What to expect

Abuelo is a small, stylish café in Covent Garden with a pared-back, minimalist look and a warm, relaxed feel. It's best known for its banana bread, which is a regular favourite in reviews. The menu runs well beyond the banana bread, with all-day brunch plates, pastries and seasonal specials such as fig and mascarpone, plus carefully made coffee. There are gluten-free options too, and it's an easy spot to settle in for breakfast, a light lunch or an afternoon coffee away from the Covent Garden crowds.

Also in Marylebone

Abuelo also has a café in Marylebone, so if you're on that side of town you can find the same style of brunch and coffee there.
