Cacao 70 is a place that popped up on Queen St West for the past few months. I know there's another location near Distillery but it's rare for me to head in that direction so I'm glad that this popped up.
My friend and I came here after a late dinner on a Friday night (11pm). There were maybe 5-6 tables occupied at this time. The interior is well lit, cozy and well decorated. We were helped to water and menus right when we walked in. My friend and I decided to split the Choco Nut Waffle.
It took approximately 10 minute before we were greeted by a beautiful plated waffle with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries, bananas, hazelnut, and of course - a plate of melted chocolate (the store is named for its extensive chocolate selection). The waffle itself was average (you could upgrade your waffle - maybe I should have) - but I really enjoyed the ice cream. The fruits were fresh as well. The chocolate was delicious and if you drizzle it on the ice cream, the melted chocolate would solidify.
Overall, I enjoyed my dessert experience and would consider coming back. It's a cute place for desserts but it's definitely a bit on the expensive end.
