The Good Stuff
Coffee pods
Coffee-capsule shoppers get extensive choice, including flavours and brands reviewers struggled to find elsewhere.
Sweet selection
The store is especially strong on chocolates, candies and snacks, with enough variety to support bulk buying or gift shopping.
Gift-ready
One customer bought beautifully packaged chocolates for delivery abroad, and said the ordering and delivery process was seamless.
Weekend offers
Weekend promotions can make the large collection of sweets and coffee capsules noticeably better value.
Friendly staff

Tips for a Better Visit
Check dates. Check every expiry date, especially on discounted items and coffee pods; some products may be close to expiry.
Check receipt. Compare shelf labels with your receipt before leaving; one customer found a large difference after reaching the hotel.
Track offers. Ask which days have discounts, and consider weekend visits when looking for capsule or sweets savings.
Check stock. If you want a specific capsule or advertised product, check availability first or expect stock to change between visits.
Allow time. Allow extra time at checkout, since one review reports a very slow cashier and limited cashier availability.
Confirm opening. Confirm the shop is open before making a long drive; a customer found Google’s opening status inaccurate.

The Bottom Line
Arab Sweets in Al Quoz is worth considering if your shopping list leans toward imported chocolate, unusual snacks or coffee capsules. Customers describe a wide selection from around the world, including hard-to-find products, local items and a particularly deep range of coffee pods. It can work for everyday treats, bulk purchases and chocolates chosen as gifts.
The range is the main draw. Reviews mention Starbucks, Snickers and KitKat coffee flavours, Dolce Gusto pods, Korean and Chinese snacks, rare flavoured Coca-Cola drinks and mango ice cream. One customer bought 14kg of chocolate, coffee and tea to take abroad, while another praised the packaging and seamless delivery of chocolates to family overseas.
Prices are mixed rather than uniformly low. Discounts and weekend offers can be worthwhile, but some products cost more than at supermarkets or another branch. Shelf-to-till discrepancies have also been reported, so check the receipt before leaving.
Most importantly, inspect expiry dates: reviewers found items near expiry and one reported already-expired chocolates. Stock can change quickly, cashiers may be slow, and opening information has not always matched reality, so confirm availability and hours before a long trip.
