Abuelo Covent Garden in London, specialty coffee cafe

more photos

Abuelo Covent Garden is a specialty coffee café at 26 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7RS, UK. Established in 2018, it features a Slayer Steam X espresso machine and Mahlkönig EK43 and Anfim Practica grinders. The café serves Australian and Argentine-influenced organic farm-to-table brunch in a Grade II listed building with tall windows.

the tall windows at abuelo covent garden let natural light wash over your latte, pulled on a slayer steam x. 30 seconds from the piazza, your brunch here leans heavily on organic farm-to-table flavors. the carved wooden bar, a nod to its argentine roots, frames your view as you settle at the long shared table. your coffee grinds on a mahlkönig ek43, roasted in-house. you might linger longer than planned, but that's the point. no need to rush perfection.
