Overall, reviews of Cacao 70 depict a dessert‑focused spot where chocolatey treats are described as rich and delicious and hot chocolate and crepes receive strong praise, while brunch and savory options spark mixed feelings. Service is noted as friendly and attentive in some visits and slow or inconsistent in others, with some guests feeling unwelcome or facing long waits. The ambiance ranges from pleasant and cozy to loud and busy, with music volume and crowded seating sometimes detracting from the experience. Cleanliness and organization are variable as well, including reports of dirty tables, delays in seating or ordering, and gaps in service when QR ordering is used. Prices and portion sizes divide opinion, with some finding portions generous and others deeming items pricey for what is offered. Despite these fluctuations, Cacao 70 remains a go‑to for dessert lovers and sweet cravings, with standout experiences and hopes for steadier service and better space management on future visits.
Catastrophe, il n'y avait pas de brunch, les crêpes salés était des crêpes à la vanille, le soit disant fromage suisse, c'est de la préparation de ftomage kraft, 2 comamandes en retard ... bref catastrophe
I hate leaving reviews like these & I'd like to come back, only if reviews are taken seriously & into consideration.
* The place was clean & neat
* The restaurant wasn't full, there was one table with 3 or 4 adults & a couple of kids.
* We were a family of 8 who came for brunch on a Friday.
* I tried calling the restaurant a few times before arriving to ask about their menu & brunch. No one picked up the phone.
* we arrive & we are told, they don't swerve brunch on weekdays. Big disappointment for us.
* we decided to stay & give it a try. We all ordered crepes (sweet & savory), & waffles.
* waffle batter is wet / mushy & not well cooked. Strange texture, it's anything but a waffle.
* the savory crepes (Mediterranean) were just ok.
Some tuna, harissa & we could barely see , eat or feel the eggs. The big disappointment was to eat tuna harissa in a Vanilla crepe ?? They use the SAME crepe batter which has VANILLA in all sweets & savory crepes❗?❗?
* the very small salad served with crepes was blend & it has this very weired red'dressing' which was blend & strange.
* our coffee arrived cold ❗?
* Some of the ordered coffees were forgotten & arrived so late❗?
* The service was extremely slow ❗?
* only one server was working & she was confused & overwhelmed & slow.
* our order didnt arrive on time, & didnt arrive all together. Half of us were done eating while the other half were still waiting.
* the server made a mistake & didn't bring us one dish / crepe. At this point we had all eaten except for one person.
When we told her she didn't bring the missing crepe, she didn't believe us & she had to ask twice & we had to repeat ourselves.
* our table didnt have enough cups & utensils. We had to request extras & use the ones from next table.
* other tables who came after us were served before us.
* another table came in & started chosing from the menu. They waited around 15 minutes, only to be told afterwards that no brunch is served. The couple decided to leave.
Over all, the food was just ok, nothing special. Service wasn't ok & it was very slow. We don't blame the waiter but we hope the management team will bring the necessary changes for clients to return & to increase the number of staff.

Honestly a great place for people with a sweet tooth. I came here with my sister for their hot chocolate, because u obviously must, & i got their classic dark hot chocolate & last minute, their classic crêpes (They were very generous with the dark chcoolate syrup in my hot chocolate🤭). Note, they offer brunch specials with a varitety of options for more than 50$ that i wasnt able to find on their website at first. Lastly, service was great, the waiter was very very kind.
Desserts & boissons impeccables, rien à redire. 💯 Mais l'ambiance est bruyante, avec une musique de bar qui ne correspond pas vraiment à un café-resto. Il y avait du soccer à la TV & on se croyait à la cage aux sports. Les clients étaient éparpillés partout & ont fait beaucoup de dégâts en laissant plein de déchets à terre. (Évidemment ce n'était pas la faute de l'établissement.)
Cacao70 était mon lieu favoris auparavant pour son choix de dessert varié & sa formule « café-bistro ». C'était parfait pour un brunch tranquille ou pour un café entre deux meetings. Je pensais retrouver la même ambiance. Peut-être était-ce une mauvaise journée ou un mauvais timing. Le concept sucré-salé reste toutefois intéressant. 🙂
Brunch parfait service aussi sauf que le Tips c est au client qui décide le montant ce n est pas le serveur c est la seul point qui m à déranger avant de quitte
Je suis allé à plusieurs reprises dans cet établissement &, jusque-là, c'était correct. Mais notre premier brunch a été une vraie catastrophe. Nous avions choisi le brunch « Royal », & rien - absolument rien - n'avait de royal. La moitié des ingrédients semblaient recyclés d'autres assiettes ou tout simplement périmés. Les viennoiseries étaient froides, & le saumon avait clairement passé plusieurs jours au frigo.
Payer 80 $ pour ça est tout simplement inacceptable. Même quand je l'ai signalé, personne n'a semblé s'en soucier - &, honnêtement, ils avaient l'air parfaitement conscients de ce qu'ils servaient.
Déception totale.
Le seul point positif : le personnel restait malgré tout accueillant.
I came here for brunch with friends. The prices are quite pricey, even additional add ons (one of us ordered bacon for four dollars & there was barely any bacon in her wrap). Parking in the street you have to pay! However, filling enough portions, & the drinks are MASSIVE. I loved my veggie wrap, warm & had the perfect amount of everything. You order individually on your phone, & you can pay already! They did not offer hot water yet they offered tea. Overall pricey, but nice to visit here & there for a treat!
Excellente nourriture ! Très bon rapport qualité prix Plateaux du brunch très fournis! Les serveurs étaient très gentils, avenants & souriants ! Je reviendrais tester leurs plats tunisiens qui avaient l'air incroyables

Délicieux brunch tunisien. Ambiance chaleureuse & beau décor lumineux. Le staff était souriant & serviable. Parfait endroit pour manger entre amis, couple ou famille. J'y retournerai c'est certain.
J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de faire un brunch chez Cacao 70, Les plats étaient délicieux, chaque bouchée un vrai plaisir . Le restaurant est également d'une propreté irréprochable, ce qui est toujours un plus. De plus, l'équipe était incroyablement serviable & accueillante, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable. C'est sûr, je reviendrai pour une autre visite !

Le brunch offert est très bon & la quantité est généreuse. L'accueil est vraiment à surveiller & le service est très long, beaucoup d'attente inacceptable !!
Extremely Bad service as 2 servers weren't able to manage a big brunch crowd.. nobody to take orders, all tables & chairs/sofa were extremely dirty & oil stained. Ambience was like a Fish Market - Loud & Dirty. My Kid especially dragged me to Cacao 70 for chocolat but was bitterly disappointed with the entire experience even though the food was good
