Cafe Paolo in Barnet

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

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

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.

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 nice food & the coffee is 10/10 ☕️✨

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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😁

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

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

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

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 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.

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

I am lucky that when I come to Acton to visit my son he takes me to Cafe Paulo for breakfast. I have never managed yet to finish my meal as you get amazing portions, the quality of the ingredients is fantastic and presentation is second to none. The premises are spotless and well maintained and the staff are friendly and hardworking and always check that everything is ok. Looking forward to my next visit.

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

This place,is without doubt the best breakfast i have ever had.... and I've been about a bit......I saw it on GARY EATS on the you tube, and live pretty close, so went over there this morning...I had the full English, my wife, the Mediteraran, and my son had the American Pancakes........ EVERTHING was spot on, and with a very friendly staff running the show(Paulo was vey busy , but he still had time for a chat...fair play)...... whats not to like?....... RECOMMEND

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

Absolutely outstanding and by far the best breakfast place in London. Quality ingredients and fabulous portions. The owner is fantastic as well. Thank you and see you soon!

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.

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

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!

Great food, friendly staff and owner, good value and generous portion size. 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.

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!

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

Delicious breakfast and nice atmosphere. Many thanks

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 :)

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 🥞☕️

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!!

Massively! Amazing presentation! Nositiglic vibes. Friendly service and treats you like you part of the family. Recommended for lunch breaks and just quality time with friends and family! Best place for breakfast and lunch!! Gourmet style!!

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

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

After seeing "Gary Eats" rave review of Cafe Paolo, decide to make to trek to Acton for myself. Their tagline should be "Cooked Breakfast Perfection" as it exceeded my high expectations. Do yourself a favour and give them a visit! Service was amazing, and Paul you are a gent!

We dined with Cafe Paolo today. Seating was cramped and congested. Never the less, we ordered and waited for the food to arrive. After 30 mins of watching all the other tables get their food, we politely asked the waitress if the food is taking long, which is a valid question from a paying customer. 10 minutes later the chef walks out with our food and says to us that “we make this food fresh and it takes time “young man”, there are millions of other places that will give you food quick but they don’t make it fresh”. As fair as this point may be, it was conveyed in a rude way and the chef is extremely arrogant. Now about the food, as late as it arrived- the hashbrowns were quite crispy and the pancakes were very soft. But, my scrambled eggs had eggshells in every bite, the bacon was not crispy (even when requested crispy), the fruit was certainly not fresh and had been sitting out too long and the everything needed to be seasoned. So as “freshly made” as the food was claimed to be, it lacked finesse and effort. The service lacked heart and warmth and the ambience was cramped. I have attatched photos of eggshells and my plate that I left almost entirely. I would probably not visit this place again.

Outstanding service, quality ingredients and a friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth the journey from Fulham.

Amazing Breakfast and Warm Hospitality! Café Paolo is hands down one of the best places to enjoy a Full English Breakfast in London. The food is absolutely delicious, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and cooked to perfection. From the crispy bacon to the eggs and savory sausages, every bite feels like comfort food at its finest. The portions are generous, and the prices are incredibly fair—you get so much more than what you pay for. What truly makes this place special, though, is the warm and welcoming service. Paolo and his team go above and beyond to make you feel at home, treating every guest with kindness and genuine care. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this is the perfect spot to start your day in London. I highly recommend it!

Gary eats likes it so I like it

Saw a glowing review of this place on Gary Eats YouTube channel. And the place did not disappoint! Massive portions. Very chilled friendly staff. Best breakfast I have had in London probably

I’ve been cooking 25 years and let me tell U this is the best Full English breakfast in London!! Skip all the others and come see Paolo!! Great hospitality! Great conversation! He even sat down with us at our table to chat! Thanks again Paolo!!

The best English breakfast I have ever had, and also the best hash browns I have ever had.

Mother in laws favourite breakfast in london since 2000... happy to say she wasn't wrong!

The food is amazing and Paolo is nice and friendly. Everyone should come to here for a meal highly recommend “ The Full English”

Best breakfast I’ve ever had and what a delight Paul is, from the minute we walked in. So accommodating to me, my Mrs and 7 month old and the food was out of this world. Not just quantity, but you can tell the quality was phenomenal. Its just the little extra touches like offering to make something not on the menu, that goes a long way. Just incredible service and definitely will be back! and regularly.

You can taste the quality in every bite, the homemade sausage was particularly nice.

Too high end, all the cafes are trying to cater for the wealthy and the average Joe tradesman can't afford to eat in these places

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cafe Paolo in West London, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the cafe is warm and inviting, making it the perfect cozy spot to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a delicious meal. What truly sets Cafe Paolo apart is the incredible hospitality of Paul, the owner and chef. From the moment I walked in, Paul made me feel right at home with his friendly and welcoming demeanor. He went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of. Both Paul and the local customers were excited to share their love of the city and gave fantastic recommendations as well as colorful conversation. It's rare to find such genuine warmth and attentiveness in a bustling city like London. Cafe Paolo boasts an extensive menu of delicious options, though if you can't find exactly what you want Paul is happy to make anything you'd like. My boyfriend and I came back morning after morning during our four day stay in West London. We LOVED the avo-bagel with lox and the chicken and waffles, though every meal we saw looked incredible. It is also open early (which helped with the jetlag!). The quality of the food is outstanding, with fresh ingredients and expertly crafted dishes that are both flavorful and beautifully presented. In addition to the fantastic food and welcoming atmosphere, the service at Cafe Paolo is top-notch. The staff are attentive and efficient, and it's clear that Paul has cultivated a team that shares his passion for providing an exceptional dining experience. Overall, I can't recommend Cafe Paolo highly enough. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to stop by and experience the wonderful hospitality of Paul and his team. You won't be disappointed!

This is the best All English Brekkie I have ever had & I’ve had a few! The Food is so tasty, Paul is a very friendly Guy. I’ll be back here again & soon!

I saw cafe Paolo on a TikTok video and was immediately interested to visit as it’s rare to find a cafe serving bubble and white pudding on a breakfast, and they are two of my favourite things. I was expecting a nice breakfast; but I wasn’t expecting one of, if not the best full English I’ve ever had! Every ingredient was amazing quality; well cooked; and the portion size was excellent. On top of this the staff are warm, friendly and welcoming. The cafe itself is intimate and cosy and this only adds to its charm. Definitely worth a visit if you are in London!

This has to be the best place in London for breakfast. I would challenge any Mitchelin Star Chef to beat this because they won't! Great British family business. Excellent service, all food is cooked fresh and menu customisable. A shining example to hard work, goodwill and service. (Thanks Gary Eats).

Literally the best full english I've ever eaten. It's not even close.

Had an excellent full english breakfast this morning, would wholeheartedly recommend this... We travelled for an hour just to visit. Thanks to all the Café Paolo team. ... Bugs & Aska

Absolutely AMAZING, every time we come here it’s a win. The owner is so funny and passionate, and cooks soooooooo good. Would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much!

Was an excellent experience, is a wonderful place and the staff is so funny and kind. 100% a good time.

Just come back from Paolo's - fantastic, great food and service all round. Highly recommended!

Simply the best breakfast you can hope for. Service was friendly and warm. Recommend !

Amazing food, great portions, excellent service! 100% recommend!!!

Café Paolo is the perfect spot for a delicious and cozy breakfast. The dishes are fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The friendly staff and warm atmosphere make it a place you’ll want to return to time and time again. Highly recommended!

Paolo, your breakfasts are simply the best! 😍Delicious food, cozy vibe, and the personal touch of the owner cooking makes it extra special. Plus, a big shoutout to Daria – super friendly and helpful. She made our visit even better! 🥓 Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting London!🥞🍳🧇🥚

Such a delightful experience A superb breakfast with high quality ingredients Amazing service too , Paul will be sure to leave a smile on your face 100% recommend!

Came from oxford to london for this beautiful food and quaint atmosphere! Paulo is a delight!

Great place, huge portions and well flavoured food. Paulo is lovely and very welcoming, I will be back!

Went following a recommendation from Gary Eats. It delivered and really tasty. Paul also very welcoming. Highly recommend.

Very disappointed. Arrived on a Saturday morning. We've travelled 70 miles so there was no way we could reserve a table. Every inside table was reserved. It was some considerable time until those people turned up to take their tables like when we'dfinishedour breakfast. Meanwhile back at the ranch.....we're sat outside covered in blankets and a shawl.. Chairs outside are made from metal strips and after a while become very uncomfortable. We'd visited after watching Gary's Eats. I had the full English breakfast at £16.50. Coffees/ drinks are at an additional cost. I asked for the white and black puddings to be replaced by bacon/sausage. They were replaced by one single rasher of bacon. Was it value for money? No. Parking is non existent on the same side of the road unless you are a permit holder.

Amazing Breakfast! Will be returning. Very good value for money 😻

Great honest place with excellent unpretentious breakfast, relaxed atmosphere and very good service. The owner is a star. They knew perfectly what was Gluten Free and customised their dishes for me, and they even had gluten-free toasts. This is what great places do. They care for their customers. Super recommended!

my husband spoke to paulo on our way down from manchester to book a table for breckfast the following day.what a great guy,he reserved us a table for 10.30, on arrival we just said "Graham from manchester who doesn't like football has arrived, you would of thought he had known him 30 years. the food was out of this world, cooked with love and care.if you love your breakfast or any good food get yourself to cafe paolos the man is a legend in his own lifetime thanks bud, Graham from Manchester

We love Paolo cafe, we go there every Saturday and always bring friends and family with us. Diaria is always happy and full off joy. The food is absolutely delicious. Always nicely prepered and taste delicious. Paul the owner is always trying to have a 5 min chat with everyone in the cafe. We would always come back here and would recommend to anyone that havent been yet.

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Paolo is so lovely💗

It was so delicious and it was really enough to be full. It is worthy trying.

Nice 30years old cafe with lovely Paolo
