Review Esquires Cafe - Christchurch

Breanna Kerr

We came in during the morning tea rush as a family of ten. We were greeted politely by Wes and informed of the wait on kitchen food (always appreciated!!!) We had incredible coffee made by Tania. Then our food was brought out by the friendly Wendy, who thanked us for our patience. The food was out in 15 minutes and made by a single chef named Kim. The food was stunning and the poached eggs were perfect. This was the best experience we have had whilst in Christchurch!! All of the staff went above and beyond and seemed genuinely happy to be there. As someone who works in Hospitality, I know how hard it can be at times.. and understand the pressure Hospo workers have been under lately!! Thank you so much for the best experience!!! (As I am writing this, our plates were promptly cleared by another incredibly polite lady)

I came here to see what it was like and was blown away to find a few different keto options. The cake was really delicious, (can highly recommend the keto choco cake), and the coffee was hot, covered in rich delicious crema, and hit the spot. Super friendly and helpful staff and I hear they're going to be making even more keto food. A new fave :)

Best coffee in Merivale and for kms around. Made exactly as requested and served with a smile. Good pricing and some amazing cabinet food and light meals with vegan and kero options. Well done to the team.

Customer service of a high standard, a very popular place to relax and watch others rushing about the mall. Food from cabinet good quality and value. Meals on request are a good size and of a high standard. Great place to meet up with others for a coffee, snack and chat

Kirsten Gerrard

Great service from the friendly team. Great to have so many keto/low carb food and drink options! The cake/slice prices were a little on the high side for the portion size, but the treats tasted amazing (especially the raspberry cheesecake)! Great to hear you have a keto chef starting soon who will add even more options!

A great place to meet and have a coffee. The service was fantastic and went way beyond my expectations. Conveniently placed in the Merivale Mall it is easy to access Also car parking is no problem with the large car park at the back of the Mall.

Toni Porter

Had a milkshake which was not very flavoursome

Friendly, helpful staff, cabinet had lots to choose from and I was able to grab the drink from the chiller myself. Menu was very easy to read and understand.

I stopped here for a coffee while visiting Merivale Mall. To be honest the coffee was average however what appealed to me about this place was the friendly staff service and smiles. Such a delight.
