In A Nutshell: -Ah…read moreCacao is a really cool spot to check out if you are into chocolate, especially pure cacao. -They also sell coffee too. -The main thing here is cacao, which if you have any clue, it's used in ancient Mayan ceremonies. -If you ingest 40grams of it, you'll experience some great vibes as it tickles your cardiovascular system. -If you do yoga, sound baths & the other related health & wellness activities, you might've come across a mini-cacao ceremony. -I like that they sell a wide-variety of cacao ranging from 100% pure to various mixed options w/ less cacao. Overall, I highly recommend their hot cacao drink w/ soy milk.
