Oh my chocolate gods! The smell when you walk into the shop is divine!…read moreYou can definitely smell that the cocoa is processed from bean to end product in the back of the shop which you can see through the glass wall. Cacao has a reasonably small collection of products in my opinion but it seems to grow every time I come here, so that keeps me happy of course. I do feel that everything here is outrageously overpriced though so I really only ever come here to buy a special gift or have a SMALL serving of there hot chocolate. Really, just get the small one because this liquid heaven is heavy. So a quick note to the people I know, you must be really, extremely special to me if I bring you something from cacao!

Their chocolate taste so good, it will have you craving for another box. When I walk in here I always feel like I walked in my little chocolate heaven. If you are fan of high quality chocolate, then you will not be disappointed. I love browsing at their beautiful display of diverse chocolates, and contemplating on which one I will explore this time. It's also one of my favorite places to go when I am thinking of the perfect gift to give someone. Service is warm, friendly and professional. It's definitely a win all around.

The coffee guide on the walls are a great touch for selecting the right drink for you. Convenient location near local tourism spots, though it gets quite warm in the sit-down area around back thanks to the natural sunlight filtering in from the Passage. I appreciated that they bothered with latte art on a to-go beverage order, which is something that's frequently disregarded back in the States. I was more impressed by the dark chocolate pistachio bark than the assortment of specialty chocolates (subtlety varies widely between flavors), but the coffee certainly hit the spot. The complimentary choice of a chocolate accompanying drink orders is a nice touch. I had hoped for some pedestrian pastry options like a pain au chocolat, but I'd settle for trying their sinaasappel oranje patisserie next time, along with their gepofte paprikasoep, warme quiche, and da hong pao thee.

If you're as big of a chocolate fan as I am: GO HERE!…read more I have all the love for this place. It's cosy but still roomy enough. There's an entire corner dedicated to JUST. CHOCOLATE. So, they do this thing called hot chocolate. Not just any kind of hot chocolate, they've got, like I said before, an entire corner dedicated to this stuff. And they're the lovely hot chocolate spoons! There's the more simple stuff like milk or pure chocolate, but also chocolate-bourbon, chocolate with ginger, cookies and cream, Irish cream, and of course for the Dutchies: speculoos! My friend and I went here for a quick lunch meet up, so we didn't go into insanely special things, but I can definitely recommend trying one of their hot chocolates and one of their cakes. The reason I didn't 5 star: The staff just wasn't as helpful or friendly as you'd expect from a place like this. They seemed a tad impatient and uninterested. It's a minor thing though and it shouldn't keep you from visiting this place!

First of all, when walking in you are warmly greeted. I was waiting for a friend and so the women showed me the different seating areas to choose from. I love the variety! My favorite is the couch... It could be my living room... Filled with tea :) I mentioned the type of tea I typically enjoy and I was taking through the varieties they had that I might like. There's a wall of tea to explore! We got very educated on how it's premium and the different types. It's not just tea though... They have bites! Either low or no sugar treats that are delicious. I got the jam cookie. So perfect! The tea is the main event though, right? And it was so good. Mine had a taste of honey while my friend's was stronger. Just mention what you like and they will find something right for you. They can also add more water to the pot so you can get sometimes 3-5 pots from the one set of leaves! Also, you are served which I find lovely. I can't wait to go back and take my husband. It was so nice to escape the cold, hang out with a friend in a cosy shop, and have amazing tea.

On the lower ground floor, you'll find the dark yin space, including light teaware made of glass and porcelain. Upstairs you'll find the lighter yang space with dark tea pots on the floor. Add to all this the soft voices of the sweet owners who patiently tell you all about the origins of their loose tea leaves and you'll float to another world. To China where most of their tea comes from. Or to Taiwan where their fabulous Oriental Beauty Oolong Tea is born.
