Starbucks x Dodo Dubai Chocolate: A match made in flavour heaven
A match made in flavour heaven… Exclusively at select Starbucks South Africa stores, Dodo Dubai Chocolate drop for a Limited Time Brand Spark Moment, on 22 November at 09h00.
It’s beginning to look a lot more like the Festive Season at Starbucks in Starbucks South Africa, and an exciting moment for coffee and chocolate lovers who can now enjoy one of the world’s most talked about chocolates alongside their favorite handcrafted Starbucks beverage, as the TikTok phenomenon Dodo Dubai Chocolate arrives at select local Starbucks stores across the country for one day only. Limited stock is available for the day.
The range has inspired over eighty thousand viral TikTok videos and hundreds of millions of views, earning global attention for its creative flavours and playful dessert culture. Brought to South Africa by The Clout Group, the activation gives guests an exclusive once off opportunity to join in on the chocolate trend. The collaboration has grown through global curiosity and social sharing, creating a memorable brand moment that aligns with the global excitement around the range.
With the limited stock we were able to secure, customers must ensure that they are in line as early as possible, to avoid missing out on the 9am drop. Participating stores are:
- 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,
- V and A Waterfront and Canal Walk in Cape Town,
- Preller Square in Bloemfontein, and
- Ilanga Mall in Nelspruit.
The Dodo Dubai flavors include Milk Chocolate Pistachio Kunafa, Strawberry Cheesecake Fantasy and White Chocolate Cookie Butter Bliss. Customers who purchase a Grande beverage of their choice, as well as one of these limited time chocolates, will get R10 off of their beverage and Rewards members earn double stars. In addition, we will also have spot prizes and sampling of our Seasonal Beverages on the morning of the launch.
Gareth Brough, Co-Founder of The Clout Group, says:
“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. We are excited for South Africans to take part in this global curiosity and enjoy the experience in store in a way that feels personal and accessible.”
Adrian Maizey, CEO of Rand Capital Coffee (Pty) Ltd, Licensee of Starbucks South Africa, says:
“Starbucks is one of the most incredible global brands and we are a small local team with the privilege of being part of it. South Africans have a rich cultural spirit and a strong sense of identity, so our work is to honour that while bringing global experiences that feel meaningful to our customers’ daily lives. Being locally relevant and globally connected guides everything we do, and Rand is very proud of what we have accomplished since 2019. We want to spoil our guests with unique moments like this where possible.”
