Yes, I did indeed visit Ah Cacao twice in one day! And yes I did go back a third time later in the week. And I was only in playa del carmen for 6 days. And I don't drink coffee. It was that good. Mocha frappe was the perfect solution for me to the hot, humid weather. My boyfriend chose... More

Great place to have chocolate and coffee! The desserts are amazing! I recommend the Mayan chocolate and corn flan.

The service here is always great- from the person that takes your to-go order to the waiters that make sure that you are satisfied with your drink/dessert. Great place.

This is the best little place for coffee and chocolate I have found. The staff are friendly and speak good english. The cappuccino was just perfect and the chocolate brownie brilliant. Its a great place to sit and enjoy your drink, just watching the world go by. Wish I was there now.

It isn't as visible as their other products but it is a real treat. They are pre-packaged cups of various flavors. The cocoanut was yummy and the Mayan chocolate divine.

We had lattes to go from this place, and they were good. The chocolate that my husband purchased was not excellent, but good enough. The prices for the chocolate available in the café were high, but I guess that was understandable since the café is located on 5th Avenue. Thanks!

My husband & I visited Playa del Carmen on May 18-24 2013 and this place kicked butt with their coffee concoction. We stayed at my parents villa at Royal Haciendas and took the shuttle to downtown, right in front of Ah Cacao. This was our cacao treat 4 times during our stay. Because of the weather, we ordered blended iced... More

This is short, and sweet. ;-) Our first time going to Ah Cacoa so had to try the infamous brownies! First time was so good we decided to try some of their other goodies. Got 2 brownies, a chocolate ice cream cup, and a slice of chocolate cake. Sugar and chocolate overload…no dinner for us that night. We just could... More
