Chocolate Bash

I ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries at this spot when they opened at 12 on Sunday on a whim! I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, the price does come in steep at around $18 but it's a nice once in a while sweet treat. I've never had Dubai chocolate on its own previously, but I think the strawberries add the perfect level of tartness to what would otherwise become a bit overwhelming in terms of sugar levels for me! The trick is to get the right ratio of chocolate to strawberry in each bite. I can definitely see why it has become a viral sensation online. The combination of a classically known sweet (milk chocolate) with less commonly used ingredients in the Western world (knafeh and tahini paste) definitely add to its intrigue. The texture is creamy, flaky, and fleshy due to the different components in this. I'd definitely come back to try more of their dishes and to order the same thing again.

Service was friendly and patient. Our order was completed quickly. Their menu is extensive. We asked what a bash cup was and even after being given the answer we didn't really know what it was. Their Instagram marketing has gotten people in the door and seemingly every customer is trying the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup. Where they lost points:1) price. $18 is steep for what you get and $9 for a Twix milkshake about the size of grande cup. Neither were impressive enough to cost double what they seemed worth. With tip and tax our total was over $30. Eek!2) the shop was in need of a cleaning. The floors, tables, and trash can were all very dirty which made dining there feel a bit gross. It was worth a try, but I'm not expecting to be back.

I wanna start out with saying the staff was so friendly. The staff working were definitely trying their best! The store was cute, but very busy. I went during a busy time, I wanted to get the Dubai chocolate strawberries but unfortunately, they were already sold out for the day. Instead, I ordered just a strawberry bash cup with dark chocolate. (12.99)I waited for about 30 minutes before was ready, and when I got it, I was honestly so disappointed. The chocolate was already hard because it melted enough. So it was more of a chocolate drizzle.I believe the 12.99 for the amount of chocolate on the cup was overpriced. However, if the chocolate cup would've looked like the photos I would have not complained. I think maybe having an extra person on staff would definitely make things run smoother for everyone.

Crepes, waffles, pancakes, milkshakes, chocolate and so much more! We traveled here to have the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup and it was so delicious! The wait is very long so come with patience. Tables for groups.

I love pistachio and I wanted to try their Dubai Chocolates so I didn't mind driving 10+ miles to San Jose and wait 45 minutes for the food.They were out of Dubai Chocolate bars when I go to the front of the line. It took about 15 minutes to get to order the food in addition to the 45 minute wait to get the food.Got the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup. It was $17.99 for fresh strawberries drizzled with pistachio "icing" and chocolate. The pistachio icing tasted like pistachio flavored white chocolate. Very mild pistachio flavor. The strawberries were sweet.It was good but very pricey for $17.99.Got the Knafeh Cookie Butter chocolate bar be Dubai Chocolate was out. It was also good but a bit too sweet for my taste. The little bits of crunchy pieces filling made it interesting.Ice cream with brownies was good but nothing to note.

The place was packed. People even had to wait outside. It didn't take too long to order. We waited about 20 minutes for an oreo shake and another 25 for a plate with cut up fruit and a cup of chocolate. The oreo shake was average. My fruit plate was good. The wait was too long to constitute the food.

YUMMMM! I got the Arabic coffee and split the chocolate and fruit fondue with two other friends. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. The coffee was nice and cardamom-y and the chocolate was so decadent and not overly sweet! I loved the ambiance. There were lots of people even near closing, there was plenty of seating and some games available to play. I highly recommend this as a little dessert spot!

I'm excited to have a spot to grab a Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Bar! But keep in mind the day and time you visit...I first saw this place on Instagram. Some other foodies and Yelp Elites were posting about it but I decided to wait before visiting immediately. A few weeks later I saw this place again on TikTok. I wanted to wait longer to try it out, but I figured I better try them out sooner than later. I noticed that new places usually open for a few weeks, read feedback, and then close for a bit to revamp things.When we went to the plaza, we could already see from the street that there was a long line that was going out the door, so one person went in line while I went to park the car. After walking in, we noticed there were not only a lot of people in line but there were also a lot of people just waiting around inside and outside waiting for their orders. This made us a little nervous since we had no idea how long the wait would have been.We ordered a Cookie Butter Chocolate Bar (they ran out of the Pistachio Chocolate Bars), a Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, a Hot Turkish Coffee, Brownie Bites, and a Brownie Ice Cream Cup. Now was the time we had to wait. We ended up having to wait outside because inside was so packed and crowded. And unfortunately, it was a cold night to be waiting outside, but we had nowhere else to wait. We were thinking of waiting in the car, but they were calling out names when orders were ready so we had no choice but to wait outside in front.As we were waiting outside, we were observing the workers and wondering why orders were taking so long to come out. Here are some things we noticed:1) With the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup being the most popular item, of course, it was the main item that was coming out. The issue was that they would run out of strawberries pretty fast after putting the orders together. They had a large bucket of strawberries that would run out fast and it looks like the issue was that someone needed to cut the strawberries every time they would run out. OUR SUGGESTION would be for them to have the strawberries already cut at least a few hours before. If not, then they should have 1 person designated to cut strawberries WHILE orders are being fulfilled.2) They only had 1 order fulfillment screen. So when workers are trying to look at orders, they seem to have a hard time getting to the screen since ALL workers need to look at the same small screen.3) It seems like the prep area is only in the front and it looked like the workers were continuously bumping into each other or squeezing in between their coworkers to get what they needed to fulfill orders. OUR SUGGESTION would be for some of the prep areas to be in the back so not all the workers are congested in 1 area.4) We understand that this place is still new so they may not have all the resources to implement suggestions or accommodations, but OUR SUGGESTION that we think would be helpful would be for orders to be linked to customer phone numbers so customers can wait in their cars and not have to wait outside when there's no room inside.In total, we waited about 50 minutes for our order. The Cookie Butter Chocolate Bar was just okay. I was hoping to get the Pistachio Chocolate Bar, but I'll try to get it another day when they have more. The coffee was just okay, it seemed to be missing sugar. Brownie Bites were good and Brownie Ice Cream Cup was good as well. With the Dubai Strawberry Chocolate Cup, it was also good but I feel like they could've added more chocolate and I wished they layered the strawberries and pistachio/knafeh cream. It seemed like it was only on the top and not in the middle or bottom. I think something that would be cool is if you could choose the type of chocolate! For example, choosing milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate.Overall, we weren't extremely impressed, especially with how much we paid and how long we waited. I'm hoping to come back after a few months when things have improved and the hype has calmed down. But I'm glad that we visited early because I did see on social media that they ran out of pistachio cream so they were unable to sell the strawberry cups.

Have been there a few times now, and the service is amazing. Ive seen a lot of negative reviews but honestly For a starting business they're doing great! I got the sample platter a few times and it was delicious. I always get the peanut butter shake with banana, taste amazing! It's a family owned business and the owners are super considerate. Will definitely be back for more!

I love going to this dessert spot it's seriously the best. Their Twix milkshakes are crazy good, super creamy, and loaded with caramel and chocolate. And don't even get me started on their mini pancakes--they're so fluffy and just the right amount of sweet. If you're into desserts that never disappoint, you've got to check this place out!
