Dear Friends and Valued Customers,

Our journey began with a strong foundation of friendship and passion. We, Ali and Cemal, left behind our careers in security and education to follow our dream of creating a cafe that was more than just a spot to get a coffee. We envisioned a welcoming space where people could feel at home, savour delicious food, and truly connect with each other. From the very beginning, our goal was to craft a cafe experience that stood out among the countless options in London.
What sets Drury 188-189 apart is our commitment to creating genuine connections and moments. We intentionally chose not to offer WiFi, encouraging our guests to engage with each other and their surroundings. We also curated a selection of books that you can borrow whilst enjoying the ambience and a great cup of coffee.
