Benugo to reopen original 1988 venue this week


Benugo is all set to reopen its original store on St John Street in Clerkenwell on Wednesday 12 October. Benugo’s Clerkenwell café was first opened in 1998 by brothers Ben and Hugo Warner.

Ben commented, ‘We are delighted to be reopening the doors of our Clerkenwell café, where it all began over 20 years ago. The high energy and fast pace of London continues to inspire us and there is nowhere quite like Clerkenwell.

'We were the first to bring the café deli concept to London with our iconic New Yorker sandwiches, abundant exciting salads, homemade delicious cakes with our own unique Benugo espresso blend.

Ben ended, 'We look forward to welcoming our customers, old and new, back to this high street location on 12th October.'

Benugo's coffee blend is brewed with beans that are 100% Rainforest Alliance certified and 100% carbon neutral collaboration with ClimatePartner across all outlets.

The hot drinks menu allows customers to see the carbon footprint of the most impactful hot drinks so they can make an informed choice, with all cradle to grave emissions offset into certified projects as part of a wider carbon reduction program.

Working with the very best UK food and drink suppliers, the brand has created a sustainable, local supply chain, and design all its menus to match locally available and in-season foods.

Benugo operates three cafes, like Benugo Waterloo Station, three restaurants, such as Serpentine Bar & Kitchen, three vistor spaces, a number of workplaces and five arts venues, like BFI and the London Coliseum.
