Cacao is a small cafe located in Newton Highlands, specializing in chocolate related confectionery and drinks.

We came in during the afternoon, and it was quite busy but the staff were very accommodating and knew the menu quite well, recommending some things to try out. They had a large assortment of pre-assembled goods to buy, such as chocolate covered nuts, as well as hot chocolate mix.

We tried the hot chocolate and the dulce de leche. The portion size was reasonable for the price, and the chocolate was pretty good. The hot chocolate was made primarily of dark chocolate, which isn't my favorite, but turned out to be a good choice as it cooled down and became more rich.

Overall, a great experience and would definitely come back to try again.

Wayyyyyyyyyy overpriced. Not worth the trip. 30% on the tip menu is a level of bold that made the whole experience uncomfortable.

The place is a whole vibe . Super friendly I wanted to stay ! The chocolate is high caliber , pastries and coffee . Thus far , for the quality it’s reasonably priced. The great music is an added plus. The bathroom is super clean as well as the place as a whole . They have indoor seating . They have one seat outside as well . There is limited meter parking but it’s across from a whole lot of metered parking . It’s also in front of the Greenline , Newton center .

Stopped by on our way out of Boston. The 2 folks working we're so helpful in identifying non-dairy/vegan drinks and chocolates for my spouse and I -- and oh my gosh, everything was divine. HIGHLY

My mom and I saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it out. My mom got the dulce de leche latte and I got the dulce de leche drinking chocolate. It was THE BEST hot chocolate I've ever had. So rich, so creamy, so good. Honestly it's one of those "you have to try it yourself" kind of places, words don't do the flavors justice. I love it, and I would definitely go again and again and again. :)

Arrived from the UK and just walked 25mins to get a decent cup of coffee at this place. It did not disappoint and cookies were tasty and service very friendly and professional.
