A Franchise That Stands for More

Esquires Coffee isn’t just another coffee shop brand. It’s a purpose-led business, built on doing things the right way with a focus on ethical sourcing, sustainability, and being part of the community.

It’s not just about coffee – it’s about building something local, sustainable, and genuinely welcoming. That’s what being part of Esquires means.

A Thriving Market

The UK coffee market is worth over £6.1 billion, growing steadily year-on-year. Consumers are demanding more from their daily coffee – organic ingredients, ethical sourcing, and genuine hospitality. That’s exactly what Esquires delivers.
