Esquires – The Organic Coffee Co (O’Connell St)

Our big bus tour stopped in front of here allowing us 15 min to grab coffee. Everyone off the bus went to Nero but we came here to avoid the line. It’s a cold and rainy day so I ordered a mint hot chocolate and my friend got a passion storm smoothie. My hot chocolate was very tasty. It was rich and very minty. My friend described her smoothie to taste like a creamsicle.
The drinks came out very quick and we used tap to pay for payment. It’s a small space but very efficient.

I stopped by with my seven-year-old after seeing a movie next-door. I was told at the movie theater, if I show my ticket, I would get 10% off, so I figured why not grab a coffee on my way to do some shopping. I walk in and tell my daughter to sit down at a table towards the entrance of the coffee shop and wait for me. I go to the counter, and I place my order for a coffee and a bakery item and I let the cashier (Asian lady with black short hair) know that my order is complete. She then goes, ” and what about the water?”. I’m a bit confused at first, because I did not order water, but she points her head towards my daughter, who is holding a water bottle. When she mentioned the water bottle, she mentioned it in a tone as she was accusing me of grabbing the water as I walked in and trying to not pay for it. It made me feel really uncomfortable and I did not like it. I let her know once again, we literally just left the movie theater and that’s where she got the water from. She says nothing, and then processes my order and I pay for it. You all have CCTV in the shop. If you really felt like we grabbed that water without paying for it, you all could’ve checked the cameras. I am not risking any legal trouble for 2.30 euros. I make more in a day than she probably makes in a week. Stop being judgmental. This felt very discriminatory and I don’t appreciate it at all. I definitely won’t be back. I will visit other locations. This cashier and question needs better training on Customer Service.

Great coffee and cinnamon roll! Service and atmosphere are ok, nothing amazing, but good for a quick coffee and work session

Tried the mocha it was mediocre tbh, also got the tiramisu. It was disgusting, really stale and just not appetising. Wouldn’t recommend this place

The staff is really nice although they don’t offer many vegan options. But it is a nice place to have meetings.
