From lockdown bakes to 2 Great Taste Awards: Chocolate Dino is the indie bakery London can't stop talking about.

London, UK - September 2025 - Independent London bakery Chocolate Dino has reached two major milestones this year: earning two 2★ at the 2025 Great Taste Awards for its signature Biscoff Cheesecake and Pecan and Caramel Chocolate cookie, and surpassing 500 glowing customer reviews with an outstanding 4.9★ average rating on Google.

Founded during lockdown in May 2020 by hospitality veterans Rafal Smaszcz and Marcin Matykiewicz, Chocolate Dino began as a home kitchen project, selling gooey brownies online and at markets. Just five years later, the bakery's bright yellow café on Kennington Road, near Waterloo, has become a destination for locals, office workers, and visitors alike.

Award-Winning Treats with a Playful Twist

Chocolate Dino is best known for its fudgy, Great Taste Award-winning brownies and giant New York-style cookies, but its menu goes far beyond indulgent sweets. Customers flock for creative brunch dishes such as burrata croffles, buttermilk waffles, and shakshuka straight from the oven. The bakery serves premium speciality coffee from Volcano Coffee Works, alongside decadent hot chocolates made from real melted chocolate.

"When we started, we never imagined our brownies would go from lockdown comfort food to a product recognised with Great Taste Awards," says co-founder Rafal Smaszcz. "What makes us proudest isn't just the awards, though - it's that so many people keep coming back, leaving hundreds of kind reviews. That tells us we've created something special."

What's Next for the Dino

The bakery plans to expand with a new site in Waterloo area and is preparing to re-launch nationwide delivery of its award-winning cookies and brownies. Chocolate Dino has also been featured in Forbes, Condé Nast Traveller, and HELLO! Magazine, adding to its reputation as one of London's most exciting independent bakeries.

With its mix of artisan quality, playful branding, and neighbourhood warmth, Chocolate Dino continues to stand out in London's crowded café scene.
