As for what sets this apart from the other independent cafes in Amersham, ALSK has a menu of Asian dishes. In 1999, the launch of OldTown White Coffee Classic 3-in-1 Instant, fulfilled the dream of allowing ordinary folk to bring OldTown’s special brew back into their homes.

While there are a few chains (Costa, Café Nero and Harris + Hoole) the majority of the town’s cafes are independent. If you’re looking for somewhere for a coffee and a natter with your best friends, or a chic brunch spot for some smashed avocado on sourdough, this is the place to go.I wouldn’t say this is a top choice for a quiet coffee with a friend, but if you’re hungry, it’s the place to go. The secret lies in the full-bodied broth simmered slowly for hours with whole chicken for a deeply satisfying broth. Our popular Cheong Fun, steamed meat and vegetable dumplings are now joined by new fried dim sum selections like Fried Jade Sesame Balls and Seafood Beancurd Rolls. The Grocer at 91 is more of a posh deli, selling local ingredients such as chutneys, gins and cheeses.

From The Grocer in Old Amersham to Café Africa and the Crazy Goat Co in Amersham-on-the-Hill, it’s time for a whistle-stop tour of the best cafes in Amersham. It always seemed strange to me to see people sitting enjoying coffees with the sound of hairdryers in the background, but I guess it all adds to the buzz of the place!OldTown Berhad ( doing business as OldTown White Coffee; Chinese: 舊街場白咖啡; MYX: 5201) is Malaysia's largest halal-certified [5] coffee restaurant chain. In terms of food, there’s a big menu featuring standard brunch dishes (poached eggs, full English etc), acai bowls, sandwiches and salads. After 5 years running their successful travel blogs, An Adventurous World and Wanderlust Chloe, they launched this site in 2020, to shine a light on their home country of Great Britain. My sister introduced me to this independent café – it’s always been one of her favourite spots in Amersham’s new town.

OLDTOWN's array of bread offerings are made fresh from scratch in our central bakery, using high grade wheat flour and quality ingredients. This is the only vegan café in Amersham, so if you’re looking for healthy treats or something to suit your diet, definitely visit Café Africa. If you’re looking for somewhere for a cuppa and a slice of cake, there are plenty of sweet treats available too. Our signature brown bread and toasts are created from our very own unique generations-old-recipe for that aroma and crunch, while our steamed bread are wonderfully soft and fluffy. Get your taste buds ready for chicken satay burgers, dhal, rice bowls topped with seasonal greens and sambal, banh mi and soy mushrooms on toast.I spoke to the team there too, who had aspirations of introducing boozy brunches, gin tastings and jazz nights.
