Dubai’s dessert scene has officially found its latest obsession, and honestly, it was only a matter of time before the viral Dot Cake showed up here. If your TikTok algorithm has been aggressively feeding you aesthetic cakes covered in tiny colourful dots lately, this is that cake.
The Internet’s Favourite Dot Cake Is Now Available At This Dubai Matcha Spot
And now, Dubai residents can finally try it without staring at food videos emotionally from their beds at 1 AM. The viral Dot Cake is now available at 1990 Matcha in Dubai, a café already building a loyal following among the city’s growing matcha crowd.
Dubai’s Matcha Obsession Keeps Getting Bigger
Matcha cafés have quietly taken over Dubai over the past year. Everywhere you look, someone’s holding an iced green drink while pretending they suddenly enjoy “earthy notes”.
But 1990 Matcha has managed to stand out by leaning into more creative flavours and a slightly different identity compared to the usual minimalist café formula.
The café takes Japanese matcha culture and infuses it with Emirati-inspired flavours, serving up drinks like iced date matcha and gahwa matcha alongside traditional matcha options.
And now they’ve added the Dot Cake into the mix, which honestly feels perfectly designed for Dubai’s social media food culture.
Too Pretty To Eat Type Of Cake
The Dot Cake itself is exactly the kind of dessert the internet loves immediately.
Soft cream layers, colourful dotted decoration and extremely photogenic presentation. People are not buying this quietly and leaving.
Also, the café has already started pairing the cake with drinks like Spanish lattes, Americanos, and their signature matcha combinations.
Which means people will absolutely convince themselves it’s acceptable to order both cake and matcha “for balance”.

1990 Matcha Has Become A Quiet Favourite In Dubai
Located in Jumeirah 3 on Al Athar Street, 1990 Matcha has slowly become one of those cafés that Dubai residents casually gatekeep until somebody posts it online and ruins the secret.
The café’s name itself references the year Sheikh Zayed first visited Japan, tying into the café’s Japanese-Emirati inspiration.
For many people, the appeal is that it doesn’t feel overly corporate or staged. You go for matcha, end up staying longer than planned, and somehow leave with dessert photos covering your camera roll.
And realistically, the Dot Cake was always going to fit perfectly into that atmosphere.
