Without custard I’d be crumbs.
Silky vanilla custard, freshly baked crumble, and the only real decision on the menu: hot or cold.
The idea
Smooth vanilla custard against crumble baked the same day — the English dessert tradition, rebuilt for a city that eats standing up.
You pick a base: fresh mango, strawberry, milk cake, chocolate cake. It gets buried under our crumble. Then custard goes over the top while you watch. Hot or cold is your call, and people are genuinely split on it — cold in July, hot in January, and a stubborn minority who never switch. Ask for the crème brûlée finish and the top gets torched to a crack.
Custard and crumble is one of the simplest desserts there is, which is exactly why nobody was selling it here. Humm Crumbs opened in 2024 to introduce a flavour the region didn’t have — and Dubai, with a dessert scene that rewards anyone willing to try something unfamiliar, was the only sensible place to start.
The bet was on restraint rather than novelty. No stacking, no gimmick, no third texture. A base, a crumble, a pour.
It worked fast. Within the first year the brand was showing up at the events the city actually turns out for, and a Global Village season put the bowl in front of a crowd that had never heard of it.
The simplest pleasures bring the greatest joy. Everything we make is one spoonful of proof.
A base, a crumble, a pour — four ways.
The signature
The full argument in one cup: torched custard, crumble, and a scoop on top.
Served in the fruit itself, torched to a crack on top.
A coconut shell, filled and blowtorched. Nothing else needed.
The one for anyone who doesn’t want fruit in a dessert. Order it either way.
