A pair of chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit shops that are known in part for their hot chocolate will soon be down to just one, as the original location is closing down.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Cacao in Jamaica Plain is shutting its doors, with a Facebook post from the Centre Street shop saying the following:
We have made the very difficult decision to close our JP location at the end of this year. In the 80s, when our families immigrated from the Dominican Republic to Boston they settled in JP. We grew up in JP and went to JP schools so opening a business in JP was a dream come true. JP supported us from day one, made our frozen hot cocoa a summer treat to have and our hot chocolate was named one of Boston's best! Thank you JP for making us your "go to" shop for the holiday season and selling us out year after year!!
The Newton Highlands outlet, which can be found on Lincoln Street, will remain in operation.
The address for the JP location of Cacao is 660B Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, 02130. The website for the business can be found at https://cacaonuts.com/
