Overall, reviews for Cacao 70 mix high marks for rich chocolate drinks, generous portions, and a tempting dessert menu with many noting the classic dark hot chocolate and Belgian chocolate as standouts, and brunch options described as appealing; service is often praised as friendly and welcoming, making it a good spot for casual meetups and families. On the downside, several experiences mention a loud or bar like ambiance and inconsistent cleanliness, with reports of sticky tables, noisy music, and occasional mess in the dining area, as well as long waits for food or unclear service at peak times. Menu value can feel hit or miss, with some dishes and prices deemed reasonable and others seen as expensive for the portion size, and a few reviews cite uneven quality across items or a disappointing sweet option. Still, many would return for the chocolate focused concept and desserts, while others advise timing and expectations to manage the experience.
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.
All of the hot items we ordered were cold, took extremely long & it wasn't even that busy. Service is slow. Order came out wrong. The bread on my plate was stale & hard as rocks. The'hot chocolate' was cold so I wouldn't even bother going here
if you are craving something sweet, you will definitely want to consider this place. the hot chocolate was really good, & the fondue was decent. i tried the dark & milk chocolate mix, & it was alright but i probably wouldn't order it again. the service was a bit slow but they were wrapping up a birthday party so that could've been a factor. i would return, but maybe just for the hot cocoa next time.
I had the best, most decadent hot chocolate I've ever had. It was rich & creamy without being too thick (that said I am very glad I took lactaid lol). The chocolate drizzle was also really good.

Very cute & aesthetic cafe with many options. The hot chocolate is thick & flavorful, & the service is excellent. Would recommend the layered chocolate dessert with tiramisu.
The waitress didnt know the menu & her communication skills were poor. The strawberries in the crepe with chocolate were not fresh at all, mushy, light pink & extremely thinly sliced. When I complained to the waitress, she said its because they were frozen, which was not true after I spoke to the manager (who was not found for about 5 minutes).
It is a beautiful, relaxing space. The staff are very friendly & prompt. The food is delicious. Fresh strawberries, warm crepes, & smooth dark chocolate.

Ordered a classic hot chocolate. The wait time was about 10-minutes for the to go hot chocolate. Apparently there's dark chocolate & milk chocolate options. I ordered milk chocolate; it was too sweet for my taste & not thick enough.
Such a treat going here! The place was busy, but we were served quite quickly. We had a marshmallow sharing plate & fondue sharing plate that were perfect. A must stop if you're a chocolate lover with a major sweet tooth!

The downtown location was so much better. I came here with a friend & our experience was pretty subpar. The service is basically non-existent - when we arrived, the waitress pointed to a table instead of seating us. No water was offered & she disappeared so we waited at least 30 mins before someone else took our order. They got my friend's order wrong & the waiter almost seemed annoyed when we brought it up. My food was cold & boring, not even worth a picture. The only positive thing I can say is that their classic hot chocolate tastes amazing.
I was compelled to write this review from the first sip of the Biscoff Milkshake, even before the rest of the order arrived (unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the milkshake before I absolutely destroyed it). It was so flavourful that it literally tasted like someone liquidated Biscoff. I usually don't like milkshakes & I can confidently say that this is the first time in my entire life that I have enjoyed a milkshake. The reason I don't like milkshakes is because I don't like the aftertaste of milk, but somehow that flavour & its back-of-the-mouth profile works so well in this rendition. The thing I love the most is the fact that nothing here is TOO SWEET. The cheesecake topped with melted dark chocolate was fantastically astounding & the whipped cream had such a soft, airy, subtle texture & taste that it was like eating a cloud. TBH I'm glad I didn't discover this place earlier because I would be so fat from coming here so often.
I've been living abroad for 6 years. Cacao 70 use to be one of the great places to take a date. Now it looks cheap, & run down. Chocolate is great though, quality of fruits was fresh & serving of everything was adequate for price. Really the decor & location need a revamp
This place is amazing! The food is so creative. I love the cacao park hot chocolate, it's the best I've ever had. Their chocolate fondue dishes are also delicious. The workers here are so warm & friendly. Don't miss out on this great place.
Sloppy service. Ordered the classic crepe with fresh strawberries (costs extra $2) as side & hot chocolate for pick up. The strawberries were missing & the hot chocolate was cold. It's very disappointing how they can mess up such a simple order. They even refused to refund or offer any store credit.
