GREEK SOUL. CANTERBURY HEART.

SMALL BITES.
BIG STANDARDS.

Indulgence should never be an afterthought. At Lookumades, it is the whole point.

OUR OBSESSION, FROM THE FIRST BITE.

A GOLDEN
LITTLE
RITUAL.

Meet Loukoumades: golden bites with a delicate, crisp shell and a soft, airy centre. Served hot and finished with something sweet, they turn a handful of simple ingredients into a moment worth sharing.

At Lookumades, we make ours to order. First comes the golden doughnut, fresh from the fryer. Then your choice of sauce, a little crunch and a generous finishing touch. Warm, soft, crisp and sticky—all in one bite.

They’re made for the middle of the table, a catch-up over coffee or a sweet detour through Canterbury. Choose your favourite, try something new and decide for yourself whether you’re sharing.

A SHARED STORY

GREEK ROOTS.
OUR OWN CHAPTER.

For co-founder Adam Papa-Adams, loukoumades are part of his Greek Cypriot heritage. That personal connection sits at the heart of Lookumades: a familiar favourite, made with care and served with generosity.

Alongside lifelong friend and co-founder Cliff White, Adam has brought that love of Loukoumades to Canterbury. Together, they’re building a place where hot loukoumades, house-made gelato and Australian-style coffee give people a reason to stop, sit down and enjoy themselves.

The name on the door is Lookumades. At its heart is our love of Loukoumades. Come hungry. We’ll take it from there.
