We came by this place on a walk through the city of Gouda. It's a nice mix of tea and coffee room…read moreand sandwich shop where you can sample their wide range of teas and coffees and have a panini, soup or brownie. They also have chocolates and beer. The owner told us it started out as a Web shop and since they experienced a rapid growth they opened this place. The selections they have are impressive. Prices are very reasonable. We paid €1,- for a cup of tea is and €3,- for a panini with your choice of toppings. The atmosphere is nice. There is much to look at. The service is nice and very friendly. We took some Lady Grey tea with us as we had tasted and liked it; price was €2,25 for a small bag of 50 grams.

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!

I've tried chocolate in every country in Europe and many places around the world. This shop produces a superior product in richness of flavor, mouth feel, and creativity of expression.

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!

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.
