Urban Cacao

Cute little shop with a cafe and a large assortment of chocolate bars and treats for sale. Loved all the beautiful wrappers - makes their chocolate bars the perfect gift!!

Great spot for interesting varieties of chocolate! I particularly like that they give you some small pieces to try so that you don’t accidentally buy something you might not like!

A chocolatier that I really like in Amsterdam is Urban Cacao on Hidenstraat. This is a good place for creative handmade chocolate bars. Opening hours are 10-6pm daily.

During our recent visit we purchased 8 different chocolate bars, taking them back to Hong Kong. Each tasted nice while several were really good. Most enjoyed were the 1) milk with caramel and sea salt, 2) milk with stroopwafel, 3) white with gingerbread orange and the 4) dark with salted almond and rosemary.

Look forward to visiting Urban Cacao the next time we are in Amsterdam to pick up more of their creative chocolate bars.

Chocolate lovers rejoice! Urban Cacao offers artisanal chocolate bars made of exotic single origin cacao from destinations such as Belize, Madagascar, Namibia, Kenya, Venezuela, etc. Aficionados will appreciate the wide selection of bars containing a high percentage of cacao. For those with a sweeter tooth, there are bars with nuts, caramel, dried fruits etc. A 100g bar is about 5 Euros. For 7 Euros one can buy 3 small bars ideal for sampling.
