    Dubai chocolate crepe
    Chastity V.

    This is a small dessert stand in a market that serves very sweet takeout desserts. I walked in and placed an order on their iPad for a Dubai chocolate crepe ($16.38). No one called my name or acknowledged when I grabbed my order. Their two employees talked to each other but not to the customers. Zero eye contact, as well. There was also only one table with seats outside, so I took my food home. Parking is also difficult here. But the Dubai Chocolate Crepe (4/5) was pretty tasty, gooey, and rich. It was large crepe as well, good for two people to share. If you don't like your desserts extremely sweet, this might not be for you. I like sweet desserts, so I might come back.

    I saw a video of this spot on social media and went to go checked it out. It was a little busy upon arriving and we were just standing there waiting to order until we had asked and realized that there was like an iPad on the counter where we had to order, so maybe putting a visible sign or having the employees welcome and say something would be helpful. I got the Dubai chocolate crepe and added strawberries which came out to about $18. The flavor was good. It is a bit the sweeter side since they do drizzle A LOT of the pistachio and chocolate on top. The strawberries were necessary to balance out the sweetness, but without it, I think it would've been a little too sweet. It's big enough to share and the presentation was great.

    Located inside of another store but overall had a good experience. Workers were very welcoming. I got a crepe with Nutella strawberries and banana , it was so good ! Would definitely recommend if you are in the area !

    This is a no frill dessert spot. It is nested inside the grocery store so while you wait, you can buy some middle eastern grocery and snacks. We got the banana biscoff crepe because I love banana and Biscoff cookies and it also has chocolate on top. It is $15 after tax but it is a very delicious and huge crepe with tons of banana and cream. I was so impressed with the crepe!!! For me, this is a nice dessert to share with friends and family. I don't think I can eat this whole crepe by myself. Will come back to try Dubai Chocolate next!

    Biscoff banana kunafa
    Courtney A.

    Wanted to love it but I don't. We ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries and banana biscoff kunafa. I was shocked at the price for each item! The strawberries were $16 and the kunafa was $14. The strawberries were very ripe and fresh, but that wasn't my main gripe. I wish the pistachio sauce had more flavor. I could be wrong, but it tasted like white chocolate which is a huge disappointment. Pistachio sauce/cream is one of my favorite flavorings and this did not meet the mark. The kataifi was pink and had a sweet flavor to it, which also over powered the already sweet dessert. I was looking for rich chocolate, cold pistachio, and a salty crunch. Unfortunately, I got sweet paired with more sweet, paired with sweeter. Just too sweet to actually enjoy. The biscoff was also a letdown. Super sweet with minimal richness and salt from the cheese. It had the same dyed phyllo with an underlying sweetness and a definite imbalance of flavors. Would I come back here again? Probably, but for other food items. Their savory food selections smelled and looked incredible. I think for dessert, they deviated from their cultural roots to cater to the American flavors which is so disappointing! Maybe the savory options will hit the mark.

    The Sweet Spot really hit the spot! I ordered the Dubai chocolate crepe and it was absolutely delicious! so rich & gooey. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the portion was generous. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is a must-visit!

    Dubai Chocolate Kunafa
    Esther W.

    Can't believe we found this gem of a spot nestled in the Sunnyvale Market! High quality sweets from a local business. So surprised this spot is not more talked about. We ordered a Dubai Chocolate Kunafa (Knafeh) and it was made fresh on the spot for us. There were many other flavors to choose from as well (and strawberry cups - Dubai Chocolate, Biscoff, etc), but we were curious about the Knafeh. We took it to go and it stayed hot and crispy the whole way home. So tasty and really hit the spot! We will be back!

    The banana biscoff kunafa is good. It's kinda sweet so i would recommend sharing. I had no idea there is a cheese in the middle but it's actually very good

There were many to choose from, and I'm so glad I overheard the other customers ahead of us saying that the vanilla salted almond toffee flavor was what they are known for. We ended up getting that flavor as one of our two. For our second flavor of two scoops, we ended up getting the marshmallow neapolitan. -Vanilla salted almond toffee: I can see what the other customers meant for "this is what they're known for." I love that the almond is candied/carmelized with toffee. It gives it a roasty flavor, which gives the flavor so much depth. The almond also gives a bit of crunch/texture, which makes this flavor so unique. -Marshmallow neapolitan: I'm not typically someone who likes marshmallows or goes for neapolitan, as I don't like super sweet and I don't like mixing flavors. You can definitely taste all 3 flavors--vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. The marshmallow doesn't make the ice cream as sweet as I would have thought, it really just adds the marshmallow texture. The ice cream is very thick and creamy. It doesn't melt too fast to meld all the flavors together (which I don't really like), and I really appreciate that the ice cream holds together so well! The gentleman helping us was very patient in letting us try several flavors. The shop had a more old time feel. There is a bench to sit on to eat for a bit, but no tables. Overall, I would totally come back to try their unique flavors!

Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.

My latest visit was on 01/18/2026, when I met an old friend from South Dakota for breakfast. It was fairly busy when we arrived at 10am. No changes were noted to the interior -- it's still cozy and relaxing. We ordered a couple of ham and egg breakfast croissants, an iced coffee, and a hot cocoa. The total, with tip, came to about $32. The barista who helped us was friendly, and we were given a placard for our order. Our food was ready in about 10 minutes, and the same barista brought it to our table. The croissants were on the smaller side, served with a side of mixed greens. The taste was pretty good, making it a perfect light breakfast for a cold morning. The iced coffee was fine, though I wish the flavor had a bit more boldness. Overall, this visit was very much in line with my previous ones. I was able to catch up with a friend over decent coffee and food in a comfortable environment. They're favored by many locals for a reason. Keep this place in mind if you're looking for a coffee shop in Walnut Creek. 4 stars.

I worked from the barstools for about an hour and a half. After the breakfast rush had passed, I noticed plenty of open tables along the wall. Since I had thrown out my back this week and desperately needed more support, I moved to one of them. The sign said the table was reserved for up to two hours for customers who ordered food. Great--I had ordered food and had only been sitting there for about an hour. Nope. The same barista who took my order approached me to explain that the table was reserved for customers who ordered food. When I reminded her that I had, she asked what I ordered--as if she hadn't personally rung me up. She then told me I needed to return to the backless barstool. I challenged this because it made absolutely no sense. There were plenty of open tables, I was a paying customer and I was within the posted two-hour limit. She simply repeated that it was the policy. To be clear, the problem isn't that the policy was poorly communicated. The policy should not exist in the first place. Kicking a paying customer out of an empty chair and directing them back to a barstool is a horrible business model that lacks basic respect and hospitality. I left angry, embarrassed and regretting the money I spent here. I will absolutely not be returning.
