Cacao
570 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Boston, Cacao is a chocolate lover's sanctuary that takes its craft seriously, crafting rich, perfectly-balanced hot chocolates and creative drinks like their lauded dulce de leche latte using quality ingredients that actually taste like chocolate, not sugar. The cozy, unhurried atmosphere pairs beautifully with their exceptional house-made pastries—particularly those addictively salted chocolate chip cookies—making it the rare spot where you'll linger over a single drink rather than rushing out. Whether you're seeking a niche gift from their curated selection or stumbling in for what becomes an unexpectedly memorable afternoon, Cacao rewards curiosity with genuine craftsmanship and warmth.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.
