Chef Czarina’s Vision: A Filipino Brand with a Global Heart
One of the highlights of the day was an inspiring speech delivered by Chef Czarina, the master behind Avocadoria. With passion in her voice and pride in her heart, she spoke about the brand’s humble beginnings in the Philippines, its mission to provide delicious yet nutritious avocado-based desserts, and her dream to bring this concept to the global stage.
“We just started with just two cups of sales.” Chef Czarina shared with the crowd. “From those two cups, we grew to more than 247 branches across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao – in Singapore, and now in Dubai!”
Her speech resonated with many in the audience, especially the Filipinos, who felt a strong sense of pride seeing a homegrown brand make waves internationally.
Opening Day Surprises that Delighted the Crowd
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by Chef Czarina, Mr. Deen Sadique, and Hon. Marford M. Angeles—marking the official opening of the Dubai branch to loud cheers and enthusiastic applause.
Avocadoria is known for giving back to its loyal fans, and the opening day promo did not disappoint. The first 50 customers were treated to a FREE Avocado Lover, one of the brand’s signature creamy dessert cups filled with layers of fresh avocado, roasted almonds and mixed seeds. Not just that, the first 100 buyers received a free Naked Avocado Ice Cream — perfect for the Dubai heat.
Love from the Philippines, Ready for the World
Avocadoria, the number one avocado dessert in the Philippines, is now bringing its signature flavors to the world stage—started and expanding with Dubai.
For the large Filipino community in the UAE, its arrival is more than just the opening of another dessert shop—it’s a comforting taste of home, a celebration of Filipino innovation, and a symbol of supporting the local farmers.
Rooted in its heritage but firmly focused on the future, Avocadoria expands its UAE from its prior collaboration with TapaKing into its standalone debut at the iconic Al Ghurair Centre. By staying true to its Filipino roots while embracing international tastes, Avocadoria is poised to show the world just how far a Filipino homegrown favorite can go.
