Ah Cacao Chocolate Café — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

In A Nutshell:

-Ah Cacao is a really cool spot to check out if you are into chocolate, especially pure cacao. -They also sell coffee too. -The main thing here is cacao, which if you have any clue, it's used in ancient Mayan ceremonies. -If you ingest 40grams of it, you'll experience some great vibes as it tickles your cardiovascular system. -If you do yoga, sound baths & the other related health & wellness activities, you might've come across a mini-cacao ceremony. -I like that they sell a wide-variety of cacao ranging from 100% pure to various mixed options w/ less cacao.

Overall, I highly recommend their hot cacao drink...

Perfect mocha frios with whipped cream!! Also tried the mocha mousse cake and brownie. The desserts aren't very chocolatey/rich, but indulgent nonethless. A great cafe to just sit and watch the world go by.

EDIT Visit #2: Staff were randomly being really stingy with the ice during our second visit, so expectantly our mocha frios were room temperature and the lady who served us gave us major attitude just for asking for ice in our water (which was perfectly fine last time!). Anywho, drinks weren't as good this time, BUT we did try the chocolate cake and it was legendary! Best dessert I tried there....

The hot chocolate with milk and no sugar was very good. The Chai without sugar was a watery mess with only a bit of clove flavor. When we asked for a flavor boost we were refused. It was not even worth drinking. A waste of five dollars and an uncaring staff. Que lasting. BTW the 100% chocolate bar is good. The story does not end there. I received an email from ah cacao asking me to send them an email so they could make it up to me. The email is apparently not the correct address. I won't go anywhere. They should have just not responded, disgusting. I would now...
