I am keen to find a lovely cafe in London, preferably close to or a close tube ride from Victoria, or West End/Soho. Would be for brunch/coffee on Friday morning. I need GF and dairy free options, price not an issue but somewhere cosy and comfortable to be on my own (meeting a friend for theatre and dinner in afternoon), so not too fancy.
I feel like cafes have changed since Covid and feel more 'functional', as more geared towards takeaways. Prove me wrong! Hit me with your recommendations. TIA.
