Macondo

One of the best places I've been to in London. I'm Mexican, and the food and ambiance just felt like home. Thanks guys!!

The best place in Hoxton where relax and treat your self while or after working.

Great coffee, food and cocktails but also a monthly art exhibition by emerging top level artists. Impressing.

Just been to this place with a group of clients for a social evening of cocktails, Latin American food and cake and I was very impressed. Superbly relaxed cafe/bar which does breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon cakes, coffees and cocktails. Ever changin art of the walls. The Mexican & Spanish owners have hit just the right note with music, food, decor etc. Not pretentious (unlike many of its neighbours) it's an ideal place to pop into and become a regular. Easily the right place to meet friends for a coffee, take your mother for cake, meet a lover for cocktails or even to treat work clients. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely amazed with the food and drinks!

A unique cafe/bar - it has a true continental ambiance and flavour... a genuine escape from the ordinary.

Less ostentatiously self conscious than its neighbours, Macondo seems to me to be an honest reflection of what certain cafe goers really want: a good drink or hot chocolate made as you might make it yourself, and either aslice of cake or a plate of tasty things you can pick at, while sinking into comfortable chairs. Service is friendly and unobtrusive and I could hang out here for ages.....

Great little place for a lunch time. Wicked home made cakes, super duper spanish hot chocolate and really good wholesome dishes to warm you on a winters day. Above all a really nice place to sit and chill on a lazy afernoon and people watch.

Whenever I'm in the Hoxton area I don't have to think twice where I'll go: Macondo. It's so difficult to find a cafe/bar in London that has that cosy & intimate atmosphere. Great for an easy-going Sunday brunch (the smoothies, guacamole, Cheesecake and the Brownies are a must!) reading the paper and just hanging out or for some cocktails & nibbles in the evening. I do highly recommend the food (both savory and sweet), which has that homemade touch, which again is so rare in London.

See you there...

A cosy, friendly venue which does generous portions of well cooked, simple, tasty food. The cocktails are reasonable but the best part is the atmosphere, which is very relaxed despite the self consciously "trendy" area. The Mexican art and decor is fun. Recommended for afternoon coffee and Sunday brunch.

I visited macondo on sunday after it was reccommended by a friend. We sat amongst the fashinable eastenders but had fantastic, cosy and attentive service. The spanish hot chocolate is already calling me back, and the tortilla was great too. I will be back
