Discover the Magic of Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha at Starbucks

Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha is the drink I did not know I was missing. If you’ve ever stood at the Starbucks counter trying to pick between something creamy, something chocolatey, or something green and energizing, this beauty ends the debate. It’s cool, it’s rich, and it has that slightly earthy kick that makes matcha so satisfying. I tried it on a busy afternoon, and it honestly felt like a mini vacation in a cup. If you’re curious whether it’s sweet, balanced, or just hype, I’ve got you. Let’s talk price, taste, and how to order it like a pro.

Price and availability

Good news if you’re hunting this down: the Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha is available at many Starbucks stores where the Dubai line has rolled out. Availability can vary by city and country, so check your local app and search the cold drinks tab. In my experience, it’s easy to find in bigger metro areas and travel hubs. If you don’t see it, ask your barista. They might be able to customize a close version with matcha, chocolate sauce, and your milk of choice.

Where to order and what to expect

Expect the usual Starbucks sizes and a price range similar to specialty iced lattes. Prices change by region, but here’s a simple guideline that fits most locations. If you’re in a spot with higher costs, bump each estimate a bit. Also, if you want to stretch your budget, try a Tall with extra ice and ask for light chocolate instead of full pumps.

• Tall: Usually the most wallet friendly. A solid intro size if you’re testing flavors for the first time.
• Grande: The sweet spot for most of us. Enough ice, enough chocolate, and a satisfying matcha finish.
• Venti: Ideal if you like to sip slowly or share a few tastes with a friend.

Orders with non dairy milk or extra toppings can add a small fee. If you love trying new iced coffee ideas, you might also enjoy my take on a chocolate forward classic with cold foam. It’s a tasty cousin to this drink and such a treat on a hot day: chocolate cold brew with cold foam.

Nutritional information

Let’s keep it real. A drink that mixes matcha and chocolate is going to be tasty and a bit indulgent. The exact numbers depend on size, milk, and how many pumps of sauce you ask for. I usually start with the standard build, then tweak sugar and milk type to make it fit my day.

What’s in the cup and how to lighten it

Matcha gives you a gentle lift, while milk adds creaminess. Chocolate brings cozy sweetness. If you’re watching sugar, you can ask for fewer pumps of chocolate sauce or try a lighter drizzle. If dairy isn’t your thing, swap in almond, oat, or coconut milk. Oat gives the creamiest result. Almond is lighter. Coconut brings a hint of tropical flavor that plays well with cocoa.

• Calories: Varies by size and milk. Expect a range similar to an iced latte with chocolate. Fewer pumps and lighter milk reduce it fast.
• Sugar: Comparable to a mocha style drink. Ask for half syrup or light sauce to dial it in.
• Caffeine: Matcha offers a steady, calm buzz. If you’re sensitive, choose a smaller size. It’s a smoother feel than espresso for many people.
• Allergies: Always check labels and ask your store about cross contact if you have concerns.

Want a cozy way to sip matcha at home between cafe runs? This creamy at home latte is a reader favorite and easy to customize: deliciously creamy matcha collagen latte. It leans comforting without getting fussy.

Pro tip: If you love foam, ask for a splash of cold foam on top. It makes each sip velvety and helps the chocolate and matcha blend with every taste.

Taste test: Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha

If you’re firmly team coffee, the Iced Dubai Chocolate Mocha is like an old friend wearing a new outfit. It is bold and chocolate heavy, with espresso leading from the first sip. Compared to the matcha version, it hits harder and sweeter up front, then finishes with that familiar mocha comfort. The texture is smooth, and the chocolate seems richer than a standard mocha, almost like it got an upgrade.

Who will love it and what to pair

You’ll love this if you want a stronger coffee flavor and a dessert like vibe over ice. It pairs ridiculously well with something crunchy and a touch salty. I ate it with a peanut butter granola bar and it was perfect. If you like seasonal mochas or warming spices, try this cozy sip too: gingerbread spiced mocha. It is a different mood, still hits the chocolate note, and balances sweetness with spice in a satisfying way.

One more pairing idea for when the craving for sweet and crunch hits: stack the mocha with a small treat and grab a seat by the window. It turns a quick break into a mini moment. If you need a snack idea for later, save these colorful cookies for a weekend bake: chocolate cake cookies with M&M’s.

Taste test: Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha

Now the star. This one surprised me. The first sip brings cool ice and cream, then chocolate slips in, and finally matcha’s calm, slightly grassy flavor lands gently. It is balanced and interesting, not too sweet and not too bitter. The chocolate adds a silky finish without hiding the matcha. It feels like an iced treat that you can still enjoy mid afternoon without crashing.

Flavor, texture, and drinking experience

The texture is creamy enough to feel special, but still light. I love it with oat milk for the velvety vibe. Almond milk makes it cleaner and brighter. If sweetness is a concern, ask for fewer chocolate pumps or light sauce. You still get the chocolate aroma and flavor, just toned down. A drizzle of cold foam makes it café pretty and doubles the smoothness. If you want to try an easy cold foam at home for your own iced creations, you might like this simple guide: creamy coconut cold foam iced coffee.

My friend Nina took a sip and said, I’m not a matcha person, but this is like a cool chocolate cloud with a green tea whisper. Then she took the cup and did not give it back for a full minute. That says a lot.

Bottom line: If you’re on the fence about matcha, this is a gentle and fun entry point. If you already love matcha, it gives you chocolate richness without drowning out the green tea character. I found myself taking slow sips just to make it last.

Final thoughts

Here’s my take after a few rounds: the Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha is a keeper. It is balanced, refreshing, and just playful enough to feel special without being over the top. If you are a coffee person first, try the mocha sibling once, then bounce to the matcha on your next visit for something softer. Keep your order flexible so you can adjust sweetness and milk based on your mood. And for days when you want a sweet companion, those chocolate cake cookies with M&M’s make a great partner in crime.

Common Questions

Oat milk gives the creamiest finish. Almond is lighter and cleaner. Whole milk is classic if you want maximum body.

How much caffeine is in it?
It uses matcha, so the buzz is smoother than espresso. Choose a smaller size if you’re sensitive.

Can I make a version at home?
Yes. Blend matcha with milk and ice, add a little chocolate syrup, and finish with cold foam. For chocolatey toppings at home, try this easy treat: chocolate whipped cream.
