Cacao Tree Cafe - Royal Oak

I used to come here for lunch every day when I worked in Royal Oak. This restaurant is a hidden gem. The Hawaii smoothie is absolutely delicious and the walnut meat burrito is amazing. The ambience feels like a little piece of nature in the heart of Royal Oak. The service was always outstanding. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

The food was okay, but I question the mental capacity of the owner. During my last visit, the COVID barriers were still up. Having traveled across the US, I now realize I may have been overly generous in my previous praise of this restaurant.

Ok... stop what you're doing and go get yourself some OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD chocolate avocado pudding from CTC. It is the most refreshing dessert, that has all the healthy fats, but is equally creamy and dreamy. I was able to try a sampling while talking to Erin, who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They even make their own almond milk!! I sampled the pudding from their tent at the USA Wine and Food Fest so I haven't visited the storefront just yet but it is a cozy and quiet cafe tucked into Royal Oak and their menu offers many healthy options including salads, sandwiches/wraps, and smoothies! I will update my review soon once I check it out!

I really enjoy their General Tso wraps, and when I mentioned that I was pregnant, they made them extra filling for me. Thank you so much for the tasty meal, keep up the great work! ❤️

Salads are excellent: a good sized salad, fresh ingredients, good mix of vegetables. In short, a salad you actually want to eat. Soups are good too – I almost always try a soup of the day.
