  “Come with an empty stomach because the portions are gigantic! I was absolutely stuffed after this meal. We ordered a slow-cooked pork sandwich and the fig toast. I personally loved the fig toast — the gentle sweetness of the honey with the creamy mascarpone was amazing.”

  “Stumbled across this place whilst looking for a spot to sit down, read and people-watch. Not very obvious to notice but clearly popular as there was constantly people queuing - and I can see why! I had the corn fritter which was absolutely amazing - a lovely unique dish that was presented beautifully and packed a flavour punch! The seating was slightly awkward as there’s one large table inside but it added to the quirkiness and I quite enjoyed it. The staff were absolutely delightful! Super friendly, looked after me well, served some amazing drinks and made sure I was comfortable. A special mention for the playlist they had on that day mixed with old school jazz and R&B which pleasantly disturbed me from reading my book. Looking forward to visiting again when I’m back in London! Thanks Abuelo Team!”

  “One of the best coffees I’ve ever had. I’ve had plenty of coffee over the years, and this one at Abuelo really stood out. The first sip was quite acidic, but after that the flavour opened up and became much more balanced, with plenty of depth and interesting notes. Really excellent coffee. Unfortunately, the place was close to closing when we arrived, so we couldn’t sit down and had to get it as a takeaway. A shame, especially since we would have loved to enjoy it properly in the café, in one of their beautiful cups.”

  “Walked in around 1:30 on Sunday, luckily only had to wait for 10 mins. We had the signature Fig toast and the Credo (pork sandwich). Fig toast was lacking a bit texture and flavour. Very pretty but not as good in taste. I ate the pork sandwich first when it’s hot which was really good, only the bread was slightly over toasted but doesn’t affect the taste. Worth a try if there isn’t a long queue.”

  “really great coffee and service! my husband ordered a cappuccino with skim milk and honey and I ordered a latte with oatmilk and maple syrup. Both were really well balanced, not overly sweet but not bitter either. I also ordered the banana bread which is topped with vanilla ricotta, honeycomb, and toasted coconut. This was also so yummy, and a much bigger portion than I was expecting. The barista and waitstaff were very helpful as well. Overall, I think Abuelo is very flexible and can suit anyone’s coffee preferences and is worth a visit!”

  “Been knowing Abuelo for a long time - from their Instagramable Fig Toast. Finally tried out - very stylish but small indoor space, queued for about 25min on a busy Sunday. Tried out - Fig Toast 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Pork Toast 🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Banana Bread 🌟🌟🌟 Amazing presentation of all dishes. Flavour was good. Worth a visit? Yes Worth the hype or queue? Maybe”

  “An absolutely stunning place, in a great surrounding too. Perfect spot to grab a seat outside with classic London views, while the inside is equally beautiful. Natural materials, warm wood tones, and attention to detail everywhere you look. The menu felt brunch-oriented to me, with many appealing options, and the matcha was amazing. Easily one of the brightest green matchas I’ve had, plus they offer different variations for people who like trying something new. Left feeling inspired and sunny in my heart on a gloomy London day.”

  “★★★★★ Abuelo London is an absolute gem and one of the highlights of my trip. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish, making it the perfect place to relax over brunch or coffee. The food was outstanding, with every dish beautifully presented and packed with flavour. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, and the menu offered a creative twist on classic favourites. The coffee was equally impressive—rich, smooth, and expertly brewed. What truly elevated the experience was the friendly and attentive service. The staff were genuinely welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or just a great cup of coffee, Abuelo is a must-visit in London. I can see why it has such a loyal following and will definitely be returning on my next visit. Highly recommended!”

  “Great spot. Smaller than expected but cosy communal vibe and loved the interior design. Friendly staff, got a walk in table as my reservation email hadn't come through. Was very happy to be seated inside. Dulce de leche iced coffee was tasty and we enjoyed the pan y fruta. The lime zest and ginger were perfectly balanced. Big portions. Huevos chimichurri also lovely. Everything was well seasoned and flavoured. Tasted the quality in every bite.”
