Experience the exclusive Dodo Dubai Chocolate at Starbucks South Africa

This year Starbucks South Africa is set to elevate the holiday spirit with a mouth-watering treat that combines the best of both worlds: coffee and chocolate. Select Starbucks locations across the country will host an exclusive one-day event featuring the viral sensation known as Dodo Dubai Chocolate.

For chocolate aficionados and coffee lovers alike, this is an unparalleled opportunity to indulge in some of the world’s most talked-about and flavourful chocolates. With over eighty thousand viral TikTok videos to its name, Dodo Dubai has taken the social media platform by storm, capturing the attention of millions with its inventive flavours and whimsical dessert culture. The collaboration, brought to South Africa by The Clout Group, marks a significant brand moment that embodies the global excitement surrounding this unique chocolate range.

Among the popular offerings, customers will find delightful flavours such as Milk Chocolate Pistachio Kunafa, Strawberry Cheesecake Fantasy, and White Chocolate Cookie Butter Bliss. Each creation promises to be a sumptuous pairing with a handcrafted Starbucks beverage. To sweeten the deal, anyone purchasing a Grande drink alongside one of these exclusive chocolates will enjoy a R10 discount on their beverage, and Starbucks Rewards members will earn double stars during the event.

Gareth Brough, Co-Founder of The Clout Group, expressed his enthusiasm for this collaboration, stating, “This is a simple and enjoyable moment for guests. Coffee goes hand in hand with this decadent dessert chocolate, and offering something special for one day gives people a fun and memorable addition to their Starbucks visit.” 

Adrian Maizey, CEO of Rand Capital Coffee (Pty) Ltd, the licensee of Starbucks South Africa, echoed this sentiment: “Being locally relevant and globally connected guides everything we do. We want to spoil our guests with unique moments like this wherever possible.” He acknowledged the deep-rooted cultural spirit of South Africans, aiming to honour that heritage through meaningful international collaborations.

The limited stock availability means that eager customers are encouraged to arrive early to avoid disappointment. Participating stores include the Mall of Africa, Sandton City, Fourways Mall, and Bassonia in Johannesburg; Menlyn Park in Pretoria; Gateway Theatre of Shopping and Lillies Quarter in KwaZulu Natal; and the V&A Waterfront and Canal Walk in Cape Town, among others.
