After making a boom across social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, the viral Dubai chocolate bar continues to maintain a strong hold across many foodies’ FYPs – and for good reason. Truth be told, who can resist the tempting combination of rich milk chocolate, crispy kataifi (a.k.a. shredded phyllo pastry), and creamy pistachio filling?
Luckily, quite a few bakeries and cafes around Westchester have hopped on the Dubai chocolate bar trend, giving it their own spin in the process. If you love the sound of the OG treat, give these local riffs a try. Who knows? They may just be better than the original.
Baked After Midnight
Around Westchester
Order: Dubai chocolate cookies
Is it any surprise that the local cookie connoisseur behind Baked After Midnight whipped up a Dubai chocolate cookie? The treats are substantial, and the green-brown drizzle atop each one will have you begging to bite into them. Good luck keeping a box of these beauties to yourself.

Order: Dubai brew
With multiple locations in and around Westchester County, Bobo’s Café knows a thing or two about what makes a menu hit. One of its newer offerings, the Dubai brew, is akin to the TikTok-famous treat in liquid form. It features chocolate-flavored cold brew with a pistachio soft top. Afternoon coffee run, anyone?

Chocolations
607 E Boston Post Rd, Mamaroneck
Order: Dubai egg three-pack
Trust Chocolations to lean into a chocolate-powered trend. The Mamaroneck eatery crafts sweet chocolate eggs that are filled with crispy phyllo and nut butters and not too big, which means they’re perfect when you want a little something sweet after your lunch break. Plus, they just so happen to be ideal additions to Easter baskets, in case you have any last-minute chocolate shopping to do.

Homestyle Desserts Bakery
22 S Water St, Peekskill
Order: Dubai chocolate cannoli
Homestyle Desserts may be known for its Italian cookie creations, but its Dubai chocolate concoctions are just as noteworthy. Its Dubai chocolate cookie features a chocolate chip cookie base that’s stuffed with Dubai chocolate filling, then drizzled with chocolate and pistachio ganache and pistachio pieces. Our top pick, however, would have to the Dubai chocolate cannoli. Filled with pistachio-phyllo cream and dipped in rich chocolate, they make for showstopping desserts.

La Tulipe Desserts
455 Lexington Ave, Mt. Kisco
Order: Dubai bar
La Tulipe Desserts offers so many sweet treats that it can feel nearly impossible to choose just one (so don’t). Its picture-perfect Dubai chocolate bars feature artsy green swirls on the top, with 10 sections to each bar. True to the original, they’re filled with pistachio and phyllo. P.S. While at the Mount Kisco storefront, keep an eye out for the Dubai chocolate-inspired individual desserts, which feature milk chocolate mousse with pistachio and crispy kataifi centers and a hazelnut chocolate glaze.
