**Wow! Wow! Wow!**
I traveled from East LA all the way to Rancho Cucamonga because I heard that SEA OF SWEETS not only carries but HOUSE-MAKES the infamous VIRAL DUBAI CHOCOLATE BAR!
Upon arriving, I wasn't exactly sure where the location was, but I quickly figured it out when I saw a line formed out front. I parked quickly and hopped in line. The line wasn't too long, but there was also a wait inside the establishment. I caught them on a busy day.
SEA OF SWEETS is officially the sweetest and friendliest family-owned business I've experienced to date! I always appreciate supporting local businesses. Mom, dad, sister, and brother were all hard at work--kudos to them, and keep up the amazing work!
While my eyes were already set on the chocolate bar, I noticed SOS has a ton of other tasty items, from pastries to smoothies and even café drinks!
[MY ORDER]
- 1 DUBAI PISTACHIO CHOCOLATE BAR
Comments: This is by far the best bar in SoCal! The chocolate is perfectly tempered and just a little more than mildly sweet. The bar has a heavenly snap when broken, yet the chocolate itself is lush and creamy. It has the perfect thickness and texture. The filling, THE STAR OF THE SHOW, captured my heart and taste buds. It was buttery, crispy, and crunchy, as well as perfectly sweet. I appreciate that the bar wasn't too sweet overall, which I was concerned about.
I'm usually a 'snap a square or two after dinner and finish the bar in a week and a half' type of person. Never have I ever had the urge to completely devour a whole chocolate bar in one sitting--until now!
I didn't write this review as quickly as I should have, but since my first visit, I've already returned once. I've also tried this chocolate bar at two other places--one in SoCal and one in Portland, Oregon. Either there wasn't enough kanafeh in the filling or the chocolate was too thick.
SEA OF SWEETS is THEE PLACE to try the INFAMOUS DUBAI CHOCOLATE BAR!
Thank me later, and thank you, SEA OF SWEETS!
