Starbucks Dubai and Here-O Create Pistachio Donuts
Starbucks Dubar has worked together with the donut brand Here-O to create the Dubai Donut, which was inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate bar. The pastry nods to the treat with a milk chocolate dip and a sourdough base filled with kunafa inside.
Kunafa is a beloved dessert from the Middle East which is made from shredded phyllo dough and pistachio. The dessert offers a textural experience and it is even complete with splashes of green and yellow tones as a nod to the colors connected to the premium treat. Those who are looking to try the donut can enjoy it at Starbucks outlets in Dubai including the Dubai Design District and Dubai Festival City Mall.
