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.

Vegan options are available, ensuring everyone can enjoy this feast.

Crypt Café at St Paul’s Cathedral

Located beneath the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral, the Crypt Café occupies a truly historic space within the largest crypt in Europe. Reopened to the public in March 2025, it has been thoughtfully reimagined to provide a calm and inviting retreat from the bustle of the City above. Guests can enjoy hot and cold drinks, freshly made sandwiches and vibrant salads prepared in our new kitchen, along with an irresistible selection of baked sweet and savoury treats. Set against the backdrop of centuries of history, the Crypt Café offers a unique opportunity to pause, unwind and experience the quieter side of St Paul’s.
