My wife and I went there because of good recommendations at Trip Advisor about the brownie. Well, It is really good, and the best of all was the very nice people that work there, like Cecilia and Ambar. Thanks for your smiles. Gustavo and Ana (Brazil) More

Stopped by based on user reviews and was not disappointed. The choco cake was moist and delicious. The belly was too full for their other goodies but if they are as good as the cake then I would have loved to try them all. Have a light dinner on 5th ave and then head over here for sme treats! More

Buy some cocoa to bring home. Your friends will be talking about your amazing brownies for months!!! The Choclate Ice cream hits the spot on a hot day and it's NOT a rip off like some of the big chains (H&D) on Ave 5. More

This stuff rivals fine European chocolate. Great place to stop for dessert, coffee and of course, a chocolate bar to take home. More

Ah Cacao is always one of the first stops on our vacation! I LOVE the brownies, they are so rich and just melt in your mouth. And we really enjoyed the iced mocha frappe...very refreshing, and so yummy. Can't wait until next years visit! More

Ah Cacao is a great place to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. I usually bring my dog, and we sit, relax, and have a coffee with a croissant. More

I don't drink coffee, but I eat chocolate ! And that's the place for me for the succulent mousse au chocolat, chocolate ice cream and hot chocolate. More

I wasn't sure why all the hype - guess I was just expecting more since we have terrific bakeries and coffee houses in our area that feature chocolate. As noted though, the brownies were very good! More
