Is Dubai chocolate getting more popular in Melbourne?

Not at the moment. The Froth rates Dubai chocolate as Fading as of 14 Nov 2026: searches in Melbourne are under half their 12-month high, and cafes are not picking it up: too few of the same cafes have it to read a change (5, against 5 in the 90 days before). In the 90 days to 14 Nov 2026, 2.3% of the Melbourne cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in that time) had it. Among the 1,210 cafes we have followed through both periods, 5 of the same cafes had it, against 5 in the 90 days before. Melbourne searches for it were down 79% in Aug to Oct 2026 compared with Aug to Oct 2025.

How many people search for Dubai chocolate in Melbourne?

When did Dubai chocolate first show up in Melbourne cafes?

The earliest Melbourne cafe post or customer review about Dubai chocolate that The Froth has is from 14 Jun 2025. We only see what we collect, so that is when we first saw it, not when it started: it may have been sold earlier, here or elsewhere.

What is in a Dubai chocolate bar?

A typical Dubai chocolate bar, drawn from Melbourne cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with green drizzle (white chocolate coloured green, piped over), chocolate top (more chocolate poured over to seal it), pistachio kataifi (pistachio cream folded through toasted kataifi pastry, for the crunch) and chocolate shell (milk chocolate set in a deep bar mould). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical plate, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for Dubai chocolate from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with cafe posts or reviews (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Melbourne with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
