The story
Humble Crumble has carved out a 4.6-star niche at its Seven Dials Warehouse outpost, where the appeal lies in fully customisable crumbles. Creator Where The Foodies Go highlighted the “fantastic hot-cold contrast” – the crème brûlée–style custard topping, they said, is a standout. Two builds exemplify that interplay: a Crumble with Mixed Berries, Marshmallow and Hazelnuts, and a Crumble with Custard and Meringue.
Meanwhile, Doobydobap called the chain’s apple crumble with hot custard an “obsession” they can’t shake. Both reviews capture why this is a no-fuss destination for a satisfying sweet fix.

Reviewers describe the apple crumble as a perfect, buttery triumph, with the overall vibe being a cozy, unpretentious warmth that feels like a hug in dessert form.
“The apple crumble has a layer of apple, cinnamon, and butter on the bottom, crumble on top, and then it gets ladled over with hot custard. The custard has speckles of vanilla and is simmering away in an Insta Pot. I love the layers of apple and cinnamon, the hot warm custard, and the crunchy crumble. It's satisfying, indulgent — all of the above. There are not many desserts that beat fruit-based desserts.”

Crumble with Mixed Berries, Marshmallow and Hazelnuts
We got a little dessert here at Camden Market from Humble Crumble. For those who don't know, crumble is a dessert made from shortbread crumbs with different fruits — apple and cinnamon, red fruits, various combinations. Typically you'd put custard on top, here it's like when you go to the poke — you can create your own. Base: red fruits, plums, and oranges, topping of melted marshmallow and hazelnuts. It's very good — the marshmallow is obviously sugary, and the contrast with the orange and plum underneath works well. Light? No, a calorie bomb, but very good. In mine I put mixed red fruits. On top there's a dollop of custard covered with sugar, which we then torched to get the typical crème brûlée crust, and then more crumble crumbs on top. The red fruits I put are hot, the custard is cold — so a fantastic hot-cold contrast, and the nice caramelised flavour of the crème brûlée. Guys, this is a dessert worth eating, especially in this weather.
