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.
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.
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.
Endroit super pour boire un excellent chocolat chaud & manger une bonne gaufre ou crêpes , seul petit point qui pourrait être amélioré c est la décoration de l'endroit a part ça je recommande fortement

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
