Cacao

Wonderful addition to the South End which forces (obviously?) on chocolate of all kinds.... Bars, pastries, cookies and hot, cold and frozen chocolate drinks.Also of course tea and coffee.Cozy space with a laid back vibe and friendly staff. Black and white tile floor and homey touches abound I had a frozen chocolate white was not to sweet and a really good chocolate and raspberry cookie warmed up Pleasant music playing and just lively enough with it being loud.

What a wonderful shop! First glance overwhelming with opportunity which is a great place to be. Unhurried you are able to admire the display of baked goodies and magic truffles while reading ingredients, asking questions, and considering options. The team is so friendly and atmosphere business casual kind of chill. Definitely could be a fun remote work spot or nice for a date, though the seating is more open space and economical vs cozy. I still love it! I tested 4 dairy free, gluten free truffles including passion fruit, espresso, ganache, and pure chocolate. The flavors were distinct, textures cohesive and complimentary and each felt like they were topped with love. For my drink I opted for the bittersweet dark and no milk as I love my drinking chocolate straight. It was such a great pick and I can't wait to return. This is something I've been searching for, thank you!

My friend and I went here and had a frozen and an iced hot chocolate (we're hot blooded). They were delicious - not too sweet and not too bitter. We sat outside on the patio but the inside is very dark and cozy - a bit on the modern side. Baristas were lovely.

Cacao gave me the best chocolate chip cookie of my life!!! I am so sad we are visitors and can't return frequently. We loved the vibe of this spot and friendliness of the staff. We didn't particularly love our lattes as they were not very sweet or strong and mostly like a light caramel milk.

I stopped by Cacao for the first time to try their chocolate chip cookie, which I've heard good things about. The place is clean and visually appealing, with decor that catches the eye. They offer chocolate options, mainly dark chocolate, pastries, coffee, and small bites. I enjoyed hearing Spanish music and seeing Dominicans working there. I ordered a matcha latte and a chocolate chip cookie. The matcha was perfect, but the cookie wasn't my favorite. I'm not a fan of salt on cookies, and the dark chocolate was a bit too intense for me. However, this is a cute coffee shop with lots of good things to try. Definitely check it out! Plus, it's Dominican-owned.

This is a lovely chocolate store. We tried the frozen chocolate and cookie and they were so good! The chocolate is rich without being overly sweet. Everything on display looked so appealing. There is indoor and outdoor seating but not enough table space for you to settle down and study/do work there. There is a steady flow of customers. Cute and clean space inside

Their chocolates are so fresh and rich and amazingly delicious! I got a small box for $20 just to try, and yes although it's pricey, they were a real treat! The ambiance inside is great as well and they have lots of outdoor seating spaces.

Another super cute coffee find in Boston! I'm so glad I stopped by at their South End location. The space is gorgeous and great for coffee photos. They also have some indoor and outdoor seating if you don't want to get your stuff to go. I tried their dulce de leche latte and chocolate chip cookie and both were absolutely delicious. Definitely will be back for their hot chocolate and other treats in the winter!

The ambience is what you're looking for in a coffee shop the nicest staff delicious coffee and some pretty amazing sweets. Comfortable seating I will be back.

This coffee/chocolate shop is a great addition to the south end! Definitely recommend trying their paletas in the summer!
