Those of you who agree that a day without chocolate is like a day without sunshine will LOVE Ah Cacao Chocolate Café. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a decadent dessert after eating at one of Playa’s many restaurants, or a great place to start your day with a coffee and sweet bite.

Ah Cacao’s is famous for its outstanding fudgy brownies, and the shop also sells wonderful chocolate candy bars, and a variety of specialty products made with chocolate, so be sure to check in frequently. What goes better with chocolate than coffee? Ah Cacao also offers a number of coffee and mocha drinks, hot or cold.

The ancient Maya of the Yucatan established the earliest known cocoa plantations and this shop honors this tradition with their high quality chocolates. Ah Cacao’s owners are committed to offering handmade products using only the finest Mexican criollo cocoa varieties and all of their products are made right here in Mexico, the birthplace of the little piece of heaven that is chocolate.

Playa's home for good quality chocolate. Amazing brownies.
