Cafes

Right from the start we’ve been all about simple, fresh and natural food, delivered with our unique twists. We hit the spot as our uncomplicated, flavoursome creations immediately proved popular – our iconic New Yorker sandwich and orange & almond cake are still best sellers today.

Benugo was born on the high street and while our family has grown substantially, the independent spirit of our first café in Clerkenwell is still in our DNA today, 24 years on.

Find our Benugo cafes in London and across the UK in a selection of John Lewis stores. See where your nearest one is using Find a Benugo in the navigation bar at the top of the page.
