| - I have been wanting to try Cacao 70 since it opened in STC. There's an option to dine-in at the restaurant that serves complete entrèes and dessert as well as the option to get take out, which only serves waffles, drink, and soft-serve ice cream. I decided to get take-out because of its dipped cone. From scoping out the photos on Yelp, I saw that Cacao 70 not only offers the flavour of the dip in chocolate but also unique flavours such as chai, black sesame, matcha, and earl grey.
I am a super fan of earl grey tea, so naturally, I decided to get that flavour dip with my soft serve. My first bite into that cone was... WOW!! I was immediately hit with the white chocolate flavour but as that taste mellows out, the earl grey essence starts to emerge. The floral aroma from the earl grey just permeates throughout my mouth... I could only say that it is indescribably delicious! I don't know how Cacao 70 imbued flavour in the dip but the earl grey flavour did not taste artificial.
Also, the thickness of the chocolate dip... OMG, I was in shock! The thickness is probably a good half a centimetre thick, which is comparable to Dairy Queen's chocolate dip that is a whole lot thinner. Even though the dipped cone looks small, because of the amount of chocolate on it, I would say it is probably about half a hershey bar worth of chocolate--which I find is plenty enough to eat in one sitting. Although paying $5.25 + tax for a regular-size dipped cone is a bit on the steep side, I believe it is worth it for the quality, flavour, and quantity of the chocolate in the dip--Cacao 70 does deliver in its chocolate!
Service wise, I was not greeted or thanked so I would say the customer service front could be improved quite a bit. Even though I was simply getting take-out, receiving some service would have been nice. Nonetheless, I was happy to see the worker wash her hands before she made my dipped cone so at least on the sanitary front, I don't have to worry about getting sick after eating here.
Overall, would I return? HECK YES!! I still have other dipped flavours to try!
