Esquires Coffee Twickenham — Restaurant in London

Visited with my mother who uses a wheelchair. The outlet is clean and bright with plenty of space for the wheelchair. I had a large white Americano while my mother had tea. The person taking our order suggested using one of the tables at the back of the shop as these are better for chair users and said that she would bring our order when it was ready.

The tea came in a pot on a small wooden tray. It was a good large leaf tea, which was possibly too delicate for my mother (who is of age age where flavours need to be strong). However, she liked the toasted teacake she had also ordered and took half home in a bag provided by the server when she saw mother wrapping it in a serviette.

Little touches made the experience more memorable. Milk is served in small glass bottles. The butter for the teacake came in a decorated expression cup and that tray for the teapot. A cartwheel converted into a ceiling light. Decorative ceiling roses used to break up a boring white wall.

We enjoyed our visit and I expect that we will make another visit sometime soon.

Update following a recent visit. I had a pot of tea today. It really is an outstanding tea. Delicate with a gorgeous aroma. Do try it for yourself, I don't think you will be...

I had a catch up with an old friend at the cafe few days ago. The lady who served us managed to convenience my friend to try the green reviver, which he reluctantly accepted even though he hate kale. He tried and enjoyed the smoothie! Kudos to her!

However I would have loved for the cafe to have more outdoor space, but due to the location of the cafe I understand why there are limited outside seat. The cafe is lovely and the staff are great. Location is central and walking distance to everything in Twickenham.

Unfortunately I'm not able to comment about the delicious food they had, but will come back again for those.

Can't give a full 5 star as I can't comment...

I was never asked to leave a place before. Apparently there is a maximum stay of hour and a half. My partner and I were there yesterday, we had two meals and two rounds of coffee each. Before I even had a chance to finish my second coffee we were asked to leave our table (it was a single table for two people) because other people need to sit.

The attitude towards the quantity of customers not the customer itself shocked me.

Never coming to this place again. Not that Twickenham lacks good cafes anyways. Harris & Hoole, Soul, Press room (just to name a few) where costumers are treated...
