simple decisions themselves without owner needing to control everything. Overall our experience was just ok.

My favourite cafe in the Auckland CBD. Thanks Melissa, Eunji and Mijash, I really love coming here. My chessmate Seamas does too lol!

Just off the train, had a nice breakfast. Scrambled eggs on toast, plus some bacon tossed in. Well done team.Food: 4/5

Best spinach and feta muffin I’ve ever had! Vegetarian options: Good variety
