Benugo

Great for coffee

14 Apr 08, 15:06 Above expectations

If you want a proper cup of coffee in the Clerkenwell area, then forget Starbucks, Costa et al and head over to Benugo. You won't be disappointed. Grab a sandwich too, while you're there. Benugo also offers a business lunch service, delivering platters of excellent sandwiches, salads, cut fruit and cakes, that is head and shoulders over anything offered by Pret a Manger.

Good Quality, Reasonable prices.

I went here for lunch for the first time today and I was really pleasantly surprised. I was at first a little overwhelmed by the amount of choice that they offer, but I soon sorted through the vast selection to discover something that took my fancy.

They make bespoke sandwiches and lots of pastas, salads, pies, soups, bagels and lots more. It all looked so good. The food is really fresh and freshly prepared in front of you. This place really shows up larger chain establishment for their lack of choice.

The prices really surprised me too, they were really reasonable. I managed to walk out with a huge filling tasty lunch for about £3.45. Now that is value!

Great sandwich shop

One of my favourite sandwich shops, good selection of sandwiches and salads. They also do excellent coffee and I'm a big fan of their mocha.

Timing is everything and if you leave it past 12:20 to get your lunch, expect a lengthy queue.

And The Coffee Is Good Too!

As has already been said, the sandwiches are fresh and filled with nice things; you can chose one of the combos or do a bit of mix and match. Nice bread helps make it a complete package.

The coffee here is also very good; the standard of a regular coffee place (without Starbucks prices) shows that they take coffee seriously.

Hurrah!

Yes. Go here. Pret Schmet.

Benugos. Freshly made sandwiches. Made in front of you, hot or cold, with lots of salads too. You can eat in round the back of the counter or takeaway sandwiches in nice shiney silver wrapping. Interesting breads and rolls used in them too.

It is more expensive though than you're usual lunchtime sandwich. Around £3.50 - £4.00. The special changes each day but you'll notice that over the long term they don't really which means that it can become a bit repetitive after a while (Like most sandwich shops I suppose)

Favourite: Turkey, bacon, brie and cranberry. Toasted.

Yummy sandwich shop

Benugo is a sandwich shop popular at lunch time with people that work in the local businesses. The choice is great, and although the sandwiches are very rich and probably extremely bad for you, they taste great. It's also one of those only organic, nothing artifical places which is always good to know.

Good Sarnies

For those looking to rebuff the Pret monopoly Benugo is a good option. A fine selection of ready made sandwiches as well as a wide variety of ingredients for those who prefer a custom build. You won't get change from a fiver for a sandwich and a coffee, buy hey- this is central London. Give yourself a bit of extra time at lunch, the queue can get pretty long.
