The London Apron Story

Our brand's inception emanates from the enticing scent of freshly baked goods. While our spotlight moment on Channel 4 initially showcased our signature meringues, our story extends far beyond them. As a triathlete navigating a low-carb regimen, I encountered the struggle of sourcing delectable yet diet-compatible treats. This personal quest, coupled with my background as a pastry chef, ignited the creation of our distinctive keto cookies, meticulously crafted within our South London production hub.

Since starting the brand, what has been your personal highlight?

The most significant highlight for us has been the heartfelt messages we've received from our customers, particularly those following low-carb or special diets. Their stories show the profound impact our products have had on their lives. It's incredibly fulfilling to read reviews or receive comments that commend the taste of our cookies and underscore how they've served as pillars in helping individuals uphold their dietary aspirations. Every positive review is a testament to the countless hours spent perfecting our recipes and sourcing the finest ingredients. It reinforces our belief that food can be both nourishing and delightful, regardless of dietary restrictions. Knowing that our creations play a role, however small, in improving someone's day or assisting them in their wellness journey is immensely gratifying.

What has been your biggest learning?
