New ‘Dubai Chocolate’ Hits the Scene as Sweet Trends Keep Growing

Dubai’s dessert scene has fully embraced the hybrid chocolate trend, with spinoffs appearing everywhere, in mini tarts, croissants, even as toppings on soft serve. Each version adds its own take, turning a simple chocolate bar into a full-blown local phenomenon. And judging by the anticipation around the latest launch, the appetite is still strong.

Much like the viral Lotus desserts of a few years back, the memory of Biscoff cheesecake is still vivid, having taken over every café menu. This wave of nostalgic flavours taps into something more emotional than just a sugar craving. We’ve seen everything from croissants to doughnuts, every restaurant was swept up in the movement.

Although a global favourite, matcha lattes have had their moment too, gaining fresh momentum in Dubai after trending online. Café menus now feature them alongside pistachio drinks, and this green tea classic continues to resonate, especially when Instagrammable twists appear. These desserts and drinks reflect how local flavour, creativity, and a hint of nostalgia can quickly become part of the city’s cultural fabric. Sweet tooth or not, it’s hard not to be intrigued.
