Bean-to-Bar Chocolate


At N2 Sweet Lab, our bean-to-bar chocolate is crafted from ethically sourced fine flavour cacao beans, transformed in-house through roasting, refining and careful flavour development. By working directly from the cacao bean, we are able to explore the natural character, aroma and complexity of chocolate in its purest form.

Each batch is produced in small quantities with a focus on balance, texture and flavour, allowing every origin and fermentation style to express its unique profile — from bright fruit and floral notes to deeper cocoa, nutty and dessert-like flavours.

The cake we ordered (lavender and blackcurrant) was just wonderful! Sophisticated and just delicious, joy to look at and to eat. And so special it being handmade by a family run business rather than mass produced. Really great way to celebrate a special event - thank you very much! We'll be back for more.

"Absolutely amazing cakes, not only do they look amazing but taste delicious. Have ordered multiple times from n2 Sweet Lab and have never been disappointed! Also really helpful when it comes to specific dietary requirements!"

"I’m always so impressed with the service and quality from N2 Sweet Lab.
Sweet treats available in store and for bespoke order are both delicious! Ned has always been able to make my orders to perfection
.The passion fruit entremet cake is my favorite - visually stunning and delicious tasting. Each unique layer is beautifully flavored and far more impressive than anything you can get in other high street bakeries
.I’ve also had a chance to sample the chocolates. These make a great gift as they’re coated in a beautifully colorful shine which sets them apart from the usual boxes of chocolates available. The salted caramel and passion fruit chocolates are my personal favorites but all are definitely worth a try
.I would highly recommend N2 Sweet Lab for the most tasty and extravagant treats you could want."
