Cafe Paolo in Barnet

This place is a gem! I was visiting London and stopped in here and had to come back a second time because it was just that good! Amazing and delicious breakfast and wonderfully kind staff. Will certainly make this a stop every time I’m in London 🙂

Great atmosphere can have a laugh, friendliest staff. I can officially say it’s one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had bar none can’t fault it. Good quality breakfast for that price. Will definitely come again. Thank you Paolo your the best👍🏾

Food is amazing, they open early in the morning, the food is always fresh and taste great. Stuff is great and friendly. Overall is the best coffe shop in Acton town

Such a lovely, happy atmosphere. Food was superb and staff so generous. Had a smoothie and sweet waffle and couldn't recommend it enough. A real local community feel. Thank you both!

Best breakfast I have ever had. Food cooked to perfection and having it in a skillet pan ensured it was hot from start to finish!! Will definitely be going back again. Only had to wait for an hour having not booked and seeing the cafe full on arrival. Friendly service from all.

We visited 3 times during our stay Paul was lovely and the full English was amazing!

Best breakfast in London and chef is a legend

I went because many food reviewers say it's the best breakfast in London, and to be honest I can't think of a better one. I had the Full English breakfast and it was faultless!

Excellent service and tasty food...

Had the most lovely family lunch for Mother’s Day a couple of weeks ago. The owner of the restaurant was lovely and friendly and really made us feel comfortable. Such a lovely afternoon. The food was so delicious! And very good quality too. You can tell the food was cooked with love! Would most definitely be going back again. Would recommend this cafe to anyone! You will enjoy your meal and the rest of your afternoon.

Had the" Paolo's Breakfast," which was a decent size portion. Tomatoes were not cooked properly and needed to be grilled for longer. A tad overpriced at £15.75. Although came with toast doesn't come with tea/coffee, which for that price should be as standard, as it is in most other cafes I've been in. I have wanted to check this place out for a long time after reading the positive reviews. Good service and friendly staff. Would come again.👍🏾

Hands down best breakfast in all of London! Huge portions prepared with love and care. Severed with the biggest smile and an absolute value for money!

Probably the best full English I've ever had. Looking forward to working my way through the rest of the menu. I take my hat off to everyone.

Best authentic English breakfast I have tried. I go there all the time. I have wasted so much money on that place, that I should probably stop, but it's that bloody good. Recommended

Amazing food and very friendly staff,recommended!

The best Full English breakfast in London! Everyone I was with loved their food too and the service is fantastic. Will definitely be coming back again

I've been here only once and ordered decaf cappuccino, but unfortunately it was not good at all! I understand that it's a local business but the quality of decaf coffee and oat milk was low and tasted like water! The barista was friendly.

Had the full English in here today and it was the best. Well worth the money. Quality well cooked food and great portions. Highly recommended. My missus had the salmon, avocado and scrambled egg and this was also amazing. Great little find for me, Definitely will visit next time I'm in the area

Very helpful and accommodating staff. Lovely food, good value. Was hard to choose just one thing from the menu! Big portions too. Sadly didn't take pics of the food as I couldn't wait to eat it!

Amazing food , amazing portions , amazing service , great prices 10/10

Great portions, great food! 5 stars for sure.

Great food and great companyfood was absolutely delicious I enjoyed my time Smoothie was so cold and refreshing so fresh

Cafe Paolo was incredible!! I’ve been hoping to go here for a while and I’m so glad I did! Food was lovely and there’s so much variety - it was so hard to pick!! I will definitely be back!!

Proper local caff in lots of ways - friendly staff, great portions, loads of regulars. Sets an unusually high bar in the range and quality of the food on offer - all fantastic value and freshly cooked to order. Best breakfast spot I have found in London

Had an amazing breakfast, serwed with veggie sausages, pancakes, fresh fruits, scrambled eggs and maple syrup, liked the taste and atmosphere within the cafe!

Best full English breakfast I’ve ever had

Amazing food and fantastic service, highly recommended this place and the waffle breakfast Food was delicious, presentation was 10 and on time also

The food here is absolutely amazing! And the customer service is top tier!! This is better than a lot of high end restaurant food and is affordable too as it tastes so fresh! Will be coming back!

Of all the full english breakfasts I've tasted up and down this great green land, none compare with Cafe Paolo. Splendidio.

The best cafe in London . Breakfasts . Lunches . Dinners . All great value and to an amazing standard. So lucky to have this close to me . Healthy and extremely tasty !!

Just lovely. Fresh, well cooked, very pleasant staff. Service NOT included but I thoroughly recommend rewarding great service with a tip. Slightly more expensive than a "caff" but....goodness!!! So much better. Going again this Saturday.

Pequeño café, mejor reservar. Personal muy amable y propietario. La comida es increíble y muy buena relación calidad-precio. Tuve el inglés completo, y sin duda está lleno. Mi esposa tomó el desayuno mediterráneo que parecía igualmente delicioso. El té era té apropiado.

Had such a lovely time at this cafe!! The food was absolutely AMAZING, I’m gonna be dreaming about it for agesss! Prices are very very good and the portion sizes are even better. The staff were sooo kind it literally feels like we’re eating with a family. Big big love to Paul and Daria and everyone else working, I will most definitely be back!

Amazing food, the best restaurant in Europe! Paolo is the best in the west! 🌍❤️

Loved being here. Delicious food, decorated with so much love and heart. Also service is really nice and easy-every day. Thanks a lot for having us Paolo!

We had brunch today at Cafe Paolo, and this was hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in a very long time. The ambience was so nice, the customer service was lovely and the food itself was absolutely amazing, I’d definitely recommend the American, the pancakes were so soft and tasted amazing with the maple syrup. I will most certainly be back and I’m very much looking forward to it. Special thanks to Paul, Daria and Suzanna, you guys are amazing 🩷

One of the best (if not the best) cafe in London. The food is incredible, large portions and very tasty. They use real sausages and the fry up comes in a sizzling frying pan! Highly recommended!

This was one of the best meals we had in London. It’s a beautiful little cafe, with very genuine service and amazing food. The portions are so generous and perfectly cooked. We wish we went here sooner so we could’ve come back. Would highly recommend for breakfast, brunch and lunch!

Great service. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Best in the business by far! Cafe Paolo is just in a tier of its own! I work a stones throw away from it and we visit so often.. if it’s just for a quick coffee.. or if it’s for his egg muffin meal deals! It’s so good I even bring family here on my days off from work and we have a beautifully cooked breakfast every time! We came today.. and it was just as it always is.. perfect! From the food to the service! Can’t fault it at all. Thank you Paul! See you on Monday for a vanilla latte! Thank you, Samir

Excellent food and drinks. A must know in Acton. My omelette was big and delicious.

Wow. Came here on a recommendation from Gary eats on YouTube and I was not disappointed. The breakfast was truly incredible and one of the best I’ve ever eaten. The rest of the family had a various different dishes and each one of them cooked the service was outstanding. I literally cannot praise Café Paolo enough.

I've given it a lot of thought over the last couple of weeks, since accidentally coming across this absolute gem... probably an obsessive amount, actually. It has to be THE best full English I've ever had. I cannot wait for another opportunity to work in the area and go there again!!!

Very nice food & the coffee is 10/10 ☕️✨

Best cafe is the best cafe I’ve been too. Owner works on floor doing everything. Very friendly and is a must visit if you love food. One spot you cant miss

Very good service, delicious food! Wonderful atmosphere in the cafe. Would definitely go again and recommend to others!

Great food, great service, great vibes

This place is an absolute gem! The food was next-level—everything was cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. I had the American pancakes with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, golden hash browns, and the softest pancakes dusted with powdered sugar, paired with fresh fruit and maple syrup. Every bite was unreal! On top of that, the vibe was just as good as the food—cozy, welcoming, and the perfect spot. If you’re looking for a brunch that hits the spot, this is the place to be. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

I had a very good omelette and hot chocolate. You will tell me "easy"! Not that easy to make an excellent omelette. Even more difficult to make a very good chocolate. Well done Café Paolo.

I’ve never experienced a café like it, Paolo & the girls who help him run the place are absolutely amazing. The food is just another level its always delicious, piping hot and great value for money. Myself and my partner are here on a regular basis and if you have never visited this spot before, you’re missing out!

Definitely the best café, not just in the area but probably in West London. The food is phenomenal and the Staff are the friendliest ever. Great food great people equals great experience. Can’t wait to come again.

I LOVE PAOLOS! Been here a few times and the food is excellent, staff are accommodating and vibe is lovely. Will be back🍳🥞☕️

I loved it. I've been twice now so I waited to see if the experience was a fluke before giving this review but the service was consistently good both times. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was cozy. The staff were very friendly and quick.

This place is offering people money that they won't get in return for a fake 5 star review. Edit I have never been called a troll in my life. The feedback I provided reflects my personal experience, and I stand by it. I am not hiding bwhind anything! Additionally, the screenshot I’ve included shows the message I received asking me to leave a 5-star review in exchange for money! I’m open to having a constructive conversation if there’s been any misunderstanding.so if you’d like to share your side or clarify anything, I’m more than willing to listen and discuss it further

Best beakfast ever and possibly the best Capuccino and Latte s in the whole west london

Received a message telling me to review this cafe im exchange for money, something like £5 per star. Went through the reviews and it seemed like they all had 5 stars, which leaves me wondering if they were bribed.

Great service, great food and great value. The owner Paul couldn't do enough to make sure whatever you wanted to eat was catered for.

The food and experience was so nice. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Really recommend to come here with company, definitely will enjoy it😁

Really Enjoyed. The taste, the quicker service and enjoyable environment.

Wonderful food and excellent service by the way, I really had fun.

This is undeniably the best place in London for breakfast. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and friendly.

Best Cafe in London. Always a warm welcome and great choice of dishes cooked fresh to order every time and the owner takes time to look after his customers and lovely staff there too

Great service and excellent food i recommend to all my family and friends

Great place to go, good food, very popular. I would recommend giving it a try, you'll be pleased..

breakfasts are simply the best!

Amazing place great food and great service the qtmosphere is unmatched thank you

Amazing food, great atmosphere and the service was quick and the staff was so friendly. I will return and tell all my friends about this place.

First visit enjoyed, service was amazing, food great, environment nice, great outdoor look out, staff was amazing very polite and well spoken

It was an awesome experience there the food was brilliant as well

Tengo la suerte de que cuando vengo a Acton a visitar a mi hijo me lleva al Café Paulo a desayunar. Nunca he logrado terminar mi comida ya que obtiene porciones increíbles, la calidad de los ingredientes es fantástica y la presentación es insuperable. Las instalaciones están impecables y bien mantenidas y el personal es amable y trabajador y siempre comprueba que todo está bien. Esperamos con interés mi próxima visita.

The best breakfast/brunch place in London, food is amazing, staff is accommodating and nice, Paolo is an amazing chef . 10/10

Lovely food a friendly service everytime, favourite place to come in London!

Este lugar, es sin duda el mejor desayuno que he tenido ... y he estado un poco ... Lo vi en GARY EATS en el you tube, y vivo bastante cerca, así que fui allí esta mañana... Yo tenía el inglés completo, mi esposa, el Mediteraran, y mi hijo tenía las tortitas americanas ... Todo estaba en el lugar, y con un personal muy amable que dirigía el espectáculo (Paulo estaba muy ocupado, pero todavía tenía tiempo para una charla . . . juego limpio) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Upbeat, welcoming and delicious. Would highly recommend to give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Amazing place and great service - the guy running the place is a gem

An absolute fantastic cafe. The breakfast was amazing and the atmosphere is first class. By far the best cafe in London. The owner is brilliant too! Many thanks

Incredible cafe and food that is let down constantly by the waitresses - as many reviews suggest, extremely rude, dismissive and only favour certain type of clientele. The chef (and the owner I believe) is a very good man, friendly and positive and makes delicious food. But the way the cafe is operated means I’ll sadly not be returning after nearly a year of putting up with the poor service.

Absolutamente excepcional y con diferencia el mejor lugar para desayunar en Londres. Ingredientes de calidad y porciones fabulosas. El propietario es fantástico también. Gracias y nos vemos pronto!

Best breakfast I had ever! Great portion , amazing quality and what a service! It's a gem in Acton!

Great food, friendly staff and owner, good value and generous portion size. Will be back!

What a cosy little gem! Had seen this spot repeatedly but never visited until a few days back. The pricing is fair - about £15 for a full English or equivalent with really solid portions and high quality food. The sausages and hash brown were exceptionally good, clearly homemade with care. Milkshakes were also great. It is busy so book or go early ( we went around 10). Friendly staff, great food and reasonable prices, honestly can't go wrong and will be back!

Been here few times in last couple of months for a breakfast and tried variety of breakfast now, never been let down, from the full English to the waffles everything is great.

Café Paolo's era exactamente lo que estábamos buscando! El desayuno en Londres! Pedimos el desayuno de Paolo y el inglés completo que eran enormes y deliciosos! El personal era excepcional y atendió a nuestras necesidades. Este lugar es una necesidad absoluta! ¡Gracias a Paolo y al equipo por cuidarnos! Sin duda volveremos!

Cafe Paolo’s was exactly what we were looking for! The breakfast in London! We ordered the Paolo’s breakfast & the full English which were huge and delicious! The staff were exceptional and catered to our needs. This place is an absolute must! Thank you to Paolo & the team for looking after us! We will definitely be back!

If you want the best breakfast in London, this is the place to be, Paulo’s cafe is truly exceptional, wherever you are in the country make the trip down to this place. You will not regret it, the staff are caring and truly get a kick out of satisfying your needs through their exceptional food and wholesome and caring customer service. To the staff, you have made a truly unique place with special food and people. And lastly thank you for taking the yoke out of my egg it’s the best I have ever had!

Love going to this cafe, I work in the area few cafes around but by far my favourite. Service with a smile everytime without fail. I've tried a fair few things on the menu from there breakfasts, sandwiches, omlettes to there burgers! Recommend it all, work your way through the menu! The waiter and owner are very friendly! Everything cooked to perfection! Today I went for the Mediterranean breakfast and my colleague went for vegetarian breakfast! Highly recommended if in the area, you won't regret it we'll worth every penny! Can get busy, but they always happy to accommodate!

Probably the best English breakfast I’ve had in my life.

Delicious breakfast and nice atmosphere. Many thanks

I absolutely adore Café Paolo! Paolo and the team are not just amazing at what they do—they’re truly beautiful human beings. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine care make every visit feel special. And don’t even get me started on the chicken and waffles—they’re out of this world! Crispy, fluffy, sweet, and savory perfection. This place is a little slice of heaven, and I couldn’t recommend it more!

Paolo Café was exactly what I was looking for when I came to London. Without a doubt, it’s the best place in terms of value for money. The portions are generous, the food is delicious, and everything is made with care. Special mention to their Chai Latte – it’s amazing! I absolutely loved the experience and will definitely be back. Thanks again 🥞☕️

Came here a few weeks ago with my partner and it’s fair to say I’m obsessed! For someone who has a gluten intolerance it can be really hard to find suitable options for breakfast style dining. Paul the owner greeted us on the door and was SUPER accommodating of my dietary requirements. He knew exactly what I could and couldn’t eat and went out of his way to add extras on to make up for swapping out. The atmosphere was amazing, food was incredible and service 10/10. Could not recommend more!! See you soon :)

Ordered the full English and it was absolutely amazing! The staff were very friendly and I was lucky enough to speak to the owner and it turns out we both live very close to eachother. Thank you will definitely be back 👌👏

It was one of the best English breakfasts I have had. It's definitely the best around the area. Huge and tasty. Nice 1

The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly and the lady named Daria is angel

Fantasic food fantastic menu fantastic service I will definitely be returning I would highly recommend this cafe 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Cosy little caffe, food made with heart and touch to detail.

I ate here a few weeks back, hands down the best cooked breakfast I have ever had… All cooked fresh and piping hot! And my god what an epic breakfast, served in a gigantic cast iron skillet… The chef/owner even came out and took the orders (10 of us ordering) A lovely friendly chap, made you feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble… An absolute must for breakfast, I had the full English and the rest of the table had a mixture of other dishes off of the menu, all appeared equally as impressive and all of my colleagues left satisfyingly full! Thank you Paulo and team, I will be back 😎

Great food, even better atmosphere!!

Fantastic cafe with great food - went on a recommendation and now im recommending it to you!

I am a regular customer and always come in for breakfast/lunch when I am in Acton. The food is amazing! The quality is incredible! Home made from scratch and it is always well presented! I always get a warm welcoming when attending and the owner is pleasant and does remember his customers! The cafe itself is very coasy and warm for nice breakfast's/lunches. The staff are always very hardworking & attentive. Highly recommended for families/date brunches/friend catch up/coffee stop
