Sweet Divas may seem like an unexpected hidden gem when its address is 400 Beach Drive NE, especially given the area’s focus on high-end shopping and dining. Yet this charming chocolate shop manages to fly just under the radar, offering a delicious escape for those in the know. A true chocolate wonderland, Sweet Divas is home to the viral Dubai chocolate bars that have taken TikTok and Instagram by storm, attracting chocolate lovers from near and far.
What is a Dubai chocolate bar? It’s made of crispy kataifi, pistachio, and tahini paste encased in milk chocolate. It’s almost too transfixing to eat.

Sweet Divas holds a special place in my heart, too. For my college graduation (go Tritons!), a gift of Sweet Divas’ delectable chocolate blueberries added a sweet touch to the milestone. I’m not sure I was supposed to enjoy the entire bag in one 5-minute serving, but that’s the power of good chocolate. The shop’s nostalgic charm instantly brings back warm memories for me.
