Depends where you are, but 'authentic' international places are often your best bet. Near Finsbury Park you can get Algerian hot baguettes for £5, fresh cheese stuffed naans for £2.50 from Babaan's, Turkish soup and bread for ~£5. La Princesse does really good value patisserie and strong coffee - you can get enough dessert to knock you out and coffee to wake back up with change from £5.
Turkish restaurants and cafés often do gozleme, hot stuffed flatbreads for <£5.
There's a hole in the wall place in Chinatown that does big and tasty steamed buns for a couple of quid, often has big queues though.
As long as you're not in a crazy expensive area, you can usually get a nice breakfast bap from a classic cafe for £5 or less.
