First time here and enjoyed it. Ordered a cappa and hot chocolate - the best I have had for some time from any of the other outlets at this mall. Quick and polite service with a smile. The cheese scone and savory scone were delicious and fresh. A pleasent surprise to find this little outlet amongst all the other cookie-cutter coffee houses. The menu on offer looked very tempting and we will be returning again. Well done Esquires Cafe.

On vacation to NZ and stopped by for cappuccino with my brother while waiting for family who went shopping. The capp tasted great and the service was quick and friendly. I will recommend this joint in a heartbeat.
