Cacao Market

The hot chocolate is amazing. I was surprised that it comes in an espresso sized cup! Pricey, but it is pure chocolate — a delicacy! Lots of gift ideas here as well

It was getting a lil’ chilly outside and starting to rain. Then we saw the advertisement for the world’s best hot chocolate. And that’s how we stumbled on this place.
It’s cute inside, I’ll give them that. And the dulce de leche version of their hot elixir was pretty damn good, as were the truffles and salted caramel chocolates. But a few of their other things were questionable (the white chocolate bark was not good). And the employees kinda seemed disinterested which didn’t help.
If I’m in Brooklyn and I’m looking for pricey chocolates and it’s cold and rainy outside, sure yeah I might try these guys again.

My favorite chocolate of all time. Pricey but worth it for special occasions.

Was about to place a big order for a party and was looking for the different options. So I called my boss to explain what to get and the old fart who works there kick me out cuz I was on the phone. Her exact words, go out, this place is music only (they were playing classic music in the background), LOL! Her geriatric attitude was so disrespectful and offensive. I was about to bring her business and no one else was there on an empty monday afternoon. GFY n GTH old devil. I am very disgusted by her action, shame on you!

This is a hidden gem, it looks kinda not so interesting or «food-​ish» from the outside just another cute store but go inside and its marvelous. A gorgeous seating area at the back, some amazing sugar free options (chocolate) if like me you don’t like your chocolate too sweet and just wonderful chocolate from different Latin American locations. I don’t normally If ever write reviews on Unilocal but I really think this place deserves to be seen more as I feel it is hiding it’s light under a bushel (to use a UK expression). Also I hope it remains in my neighborhood for ever more… good luck to all at Cacao Market your product is wonderful.

I stumbled upon this beautifully decorated store with the most perfect and relevant chocolate. A must for foodies and nostalgia buffs as this shop feels like life from another era.

My boyfriend and I went to Cacao Market for hot chocolate and absolutely fell in love with this place! One of the staff members, George, seriously made the experience so great. We had awesome conversation with him about so many things, including chocolate of course. I only went for a cup of hot chocolate but felt like I left having learned so much more from George.
I had the Mestizo Hot Chocolate and loved it. They also have a variety of chocolates for sale and some chocolate balls for customers to sample. There is a nice area to sit with a window to actually see the chocolate factory where they make their own chocolate from cacao purchased mainly from Central America, Ecuador and Colombia. I learned these are the main cacao exporters along with the Ivory Coast.
I am really happy this small business has come to our community. I am looking forward to going often and trying out more of their chocolates, especially the cognac mix once their liquor license is approved!

My boyfriend and I stopped by here after work to pick up some holiday gifts for some co-​workers when I realize I didn’t have time to go into the city and get my tried and true favorite chocolate truffles. I Unilocaled for chocolates shop in Brooklyn and came across Cacao Market, which is also similar to Mariebelle in the city, a place I’ve always wanted to try! Upon entering, the smell of chocolate will hit you and you’ll instantly want to try everything. The chocolate smell will linger in the air and makes everything smells soooooo delicious. This is a cute little chocolate shop with a factory in the back so that you can see them making chocolates, if you’re lucky, and there is also an area for maybe a small gathering or get together. The person assisting us, who I think may be the Owner of the shop, was very helpful in describing the different kinds of gifts available. Chocolate Ganaches & Caramels, YUM! There were also chocolate cluster balls available, chocolate covered fruits, and chocolate barks available. As well as a little café/​bar with all these interesting chocolate drinks! One thing I especially liked was that he didn’t hover over us while we were trying to make decisions, and instead, he’ll leave us for a few minutes to decide, and come back to check on us and see if we needed any assistance.
I picked up some Chocolate Ganache gift boxes and a Caramel Collection gift box. Obviously, we couldn’t leave without getting a drink too! The Matcha Hot Chocolate initially caught my eyes, but I wasn’t sure if I was feeling adventurous enough to mix both Matcha and Hot Chocolate together (two of my favorite flavors, btw). Since it was not terribly cold on the night I went to Cacao Market (60−70degrees weather in December?!), I weren’t sure whether I wanted to drink something hot. Luckily, they had Iced Chocolates available! Heavens! My boyfriend opted for the Iced Matcha drink while I was still deciding, and in the end, I went with the Owner’s recommendation of Iced Aztec Chocolate (Sinful Aztec maybe?). I thought my drink blew my boyfriend’s Matcha Chocolate out of the water, but he may tell you differently. We also left with a little more than half a pound of Milk Chocolate Bark with Macadamias. While delicious, I thought it was too milky for my taste buds, and may just opt for Dark Chocolate next time.
All in all, I would definitely come back here again when I am craving for chocolates, whether it’s the drinks or something to nibble on, and I would not hesitate to come back and purchase gifts for other occasions.

I’m all in favor of high-​end chocolate, but this place doesn’t cut it. The décor is lovely, I’ll give them that.
A primary item for sale here is the chocolate balls (I’m sure there’s a more attractive name for them but who knows — they look like whoppers) and the chocolate doesn’t taste like anything unique. Perhaps the filling distracts from the flavor of the chocolate? I think the best chocolate is single-​origin and these all tasted like a muted blend without any discernible flavor. By this I mean a chocolate should not taste like Hershey’s, and these did.
Now for the hot chocolate. I ordered a small, unaware that «small» means 4 oz. $ 4 for 4 oz of chocoalate is outrageous even at a chocolate shop in Brooklyn. Come on now. It was good — certainly thick and not at all watered down. But still. No.

Loved the hot coco, so rich and smooth. Cannot wait to make at home on cold nights. The chocolates i tasted were all delicious, and loved the ability to buy varying size bags from the dispensers. Owner very enthusiastic about having you try things and with good reason since once you try impossible not to want to buy something. Greatly enjoyed my visit to this store and look forward to going again.

A total chocolate lovers dream! So many types of chocolates to choose from and the prices are more than reasonable. Tastings are offered and the owners are so helpful and happy to lease!

I am totally in love with this beautiful and delicious slice of heaven in Greenpoint! Cacao Market is a wonderful respite the moment you step into it. There are delicious free samples that are displayed in a lovely tray for you (and your kiddo) to enjoy. The people who own the place have installed a chocolate factory right in the middle of Greenpoint and this enables them to cut down the costs compared to their flagship store in Soho. Lovely gelato cones cost $ 3 and you can choose your own combo of loose chocolates from ones flavored with bacon, ginger or good old fashioned almonds for $ 18 a lb. There are really yummy salads, sandwiches, pizzas and crepes as well. I ordered an iced chocolate with chipotle and spices. Really divine!
There is also a back room that would be perfect for a bridal or baby shower or a lucky kid’s birthday party. People need to check this sweet spot out asap!

Oh. My. God…
This place is dangerous, because I’m addicted after only going there once yesterday. I’m already planning to go again. EVERYTHING is insanely delicious. EVERYTHING!
Hundreds of heavenly chocolate flavors (get chocolate sausage!!!), yummy gelatos and sorbets (try lavender or rose petal gelato!!!). I’m so so so in love with this place!
