Lovely little coffee store in the centre of Durham. Not too busy when we went in for breakfast, and super helpful staff. Also good covid support, with tables spaced out and regularly cleaned.

Very relaxing atmosphere. Good luncheon food catered for all diets and good service. Staff friendly and helpful. Good views over the river. Upstairs quieter but

Sometimes these seats are taken up by smokers and people with dogs bt you can usually squeeze in somewhere. Free wifi, nice large seating area with large windows if you want to people watch. When I stop into Esquires, instead of coffee, I usually opt for tea. Maybe it is because they have a list of tea flavours and I kind of like trying different tea

I really like it here. It's very central to stop off when you are shopping in the city. There is a seated area to the front on the street and also seating on a balcony directly over the River Wear. Sometimes these seats are taken up by smokers and people with dogs bt you can usually squeeze in somewhere.

Lovely coffee shop with a nice view over the river! The coffee is always good and the service friendly. Usually filled with students and professors from the university and a healthy mixture of locals, a good place to work or chat. Nice cakes and food as well, there is always at least one gluten-free cake option available. The gluten-free diam cake is particularly lovely!

Great little spot across the bridge in Durham with beautiful views. Classic coffee options with a bunch of flavoured syrups, tea options, soft drinks and milkshakes. Free WiFi too.

Nice little coffee shop, atmosphere is nice and I found they had a good selection of cakes/buns some of which where gluten free. I went for a cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake, perfect on a freezing afternoon sightseeing in Durham.

Chilled coffee establishment. Enjoyed a comfy seat with a hot coffee on a cold wet Saturday afternoon.

New furnishings and an end to the winter open door policy mentioned below make this a warm comfortable coffee shop but crowded by students in term time. Nice place to visit
See below from October. Update 27/12 4 degrees outside and the door is wedged open and staff are not allowed to close it at the request of a customer. Inside is cold. Open door is meant to attract customers in but who wants to sit in a cold shop? Notice a lot of the regulars have disappeared. There are 4 alternatives within 2 minutes walking and just checking none have their doors open. I notice the cyclists who used to come into Esquires are in BizR, where we have moved to. Prices are comparable around the city and the other shops are warm. Is this really going to help sales in the winter? Reduced star reading from 4 to 2.
Keeping the door open can make downstairs drafty this time of year (Oct). Otherwise best coffee shop in Durham city.
