Participant information

Cocomaya

Bayswater, London

An artisan chocolate shop selling a range of single estate chocolate delicacies, alongside chocolate drinks, ice cream, brownies and cakes using the rarest and finest cocoa beans.

Three of London’s key players in fashion and lifestyle - Joel Bernstein, Gail Mejia and Walid Al Damirji - have created an original concept environment for the shop on Connaught Street, with personally sourced settings and display units. Green degrade effect walls, reclaimed wood floor, marble top counters and pink high gloss display units act as a backdrop to the menagerie of antique glass and mirrored pieces used to display product. Butterflies dotted on walls lend a touch of fantasy. This is old-world with a contemporary twist.

Bespoke items can be created, from chocolate insects to a chocolate violin – the perfect gift for the person who has everything. Chocolates will be presented on semi-precious stones or in boxes, jewel-like in colour.

The products have no artificial sugars, sweeteners or preservatives giving a unique taste and will be made on the premises by chocolatier Jonathan Suthee Phelk Deddis. Everything sold is made in England from ethical sources.
