Whoop Der It is! First to Review! That's right y'all.... Hop on that tube and get on over to Roots!…read moreThey have great WiFi too! Roots is a super cute and modern coffee shop located in the city center of Chesham. While there are a few chain coffee shops in the area, I highly discourage you going there. The quality of coffee and service is just not the same as what you'll get here. Delicious latte and Almond Croissants, served by a gorgeous, tatted English guy. They need to make sure he works 7 days a week so we can catch him at work. Just sayin :-) I was here for both the caffeine fix and eye candy. Still not sure which was priority. Their selection of pastries is impressive, and left me a bit torn on having to choose just one item. You'll also notice that the plants inside are for purchase. I visited Roots on two separate occasions while staying with a friend in the area. They were very busy on the Saturday morning for breakfast. A lot of foot traffic, with families, and elderly couples. Pretty sure I stood out like a "hot guy from California" in the village, but oh well. OR the only Asian guy in town. This is a typical coffee shop you would find in San Francisco or Los Angeles. I'd totally camp out here with my laptop during my days off work if it was just a bit closer to home. Seating is mostly at the tables, but there is also a little lounge area with a large soft. Hint: If you sit here, you can stare at the gorgeous man behind the counter (perfectly normal bahavior). I wonder if they'll deliver a latte to Los Angeles.....

When we first moved to Chesham. We always look for a decent coffee shop. The coffee is great and…read morethe food is always good. It is a little on the expensive side but you pay for what you get. The vibe is chill and they sell other extras like plants. Fully recommend going to Roots rather than one of the larger "those who will not be named" franchises. Whenever we go past there is always a buzz there. Whether that is a small group going in for lunch and some coffee or the individual person on their MacBook, clearly choosing to work in the comfort of Roots with good coffee close by. The outside seating is always a win on a hot day, especially paired with an iced coffee or tea.

Considering how tiny a macchiato is I couldn't bring myself to finishing it. Not sure why, perhaps they don't check their coffee grind size daily. Come here if you want a tea and comfy surroundings. Don't come here for coffee.

Large coffee shop with generous seating. The interior is fairly dark. Plenty of tables for working…read more The pastry selection has the typical coffee shop faire. Nothing extra-ordinary. The staff is pleasant, but young and not terribly professional. Ok spot if you want a place to work for several hours.

This place is simply magical. Run with love by entrepreneur and owner Richard Elkington, a…read moreconsummate networker who makes everyone feel welcome, young and old. It's my favourite music and arts venue locally and wonderful for meet-ups, whether personal or business. Richard has a wide variety of events taking place, with art in abundance, regular gigs, a writing group, a book group, backgammon and on Thursday mornings it becomes "Ivan's Home" as a tribute to Richard's brother which is aimed at people who want to meet other people in the community, or those who might feel lonely or isolated. Cakes, tea and coffee are available and Becky Willoughby, a friendly Counsellor is present if you want to chat. The food is lovely, the coffee excellent, the staff welcoming and it's far superior to the corporate chains which litter Chesham. Do yourself a favour and discover this gem of a place

Personally I cannot stand this place, although to be fair some of my friends love it…read more The concept of a relaxed but classy cafe cum art gallery in the centre of Chesham is a good one, but this place just doesn't deliver. The food is mediocre at best, but often pretty revolting; and more disturbingly one is confronted by the 'art' wherever you look. I'm no prude, but the art here is essentially women, naked, and LOTS of them. Everywhere you look there are pudenda and breasts gazing back at you! OK, nothing wrong with the naked body, it's often very beautiful, but to be this obsessed with naked women hints at a bit of a problem to me. Why isn't there any other art? Why are there no naked male models? Why do I have to look at these boobs and genitalia for an hour whilst eating my lunch?? Well actually no I don't, do I, so once been never go back in my case - see what you think!

It's set inside a very old building with seating inside & out.

In a sleepy little shopping district, you will find a little groceria / catering / deli shop run by a couple of real Italian dudes. They carry all kinds of real-deal Italian dry pastas and sauces. Jeez, I had no idea that Barilla made Bolognese sauce as well as Genovese pesto. They also had a small, but comprehensive wine selection, organized by region of Italy. Let's get on to the food, shall we? The have some prepared food, but the big hit is their gelato, which was voted a top choice by readers of Time Out London and their Panini. For the panini they start with fresh bread, then slice high-quality meats and cheeses to order, such as prosciutto di Parma, speck, you name it. I had the breaded chicken breast panini with sliced provolone and sun-dried tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious and astonishing how such a simple sandwich can be so good. The service was great too. The Italian dudes were very pleasant and seemed to have lots of regulars that they were on a first-name basis with and greeted with a "ciao tarde". Now if I could only get them to open up a store in my apartment building....
