Discovered Ah Cacao on 1st visit to Playa del Carmen and went back specifically to get more chocolate bars and brownies. So nice to bring back gifts that are truly made in Mexico. more

My sister and I visited the Ah Cacao in Playa and got iced lattes. This is a staple item for me here in the states and get from either Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks but this place blew them away!!

2 weeks ago my family and I went to the 5th Ave and Constituyentes in Playa and the new location in La Isla in Cancun. Both have excellent coffee, treats and service.
