Nena Craft Bakery in Chiltern

Nena makes one of the best espressos I’ve had in the UK. The coffee is awesome. I drive ten miles to have a coffee here rather than have a vastly inferior coffee locally. Their Pasta Del Nata’s are wonderful, the pastry is fine and flakey/crispy, and the custard perfect, not overly sweet. They really delight the senses with a light dusting of cinnamon. Every pasty I’ve tried is fresh and delicious, the cheesecake is an experience. If there was a criticism, I’d say their sourdoughs are a bit light, not quite as springy crumb as others, but otherwise, it’s the perfect bakery/cafe/restaurant. 10/10!!

Berkhamsted store was previously a reliable option for lunch, but l was disappointed that they refused to make a sandwich with gluten free bread today, despite having done so before.

Ordered a chicken burger and then had to have a plain ham and cheese toasted sourdough sandwich since the salami, ham and mozzarella sandwich was not available. One black americano and one vanilla latte £25.40 !!!!! The chicken burger £9.50 ok maybe fair enough if was good quality, but was nothing special and size of a single brioche roll. The ham and cheese toastie £9.00 !!! Absolute daylight robbery. No prices advertised on these on the shelf. When brought to table the chicken burger was cold so asked them to heat up. Came back and only the bun was warm, chicken was still cold. Accompaniment for both was some leaf with completely tasteless dressing that we didnt even touch. One plus point was the coffee was good. First and only visit to this place. Can spend £9 on a whole eat in lunch of better quality than a ham & cheese toastie elsewhere.

Really nice, if expensive, specialist bakery with a good selection of imaginative pastries. The proportion with nuts in was rather high, which considering how many people don’t eat them feels a bit of a miscalculation. But very happy with this new kid on the block in Amersham

Buzzing, vibrant cafe serving delicious food and great coffee. We were with family for a Mother's Day get together. Of course I had to have the special Mothers Day Ruby croissant. It was enormous! But I shared . 😄. To die for. Will certainty go there again.
