A space to pause, breathe, and return to yourself.
Cacao Atelier is more than a café—it’s a gentle invitation.
Step through our door, and you’ll be greeted by soft music, thoughtfully prepared food, and the warm hum of real conversation—not loud, not rushed, just present. Every detail has been chosen with care. The cacao we serve isn’t just a drink; it’s a moment—a way to ground, open your heart, and reconnect.
Savour home-baked cakes, nourishing bowls, and gluten-free creations designed to support your body, not stress it. Every ingredient matters.
We also welcome guest speakers, healers, and kind souls to share their wisdom—on breath, balance, energy, food, emotions, and the subtle ways to begin feeling whole again. Whether you’re here for a talk, a ceremony, or simply a quiet seat in the garden, you’re invited to slow down and be present.
Why Cacao
Cacao is more than a delicious treat—it’s a source of nourishment for both body and spirit.
High-flavanol cacao has been shown to support natural healing by increasing circulating stem cells, helping tissue repair and regeneration. It may lower blood pressure, enhance cognitive function, and reduce mental fatigue. Compounds like phenylethylamine and tryptophan support endorphin and serotonin production, lifting mood and easing anxiety.
Spiritually, cacao has a rich ceremonial history. Today, it is used in modern rituals to set intentions, open the heart, and deepen connection to the self. It encourages love, compassion, and heightened awareness—inviting you to slow down, feel, and reconnect.

Our café has a simple yet powerful mission:
To give you space, to let you breathe, and to remind you that healing can be as simple as a warm drink, a heartfelt chat, or a few minutes of stillness.
We’re passionate about serving homemade, nourishing, and healthy food and drinks, while providing a welcoming space where people can connect, support one another, and feel part of a caring community.
We aim to be a 'one stop shop' for holistic healing. We can sign post you to any of our approved natural healing modality practitioners, just let us know what your issues are and we can make recommendations of what could be helpful to you at this stage of your healing journey.
The proceeds from the café directly support the charity Connect and Thrive so we can continue to offer wellbeing services in the community.
