Dessert in Little Arabia

Choco Fruit is right on Brookhurst Street, inside Little Arabia. The name belongs to the stretch of Brookhurst between Broadway and Ball Road, which the Anaheim City Council officially designated as Little Arabia in August 2022. Long before the signs went up, this part of the street had grown, from the 1990s on, into a hub of Arab-American restaurants, cafés, bakeries and markets. Our shop at 638 S Brookhurst St sits in the middle of that stretch.

Many evenings in the district follow the same pattern: dinner first, then something sweet. That second stop is what we are here for. Our team makes every order at live stations in front of you, with fresh-cut fruit and a choice of Belgian chocolate, Nutella or Lotus on most crêpes, waffles and pancakes. Levantine families will know the fruit cocktails on our menu.

The Lebanese Fruit Cocktail ($13.99) layers mixed fresh fruit chunks in a fruit smoothie, finished with whipped cream, condensed milk and honey. The Syrian Fruit Cocktail ($13.99) uses a strawberry milkshake instead, and the Syrian Nutella Fruit Cocktail ($14.

99) swaps in a Nutella milkshake. Dubai Cups ($15.99 medium, $16.99 large) bring pistachio and kunafa together with strawberries and your pick of Nutella or Belgian chocolate.

For a table to share after a long meal, the Sushi Crepe ($13.99) comes as eight rolled pieces of banana and strawberry or banana and brownies, topped with chocolate. We open at 3 PM on weekdays, noon on Saturday and 11 AM on Sunday, and stay open until 11:30 PM every night, so a late dinner on Brookhurst still has a dessert stop after it. Guests often mention the roomy inside seating and the large parking lot, which helps on busy weekend nights in the district.

Walking over after dinner elsewhere on the street is an easy option. If you would rather take dessert home to family, the same menu is available for pickup or delivery through chocofruitgroup.com/order/.
