Filipettos, Little Chalfont

Progress Bakery, 14 Chenies Parade, Chalfont Station Rd, Little Chalfont, Amersham HP7 9PH
Italian coffee is often darker, stronger and smokier than what I would seek out but that doesn’t mean I avoid it altogether. The West end of Amersham and Little Chalfont village aren’t exactly flooded with great coffee shops, certainly not within working distance of my office, and so I turn to Filipettos as a saviour of my afternoon coffee.

An eclectically cluttered delicatessen it’s filled to the gills with pastries and panettone, canoli and gelato but a short, sharp coffee is what I get, surprisingly with oat milk available too.

It’s a curt, simple coffee that serves up delight in its practical, industrious ability to wake me up and it’s great to find somewhere serving something prodigiously better than the Costa next door.
