Melange Dubai
Treat yourself to desserts from this Dubai-based bakery, known for creating towering cakes, tarts and cookies. Mélange specialises in small-batch gourmet bites and luckily its menu showcases options perfect for the chocoholics out there. Try the black forest cake, salted caramel chocolate 'quarantine' number, and the irresistible cocoa and coffee cookies at Melange's new pop-up at ME by Melia in The Opus By Omniyat, designed by the legendary Zaha Hadid. There's even a new flavour inspired by the late architect with hazelnut, mascarpone and mocha. Otherwise you'll find a curated selection of their cookies and tahini brownies at the Depachika Food Hall in Nakheel Mall.

Al Nassma Chocolate

Find confectionery with a difference at Al Nassma, the world's first chocolate company to use a very special ingredient in their creations – camel milk. First launched in 2008, this Emirati brand's delicious bars are available in several flavours and are made using just four other ingredients: sugar, honey, cocoa butter and vanilla. A distinctive gift idea, you can discover the entire range at their dedicated boutique in Deira's Gold Souk, while selected Al Nassma chocolates are also available at local convenience stores and shopping malls like The Dubai Mall.
Cocoville
Patchi
This upmarket Lebanese chocolatier stands out thanks to the use of all-natural and premium ingredients. Patchi, which was founded in Beirut in 1974, has long been a favourite of Dubai residents. You'll find Patchi boutiques across the city, including Mercato Mall and City Centre Mirdif. Aside from their bestselling gift boxes, you can also treat yourself to specialist creations, such as the cocoa-dusted almonds and layered chocolate with yogurt cream, biscuit and strawberry jam.
