Review from Vanessa M.

I visited Cacao 70 again tonight, and was again astonished by the quality/originality of their desserts!
This time, I ordered the triple chocolate pizza, and didn't regret my choice AT ALL.
Scrumptious sweet, indeed. I literally died inside!
My clothes might be slightly tighter tomorrow morning, but every single bite was worth it! :)
This place is a GEM! The ambiance is very laid-back (great music), and the service makes you want to come back to taste some more of their baked goods. Will be back for sure!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Went back to Cacao 70 this past weekend and was really hoping that they made the leap to homemade marshmallows. Sadly, not :( I was particularly disappointed for two reasons, one because they told me the first time I visited that they were going to be switching to homemade, and second because they were making a big deal about their s'mores.
I still like the place, don't get me wrong, but I really think that marshmallows are just too easy to not make from scratch, especially for s'mores.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I am not a huge fan of chocolate but the place really gives you the choice. You can have a cup of single origin hot chocolate and it's fantastic. Deserts are amazing, waffles and crepes but too much of a chocolate at the same time. If u come to try every bit of something each time you come it's definitely worth it. Nice location
and place is very coz inside. As you can read I do not have a sweet tooth but for a chocoholic it's a place to go. -

Updated with our second Visit (4 days later - Read First Visit below if you haven't done so already)
Second Visit
This visit we ordered a whole bunch of things:
- Raspberry Brownie Parfait (again, but the first time was better as it came with chocolate cream)
- Quadruple Chocolate Parfait
- Triple Chocolate Pizza
- Chocolate Nutella Ricotta Pizza
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Pizza
- Waffle with Ice Cream, Fruits and Chocolate
- Raspberry Crepes with Chocolate
Yes, it was insane. The Pizzas were good but we ordered way too many and after a while you can only take so much. One slice per person is enough and I suggest getting something that isn't ONLY chocolate otherwise you go crazy (i.e. Quadruple Chocolate Parfait was good but near the end...). The waffle didn't taste like a waffle, it tasted like a sponge cake that was put into a waffle machine and I actually liked it better this way. As for crepes, it was good but a bit too soggy (too much jam on whatever the liquid was) for my taste. There are pics on my blog!
First Visit
After our visit to Kazu, which if you read about can tell that I was still super hungry (Satya actually cooked up a supper when we came back right after going to Kazu and Cacao 70!) we decided to try out the now chocolate place, Cacao70. I think it was a Presse Café before and the transformation into a chocolate bar was a good one. The place is aesthetically pleasing, well lit and makes you crave chocolate in every way. I am a huge chocolate lover and used to pound down tons of chocolate as a kid.
We started off with some samples of hot chocolate. Despite the varying degrees of sweetness, I must say that the texture and taste of all the types were amazing.
The Raspberry brownie parfait was great. The whipped cream was chocolatey and the ice cream went down really well with the brownies and raspberries. The triple chocolate cake was ok but the cake seemed to be more of a marble pound cake than a chocolate one. I haven't tried the chocolate pizza yet but it seems to look yummy. Maybe the next time I go. -

We stopped here for dessert to take to-go. Being a chocoholic, I found it very hard to decide on what to order because everything sounded appealing. The server was so helpful and strongly recommended the chocolate cake. I am SO glad he did. (Do NOT be deceived, this is not your average chocolate cake!) It came in a cup (maybe bc we ordered it to-go), and it took all our strength to wait till we got to our hotel to eat it. It was HEAVENLY! Layers of mousse, cake, dark chocolate syrup (that was CREAMY), and other things I couldn't quite identify. The texture came together and just melted in your mouth, though the distinct flavors truly spoke for itself. How can something taste so light and yet so rich?! I couldn't stop thinking about that dessert for the rest of the day. A bit steep on the wallet for a cup of cake ($11ish after tax), but boy, it was definitely worth it! Would not recommend sharing! Preserve your relationship and buy your own! ;)

Really cute place to have a hot chocolate.
When we first walked in we were promptly greeted and seated with the menus. Atmosphere is quite nice; woody chalet feel with good lighting which is ideal for someone who wants to study.
Shortly after sitting down, a waiter came over with a cute bottle of water and two little cups filled with both the dark and milk chocolate bases for the hot cocoa. Nice complementary touch to help you decide what you want to drink and eat.
I had the lactee superieure hot chocolate with the milk cocoa base. It comes in two parts.... 1) you have a high ball glass with the bottom filled with your choice of chocolate 2) a cute metal measuring cup with the base of your choosing. You have a spoon to mix it and voila!!!! heaven in a glass. My choice of chocolate was really good..... it smooth and velvety. Drank it with no problem :)
My friend had the Milk frozen hot cocoa. She drank it all and really liked it. I didn't have a taste so i can't explain it in great detail. But she seemed to enjoy it considering it was gone within 5 min. :)
Prices are on the steeper side..... 10.50$ with tax for my drink, not including tip. It is to be expected considering it is premium chocolate.
Too bad we had just came from the noodle factory or i would have had something to eat.
Next up at cocoa 70......... The amazing pizzas or maybe a waffle?!?!?! stay tuned for my review :)
