Esquires Coffee Shop 28 High Street Oakham Rutland
https://esquirescoffee.co.uk/store/esquires-oakham/
Located at 28 High Street, Esquires Coffee has quickly established itself as a lively social anchor in the heart of Oakham, Rutland. Housed inside a striking landmark building that formerly served as an HSBC bank, this 70-seat artisan café breathes fresh energy into the town center while celebrating ethical brewing and community connection.
The journey of bringing Esquires to Oakham involved a meticulous, multi-month project to revitalise the historic property. Rather than letting a prominent high-street building sit vacant, the extensive refurbishment preserved the grand architectural bones and soaring high ceilings of the former bank. The result is an expansive yet warm interior that blends historic character with modern, comfortable café design.
At the core of the Esquires experience is a strong commitment to quality and sustainability:
Every cup is brewed using 100% organic, Fairtrade-certified coffee beans, ensuring a responsible choice for both people and the planet.
The kitchen serves a wide array of freshly prepared breakfast, brunch, and lunch options—ranging from loaded artisan sourdough toasts and loaded jacket potatoes to hearty melts and sweet pancake stacks.
Beyond traditional espresso-based coffees, the menu features ethically sourced loose-leaf teas, real-fruit smoothies, matcha lattes, and thick milkshakes.
Operated locally by a hands-on family, the café captures the brand's global ethos while remaining deeply rooted in the local Rutland community. Whether locals drop in for a quick morning takeaway or visitors settle in for a leisurely weekend brunch, Esquires Coffee provides a welcoming, vibrant space to gather, relax, and connect on the high street.
