There are easier ways to tell someone you have aspirations to own a smallholding than eating at Honey & Co. Daily. But it is the most enjoyable. The Fitzrovia bakery, deli, and cafe was built for wholesome encounters—there’s a section of the menu dedicated to eggs, cookbooks are scattered about, and the plants look so healthy we’ve been tempted to lean over and ask about their watering schedule. The Middle Eastern food—tasty, feel-good-about-yourself plates scattered with seeds and dolloped with tangy yoghurt—works best for a classy, uplifting brunch. One that will appeal to your Blue Zone-obsessed friend, or an artsy uncle (who's read All Fours) who needs a place to catch up with his favourite godchild. Tables of four sport breton stripes and spoon urfa chilli butter onto delicious chickpea stew, and if there weren’t so many sincere, earnest chats going on all around, it’d be the kind of place you could whip out a broadsheet.
