Popularity of Dubai chocolate has grown beyond social media and landed in Raleigh. The dessert is a milk chocolate bar filled with a center of pistachio cream and kataifi, a crispy shredded phyllo dough.

Since then, Dubai chocolate’s presence has continued to increase and show up in various shops. Here’s where you can get a taste in Oak City.

Champloo Desserts | 8320 Litchford Rd., Ste. 150 | Grab your chocolate along with a boba tea or smoothie to wash it down.

Al-Basha Market & Grill | 501 Method Rd. | In addition to carrying the popular chocolate, this local spot is a market + restaurant with bites like chicken shawarma.

Common Grounds Coffee House & Desserts | 219 N. Salem St., Apex | Pair your Dubai dessert with fresh gelato at this coffee shop.
