Welcome to Esquires East Tamaki DT, a delightful café nestled at 19 Cryers Road in East Tamaki, Auckland. This charming spot is more than just a place to grab a coffee; it’s a community hub where friendships are formed over steaming mugs and delicious meals.

The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by friendly staff who prioritize excellent service—something that many visitors have noted. One enthusiastic customer, Alex S, shared their experience of being welcomed by three different members of the team within the first thirty seconds of walking in. Such hospitable touches elevate your visit right from the start!

Esquires offers a tantalizing breakfast menu that’s perfect for gathering with friends or fueling up before your day. Try their Big Breakfast, a feast that promises to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites, or indulge in the French Toast, a sweet, fluffy treat that the café is known for. For those who prefer something lighter, the Homemade Toasted Muesli is a wholesome choice, combining vibrant flavors and textures that dance in harmony with your palate.

As the day transitions into lunchtime, consider enjoying their Chicken Cranberry Panini, which customer Mak Kaulima raved about for both its delightful taste and the inviting service. Accompanied by a refreshing Schweppes Lemonade, it’s a perfect pairing. And if you’re in the mood for something to accompany your meal, the seasoned wedges are a must-try—golden and crispy, they provide the perfect crunch!

One of the joys of visiting Esquires is their drive-thru service. Alejandro Humphreys highlights how convenient this feature is, especially during unpredictable weather. Be it a rainy afternoon or a sunny morning, you can enjoy your favorite drink—such as their deliciously crafted cappuccino or mocha—without having to leave the comfort of your vehicle.

While the café’s inviting décor and atmosphere make for an excellent dining experience, feedback has also provided constructive insights, such as seating comfort. Customer Duncan Li pointed out that some of the wall seats were a bit too soft for proper table height, underscoring that while the ambiance is cozy, comfort matters too.

In conclusion, Esquires East Tamaki DT isn’t just a café; it’s a delightful experience wrapped in community vibes and delicious food. Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee or settling down for a leisurely breakfast, you can always expect great service and a sense of belonging. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem—your next caffeinated adventure awaits!

Nice food. Those seats by the wall are too soft. You can't seat there with the height of the table.

Walked in and 3 different staff members greeted me in the first 30 seconds. Coffee was great!

Probably the best place to go for an awesome breakfast or even just a coffee. Of course is not cheap as a lunch bar or petrol station but is 10 times better. What I really like of this place is that it even has a drive away, what makes it perfect for rainy days, cold days or even sunny days. I usually like to order a large cappuccino or mocha, can't say which one is better as both of them are made amazingly by its friendly staff :).

Probably some of the best coffee I've ever tried! Espresso is always very consistent in terms of strength and ratio and the staff are always very nice and accommodating. Inside is nicely presented and well kept however, the addition of a drive through allows quick visits for your daily fix of espresso.
