St. JOHN Is Opening a New Cafe in Bloomsbury

"Two icons of food and literature are colliding this autumn as St. JOHN, Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver's pioneering group (consisting of nose-to-tail restaurants, bakeries and a winery), is opening a cafe at the London Review Bookshop, one of the best i ndependent bookshops in the city. The new St. JOHN cafe is taking over the space previously occupied by the London Review Cake Shop, which closed in 2024 after 17 years in operation."

"Opening from 8am, the cafe will serve coffee; a range of St. JOHN baked goods, including Eccles cakes, doughnuts and baked-to-order madeleines; sandwiches and savoury tarts; and wines and cocktails. The cafe will usually close at 6.30pm when the shop shuts but on evenings where there are events being held, you'll be able to get drinks and snacks until later."
