  Awful awful awful! I do not recommend this cafe for coffee or food! In Leicester city centre there are two esquires and both have a halal menu available. The food quality is fantastic and the coffee is great! Melton Mowbray franchise is shockingly bad and they clearly don’t know what good food is! I ordered scrambled eggs on toast and I got microwaved eggs with a packet of salt and pepper. My partner ordered the Shakshuka on sourdough. For clarification, my missus is from Saudi Arabia and she knows what Shakshuka tastes like and what they served was clearly NOT that. It tasted like some rubbish from a jar and was awful. I asked for fresh orange juice and the bottle they provided was for some weird wonkey oranges? They don’t taste like oranges and the juice was weird. Don’t get me started on the coffee. I’m a coffee snob, so didn’t have high expectations from the outset, but it was truly awful. There is a subway and Greggs across the street, go there instead.

  Need more than 2 staff on a Saturday lunchtime or reduce their service to just drinks. Unusual and disappointing service today.

  Long queues, uncleared tables… staff not appearing really motivated on this Saturday morning visit. Great coffee & croissants however. The owner obs doesn’t need to worry tho? 🤔
