Popina
The story of Popina can be traced back to the excitement that founder, Isidora Popovic experienced as a child when she visited farmers markets with her mother. The love and regard her family had for fresh, seasonal and local produce has stayed with her and is the inspiration behind this gorgeous bakery. Menu highlights include eggs from Tilly’s Traditionals, anyway you like them. If you’re looking to go off piste, try the green shakshuka – fried eggs in creamy spinach and Raclette cheese melt with sourdough. Sweet-toothed diners can opt for a Nutella marshmallow melt on brioche. 83 Duke Street, Mayfair, London, W1K 5PF.
Plants by De
Breakfast at Plants by De is certainly the best of both worlds. Not only are the dishes delicious but they are also really good for you. Escape from your busy schedule and head down to Weighhouse Street for a selection of plant-based dishes including corn fritters, smoky beans and avocado smash. For anyone with a sweet tooth, there is no need to worry, the delicious brownies will keep you going. Don’t forget to try a matcha or turmeric latte and their cold pressed juices are some of the most celebrated in London. Health is really your wealth – so come and find out for yourself. 18 Weighhouse Street, Mayfair, London W1K 5LU

Everbean
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of New Bond Street, Everbean on Avery Row is the place to visit when you want to get away from it all. For breakfast, there are a wealth of options to choose from including bircher muesli, homemade granola and a delightful selection of breads, cakes and pastries, all sourced from artisan London bakeries. 30 Avery Row London, London W1K, 4BB
Hideaway
Hideaway is the creation of Ollie Dabbous, Michelin-starred chef and owner of Dabbous. It’s a modern day treasure with a selection of wonderful breakfast dishes that are hard to beat. For traditionalists with a twist, their croque monsieur options with black truffle or H. Forman smoked salmon & cream cheese bagel with homemade dill pickle is sensational. Their rolls and baguettes are well worth considering. If you want to keep it gorgeously simple, try the sausage roll & piccalilli. Early celebration or pick me up? Go for the Hideaway lobster roll. Hideaway, 100 Mount Street, London W1K 2TG
Le Pain Quotidien
Quotidien literally means ‘daily bread’ but at this Belgian bakery, that’s just the beginning. For Le Pain Quotidien, it’s much more than filling up on breakfast fuel, it’s a way of life and this is definitely the place to gather with friends over a communal table and share the most important meal of the day. They may be bakers at heart – and you can choose from an abundance of handmade organic bread – but you’ll also find a selection of simple, wholesome and seasonal dishes, many of them plant-based. Their breakfasts are nourishing and delicious – and all ingredients are sourced locally and are organic wherever possible. Come and get set up for the day. 16 North Audley Street, Mayfair, London W1K 6WL.
