cacao

Cacao is a chocolate shop, café, and specialty food boutique located at 23 Lincoln St in Newton Highlands, MA, offering drinking chocolate, coffee, artisan chocolates, nuts, seeds, and gifts. Originally founded in 2018 in Jamaica Plain, the Newton Highlands location opened in 2020 as the brand’s second outpost, founded by owner Leo Baez. Cacao has since expanded further with a location in Boston’s South End, and has earned a loyal local following, being named a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite in 2024.
