A review about a leather chair. Me and the man( 3 year old son) came in for some lunch. I'm still not up on the way things work over here.(2 weeks into a move from Philly) I forgot to get a table first. The nice barista asks for a table number so he knows where to deliver the order. The man orders a cinnamon bun and I a rump roast sandwich from the deli. A quick scan around I randomly pick a table. "16" I say. We take our seats. I'll try to put into word how comfortable these simple atomic era looking leather chairs were. Relaxing and a pleaser to take the pressure off my feet. I don't want to leave. The simple brown leather is a nice look and goes well with the simple yet attractive interior of Esquire. Unfortunately if it's busy you might be out of luck to try one of these relaxing beauties. There are only 3 in the store. If you have made it this far into the review, I give you credit for sticking it out. The coffee food and service were all great. A nice stop during our day. One of the guys that work here just gave the man a free muffin. Thanks guys.

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.

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.
