Little Italy Espresso - Aylesbury Vale

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

Coffee while waiting for train to London. Ordered a Latte. Decent coffee. Good quick service from the friendly South African lady.

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!

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.

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.
