Esquires Coffee Balham

Very impressed. I was in a hurry for a train - didn't explain that wrongly- got a bit worried about having long enough to eat my eggs on toast. Very apologetic about their service. No need. I will be back next time I come down south. Best wishes Graham

Came here for the first time to do some admin with my partner. Originally wet to hildreth street which was rammed with queues to get anywhere. Found this place and it was like I could breathe. It was pleasantly buzzing but not packed to the gills so it was actually enjoyable.

The staff were above and beyond friendly and helpful. The chai latte was delish. Would happily come back here to avoid the weekend chaos of Hildreth street for super friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere.

One of the best flat white I had very long time, loved the atmosphere and the service was professional, we enjoyed the food too.

Esquires coffee used to be the Lavish Habit, a coffee shop which I absolutely loved for its quirkiness and excellent coffee and food. When it changed to Esquires coffee, I was really sad as I thought the new owners will not keep the atmosphere of the place. However, when I decided to go back after a few months, I was not disappointed; the place has kept its quirky charm, although there are less items to sell, it gives more space for tables. I had a delicious smoothie and the food is still the same great quality, and so so good. I will definitely come back more often!

Lovely local coffee shop with nice selection of options to fill you appetite and your heart.
Great staff. Make my day!

If you are looking for a cosy place to work, read a book, or catch up with a friend, this is the place to go. Staff is really friendly and they have very tasty treats to enjoy!

Love coming here for a weekend brunch. A lovely, cosy cafe with friendly and welcoming staff. They serve a wide range of hot and cold drinks with loads of pastries and cakes on offer. It's dog friendly and sell cards and gifts as well!

My favourite coffee shop as well as my local coffee shop!

It's cute and quirky, and serves a great selection of coffee, pastries and cakes. I'm not sure what it is, but they bake their pain au raisin / chocolate to perfection; never dry, always moist and chewy.

They also have a simple selection of light meals; I highly recommend the vegan sausage roll (amazingly, better than 95% of real sausage rolls you'll buy) which comes with a fresh salad.

The lovely ladies who serve you are never without a smile, and have become part of my daily / weekly routine.

Highly recommended for anytime coffee, light lunch, or a remote working spell (please don't have your meetings here though; it's annoying!).

Final bonus feature; it also has a cute paved back garden area, which is perfect in the summer months.

On second thoughts, don't come here; I want it all for myself 😂

Very nice and cosy coffee shop in Balham x
Came for a morning coffee and absolutely enjoyed it🤩
Staff was also very friendly and helpful!
Definitely coming back :)

Really nice place with reasonable prices. The staff is so friendly and it’s a dog friendly place! I love it!

lovely staff with welcoming smiles , nice atmosphere but no air con so makes sitting inside not as enjoyable.
All in all great place to unwind

My favourite coffee shop in Balham. Great coffee, good service and awesome juices and smoothies too.

Esquires has become a regular spot of mine since moving here. The coffees are great, the OJ is the sweetest to touch my lips, and the vegan breakfast is worth dying for. Esquires has the best vegan breakfast in Balham! A nice open and bright atmosphere, polite staff, and a good rewards system. They also have cool leather goods for sale, furniture and scarves!

Best cuppacino outside of London.. good price and in a nice big mug!!! Staff are also super friendly..

I've been coming here in the morning for the past 8 months, very welcoming and chilled spot to sit and relax. Arnita is always a very friendly and welcoming host as well as Dini

The beating heart of Balham's freelancers! A wonderful place to work, with a cookie-quirky decor that works as a creative environment. The food is fresh and delicious and the coffees and teas are fabulous. The best saved to last: The people who run Esquires are simply fantastic; friendly and welcoming, day-in-day-out. It's a great place!

My favourite coffee shop and absolute go to! The best coffee and great food, lovely staff and has such a nice atmosphere.

This is a new find for us.. Great coffee, nice buzz to the place.. In fact I may go have lunch there today.. Vegan sausage rolls were a bit of a find (my wife didn't warn me and I didn't know until after.. Well worth a try).. Overall great place

The f&b came fast and it tastes delicious. Very friendly staff as well:).

Great value breakfast, with quality ingredients and very well priced. It was a very busy Saturday morning and the staff were clearly rushed off their feet, but were still super attentive. They mislaid our drinks order and when we pointed this out to them, they upgraded our drinks to apologise.
