About

Esquires (formerly styled as Esquires Coffee) was founded in 1993 in Delta, British Columbia, Canada by entrepreneurs Doug Williamson and Gary Buckland. Beginning its journey as a single community coffee shop, the brand was built on a strong foundation of excellent coffee and creating a welcoming community space.

What started as one cafe with a simple mission to serve the best coffee around quickly resonated with customers, laying the groundwork for an international, ethical coffee franchise that has continued to thrive over the past decades.
