Humble Crumble in City of London, Westminster

Very simple idea but works really well. Choice of 3 fruit fillings and 3 toppings which you can pick and mix - wait a few minutes while they prepare it and then eat “on the go” or find a place in one of Borough Markets sitting areas. Quality and taste are excellent - we all loved it.

Tried this Delicious dessert for the first time and absolutely loved it. If you love crumble than this is the place to try at least once. There is always a massive queue but with their quick service you don’t have to wait long. Time passes while you people watch in Spiterfields Market and wait for your turn.

We were very excited to try Humble Crumble after seeing all of the hype on Instagram. My husband, kids, and myself were very disappointed with our crumbles with “ frozen custard”, and the Lemon Meringue special. The fruit was undercooked, the sauce was a liquid mess like juice ( instead of a gooey meld of fruit flavors), and I don’t get how the frozen blob on our desserts was custard. It tasted like ice milk without flavoring. It wasn’t even as good as an ice cream cone from McDonald! I wouldn’t recommend filling yourself up with this dessert when there are so many other great options at Bourough Market! And… it’s a lot of money for what you get.

Looking for a sweet bite after a late-morning first meal of the day, I stumbled across Humble Crumble in the Borough Market. I'm a sucker for vanilla bean anything, so I ordered a classic apple crumble with a generous scoop of vanilla bean cream on top and frozen custard. Ordering was super-easy. Step up to any of several tablets; make all your choices; pay; stand back and wait for them to call you. All done by oneself at one's own pace. I was tempted by the other custards. Apparently this place specializes in hot custard, and they also have room-temperature custard. However, frozen dairy and I are inveterate lovers, so it was never really a question. The overall dish was a deconstructed take on an apple crumble or strudel with vanilla sauce and ice cream except the sauce is thick cream and featured much more prominently. For something a little bit different but still creamy and familiar, I recommend Humble Crumble.

This is crumble heaven! A must visit when you love something sweet. It was definitely worth waiting 2 years for. A warm fruit filling, a crunchy crumble, topped of with toasted marshmallow... it was to die for!

We did a "food tour" in Borough Market and Humble Crumble was on the list for a long time, so we decided to wrap up the brunch with a nice dessert. The queue moves fast, and the options are visible before you reach the order point, which is great. Nonetheless, that is not a crumble, but rather an interpretation of one, or as someone born in 2000 would say, it's a deconstructed crumble. The crumble itself is more of a flour-smth, the flavor on the fruits was sub-par and the custard was served cold, even though we asked for it warm. I know, I know, why didn't we say smth? initially, we didn't know it was our crumble, and then we panicked. So we took our crumble, ate most of it (because it was not cheap) and then moved on. My heart still cries, it's like meeting your heroes in person. It's a trap, don't do it!!!

Save your money. It's £7.00 for apple crumble and custard in a little pot with a wooden spoon EWWW. The apple isn't all soft and it's cut into tiny cubes approx 1cm square with the peel still on some pieces. Quite an odd texture for a crumble I thought. The crumble is basic, nothing special at all, maybe just shortbread biscuits crunched up? The custard is AMAZING !!!!! THE BEST IVE EVER EATEN IN 52 YEARS. But ... There is not enough, and its spilled all down the sides. By the time you've eaten ½ of the pot its bone dry. Such a shame. I won't be back

Ohmygoodness! This definitely lives up to the hype! We didn't have a long wait but I would have waited longer. Mum and I shared a cup and it was amazing! Will definitely be returning!

Humble Crumble in the Borough market was a fun one time treat to try, but its not something that I crave to go back to. Queue by going to the side of the stand, when you reach the counter you place your order on the electronic pad, they will call you once your order is ready. The electronic pad offers numerous ways to customize your crumble.

At lunchtime on a Thursday during winter, the queue was not that bad, involving a wait of just 10 min or so. There are loads of possible combinations, but I played it safe and went for a classic apple crumble with hot custard. It was very good, although I had requested 50/50 fruit and crumble, but seemed to have a lot more of the former. I’d happily return as long as the queue was similarly reasonable next time. NOTE: I visited the Borough Market location, which seems incorrectly listed on Tripadvisor at present.

We visited the Borough Market Humble; ordering two crumbles, apple & cinnamon and wild berry. Both with shortbread crumble and gorgeous hot vanilla custard topping. Reasonable sized pots at £7 each so not the cheapest but as a treat worth every penny. Absolutely gorgeous

Humble Crumble is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite dessert spots. To put it simply, whether you're a fan of apple crumble or not, you'll undoubtedly fall head over heels for this place. Despite the constant crowd and long queues, every minute spent waiting is absolutely worth it. Their innovative creation, the "crumbrule," is a true showstopper that deserves a big WOW. During my recent visit to London, I couldn't resist going back three times. Don't think twice about it – a visit to Humble Crumble is an absolute must. Your taste buds will thank you for the delightful experience

This was the best apple crumble I have ever eaten. There was a huge line to order but it was worth the wait! Don't miss out on this incredibly sumptuous apple crumble!

Victims of the social media hype we sought this out in Borough market and joined the pretty lengthy queue - which unfortunately seemed to put many customers off. Clearly a busy time (Saturday afternoon) but the 45 minute wait was a little excessive but it did move consistently to keep you optimistic. You order via iPads (maybe reason for the wait?) and then wait for your order to be made. I would certainly suggest someone take the order to speed things up. The wait is worth it though (just) and it was delicious at a fairly reasonable price. Plenty of options but not too much to over face you and the custard is to die for. A must visit if in Borough market but maybe avoid Saturday afternoons!

I guess it’s reputation precedes is so a popular place. We went at about 3pm on a Saturday and had to wait about 45 mins to be served. Was the wait work it? No. I felt it was a boarder line over priced crumble served in a tub, custard spilling over the edge and had to eat it with a revolting wooden spoon. Wouldn’t bother going out of my way to visit this place.

Great produce and concept, tasted great. The only thing was it was very sickly and filling and they didn’t do something that we wanted to try. Was a bit disappointing, unfortunately won’t be rushing back :(

We loved it, it's delicious and special. I will go back there again for sure. A . .....stunning dessert

These are the best crumbles in London and the ques prove it. it is def worth the wait Go here and indulge yourself

This is a must for those who love pudding, my favourite is the elderflower berries crumble with warm custard. My brave little one loved this lovely treat on a fine sunny Saturday afternoon, perfect finish to a wonderful day in London Bridge and Borough.

Saw this on Instagram so was delighted to find it when wandering round a very busy Borough Market. Fate was on our side as the queue closed just after we got there. Emma who had the worst job ever of telling people the queue was closed deserved a medal. I have never heard so many people begging to be allowed to join a queue and at times being rude to her. At the end of the day they had closed and were close to running out. The crumble was amazing. We stayed traditional with our selection but it was good and well worth the wait. Will return when back in London next.

Such an inspired idea! Who wouldn't want to 'build your own' crumble! Really lovely, but next time I'd get a regular size one, as the large is way too filling! Lots of options to make it just how you want it. I had the apple...

Had a simple apple crumble with hot custard, but with a brûlée top. Great crumble and custard that didn’t need the brûlée top tbh. Despite some bad reviews, i’d say the hype is justified. Only £7 which is fair i’d say.

Delicious crumble and custard - with brulee topping too. Fabulous, friendly service. Staff were clearly working so hard. We will be back for sure.

It’s an unusual bucket list item, but having seen this on TikTok my daughter really wanted to find this stall! Choice of apple, berry half and half, choice of crumble and topping. We chose the half and half with custard and crème brûlée topping and...

Loved the actual product - fab crumble and the custard was even better. Only downside is that you have to order via iPad and the long queueing.

Disastrous customer service! Over 100 people queuing for over 40 minutes that stretches around the corner, but staff aren’t telling any of them they’re no longer serving past 3pm. Made a complaint with the staff and they say ‘they’re too busy’ to let queuing guests...

Waited over an hour in the queue, the staff had put a notice maybe 30 people behind us at 4ish stating queue had closed . We had been queuing for 20 minutes at this point and assumed we’d be ok , however at 5 minutes...

We stopped at the Borough Market location and got a delicious crumble. I had the cherry blackberry with shortbread crumble and whipped cream and it was excellent. The ‘whipped’ cream was more like clotted cream and super rich and tasty. The staff was very friendly....
