Dubai chocolate has taken the internet by a storm and local Baton Rouge dessert shop Bonjour has jumped on the trend, adding its own twist.

Bonjour is a dessert shop, located at 5727 Essen Lane, known all over social media for its Dubai chocolate crepe. Along with the crepe, the restaurant also sells Dubai chocolate covered strawberries and a variety of other treats.

Dubai chocolate first began trending online in December 2023 when a TikTok video of the treat went viral. The original chocolate bar was created by a Dubai chocolate shop called Fix Dessert Chocolatier, and the bar feature a rich milk chocolate shell filled with a pistachio cream filling and tahini.

On a cloudy day, I wasn’t expecting much of a crowd at the local dessert shop; however, to my surprise, the shop was lively and buzzing with business, proving that Bonjour has a very loyal following online. The parking lot was mostly full and there was already a line at the register once I headed inside. Most of the shop’s customers were also dying to get their hands on the Dubai chocolate crepe.

The decor of the shop was very impressive, with an aesthetic ambience that felt cozy and stylish with emerald green walls, velvet seats and neon signs. The walls were embellished with flowers and golden frames, giving off a modern and chic charm to the shop. The inside of Bonjour was aesthetically pleasing and definitely Instagram worthy.

After about five minutes in line, I placed my order and was handed a beeper to hold until my order was ready. After a 25 minute wait, I finally had gotten my hands on the viral treat.

The Dubai chocolate crepe was stuffed with pistachio cream and kataifi (a crunchy, shredded pastry). On top of the crepe, there was drizzled milk chocolate, pistachio cream, kataifi and pistachio crumbles. From the first bite, I instantly loved the taste of the crepe and the presentation was perfect, but there was one flaw: it was cold.

While the flavors were still enjoyable, I was a little disappointed that my food wasn’t hot and fresh. I did enjoy the crepe, but at $16.99 plus tax, it definitely was one of the pricier items on the shop’s menu.

Bonjour is definitely worth a visit if you’re a fan of cute, trendy and Instagrammable dessert spots. Hopefully the next time I decide to stop by, there will be a shorter wait time and some warmer food. Bonjour is open Sunday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
