Bake the Cookie Shoppe has recently taken social media by storm with the release of their viral Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberry cups
The Las Vegas-based Award-Winning cookie shop offers classic cookie flavors like chocolate chip, along with unique flavors like Ube Crinkle and Oreo Milkshake. Bake only has one location and it is in Las Vegas: 6430 S Decatur Blvd.
In early2024, Dubai Chocolate Bars took over the internet. Recently, the trend has reached name brand companies like Dunkin Donuts and Kristy Crème. Bake followed in similar footsteps.
Taking a unique twist, Bake Released their Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberry cup a few weeks ago. For $19, the cup includes strawberries coated with milk chocolate, pistachio crème, and kunafa, a crispy Middle Eastern pastry filling. TikTok quickly caught onto the new release and since then, reviews on Bake have been posted all over the internet.
Despite the cost, Elena Locatelli ‘25 states that “it’s worth the price” simply for the experience of trying the cup once. Ava Smith ‘25 agrees: “It’s a really good experience to have something so unique and delicious.”
The environment of Bake also sets the shop apart from other stores. “The owner of the shop and the employees are really kind and nice and create an atmosphere that’s really welcoming” Locatelli said.
I recently visited the shop and tried the viral strawberries. The line was long, but service was quick. It took no longer than 15 minutes to order and pick up the strawberries.
As for taste, the strawberries are well worth the hype. The rich chocolate mixed with the pistachio crème and the crunchy kunafa pairs nicely with the strawberries. My one complaint is the cups are overpriced. $19 is excessive for a cup of chocolate covered strawberries, but to make a user’s TikTok dreams a reality, plenty were willing to pay the price, myself included.
Overall, if you are in Las Vegas and have some time to spare, Bake the Cookie Shoppe is definitely worth stopping by.
