~Little Italy Espresso Bar~....

Cafe Review:
Little Italy Espresso Bar
Haddenham, Nr Thame. Buckinghamshire, HP17 8EJ, UK

               My Bike club – VC10, use this pretty little cafe frequently, starting or finishing rides here.

 The unlikely place for such a cosmopolitan ‘Espresso Bar’ is next to the forge in a small village, Haddenham, a maze of narrow alleys, thatched cottages and an impressive village green with a well populated duck pond.

Home-made cakes and brownies support your coffee break, where Own-label coffee is not too dark, not too strong and not too roasted and available for purchase as ground or beans, so you can make it at home.

Lunch of interesting salads, toasted goodies and the ever present, ever dry, ever horrible Panini are available, on white or brown, as are some nice sandwiches.

                     I’d like to see more wheat-free things, but that’s perhaps just a personal choice.

 Decking at the rear of the premises allows a sheltered area to grab any winter sun, and, perhaps equally important, the neighbours, with, apparently, one notable exception, are as friendly and welcoming as the staff. I’m of the opinion that independently-owned is almost always better, and Little Italy is one of Britain’s best examples.

Parking is also fairly acceptable for such a small village, with the cafe having an agreement with the local Indian Restaurant (opposite) to use some spaces otherwise not in use during daytime.
Try a ride over Chiltern scarps and through wooded beech lanes, or over exposed hilltops such as Winchendon, or perhaps something quiet and flat across the Aylesbury vale. Access to the area can also be had by train, with a local station at Thame and Haddenham Parkway.

                                          Little Italy has a gorgeous set up...very Scandenavian
