| - Ordered:
- Illegal chocolate waffle
- Bring it all on sharing plate for two or more
Let's get the bad out of the way.
- Overpriced in my opinion.
- For a place that specializes in chocolate, the menu descriptions really does not do it justice. Once you're in the door and seated (you quickly forget what cocoa 70 chocolate is (if that brand of chocolate means anything to you)
- "Melted milk chocolate" does not mean much. For all I know, it could be some plain ol chocolate that was used. At least lie to me about how fancy the chocolate you are melting is so that it aligns with the price being charged.
- Illegal chocolate waffle - Waffle was poorly done. It came out looking sad and tasted bland. It wasn't the slightest bit crispy - not even the edges where it's typically thin and easily overcooks. I tried a piece of the waffle off the sharing plate as a comparison and that wasn't any better. My Eggo waffles at home tastes better. Bananas accompanying the waffles was not good. Presentation of the waffle plate was not good. Overall, poor quality here.
- Sharing plate is just robbery!! Everything there is so ordinary. Nothing there stands out. Bad waffles, bit of fruits, graham crackers and wafers, pieces of brownies, marshmallows, vanilla ice cream, pita bread with chocolate drizzles, all for close to $40?!?!
- Too ordinary for a specialized dessert place. Desserts not impressive. Prices not justified. Any wow factor I had at the beginning vanished instantly.
Now onto the good.
- The interior decoration is nice.
- The vanilla ice cream was alright..
- From what we ordered, there were few components that was just ok.
- There's not a whole lot of good I can say about my experience here.
Cacao 70 is a Canadian company that is expanding its brand out from Montreal. The way this particular location executed, I quickly forgot I was having "cacao 70" chocolate. It might as well have been any run of the mill type. The value just wasn't there. I love to support a local/Canadian business, and I did that this time. I won't be back again.
