M. Cacao

M. Cacao is a true gem for chocolate lovers. Their molten drinking chocolate is everything you want it to be—thick, creamy, incredibly rich, and deeply satisfying. It feels indulgent in the best possible way and sets a high bar for what drinking chocolate should be. The Hot Pepper Caramels are another standout. The balance between chocolate and heat is beautifully done: flavorful and warming without overwhelming the palate. Each bite delivers complexity rather than just spice, making them memorable and addictive. Beyond the chocolate itself, the experience is elevated by the proprietor, who is exceptionally friendly and clearly passionate about their craft. They’re knowledgeable about their products and genuinely invested in helping customers. When I asked a very specific question they didn’t immediately have the answer to, they went the extra mile and even called their partner to make sure I got accurate information. That level of care and dedication really sets M. Cacao apart. Between the outstanding chocolate and the thoughtful, personal service, M. Cacao is well worth a visit and a place I’d happily return to again and again.

Saw this awesome place on Instagram so I decided to give it a try. What an awesome place, full of literal artwork and delicious chocolate all around. Worth the visit, worth the try and worth every penny!

Indescribably great chocolate. The flavors and textures are simply excellent. The horchata drinking chocolate is so good. People, if I lived in Amesbury I would haunt this place on the daily. You can sit and hang out and drink “molten chocolate”! Eat pastries with pals! The history and stories that I hear when I go in make me happy. The restored mill building it’s located in is cool and convenient. Love it here.

I recently had a phenomenal experience taking one of the classes here. Chef was great at explaining the chocolate making process and all the passion that went into selecting ingredients and designing flavors. There were plenty of tools available for everyone that were constantly being cleaned. It was a very hands on class. I highly recommend to anyone nearby! It would be great if they added a Saturday class as I did have to take work off to make it for the class.

Visited many times for Free Chocolate Fridays and tried so many of their chocolates and new creations! High quality treats and friendly staff! All their treats have been great! Always bring delicious chocolate and other treats back home. Will definitely buy more!

If you’re in the area you must visit this little gem. From concept to creation the flavors, designs, and presentation are incomparable. Today I tried a chocolate covered marshmallow and a very spice ghost pepper caramel! I’m prefer my sweets on the “less sweet” side, and these really hit the mark. While you’re there, order the mocha latte!

The most sophisticated chocolates I have ever had. Let's start with the chocolate which is like no other you have ever tasted (or as I learned, the cacao bean and how it is processed). The chocolate is dark, a little bitter, a little sweet, it coats your mouth in the most luscious way. The small batch caramels are sinful, so creamy and light and sweet and just perfect with the slight bitterness from the chocolate (the green and red hatch with the slight heat and tingle, are addictive). My favorite is the Les Sensations with popping crystals (think rice krispies made of honey sugar), The Honey Bees (actual honey inside, Gd made wildflowers, just so bees would make honey for these chocolates) and The Opera - truly art with how the layers are so perfect, and the combinations marry together so beautifully. Each one delights all 5 senses. When you want to treat yourself extra special, these are the chocolate creations for you!

Mike & M. Cacao are simply the best! Their chocolates are to die for and pastries are phenomenal. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area.

M Cacao is a hidden treasure just outside of downtown Amesbury. Michael was super informative about the selections of everything from Carmels ,chocolates and macaroons. These are Not something you can find anywhere but here. These are gourmet very creative works of all art. I have already given these as a gift they at Are second to none
