Why yes, we absolutely DID eat our way through the city‘s top dessert spots to bring you this list. Glad you asked.
Our girl hobby is simply trying any dessert that pops up on our feed lately. And Dubai really is having a moment for viral food.
If you’ve been eyeing up some sweet treats making their rounds on your FYP, we bring you the ultimate guide to finding the viral desserts in Dubai – everything from croissant ice creams, viral bakeries and THAT Matilda chocolate cake.
Craving a croissant ice cream?
📍 Flaky Pastry, City Walk Boulevard & Dubai Creek Harbour.
Why you’ll 💘 it: Flaky Pasty just launched the croissant ice cream and bestie, it’ll have you drooling. They have flavors from raspberry, pistachio, and hazelnut caramel… *delish.* What could go wrong if you tried these babies out on your cheat day?
Price: Dhs34.
Crackling coffee
📍 Logout Coffee, Al Safa.
Why you’ll 💘 it: You’ll get white and dark chocolate syrup coated all over the cup with the simple motion of squeezing it…we can’t get enough of the taste and ASMR, tbh. This drink is available in chocolate, Matcha, and raspberry cheesecake. The vibes of the cafe are *immaculate.*
Fried ice cream is a thing…
Why you’ll 💘 it: Girl, Frozmo is all about the crunch. It’s hot, and the crispy exterior with the cold, creamy ice cream is *chef’s kiss*. The combo of warm and cold is unexpected but hits all the right spots of our taste buds.
Price: Between Dhs69 and Dhs185.

Goodbye puff pastry and hello to flat croissants
📍 BRIX Cafe, Jumeirah Fishing Harbour.
Why you’ll 💘 it: We feel like chewing on a yummy puffed croissant is a hassle, and this flatness is INNOVATION. BRIX Cafe is giving us a crisp, sweet, and texture blend. They don’t have only one type of chocolate; they have so many for you to pick and choose from.
Price: Dhs28.
Ice cream chocolate bites in this summer heat is NEEDED

Kunafa chocolate pistachio bar is INSANE
Why you’ll 💘 it: Fix Dessert Chocolatier’s “Can’t Get Knafeh of It” bar is here to stay. This mouth-watering dessert has tahini, pistachio, and milk chocolate all over it. Pistachio will always remain in season, and we can’t get enough of it.

bkry is pasrty HAVEN
📍 bkry, Al Serkal Avenue.
Why you’ll 💘 it: bkry is not only for the girls who are into the minimalist aesthetic but for those who have a sweet tooth for pastries! From croissants, buns, and melted tiramisu. Oh, and they’ve got all things Matcha. Perfect for the summertime.

Care for some chocolate and pistachio?
📍 Chocoart, Muwaileh Commercial, Sharjah.
Why you’ll 💘 it: And we are back with pistachio related content as usual…PURR. This place is a dupe for the Fix Dessert’s Chocolatier (since they are constantly out of stock, *sigh*). But, we are here for it and it is a bargain sis.
Price: Dhs15.
