Esquire's II
Inside Esquire's II
Esquire's II is a straightforward, no-frills café tucked inside the Atlantic City train station, catering primarily to travelers and locals on the go. The vibe here reflects its location—a practical stop for quick, satisfying bites rather than a leisurely coffee break. It’s the type of place where efficiency meets comfort, offering familiar breakfast and lunch staples with enough character to make grabbing a meal or snack feel a little less rushed.
Best known for hearty sandwiches like the grilled cheese Reuben, Esquire's II serves up toasted, well-roasted bread and generous portions of meat, though some find the cheese a bit heavy-handed. The turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on a Kaiser roll is a standout for those in hurry, frequently ready in just a few minutes, which is key for catching trains or fitting into a busy schedule. Their hash browns get attention for being crisp and well-seasoned, adding a classic touch to the morning lineup.
The coffee here leans toward the standard side—not specialty, but reliable enough to accompany a quick bite. Staff here make an effort to accommodate requests, including brewing decaf when it’s not immediately available, demonstrating a care that helps the station feel a bit more welcoming. Prices are sensible given the prime, travel-centric location, offering a more affordable alternative to boardwalk or casino concessions.
Visitors can expect a friendly, familiar atmosphere where the baristas know regulars and even large groups by name—this has clearly made Esquire's II a go-to for events like the Atlantic City boat show, where speedy, personalized orders keep a busy crew fueled. It’s a practical stop for commuters, vacationers heading to the boardwalk, or anyone looking for a quick, hearty sandwich or simple coffee without the fuss.
For those passing through or starting their day in Atlantic City, Esquire's II provides a steady, approachable option that fits seamlessly into the station’s fast pace, making it easy to grab a solid meal and keep moving.
