Abuelo Marylebone - Review - Marylebone - London - The Infatuation

"We can’t walk past this Marylebone cafe without feeling an intense urge to go inside and redesign our entire home to match Abuelo’s gorgeous interiors. Beautiful dark wood and chrome fittings aside, the food at this popular spot is for anyone who spends a significant amount of time in the fancy crackers section of Waitrose and refers to organic milk as an “investment”. Dishes go between an easy assembly job (cc the literal ‘bit of everything plate’) that you can skip, and homely breakfasts like a Spanish tortilla topped with caramelised onions, spicy mayo, and fresh labneh that’s worth an order. But the real pull here is the room. So drink a salted vanilla cream matcha and eat a carrot cake that’s as pretty as the interiors, and take plenty of snaps in the process. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Tortilla This potato and cheese omelette is salty and sweet from the caramelised onions on top. Order this if you’re hungry. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Bit Of Everything Plate You’ll see the description—“vanilla fig & miso house jam, comte cheese, whipped butter, soft boiled egg and fresh sourdough” and think it’s a combination of these ingredients in a prepared dish. But, no. It is just all of those things, on a plate, and it is underwhelming to say the least. Salted Vanilla Cream Matcha Abuelo is by far the most generous spot when it comes to the amount of cream on its matcha. The salted vanilla takes up almost half the entire cup and when mixed in, gives the matcha a nice subtle sweetness and the perfect creamy texture. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Rianne Shlebak

A hidden gem! This coffee and wine bar is the perfect blend of minimalism and warmth. The earthy decor creates a calm, inviting atmosphere, simple yet so thoughtfully designed. The staff are incredibly friendly and made the experience even better with their attentive and genuine service. I tried their matcha, and it’s hands down the best in London- smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re stopping in for a quiet coffee or an evening glass of wine, this place gets everything right.

Lovely breakfast spot with great coffee, friendly (though slightly slow) service, and a charming, unique interior. Most dishes were enjoyable, except the French toast, which had an unbalanced cheese topping. Still worth a visit.

Abuelo is a cozy café with a warm vibe and great coffee—smooth and well made. However, the food menu is a bit limited, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. It could really use more inclusive options. Still, it’s a pleasant place for a quick coffee or casual catch-up.

Loved the vibe here! Minimal and stylish with wooden decor, and plenty of seating. The coffee was nice too. I dropped by on a Wednesday evening close to closing, so it was pretty quiet (perfect timing😆)

Loved the decor, the food (that mince toast was such a pleasant surprise, and HUGE), the coffee also. Prices are slightly above average but considering the location and the generous 5% service charge, I’m happy to pay up to support a small business with such passion and hard work behind it. Can get a bit busy though, make sure to book at least a week in advance for peak brunch time during weekends.

This vibe and design of this place is beautiful, but I felt disappointed by the food and service. I will say the food and drinks look visually great, but I felt the quality wasn’t amazing, especially the dry bread. Also got the popular matcha drink and despite the nice color, it was so watery and mostly cold foam. My biggest complaint about this place is the service. The staff are extremely lax and didn’t greet us upon entry despite there not being a line. It took a long time for someone to take our order and trying to get the bill was extremely hard. We made eye contact multiple times with staff, who seemed to just be standing around chatting with each other. We asked one worker if he could itemize our bill and he randomly gave us attitude. If this place worked on the service, it would be such a nice place.

Best coffee I have had in London! The coffee was smooth, delicious and had surprisingly chocolatey notes. The cafe is appropriate for a formal meeting rather than a laptop session. I had to leave earlier than I wanted as I attracted quite a few mosquitoes but I would’ve liked to stay for longer.

Overall, it's a nice place. The flat white is delicious, especially the toast with stracchino, jamón, and honey. I didn't like the other sandwich. I don't really like the fact that you have to order everything inside, even though you're sitting outside, but that's okay. I was there in the rain, and it didn't bother me to sit outside. I recommend going if you're nearby. You can really find something delicious on the menu.
