07/2/26

Discover the centuries-old European dessert that's making its Georgia debut at Lumier's in Peachtree Corners, just 25 minutes from Atlanta.

If you're always searching for the newest foodie destination near Atlanta, there's a sweet new reason to hit the road. Georgia's first dedicated chimney cake shop has officially opened in Peachtree Corners, bringing the famous Eastern European pastry known as Kürtőskalács to the state for the very first time.

Already creating buzz across social media, Lumier's has quickly become one of the most talked-about dessert spots in the Atlanta area. From warm, freshly baked chimney cakes to soft serve creations loaded with toppings, it's an experience that's as delicious as it is Instagram-worthy.

What Is a Chimney Cake?

A chimney cake, traditionally called Kürtőskalács, is a centuries-old pastry that originated in Eastern Europe. The dough is wrapped around a rotating cylinder, baked until golden brown, and coated in caramelized sugar, creating a crispy exterior with a soft, fluffy interior.

Today, chimney cakes are often served with ice cream, fresh fruit, chocolate, caramel, cookies, and other toppings, making them one of the most unique desserts you'll find.

Where Is Georgia's First Chimney Cake Shop?

Lumier's is located at:

6135 Peachtree Parkway, Suite 605
Peachtree Corners, GA 30092

Just about 25 minutes from downtown Atlanta, Lumier's offers Georgia residents their first opportunity to enjoy authentic chimney cakes without traveling overseas.

Why Is Everyone Talking About Lumier's?

The excitement goes beyond the dessert itself.

Customers get to watch fresh dough being wrapped around rotating ovens, baked to perfection, coated in cinnamon sugar, and transformed into beautiful dessert creations topped with soft serve, caramel, chocolate, cookies, and fresh fruit.

Its eye-catching presentation has made Lumier's one of the newest viral food destinations in Georgia.

What Does a Chimney Cake Taste Like?

Think of the comforting flavor of fresh bread combined with cinnamon sugar and caramelized pastry.

The outside is slightly crisp while the inside stays warm, soft, and chewy. Add creamy soft serve ice cream and your favorite toppings, and you get the perfect balance of warm and cold in every bite.

Is It Worth the Drive?

Absolutely.

Whether you're a foodie, dessert lover, content creator, or simply looking for a unique weekend adventure, Lumier's offers an experience unlike anything else currently available in Georgia.

Instead of another traditional bakery or ice cream shop, you're enjoying a centuries-old European dessert that's finally made its way to the Atlanta area.

  • Bring your camera because every dessert is photo-worthy.
  • Try a classic cinnamon sugar chimney cake on your first visit.
