What!? London quality independent coffee shop in the middle of Surrey!? What is the world coming…read moreto? This place CLEARLY doesn't fit the style, decor, and the patrons who regularly ply up and down Station Approach in West Byfleet, but I DON'T CARE! It's clientele are obviously younger, hipsters who live in Surrey and yearn for a bit of London's great coffee scene near their place of abode. The decor inside is a mish-mash of design favorites (see attached picture), and quirkly items - like a drum-set cymbal lamp, and old school whiteboard (that actually does rotate) that display's the fine selection of coffees at Taylor's. Nothing on this street is really all that independent, except for the JJ's Diner right next door. But this, this is a case study in the hopeful revival of the great British high street. Two flat whites, a flip through the Independent on Sunday... Oh, the coffee... Never did a flat white taste this good. It's from organic beans that are roasted on Brewery Road in Woking. WHAT!? A local roastery in Woking?! GET OUT! The flat whites are of an equivalent standard as the coffee shops in East London, but let me say, that there is something better about this coffee now that I know it's is independently roasted, it's not "Union" coffee, nor do I have to travel into London for a great place with a great atmosphere. I was slowly twitching to move back to London, but this place gives me one less reason to move back. I'll never need to sit at home on a Saturday morning trying to read my Monocle magazine with a cup of cafetiere coffee ever again. Taylor's you might have just saved my sanity. Kudos. See you next Saturday.

If you are a coffee connoisseur, or just enjoy an excellent coffee, this could be the place. We enjoyed our coffee, while relaxing in a boutique style, comfortable lounge area. For us a coffee always seems to be more enjoyable in a modern comfortable venue. We intend to visit and enjoy another coffee, made by the same roaster, Taylor's Coffee House Woking. We give this a highly recommended.

This is a proper little family run Italian bistro/cafe where you always get a warm Italian welcome. The small menu gives very tasty, authentic well cooked meals and of course proper coffee. Lovely to sit in and while away the hours as you never get rushed out.

It has a couple of entrances, one from the shopping mall and a lower one from the square, and the two levels provide a nice variety of seating options. There is also an upstairs area, although the stairs to this are so discreetly tucked away behind the counter that it is easy to miss them. I only spotted them on my last visit when I managed to find a table right at the bottom of them, so I can't comment on the upstairs seating. I can only assume that it might be quieter up there. The staff were cheery although mostly European it seemed, and this did lead to some translational difficulties, particularly when they served me a takeaway Americano with milk when I had specifically requested no milk. I only discovered this after I'd left of course, so that was a wasted coffee, and a three-star review right there.

Great service. After a short wait for making more of the sandwich I was after the gave it to me on…read morethe house in Lou of the Wait.

I thoroughly enjoyed my tea especially in the way it was presented in a colourful teapot, milk jug & cup & saucer on an oblong wooden tray. I called one of the staff over to tell her to inform her bosses how pleased I was. I was smiling all the way home. I took a photo of the china & tray, hope it transfers well from my mobile, I am not very good. A BIG thank you & Happy New Year to all your staff. Winifred PS.

How refreshing to be asked that and not told that after you've sat down, ordered and then asked where's the food. As luck would have it time was on our side so we sat down to enjoy the atmosphere and order drinks and food. The food didn't take 20mins and all came out hot well presented and have to say tasted fabulous (see photos). The staff were all friendly and checked everything was ok during the meal. Would recommend popping in there

Let's be honest, Woking isn't the most inspiring of places but Esquires stands out as one of the…read morebetter establishments in the area. It's in a convenient location, between the train station and the Peacocks carparks, so good for an early morning pick-me-up on the way into London. It's also just by the main square so also good for people who work in the town centre or are out shopping. In recent years it's added tables and chairs outside in the pedestrian area which has eased congestion inside as it's not very big. They do a nice selection of fresh paninis and sandwiches. The coffee is excellent, the milkshakes and smoothies good for the Summer months. Average prices for this area and they have a loyalty scheme which means you can get a free drink after getting a certain number of stamps. The free wifi is an excellent draw. The staff are young and friendly - Esquires is actually a NZ franchise and how it made it's way to Woking I will never fathom.
