    Huge thank you to the lady who served us on a Sunday morning! I came from London for a wedding and visited this cafè with my Daughter and Mum for breakfast and everything was spot on! Perfectly presented and everything tasted delicious! The waitress regularly checked up on us to see if we was okay and was so sweet! It’s right outside the shopping centre so definitely give it a try!

    Esquires has become one of my regular coffee shops, their iced coffee has become one of my favourites and the staff is always ready to help. The cafe itself is really aesthetic and clean- it's the perfect place to spend hours studying or reading. The manager is especially welcoming- really recommend!

    Welcoming café: Bright, airy, comfy. Lots of seating options, armchairs for relaxing, tables with plug sockets and WiFi for working. Clean and tidy. Friendly, helpful staff. Good choice of food, cakes and drinks. Lovely coffee! All the non-dairy options too. First visit today - definitely coming back!

    A couple points! 1) I’ve spoken to a few women who go there to just relax and to study and they’ve all said the manager gives really creepy vibes. I’ve noticed this how he’s really obsessed with the women which if very odd. As well as this the food isn’t the nicest especially at the prices. The hot chocolate tasted like boiled dirt water. Was harassed by a random old man the other day and kept asking my to ask him how many kids he had and wouldn’t leave me alone. Honestly wouldn’t recommend if ur going alone or have ur older brother or father there with you

    I’m a regular customer at this place. Good friendly staff, always helpful and always smiling. The food has improved immensely with a more balanced and excellent variety. The lad in charge is always happy and cheerful gives the place a buzz. The ladies working here are very kind and on it. It’s the only place that’s open late and always filled with students and couples alike. Clean and tidy place can’t fault it. Power plugs and sockets everywhere to use. From cakes to sandwiches freshly made and toasters to coffee and hot drinks. It’s what you all want from a coffee place. It beats the standard Starbucks and Nero coffees cos it’s personal and I love it here. Some of the negative reviews I don’t understand it’s always those having a bad day nit picking. I enjoy coming here and will always come here. Thank you guys you all are under appreciated but rest assured there are people that value your kindness.

    Used to be good managed coffee shop before the pandemic but now the staff is unfriendly, tables not clean, although the staff is standing around nobody cleans up the tables. Would have expected better hygiene during pandemic. The toilet is a mess. The door that nobody is supposed to use is always used by staff members and they don't close it behind them. It's just uncomfortable and not welcoming at all.

    Ordered Eggs Benedict, first one came out on bread not toast with a hard boiled egg. Second one came out with a hard boiled egg on toast. Seems like a cosy place, foods expensive and mediocre.

    The customer service here is amazing! Every single barista has been so nice and patient - incredibly polite and friendly. The atmosphere is very comfortable and the decoration is so nice! And the drinks are fantastic too, rich and nice and not too overpowering. Really good coffee shop :)

  • 5/5 Two Of C. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been visiting Esquires for the last few years and its been one of the best places to just meet up with friends or sit for hours on end and finish my assignments. There are quite a few options for seating with both low and high tables, tables for groups and just for two The (or you can always a how a table for yourself). There are plenty of higher tables which are perfect for studying. The staff (especciallly the manager!) has always been extremely accommodating and the coffee has always been good. Couldn't recommend it more!

    Great coffee and service. Love the aesthetics and atmosphere. Whether you want to talk over coffee or do some work, esquires has a comfortable space for both.

    Unfortunately that had to be one of the most unappetising breakfasts I can remember. After trying the sausage, avocado and mushrooms I decided to leave the meal and go somewhere else. I have had lots of vegan & vegetarian breakfasts and found them healthy and tasty. Not sure what went wrong here.

    good coffee, cake was quite dry, great space for doing work (clean, cosy, great location), nice staff :)

    Having been Shopping at the Broadway, we came to have something nice for Lunch with a Burger & Chips in mind. The Staff were very helpful & quality of service was excellent. The Burgers were absolutely Epic & will definitely come here again. Definitely a 5 out of 5. The Prices were very good considering the quality of the Burgers & Seasoned Chips.

    It's a fantastic coffee shop! I come here anytime I want to study. There's cushioned seats with large tables, perfect for my laptop, books etc. It's pretty relaxing too. I usually go through 3 got drinks when I'm here. Would definitely recommend!

    I swear this place used to be nice , ordered eggs benedict , bread was stale , ham was covered in raw eggs and the sauce tasted like straight vinegar, woman behind the counter didn't have a clue about anything I ordered and was very rude , Evan the salad had gone bad , please Do not go this place not Evan for a coffee

  • 2/5 Donovan J. 1 year ago on Google
    Menu options are fine but reliant on single Greg’s style food heater which means dried mushrooms and lacking the benefit of proper Kitchen faculties

    I been to this coffee shop just on my lunch break and had fillet burger meal. It was very delicious and all the staff was very nice and friendly. Will definitely recommend it

  • 1/5 Dale H. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed the tea, but witnessed some awful customer service; a friend of mine asked for Vegan Breakfast, and when a standard breakfast came out, he politely asked for a refund as he had to rush off. He was told he 'hadn't ordered a vegan breakfast' was begrudgingly given a refund after continuously being told he was wrong. After he left, the waitresses were very vocal about their discontent, using words I won't repeat. Not the service you might expect.

    Last week I visited this coffee shop for the first time. I was greeted by a delightful young lady called Marissa. She was very welcoming, took the time to have a conversation with me & also was very informative about the choices available. The quality of the good and drinks was fantastic also but the stand out point for me is most definitely finding a place where someone took the time to make me feel like a valued customer. Also I could see that Marissa did this with others & seeing the smile that spread across customer faces was so refreshing. Thank you Marissa, you made my day. Keep up the fabulous service

    Lovely coffee shop in the centre of Bradford making it incredibly easy to get to with no concerns about parking. The atmosphere of the shop itself was nice, making you incredibly comfortable from the moment you walk in. The food and coffee was great! And I could not fault the customer service I experienced here. The ladies there were so nice!

  • 4/5 Nathan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely coffee shop in centre outside Broadway. Do a nice breakfast, sandwich or jacket with various fillings. Coronation chicken 😋. Range of coffees, food can take a while to arrive however.

    My go-to place when I wanna be productive, very peaceful and there's a great choice of background music. Staff are lovely, helpful and kind (excellent customer service). I mostly go here for songwriting/admin work for my music brand and leave feeling refreshed and with finished work each time. Amazing café - the best in Bradford! 👏🏾

    Been coming off and on for a while; best coffee of all the places (either independent or chain) in the city centre by far. Food service is slow and not great value but overall, atmosphere and drinks make up for this. Excellent wifi service and a decent number of seats.

👍 Food was delicious and the portions are reasonable. Service was good during our visit. Décor is very wild West and there are some good touches. Music was pretty loud inside and needs to be turned down. Overall a good experience
