- Humble Crumble is coming to Seven Dials
Humble Crumble is a dessert shop that serves exactly what you think - various pots of steamed fruit covered with crumble and done extremely well. Since originally starting as a pop-up, they've been hugely popular and now have stalls in Camden and Borough as well as a Spitalfields shop. And now they're coming to central London.
They're opening in Seven Dials near Covent Garden, so if you're in the need

Sweet dreams are most definitely made of this - for the perfect end to any meal, we've rounded up some of the best desserts to be found in London's restaurants right now.
- Treats Club bring their hot doughnuts to Shoreditch
We've seen fresh hot doughnut maker Treats Club in various forms, as both a pop-up and a longer-term space in Netil Market. Now owner Lungi Mhlanga is bringing Treats to Shoreditch with a new permanent shop.
If you haven't been to Treats before, it works a little differently to your average doughnut shop. Each one on the menu is cooked to order so when it gets to your hands it'll be

- Pizza Pilgrims are opening a Nutella Ring Pizza kiosk in Carnaby
Kingly Court's always a busy old place but we predict that a new opening from the Pizza Pilgrims will make it just that bit harder to get a seat there.
From next week they'll be running what they're describing as a Nutella Ring Pizza Café from the kiosk outside their pizza restaurant in Carnaby.
In the morning they'll kick things off with £1 espressos which you can pimp up with a spoon of Nutella
... - Jollibee is finally bringing the Peach Mango Pie to London
The hugely popular Jollibee restaurants in London may not have the enormous queues they had when they opened, but are about to launch something that might make them build up again. The Peach Mango Pie is a much-revered Jollibee dessert dish and is about to come to the UK for the first time.
Apparently, they sold 45 million of them worldwide last year so you can probably understand why
... - My Cookie Dough pops up near Leicester Square
They already have two London stores at the Westfield supermalls, but in the run up to Christmas you can now try all manner of sweet treats from My Cookie Dough's first central London popup.
This week they're opening up a festive popup on Charing Cross Road, just around the corner from Leicester Square. And, in addition to their usual flavours they're putting on two specials just for this spot.
The first is a 24K
... - Where to get the best French toast in London
In recent years London brunching has been all about avo on toast. But who really wants that, when they could be ordering one of these gorgeous, calorific French toast delights instead?
- Creams Cafe are launching a dessert poke bowl
There's no getting past the fact that poke bowls have become a thing in London of late. Creams Cafe have clearly noted that as well - however, they seem to have (deliberately) misread the brief. So where on one side you have a generally healthy bowl of seafood and vegetables, Creams have gone in another direction.
Yes indeed - their poke dessert bowl is a warm waffle wedge base, topped
... - Haute Dolci dessert restaurant comes to London, landing at Wembley Park
24/5/21 - updated with new opening date
A new dessert bar is coming to Wembley Park after making its name around the country first. Haute Dolci has opened in Birmingham, Leeds and Leicester among others - and this is their first London launch, part of the development around the arena at Wembley Park. They say dessert bar, but going by the look, it's more like a

Next weekend we'll all be honorary Welsh folk - if it means getting hold of one of Brat's legendary cheesecakes.
To celebrate the upcoming St David's Day, the Shoreditch restaurant is opening for a weekend to sell its world-class baked Basque cheesecake. They'll use the sale to raise funds for The Wickers Charity with all proceeds going to the charity which supports young people and families in East London.

- Bompas & Parr launch jelly company Benham & Froud
Self-styled 'culinary deviants' Bompas & Parr have designs on your Christmas Day dessert. The duo have launched a new jelly company that looks set (pardon the pun) to win over Christmas pudding as a show stopper dessert.
Benham & Froud is named after the old British company, founded back in 1785, which used to make the world's best jelly moulds. They made other stuff too, notably the orb and cross that now sits on top of St Paul's
