About Esters in Kynaston Road
Esters serves a short, creative menu made from scratch and inspired by local produce. Most of its baked goods are made in-house with UK-grown grains, and it takes celebration-cake orders with a week’s notice. Ozone Coffee appears in the café’s list of supplier thanks, though the site does not say what is on the grinder today.
