Promised to take a friend out for breakfast on Sunday morning at 8:30 in Central London and it has to be over by 10AM as she has to catch a plane home to California. Should be something really nice as she needs to get lifted after just dumping her boyfriend. I am wrecking my brain where to go... this place sleeps until lunch time.1. No Sturbucks-like muffin shit2. Has to be child friendly, i.e. not smokey, as my 2 1/2 year old daughter will be with me.3. She's vegetarian Hindu (friend, not daughter...)Just over seven hours to go.... any recommendations?Soulstrut never sleeps!!!

I think what you really need is a Giraffe cafe - there's one in Blandford Street, W1. Perfect for veggies, kids and early birds.
Across the road, Le Pain Quotidien was already heaving but I remember having been there only once and deciding to never go back (service + price problem).
We ended up in an unlikely place: The Orrery Epicerie which, I believe, had accidentially left the door unlocked while setting up shop. Excellent food (both meat and veg) and the whole place to ourselve for almost an hour as no-one expected it to be open so early.
Demuths
So good!!
damn, that menu looks damn good!
The last time I went I had this Vegan Bangers and Mash(Sausage and Mashed potatos for those) and this desert that was like molten cake, but no eggs.Damn, I want it!!
Really one of the best places I have ever ate and the people were mad cool there too!
Wish I was back in the UK..damn!
opens at 7am.
real nice.
This place is basically opposite my work - haven't actually been there yet though. Never worked anywhere with more cafes/restaurants per square mile than Smithfields (though walking down streets covered in offal in the morning helps reduce the temptation to check them out).
It's the one next to Fabric, right?
I've been there years ago and liked it, but I am not sure whether I would take any vegiterian to any place around Smithfield
