Esquires is a UK-wide coffeehouse chain with more than 90 branches, and this one sits on Christchurch Road in Boscombe, a separate branch from the Esquires in Bournemouth town centre, about a mile and a half away on Old Christchurch Road. It's a short walk from Boscombe's precinct, seafront and pier, making it a handy stop before or after time on the beach.
Coffee and food
Like other Esquires branches, this one serves organic, Fairtrade-certified coffee, built around the chain's Equatorial Blend, 100% Arabica beans from Peru, Sumatra and Honduras. Esquires works directly with coffee-farming cooperatives, including the Capucas Cooperative in Honduras, as part of its approach to ethical sourcing. The chain also offers vegan and vegetarian options, with oat, soy, almond and coconut milk alternatives available alongside dairy. Exact food and drink availability can vary by branch, so it's worth checking what's on offer in store.
Good to know
As an independently run branch of a franchise chain, opening hours and offerings can differ from other Esquires locations, so it's sensible to confirm current hours before making a special trip.
