A true “Bean-to-Bar” operation, utilizing zero-emissions solar energy from fermentation to roasting and winnowing, Ah Cacao Chocolate Café began in 2004 on a single family farm in Mexico – its products now offered online, in partnering shops and across five Cafes throughout Quinta Roo.
Based out of Playa del Carmen, the store on Fifth Avenue between 38th and 40th Streets offering air conditioned respite from nearby beaches, it is alongside several packaged goods that the tidy Café serves Pastries, Sandwiches and Coffee at prices a bit higher than other smaller brands, though still a bargain compared to similar items in the United States of America.
Supported by Xcaret, and bolstered by online sales during COVID-19, one bite of Ah Cacao’s 72% Dark Chocolate is all one needs to appreciate the quality of Mexican Cacao, its brightness dissipating into smoother herbal bitters and lingering sweetness well-suited for baked goods such as a thin yet dense Brownie.
Also taking on Desserts without Chocolate, a double-stack Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting performing well while Pastel de Maiz that eats like New York Cheesecake is truly mesmerizing, do not let Playa del Carmen’s humidity thwart a look at Ah Cacao’s Chocolate Croissant which offers not only filling but drizzle amidst proper lamination.
