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.
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.

If you're in the mood for sweet crepes, this place might be worth a visit-but only if you're here strictly for dessert. The atmosphere is cool, & they specialize in sweet crepes & fondue, so naturally, we had to try a few. We ordered three crepes in total: the Nutella & Fruit Crepe, the Camp Fire, & the Ham It Up. The sweets were absolutely splendid - generous portions, rich flavor, & definitely enough for two people to share. The Nutella & Fruit crepe, in particular, was our favorite. Now, I knew savory dishes weren't their main thing, but I decided to give the Ham It Up a shot anyway, since I like having both sweet & savory during a meal. Big mistake. I can confidently say: don't order it. The presentation was off, the taste was terrible, & neither of us could eat more than a bite-it went straight to waste. Unfortunately, the service didn't help make the experience any better. The waitress only came over once to check if we had placed our order, & after that, we didn't see her again until the crepes were about to be served. She brought a bottle of water just before the food arrived, which felt a bit late. No one was around to ask questions or assist, & overall, the service felt inattentive. So, if you're just looking for a quick, tasty dessert, especially one of their sweet crepes, go ahead & give it a try. But don't expect much from the service, & I wouldn't recommend this place for a proper meal. Stick to dessert, enjoy the atmosphere, & you'll leave happy!
Great spot for a sweet treat. The Nutella crepes are the only thing you should be getting. They go heavy on the Nutella which is exactly what I'm looking fo
Incredible place with delightful vibes & very friendly staff! My Fiancé & I don't speak French very much at all, so there was a tiny bit of a language barrier, but our order came out well! You get a lot of yummy sweets for what you pay for & the place is honestly so nice to just sit around & enjoy the atmosphere of! We came at around 11 PM at night, so about an hour before closing, so there were no issues with wait time or anything. I'd definitely recommend coming at night if you're a night person, much more calm & cozy & a good late night snack if you're looking for one! It's a few minutes from the Place des Arts metro stop & worth the walk.

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!

Was looking for a dessert spot & definitely this is the one. Perfect late night cafe / dessert location. The dessert options are endless & customizable. Quality was excellent, & loved the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. The cafe options were also great, my cappuccino was delicious. Surprisingly they don't serve them on saucers with stir spoons? The service was okay. The gentleman was nice, but serving is not his element for sure. He never came to check on us after dropping off the plates. We only saw him when we got up to ask for the bill, at which point you have to pay at the cash, which is fine. A little hospitality goes a long way, especially in a restaurant setting.
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.
