Handmade Brownies, Baked in the UK Since 2003

Brownie Heaven is a UK-based online brownie delivery bakery, founded in 2003. What began as a small coffee shop in Anlaby Common, East Yorkshire, has grown into a nationwide service delivering handmade, gourmet brownies — affectionately known as Kneemelters — to customers across the UK.

The Moment That Changed Everything

At a farmers’ market in Beverley in 2006, something unforgettable happened. A runner, just finished with a 10k, stopped at our stall and tried a sample. Her knees literally gave way. She laughed and said:
“I must have one… but I’ve no money.”

We gave her a brownie anyway. Later that day, she returned — not just to repay us, but to buy two full bags. That was the moment we realised: we weren’t simply selling brownies. We were selling irresistible emotions. Happiness you can taste.

From Farmers’ Markets to Nationwide Brownie Delivery

Our “Kneemelters” became favourites at food festivals and local events, earning a reputation for rich, fudgy indulgence. By 2007, we launched Brownie Heaven online to share the joy beyond our local community.

A New Home in the Peak District

Our story has taken us from Yorkshire to Warwickshire, and now to a place we’ve fallen in love with: Lane Head Farm in the Peak District.

When we found this beautiful place to live, we could imagine a new home for Brownie Heaven here too. We’ve since converted one of the barns into a purpose-built bakery, bringing our home and our passion for baking together, surrounded by the Peak District hills.

After more than two decades, over a million brownies and more than 40,000 parcels of happiness, this feels like a very special next chapter. We’re still baking by hand, still dreaming up slightly outrageous flavours, and still getting far too excited about a really good brownie.

The view from the bakery has changed. The aim is the same: to make your knees melt.

Why We Bake

Life is busy. Time is short. But joy can be delivered. Every brownie we bake is crafted with the finest ingredients and the same care as when we first began — from nostalgic flavours like Cherry Bakewell to showstopping creations like our Brownie Mountains.

Whether you’re:

Treating yourself after a long week

Sending a thoughtful gift to someone special

Hosting a party and want a centrepiece that makes people gasp

…Brownie Heaven is here to bring a little joy, one kneemelting bite at a time.

A Taste of Heaven, Straight to Your Door

With every order, we’re not just sending brownies. We’re sending indulgence, comfort, and a smile. That’s why so many of our customers say they don’t just want our brownies — they need them.
