Esquires East Tamaki


Esquires East Tamaki
19 Cryers Road,
East Tamaki,
Auckland

Regular Flat White: $4.90

Esquires is another franchise place that is in many suburbs in Auckland, and has once or twice been a place for me to get coffee from when having had a few drinks. Is it any better when I’m sober?

Coffee: What coffee? There’s water in here… (0/5)

Milk: It’s too creamy, but with no strong coffee taste to run interference, it’s no surprise. (2/5)

Presentation: Solid cup and lid combo. The best thing I can say about it is when I opened the lid to check the milk it didn’t spill on me. (3/3)

Verdict: Rubbish.  

Overall rating: 5/13. A coffee that made me email head office. I would have taken it back if it weren’t such a big drive. Keep in mind 60% of the grade on this cup comes from the cup itself and not the stuff inside it.
