Cacao 70

I went to give it a try, ordered just a hot chocolate and i was not impressed. I was brought a cup with chocolate syrup and a small container with lukewarm milk. It could have been syrup from the supermarket for all I know. The customer service was friendly and quick, but the ambiance is ruined by too many McGill students who take over the place and scream across the tables, actually, the place seems to be invaded all the time by rude Asian students

the chocolate is bomb af but the waiters are too slow even on an empty night :(
highly recommend the crepes but dont get the chocolate pizza it tastes weird ¹⁄₁₀ would recommend

Chocolate heaven! Went here for dessert last night and it was great! Lots of selection to satisfy every type of chocolate lover. Service was very good and place was packed with people at 10pm. The only down side was its pretty pricey once you add tax and tip but it’s not like you’d go every day. You’d likely only go for special occasions except for my friend Tina who’d likely frequent this place daily. Lol

Wondering if all the brown walls are supposed to be a substitute for the lack of chocolate in my crêpe?
Found it quite tasteless (the food and the décor)…student hangout. Loud and impersonal.
Will not be back for more. That’s all you need to know.

Went here for brunch this morning, and I’m definitely a fan! My friend wanted to take me to Le P’tit Plateau for brunch, but the line extended way out the front door. Since we were in a time crunch, we decided to eat across the street at Cacao 70.
We were seated right away when we arrived at 11:30am (it seems people tend to go out for brunch a lot later in Montréal), and attempted to decide if we wanted sweet or savoury. Lucky for us, Cacao 70 gives you a free appie fruit plate with dark chocolate dip to start. We LOVED this (ordering this separate is $ 5), but wish it had come at the end of brunch instead of at the beginning. I ordered an Americano, which was surprisingly delicious, considering this place isn’t known for their coffee.
I originally wanted to order the blue mushroom omelette, but I couldn’t change the order to not include swiss cheese (the omelette mix is pre-​made), so I decided to order the veggie frittata instead. The veggie frittata came as a huge portion in an iron pan for $ 12.50 and included eggs, spinach, tomato, basil and feta cheese, baked in an oven. It also came with a side of whole wheat sourdough bread. I was barely able to finish half of this, and took the rest home as a second meal.
My friend ordered the open faced chicken sandwich ($ 11.50) and also only had good things to say about it.
My bill with tax and tip came to about $ 18, which was very reasonable for coffee, 2 meals and the adorable fruit plate at the beginning. I definitely want to come back, but for the sweet menu next time!

Loved their choco-​nut waffle! Their nutella & fruit (you choose one, my brother chose strawberry) is just OK, nothing special about it.

Absolutely everything is delicious. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because it’s fairly slow, but if you’re not in a rush, this is the best dessert place ever!

Excellent place for snack or dessert… Great variety. Chocolate quality is good. Waffles are great. A delicious treat… And very well presented.
Prices are reasonable considering the amount of chocolate they give you.
A few things to improve: the wafers in our plate were really stale. The brownie is too dense and too sweet to be enjoyable
Waitresses were very nice.

This place was delectable! We had «regular» food, as well as some desserts and everything was amazing. The chocolate is very rich and their portions for the desserts are huge, definitely shareable. The café was quite loud & busy, especially for a Sunday night. The place was packed with only 2 waitresses so wait time was a bit long but our waitress was still as attentive and did her best to be as fast as possible.

FIVE STAR FOR THE FOOD: I went there for desserts, and Oh. My. God. Best dessert place ever! Had a Black & White chocolate fondue with an americano, shared a single with a friend after a meal, and we were full. Best chocolate ever – my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
The only reason why I wouldn’t give full five stars is because of the service. My friend and I wanted to sit and take plenty of time enjoy our coffee + fondue, but the server asked us whether we were done with our food when we hadn’t even finished half of it! Even after that, she walked around our table which made us pretty uncomfortable… so we had to finish our food in a rush and leave.

My wife and I thought this was just a place for chocolate. Boy were we wrong. We looked in and saw a customer with frittata in a cast iron pan and realized the menu must be more expansive. It was. We both had frittatas and they were excellent. You are served with a small platter of pineapple, strawberries and banana with a small dish of melted chocolate before your entrée is served. A mini fondue if you will. Delicious. We will definitely be going back to try their crepes, waffles and sandwiches.

Delicious food, 1^st class service, amazing presentation! They also have very big servings, very filling. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing, delicious breakfast. We will definitely return!

A good place for brunch and I’d recommend going when you’re pretty hungry. I got the vegetable frittata (with toast) and it came with a mini fondu with strawberries, bananas and pineapples. I wasn’t able to finish and probably should have split one meal with a friend. Overall, it’s a decent place, lots of seating and dessert/​brunch choices for different taste buds!

I took a bunch of friends here during their visit to Montréal. It was around 9:30pm on a Saturday, and there was no line up! Hurray! The décor has a bit of a modern twist to it in comparison to its st, catherine location near metro atwater. The bakers or cooks are in the middle — a very visible location for anyones entertainment. Trust me, it’s fun to watch how they make all the dessert art. It’s also MUCH more spacier — which is good!
I ordered the white and milk chocolate fondue, while my friends ordered the strawberry crêpe, caramel milkshake, and hot chocolate. I would say the quality is comparable to their other locations. My friend wanted to try their chocolate alcohol, but we learned from our waitress that they were still waiting for their liquor license. I’m not sure how long it takes, but our visit was recent, so if you’re there for those items you might want to try a different location.
Servers were nice, our waitress was courteous and always came around to ask us how our food was. She was also very prompt with our requests.

Went to visit the McGill ghetto and was pleasantly surprised by this Café at Milton and Parc. My friend and I ordered a chocolate marshmallow pizza (quarter inch) to share. Although the menu stated it was for one person, it was more than enough for the two of us. The ‘pizza’ came with bananas and strawberry to dip in chocolate as well. We were very happy with the meal and the service.
We went around 3pm on a Monday and the place was quite empty. It would’ve been so nice to have had this Café to go to back when I went to McGill!

Cacao 70 is a standard version of chocolatier /​dessert places these days. With many other options for patisserie, ice cream and crepes, Cacao 70 wouldn’t be my first pick unless you were craving chocolate fondue. I ordered the volcano which was a brownie with vanilla ice cream, strawberries, caramel /​strawberry and chocolate sauce. The brownie was alright but I have a particular aversion to ‘generic-​tasting’ vanilla ice cream so I was disappointed to see that a joint specializing in dessert wouldn’t invest more into a high quality vanilla ice cream. Other than that the sauce were pretty average, nothing to rave about. On top of the taste, the value for money isn’t great considering a single brownie dessert is $ 8 – 14. Still, Cacao 70 deserves three stars for its convenient location, attentive staff, clean environment and average desserts.

Cacao 70 not only sells dessert… they have a full on brunch menu available until 4pm. Their portions are huge, just like their desserts, so it is well worth visiting!
The café’s menu is a bit on the pricey side for dessert, but I forgive them because their portions are quite big and I would really do anything for chocolate.
The Milton & Parc location is very spacious, with lots of tables and booths for everyone. There is a permanent table for 8.
Brunch:
When you order from their brunch menu, they offer a plate of fruits & chocolate fondue! We didn’t realize they did until they brought it to us, but it was a really nice surprise. Because the fondue isn’t the main dish, the chocolate is a lot less, but the amount of fresh fruit that they give you is so abundant!
Our portions were so big that neither of us finished it on the spot. As for the taste, I think it tasted pretty decent… very healthy. My frittata was a bit bland for my taste, but still nevertheless very good.
Cacao 70’s strong pursuit is definitely their sweet stuff; their brunch menu is alright. Nothing overly extraordinary, but not too bad either. I especially love that they offer a side of fresh fruit with chocolate fondue.
Onto their sweet menu:
Nutella Ricotta Cheese Pizza — The pizza tasted great; you really can’t go wrong with nutella! The taste of ricotta cheese wasn’t very strong, which was a little disappointing, because all I could taste was nutella. But I think using ricotta cheese was a smart idea because the cheese is a good mediator; whipping cream would’ve been too much and ice cream would’ve made the pizza way too sweet. The ricotta cheese has texture to it and allows the sweetness of nutella to really be the main focus of the pizza. The fruits and chocolate sauce given is a nice touch, to personalize your slice of pizza just the way you want it.

I came here for a little afternoon snack last weekend.
I ordered something called the volcano which was a brownie with ice cream, strawberries, coconut and caramel. My friend ordered a raspberry smoothie and a banana/​strawberry/​chocolate crêpe. The portions were extremely generous and generally the food was delicious. I found my selection to be overly sweet and it caused a sugar induced headache, but I think that was my fault for indulging in such a rich treat. My boyfriend enjoyed his selection as well. We also ordered tea.
My only complaint was that service was really slow at the beginning– we kept getting ignored for a good 20 minutes before they took our order. Also, it was quite loud inside, especially with some crying kids.

Quatre étoiles pour les portions gargantuesques (petits appétits, adeptes des diètes, en attente d’un diagnostique de diabète, optez pour le partage). Mention spéciale à la gaufre banana split. Belle et succulente création. Le service est très courtois et l’ambiance est agréable. Laisser tomber la belle de Roméo à quelques rues de là. Cacao 70 lui a damé le pion et il n’utilise pas de Nutella, LUI!

Le nouveau Cacao 70 est arrivé dans le Ghetto McGill ^^ yeah ! Comme d’hab, un lieu pour les amateurs de chocolats de toute sortes. Ma crêpe aux bananes + cacao (9 $) était délicieuse + bon petit moka (4,95 $) aussi. Le chocolat ”équateur 76%” (9,25 $) était de qualité et vraiment onctueux. Il n’y avait aucuns clients en pleine après-​midi. À mon avis, j’aime mieux Cacao 70 que Juliette & Chocolat, qui est surestimé à mon avis. La jeune serveuse était sympa et le service fut rapide. Prix ok. Je reviendrais sûrement pour essayer leurs brunchs. Le wifi gratuit né fonctionnait pas lors de ma visite. Pour ceux qui ont la dent sucrée que ce soit pour de chocolat de qualité, crêpes ou gaufres, c’est une bonne adresse dans le quartier.

Came here for my friend’s birthday along with my other friends. We took the sharing sharing menu for 2 or more; which essentially has most of delicicacies of the menu covered. It contained a quarter of triple chocolate pizza, marshmallows for roasting, grahm crackers for smores, fresh strawberries for fondue, chocolate covered waffles, and carmelized bananas. I found the waffles to be the best of them all. The waffles were hot and perfectly crunchy. The service was fast and the waiter was very nice and cheerful. I love the clean, pristine atmosphere of the place. I would most definitely come back to satisfy my sweettooth! :)
