Little Italy Espresso

Hidden gem in a Buckinghamshire village! Exceptional food and friendly service. I’ve always managed to get a table. Lovely courtyard at the back for summer seating and they offer take away too, worth a visit

So this place is wonderful. Maria in Wendover makes a wonderful Flat White with Union coffee beans and her bacon, Brie and cranberry sauce baguette is a thing of beauty. In my opinion, the best place for a decent coffee in the area. Highly recommended.

Last time we came to haddenham we visited this cafe a couple of time. It’s a great place to eat and chill and has a good menu. It has now changed its name to NORSK and I have reviews my December visit under the new name. Highly recommended a great find. View menu

The pic is of the outlet at the top of Townside. Came here 3 years ago and found it so welcoming that we moved from Uxbridge to Townside. Never regretted it for a second. An ideal introduction to the best community in the UK. The Cappuccino is still to die for!

Wow, what a gem for a relaxed lunch my daughter and I had an amazing lunch in a busy but buzzing atmosphere great service and superb menu. Feta and griddled corn on sour dough. We are planning a revisit having seen the have roasted veg and goats cheese as a special this month.

I had to change trains here and there was a delay so I tried the Little Italy outlet in the station. The service was ok and the prices were not too high. The cafe is quite drafty with passengers coming and going. The coffee was average and the pastry not as fresh as I would have liked. Average. View menu

Stopped to quickly buy a sandwich and drink for my onward train journey, spied what I expected to be some nice sandwiches wrapped in brown paper in the glass counter. Don't be deceived like me!, once on the train I unwrapped to find a cheapest of cheap soggy sliced white bread sandwich wrapped in cling film with sweaty limp lettuce. For the hefty price of nearly £5 I was expecting something better.

Always preferring independent coffee shops to the large national chains, and this one (now renamed Norsk, with a lovely Scandinavian vibe) reminds me why. Sharp looking and chilled ambience, lovely food and outstanding coffee. Friendly staff who treat you as real people, and not merely additions to the daily sales figures well done to all. We take no persuading to return, and will definitely do so when visiting Haddenham in the future.

So sad to find out that our favourite Little Italy (Wendover) cafe has closed. Maria didn't only serve the best coffee in Wendover but also the best cakes (especially chocolate chip banana cake) and flapjacks. My husband swears by her flapjacks, he's tried everywhere but nothing compared! We're lucky to get some a week ago to take to France at least. Not been able to say goodbye to her, if you were able to get this I wish you all the best. Missing your lively, smiley face already (even if it was only 6am), good luck to your new site. To train commuters, if you see Little Italy please try them they have the best caffeine fix you'll get on your journey, highly recommended. View menu
