Kumo Desserts is a dessert shop at 25 Anzac Rd in Rothesay Bay, on Auckland's North Shore, and it holds a 5.0 rating on Google. Dessert shops worth their salt usually work in small batches, and that shapes the visit: the fullest selection tends to be out earlier in the day, and popular lines can be gone by mid-afternoon. What you buy is generally made to be eaten that day rather than kept, so it pays to plan the sweet moment for sooner rather than later. Regulars tend to ask what came out of the kitchen most recently instead of ordering from the cabinet alone, and they judge a place on texture — a light sponge, a properly set cream, something that still has its crunch. A five-star dessert shop a short stroll up Anzac Rd is a handy thing for the East Coast Bays to have.
