Palette
Korean aesthetics are taking over town, and Palette’s got the vibe on lock. Their signature street toast (gigeori-toast) starts with buttery brioche, fluffy omelette and hash brown. Where you take it next is up to you – but candied bacon is a must. Pair with the official drink of Seoul (iced americano) or a pleasingly pastel soda. Click and collect your lockdown pick-me-up via their website.

Schmucks Bagels
Schmucks Bagels do it differently. The dough is 100% vegan, and steamed (not boiled) to perfection. The bacon, egg and tonkatsu bagel is a good place to start. Sweet cravings? An apple strudel cream cheese bagel is in order. Or try the virtuous Hippie Slicker, with grilled cauliflower, hummus and lemon-dressed watercress. Order on Deliveroo.
