National coffee shop brand Esquires Coffee opened its new store at Kingsgrove in Wantage on Wednesday 23 September.
The new store serves a wide selection of coffees, other hot and cold drinks, pastries and freshly prepared food, including a traditional English breakfast.
The store is open from 7.30am to 5pm from Monday to Saturday and from 8am to 4pm on Sundays.
Esquires Coffee has more than 80 stores across the UK. Each is independently owned and operated, combining the standards of an established national brand with the welcoming atmosphere of a local coffee shop.
All Esquires coffee is organic and Fairtrade certified, while its wider menu includes vegetarian and vegan choices, dairy alternatives and ingredients sourced locally where possible.
Cllr Andrew Crawford, Cabinet Member for Property, Housing and Economic Development at Vale of White Horse District Council, said:
“The arrival of Esquires Coffee is great news for Kingsgrove and another exciting addition to the growing neighbourhood centre. Alongside the Co-op and Little Pioneers Nursery and Pre-school, it gives local residents and the wider Wantage community even more reasons to visit, meet up and spend time locally.
“It’s fantastic to see the centre continuing to grow and bringing more useful facilities and businesses closer to people’s homes.”
Simmi Arneja, one of the owners of Esquires Coffee Wantage, said:
“We are excited to have opened at Kingsgrove and to be part of the local community. Our aim is to create a warm and welcoming place where people can enjoy great coffee and food, whether they are meeting friends, having breakfast or simply stopping by during the day.
“The whole team is looking forward to welcoming our new neighbours.”
Tom Tracey, Estate Manager at Kingsgrove, said:
“Esquires gives residents and the wider community a welcoming new place to meet and spend time, while adding to the range of useful amenities available within walking distance of people’s homes. We look forward to seeing Esquires become part of the Kingsgrove community.”
