About Knot Churros
London churros and dessert brand Knot Churros was founded in 2019 by interior designer Anisah Taj and has grown to a flagship store in Knightsbridge, a boutique cafe in South Kensington a kiosk in Westfield White City and a unit in Camden Market. In February 2025, Knot Churros said it was set to expand outside of London for the first time with a launch at Newcastle’s Metrocentre.
It describes itself as offering “the world’s first churros afternoon tea and churros cotton candy combo” as well as “London’s first cotton candy burrito and cotton candy milkshake”. It also offers breakfast bagels, burgers and fries alongside its signature baked churros and “viral desserts”, plus a range of merchandise.
“With three models available, we aim to make joining our franchise accessible to as many people as possible,” a company spokeswoman said. “You are able to open your very own dine-in dessert bar boasting 50-60 seats, a smaller 20-seat boutique café/bar with a focus on takeaway, or a kiosk that is perfect for shopping malls.
“We are looking for determined, ambitious, driven, and self-motivated individuals who share in our passion for creating beautiful and luxurious confectionaries. Ideal franchise partners will be providing consistently high levels of customer service and immersive experiences in exquisitely jaw-dropping spaces.”
