Cafe Paolo in Barnet

Popped in yesterday and had the full English breakfast. It was simply just brilliant. All the ingredients were of very high standard. Everything was piping hot as it came out on a frying Make sure you go in hungry as there is so much food in the full English. It is very good value for money. Would highly recommend trying cafe paulo if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. I would rate it deffo 10/10 and will be going back again and again

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing owner

Are you kidding ? Look at this full breaky ! For 16 £ ? Take my money

Small yet a very popular cafe, they are open on Sundays until 2:30pm. I went around 12pm and had to wait a few minutes for a table, I would advise you call before you go. Breakfast is not cheap but plentifully and cooked very well, customer service is excellent, I would definitely go back.

When I heard Hawksmoor was bringing back the full English breakfast, I reserved a table. Given my short stay in London and wanting to make the most of my stay, I decided to cancel my reservation and give Cafe Paolo a try even though it was an hour away versus a ten-minute walk to Hawksmoor. I was not disappointed. As soon as I enter the cafe just before six in the morning, I was greeted and entertained by a friendly and energetic Paul who immediately brought my tea. Paul also brought me complimentary toast, butter, and marmalade as I waited. Soon my full English breakfast arrived with an offer of more toast. It was a cornucopia of piping hot food served on an iron skillet, a nice touch. One noticeable item, missing with most full English breakfast offered nowadays is the once common staple of "bubbles and squeaks". It's great to see this still being offered as well as maple strip bacon and English bacon. Most importantly everything was delicious. You know this place "rocks" when you see a steady line of lorry drivers and "blue collar" workers get their morning breakfast here. Kudos to you, Paul, for setting the standard on my first full English breakfast!

The best Full English Breakfast I have had in London. Good sausages , eggs , tomatoes , bacon , both black pudding and white pudding ( boudin blanc ) , mushrooms and bubble and squeak. Healthier options available , poached eggs and smashed avodacos , and many more. Top service , good vibe and outside tables. Coming here since they opened. Customer toilet. And have toast with butter and marmalade ( or jam ) with your breakfast. Cafe Paolo is opposite Tescos in The Vale Acton . And is on the corner adjacent to the petrol station station .

The team is great, feels like home, food is like a hug to my stomach 👍👍

Being a Londoner and a painter/decorator you might say I like a cafe, I’ve dined in a few! Paolo’s is by far and away my favourite for all the right reasons, the passion for the food, the service and the atmosphere are second to none, you can feel the warmth the minute you walk in. I love Paolo’s, it’s like eating at home with my family xx

Really nice place. We found Cafe Paolo on YouTube. After reading the reviewers, we chose to go here. Great atmosphere and food. It was very much as expected. We got The American and breakfast waffle. 5 stars from the tourists from Denmark!

"The food here is absolutely incredible—easily a 10/10 in both taste and presentation! Everything is beautifully prepared and delicious. While the space is a bit small, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommend this place for an amazing dining experience!"

This place serves perhaps one of the best breakfasts around: delicious, big portions with both black and white pudding and bacon thick and big enough to be pork chops. Plus the chef owner is a friendly welcoming man who cares for his customers and is a delight to talk to. Really worth a trip out to visit!

My wife had a business appointment nearby this morning, so we drove to London early to avoid the traffic and parked in a side road close to this cafe and decided to pop in for a coffee: absolutely lovely welcome, quirky and interesting interior and exterior, and full of regulars who clearly enjoy the food and ambiance. Next time we're in Acton we will definitely stay longer and try their food all of which looked excellent on the numerous dishes being served.

Simply the best cafe breakfast I’ve ever had. Paul and Daria are such pleasant hosts. Happy bday Paul 😊

Absolutely love this place! First time here, after hearing loads about it and it did not disappoint! I had the waffles, berries and maple syrup and my partner had the legendary full English! Totally amazing! A great atmosphere and even met the famous Paolo! What a great guy! Highly recommended 🤩

Absolutely banging 💥💥💥 Full English Breakfast and a great pot of tea, smashed it! Thoroughly recommend and I will be back! Paul is a lovely bloke too. 👍

Unbelievable, food, service and atmosphere. I've waited months to visit Café Paolo and it was better than expectation, warm and casual service (homely). English Breakfast has everything and pipeing hot, served in a sizzling hot pan, toast as you want. Lovely coffee 🤤

The best breackfast I take in town with lovely staff

Paul and his staff were super friendly and welcoming I felt so at home. It’s a very cosy cafe great food mixed with great atmosphere and some great tunes played on the radio:) Definitely coming back monthly and I definitely recommend !!!!

People very welcoming and delicious food at affordable price. 100% recommend

Amazing people and food for good price. I recommend!

Great food great service Paul is very welcoming

Popped in today for a bite to eat and omg what a treat. Great food,great service this is a definite double thumbs up experience.

Best cafe in London by far! Great people with great food. Fantastic atmosphere! Everyone welcome

In town from US on holiday 24/9. Ordered the Paolo, food was good portionsl size, delish and seasoned so flavors complement each other well. Staff interacted with customer s and made it feel like everyone that walks in is your neighbor. Reminds me of a US Midwest vibe with real, not scared or fake people. Well done

This is my second day staying in East Acton and the second day of having brunch at Café Paolo. Oh my gosh it is a dream of a cafe. The menu is vast and everything is cooked with fresh ingredients, quickly and is made with love. You have to try the scrambled eggs, they are made with three eggs, real butter and cream. Heavenly. The options are limitless with insanely good avocados, sourdough, french brioche toast served with delicious maple syrup and streaky bacon it’s almost impossible to stop. Paolo is gorgeous and genuine and an amazing owner and Chef. I love it here and so will you.

Came here a week ago and had the best breakfast meal yet. Mr Paolo greeted us and he had such good energy. The menu was pretty extensive but I settled on the Halloumi Twist, which was amazingggg. There was a very generous portion of halloumi and the sautéed spinach and mushrooms were delicious. The meal was simple but really well seasoned. This place is a must visit and great value for money! Will definitely come back.

I can't recommend Paolo's Cafe enough! We were on the hunt for a proper English breakfast for my partner, and “The Paolo” did not disappoint him! 🤤 My plate was also equally satisfying. The menu is endless, with so many delicious options to choose from. Whether you're craving a classic or something more adventurous, there's something for everyone (and if it’s not on the menu, owner Paul, aka Paolo, will happily make it for you!) The food was fantastic, and the service was warm and friendly, making us feel right at home. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Paolo's is a must-visit spot! Thank you Paolo!

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!!

By far the best breakfast in London. Well worth a visit. The food is amazing all fresh and very delicious. I will be back 😋

Everything was perfect! Would definitely recommend having breakfast/lunch here. Excellent customer service

I ordered The American, and as an American I can say it was one of the best meals I’ve had. Wow! Excellent spot. Mr Paolo came out and greeted us as well. The restaurant has been in their family for 30 years!!

The best food with the best service! Lovely lovely people and yummy scrummy food :)

Gorgeous vibes and gorgeous food!!!!

Great food , service and ambience. Great value for money. Always love the miusic. Thanks Paolo and team

This place is the best cafe in west London hands down food is 100% staff and service is top it’s a definite place to go the big breakfast is a must after a Saturday night

Another exquisite breakfast bought to you in an unsual and exciting way The sizzling skillet is packed with an abundance of breakfast goodies and now with an extra addition of a pork chop I've had many happy breakfasts here and hope to have many more Yumyumyum

Wonderful food, lovely people, and the signs outside are so fun! Perfect last meal to end a great trip in London. We love Paolo’s!

Absolutely amazing food very well recommended!!!!

Great local cafe - brilliant service, first class food and great atmosphere! Thanks Paolo & Daria

Great start to the day! Amazing food Paul is a great chef and the staff are very happy to help very pleasant! I hope to return very soon thanks

Absolutely love this cafe! Great atmosphere and lovely staff, not to mention the food was DELICIOUS. Definitely will be returning! Thank you!

This cafe is impeccable one of my top 3 places to eat in London, came in with my colleagues and got the best service. The food is to die for, got the breakfast burrito. You never will be disappointed going in.

I’ve been coming to Café Paolo for breakfast for years, and it’s the only place I’ll go no matter where I move around London. Paul and the entire team are fantastic—they consistently deliver a 5-star breakfast experience. The ingredients are top-quality, and you can tell the food is cooked with love every time. The dedication and care they put into their dishes keep me coming back. Highly recommend!

Paolo Cafe offers exceptional coffee, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and top-notch service. Highly recommended spot!

The best BLT sandwich in town!!

What a gem of a place. Food fantastic, service brilliant, ambience wonderful. What’s not to like !

Great food, very friendly staff make you feel very welcome. Good prices for food and fantastic atmosphere!

I visited on a Tuesday morning and Mr Paolo himself welcomed me whilst hosting a big group of policemen who had also stopped by for breakfast. He was very warm, joyous and filled with exuberance. I really appreciate the man's character. It gives a positive vibe. Speaking of the food, I ordered the full English breakfast with some extra meat and it was scrumptious as hell. While the stand-out feature of this breakfast is its portion size. It is massive and is served off a hot frying pan in which your breakfast is cooked. I give it full marks for presentation and value for money. This small west London café is a gem and is a no brainer for me to visit if I'm close by and looking for a heavy, tasty and a satisfying meal. Cheers to Mr. Paolo and his dedication towards his passion at this age. Really appreciate it :)

When it comes to food, you can’t get no better and then when you’re talking about service - you’ve not got to look no further ! They go above and beyond and even slapped in two free pancakes - this is a favourite for me and my other half. Nothing but 10/10 🫡

Certainly one of the best, if not, the best English breakfast I have had. It’s so good that my family came here for breakfast for 2 consecutive days. Awesome! Thanks Paul for the great service and hospitality.

Paul and Nicola were excellent. We were a group of eight and our table, food and service were superb. Living overseas we hadn’t been in for a while. The menu is extensive enough to cover all and the food has an extremely personal touch. If Paul starts supporting a decent football team he’ll be able to engage in a football conversation and we’ll be back!

I have a yearly catch up with an old friends where we start the day with a classic English breakfast, this being the 6th year. Cafe Paulo has been on our must visit list since seeing a review on YouTube channel, Gary Eats. Up front, we agree it’s the best of the 6, and we’ve had some great breakfasts so that is lofty praise indeed. What makes it so good? Our order was taken by owner, Paul, who is passionate about the the food quality and freshness. There’s plenty of choice on the menu, but our go to was the Paulo signature Breakfast. This duly arrived and is served on a hot skillet, a great idea as the quantity of the food meant we were going to take some time finishing it and it’s great that it stayed hot throughout. Focusing on the food. The Paulo breakfast included the following top quality ingredients…. Cumberland sausages, two eggs, bacon, black pudding, white pudding, bacon joint, bacon rashers, bubble & squeak, beans, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes all cooked to perfection with mouth watering presentation. On the side we had brown and white toast and teas and coffee. This was a late breakfast for us and easily served as a comprehensive brunch. Beware, you may not be hungry for the rest of the day! In summary, the ultimate breakfast experience with superb food, quality ingredients and wonderful staff brought together by the charismatic owner Paul. Thank you all at Paulos for making us feel so welcome, we hope to be back soon!

Literally, the best cafe you’re going to find in West London! Paul and his staff are brilliant, their attentive.. nothings too much trouble for them and their quality of foods are to die for!! Nice touch that the meals come in frying pans keeping the food nice and hot! I took my mum here this morning for breakfast and she hasn’t stopped going on about how nice it was! Thanks a lot Paul and Team!

amazing food and excellent service 💗

Feel very good at Cafe Paolo! Friendly staff and respectful! I highly recommend!

Had beautiful breakfast this morning.Owner very friendly,will be back when we are over in London. Well worth the visit.

Paul is such a hoot! Excellent customer service and great food here. Passed through after going to a wedding with my friend and we found this spot on TikTok. Definitely recommend and nice to have met you Paul! Hopefully be back soon!

From arriving to Cafe Paolo, paul welcomed us in like family, he made sure we had all we needed, and if it wasn’t on the menu he would still make us whatever we needed. Food was amazing and portion sizes was perfect Would def be going back

I came here on a recommendation from Gary Eats You Tube channel. I sclepped it the way from Marylebone (via the tube). It was well worth the effort Warning: the full English is HUGE. Make sure that you starve yourself for a good 6 hours or more before indulging. The staff here are very friendly, so come here for good food and a chat.

Amazing breakfast and absolutely lovely service 😌💕the owner is so wholesome, felt very welcomed and looked after!

Staff were super lovely and friendly, food was incredible. We got there early Saturday morning at around 9am, got a seat outside. Service was quick, didn’t have to wait long at all for our food. Definitely would go back.

Best English breakfast I’ve had in London. Great service, really friendly.

Such a fantastic restaurant. Excellent customer service from staff and manger. Very luxurious breakfast. Definitely be coming here regularly.

Was in the area with work six months ago from up north.Tried Paolo's on recommendation from a friend and wasn't disappointed.Superb breakfast, excellent staff and service.Down London again today and had to go again.Best cafe around by a country mile.

Great breakfast...food was excellent, very friendly owner...bought us a drink...highly recommended!!!!

Great breakfast and as has been said before paolo is a right character even bought us a beer,would highly recommend this cafe food is top quality.

Visiting from the states , asked our AirBnB for recommendations, I’m a big fan for local family businesses, Mr. Paul’s love for cooking definitely shows on each plate. If you don’t see anything you like, Ask Mr.Paul and he will literally make what you want. Best place for breakfast and a snack for lunch too.

Had breakfast here this morning I never write reviews but had to write a review ! it's the best breakfast in the London I come from here from north London to eat here!! Delicious, lovely friendly staff, amazing quality of food, such a good price, & Paul the owner is fantastic, no better place 🙌

Once again an OUTSTANDING breakfast at Cafe Paolo! It’s Not only about the food, the team are friendly, the cafe is spotless and the service is 5star.

Great people and an even better breakfast!

Wide selection breakfast menu, so much to choose from! Food delicious and a warm welcome from Paolo and the lovely waitress! Would definitely recommend!

What a fantastic place highly recommended 👌

I didn't eat or drink, although I have no doubt that everything was delicious. I was there after closing the door, it was open, I thought it was open. One lady answered me as if I was an intruder, she was very rude. I probably won't visit again and I won't try anything

Great breakfast place that is a local gem. Delicious traditional breakfast offerings, friendly and welcoming owner Paolo and staff.

Very nice and a very tasty English Breakfast. So a good day can start.

Fantastic Egg’s Benedict ! Quality Ingredients and Cooked just the way I like it . 5 Stars .

Rank, and overpriced too. Bacon was probably hung over a radiator for 10 seconds, and the hash brown I may as well of asked for a cup of there obviously never changed oil pan.

The best food in Acton. Huge portions, great taste, fresh ingredients, and super service. I've been coming to this place for many years, and it's getting better every time. Coffee, breakfasts, lunches is all very tasty, without too long wait. Fantastic place, and what's important open from 5.00 am highly recommended.

Great food, been coming here for many years, and it's getting better every day. I can highly recommend this place for a very good coffee, and absolutely 💯 fantastic food. Massive portions, great taste, and open from as early as 5.00 am.

Good evening Ladies/Paul The welcome my son and I received on Saturday was amazing. Guys you turned our treat into a wonderful experience, the full English breakfast was absolutely delicious, out of this world. Thank you so much, we'll be back as soon as possible. Top wonderful staff and absolutely stunning food. Thank you.

The most perfect and delicious breakfast I have ever had! If you want to enjoy the traditional English breakfast, this place is a MUST! ABSOLUTELY Delicious!! Couldn't have been better!

Cafe Paolo in Action is my favourite place to have a full English Breakfast in the whole of London. The quality of the ingredients is fantastic..from the Cumberland Sausages to the bacon and white and black pudding everything is great..and the fact they serve it up in a frying pan is just so cool...oh and the coffee is really good as well. In short Cafe Paolo is a one of a kind Cafe and a real gem deep in the heart of West London.

My husband and I decided that every Monday we will have to visit and eat brunch here!! Paolo was kind, attentive and lit up the café with his smile!! Also, the food and smoothies are amazing!! If you don’t like kale juice, please try it in Cafe Paolo. You will be obsessed!! We very much look forward to visiting you again soon

A great place to have a nutritious meal before or after gym everything it's fresh and you can see it and taste the difference.. I always have the scramble egg salmon and bagel and never disappoints.. Great costumer service and good atmosphere it's so rare to find a gem 💎 like cafe Paolo where you get proper fresh nutritious food at a fair price it's my place to go everytime. If you like to eat great fresh and nutricious food go to Paolo. Also the board outside its hummours.I would give them 20 stars if was possible.

Grabbed a BLT roll and Chicken escalope ciabatta to go. Fast service and very moorish sandwiches both!. Not cheap but nothing is nowadays , will go back, one customer in so perhaps why so fast- worked to our benefit Went again recently, ate in , getting expensive now!

So glad we found this hidden gem—5 of us each had different breakfasts and they were all LEGIT! So many choices, too! The staff were really friendly, too.

I decided to make the trip to this lovely café upon the recommendation of a friend. Watching a YouTube recommendation by Gary Eats further affirmed my decision to head down to Café Paolo. The first thing that struck me was the warmth and sincere friendliness of the owner Paolo. In my time in London I have never ever experienced such a genuine welcome at any restaurant, no matter upscale or homely. That set the tone for the entire meal. I ordered the Full English with all the works, and boy was it full. The quality of the food was outstanding. The only fault I could find was that the food was perhaps too perfect. Paolo even took the effort to make sure that the fried eggs, which I requested to be fried with crispy edges, were made just to my liking, which is such a delight. The light conversation and open banter which Paolo regaled the customers in is really refreshing and welcoming, because I think that sets Café Paolo apart. Being a place that is not just where you come for the food, but also for the ambience, the service, and the person himself. I will most certainly visit again. Thank you so much to Paolo and his team for serving the best Full English in London!

Nice food but omg so expensive for a cafe you do need deep pockets be warned

Best breakfast you’ll get with all the trimmings! Quality and quantity, I couldn’t believe the value. We had heard rave reviews and they weren’t wrong. The owner doing all the cooking and is so passionate about product, it just shows in the end results, they were absolutely lovely. It’s a 15 minute walk from Shepherd’s Bush Market tube station and it’s worth it, come out of the city centre to try it and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the best breakfast we’ve ever had!

Best breakfast we’ve ever had with no near seconds! We originally heard about the Cafe through YouTube food reviews saying it was the best and they weren’t wrong. We made the trip from Newcastle to try there famous full English. My partner is a big eater and also a moan, he’s very hard to impress and he’s already booking the next trip to London for his Cafe Paolo breakfast. Piping hot, quality and quantity, just a must try. Staff so accommodating couldn’t do enough Thank you

Great little place. Lovely English breakfast.

I have eaten here several times, the owner goes out of his way to accommodate your tastes. I always order with a few changes to the menu and haven’t been disappointed yet.

It was a great experience from a stressful studying night. The ambience and the people were so nice. Highly recommended!

You have to try this place. I had stayed overnight at a nearby small hotel but the breakfast there looked rubbish, so when I found Paolo’s place 100 yards away I thought I’d check it out. So glad I did. Nothing too much trouble, any combination I wanted, and everything cooked fresh and to perfection. He’s clearly a man who knows his food, his customers, and how to run a great business. Thank you so much for a fab breakfast. Can honestly say it’s the best I’ve had in many a long year, and I’ll be back. Chris Moore

10/10 everything. From the service down to the food. Love it and will be back!!!!

The best breakfast I have eaten in a London cafe by a country mile, this was delicious. The owner Paul was very welcoming as was the staff and this really was a fabulous English breakfast which was cooked to perfection with top top quality ingredients, I’ll be returning when ever Im in the area as it really was a quality fry up and the best I have eaten. Could not recommend this place highly enough. Thank you. Dan (electrician)

This place is out of this world. The food is always 10/10, the staff are amazing and friendly. Everyone I see in here loves this place, atmosphere is good, sometimes a bit busy! But 5* for sure!

Perfect brunch location, lovely food and lovely people!

One of the best breakfasts in London and definitely the best in west london....if you can get a seat.Everything is always delicious. Even if its full. Grab one of the sausage egg muffins to go!

Nothing beats this full English, full stop. Best breakfast in the UK - no doubt. Every time I come here it’s just phenomenal.
