KUMI

Tucked down the charming laneway of Courthouse Lane in Auckland’s city centre, KUMI Desserts is a late-night haven for those craving something sweet after dinner. Located near High Street’s boutiques and bars, the dessert café has quickly become a popular stop for visitors exploring the CBD. With its cosy, modern interior and playful menu, KUMI offers a relaxed spot to pause, share a treat with friends and enjoy one of Auckland’s most indulgent dessert experiences.

The menu focuses on eye-catching Asian-inspired desserts, particularly fluffy soufflé pancakes and refreshing snow bingsu—a Korean shaved-ice dessert known for its light, airy texture. Signature creations include the mango snow bingsu, topped with fresh mango, mango pearls and coconut jelly, as well as decadent options like choco brownie bingsu and strawberry cheesecake variations. The jiggly pancakes are equally impressive, arriving tall and cloud-soft in flavours such as Biscoff, crème brûlée, strawberry cream and mochi blueberry, making them a standout for those who love desserts that are as photogenic as they are delicious.

Open into the late evening—and even into the early hours on weekends—KUMI is one of the CBD’s go-to late-night dessert spots. Whether you’re wandering the High Street precinct, finishing dinner nearby or simply chasing a midnight sweet fix, this Courthouse Lane gem delivers a playful mix of fluffy pancakes, icy bingsu and shareable treats that turn dessert into an experience.
