Honey and Spice food store to quit Warren Street

Owners of a small chain of middle-eastern delicatessens and cafes have announced their Warren Street food store is to close permanently this month.

Honey and Spice, run by Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich, has been at 52 Warren Street for 10 years and was the second of their shops to open.

Their original shop and cafe, named Honey and Co, opened at 25A Warren Street in 2012 but shut in 2022. With this month’s closure of Honey and Spice at number 52 it brings to a end 14 years of trading on the street.

In an email to their customers they explained that they had decided not to renew their existing lease on the shop.

“Saturday 28 March will be our last day of trading on Warren Street,” said Packer and Srulovich.

“What an end of an era! Honey & Spice is full of so many memories for us: morning cardamom coffees, the birth place of sesame bread and hummus pots, our podcast recordings, and little moments of joy that have got us to where we are today.”

The couple’s food business started as a single shop on Warren Street in 2012 and now boasts five outlets — three in Fitzrovia and two on Lamb’s Conduit Street in Holborn.
