Great vegetarian food. A real treat.
Cafe Laville - London
453 Edgware Road, London W2 1TH

As others have said, great views from this cafe – quite in contrast to the Edgeware Road it is located on.
Can get a bit noisy at weekend with families with young (screaming) children, but the breakfasts are great.
Cafe (at least when I’ve been there) only takes payment in cash – no cards accepted.
Cafe Zilly - Fitzrovia

Great baked potatoes, and for take aways put in handy plastic boxes that you can reuse
Ships Galley - Fitzrovia

Fab little sandwich place - lovely staff, great food, low prices. Only downside is the queues at peak times can leaving you standing outside for a little while.
Costa - Westminster
Cardinal Place, Victoria, London SW1E 5JE

Although they cram lots of seats in to the space, it's done well so you end up feeling there's plenty of leg room and elbow space unlike some rivals where you're all squeezed next to each other.
Comfy sofas and seats in the far corner, though not many, so don't expect to find them free except at very quiet times.
Good, quick service - helped by having more than one till and plenty of space for people to move around by the tills.
Fino Restaurant & Bar - Fitzrovia

Fantastic mashed potato - very creamy, but not too rich.
Lovely venue, though service a little slow at times.
Milou's - Crouch End

Sad to say, no longer open in the mornings. Breakfasts are a real loss!
Dudley's Pancake House - Finsbury Park

Nice range of savoury and sweet options in a place with decent elbow room and comfortable chairs. Prices are, for London, reasonable.
Service was a little hit and miss - over-keen to take orders and clear away food, but then slow with bill and paying.
Lockside - Bristol
Brunel Lock Road, Bristol BS1 6XS

The cafe used in the hit TV comedy Only Fools and Horses (season 2 onwards) has since been refurbished, going upmarket.
It is open for breakfasts and lunch through the week (to 4pm) and in the evenings at weekends (Friday and Saturday).
There are numerous breakfast options and the prices reasonable, though a little on the high side as you’d expect for a posh cafe.
The decking with seating at the back is great on a sunny morning. Despite being right next to a car park and a fly-over, sitting outside is actually a pleasant experience.
5th View Bar and Food - St. James's
203-205 Piccadilly, Waterstones, London W1J 9LE

More expensive than the Costa Coffee in the basement - but comes with lots of daylight and views out over London. The views are mostly of the ugly side of buildings, so they aren’t that great, though it is fun to see where some of the famous landmarks are in relation to each other from a different angle.
Lots of sofas too, which is a nice change from the places that have one sofa for show, but no more - meaning you can almost never can find a space. Here they are enough sofas to go round.
Service was rather patchy when I went, not too pushy but slow even when I wanted to leave and pay the bill.
Mark Pack Update: they've now refurbished the place and expanded it. Same good points as before, more space, same slightly patchy service and now with staff in tops that match the colour of the walls. I'll let you decide whether to admire or despair at that last point!
