It's an amazing place but we are not talking about an amazing place you said that you work you work now this is your third coffee shop
in the first coffee shop I I just got in and at the next week I was making coffee because the person who is this
owner of the coffee shop and she got caught with and so my partners are hasn't been able to go so I have to learn fast and I really like it so it's that wasn't a little right I have to lift my arm because some issues so I got in another coffee shop and then I came to Playa del Carmen and I one more one more time after no before
you're right after you want to have to have to after you got a job here at this location or do you work at the other locations on Kakao locations in Playa del Carmen but yeah I mean when you have friends or family come to town we always like to ask the guests were you take them they fight Avenue it's so nice that they go it's so close to the beach so I take them to the beach and then we walk into Avenue but we go to eat or drink something and they are so many places including Alcatel so
I thought Kyle has a really good chocolate and coffee so what is your number one favorite restaurant
my favorite is a cacao good but there is no like meals here option but it will be a restaurant called La Perla fish on 38th Street and has a really good Mexican food okay I know that website you know I don't think I know that place actually it was in another Street what's up there 34 before 2020 and then change if they move to the 38th Place really really Mexico Mexican Cuisine
and well for how long you been staying at you being working December 6th in December and so it's B bonds 2022 is being for you all the year and why did you come to why did you come to Playa de Carmen because I moved with my brother so we can both to play he used to working to them too but then I we have opportunity to come to Playa del Carmen that is really awesome
so I'm I'm looking over the menu here I've work so we're talkin about coffee shops in Playa del Carmen and by far I am the biggest fan of a cacao we've been coming here since I arrived 16 years that's a lot that you already told me that you have this card membership like what is that do you know they can make
a membership in fate
they asked us for a drink or a further word is there and they are a chameleon that later they can change for services for when you have 300 points you have a discount of therapy 30 pesos in your food and your drinks you know how many points I got it please tell us all people I couldn't and you know what did I think the last time I was up at like 10000 points and I didn't have to pay for coffee for like almost 4 months there's to be a record for that and maybe you need that metal or something he actually Sandy I'm very familiar with here and I can if you look at my cell phone I got 30 pictures cuz they do the the pictures in the
yeah I can I gamble with some wheels are different because it's the picture so yeah but it's and he's really good at making that they are probably about
50 pictures of my phone of all the all the copies that not only Sandy made but everybody makes cuz they specialize on that they know I'm coming up I don't even as I'm walking up there already making my latte they already know what I want it's kind of funny and they're so good to me I that's why I mean because I truly love Chaka Khan I know that you are talkin by by true I don't know how to say like you don't see her happy because actually this is our first All Occasion 40th and now we're really happy that I didn't he came through the 40s in English the most popular popular drink that people get here
and the most we sell is in frappe and it's really nice and you can do we need any milk you want it we have soy almond and coconut for vegan and lactose free line semi a scheme and a thermal okay and we'll do you say there's more people asking for big and meals than it is this growing or what what do you feel about this morning sorry because it's really nice day that maybe you was here so they like it
perfect you're getting comfortable because you are totally better than you think she's doing amazing I know it I have all the faith in the world with her
excuse me my coffee so I noticed that's a big part of my coffee today right then you make too much about this all right so there's I'm looking at the menu and we got mochas we got Cafe lattes americanos will let them know that Maya has a bicycle chile pasilla in Orange field and its citricos a little bit more sent me dark chocolate so it's it's really good and sweets spices and we had the good old Tradition now yeah the chocolate traditional it's only hot but we can do it go to wait an extra of Manila in cuz it's cinnamon
vanilla and a chocolate a chocolate we use a 72% and it's really good and then I don't know what is at the menu and I was thinking on that chocolate that is the one we use here is how does it look up its fill of sorts of chocolate and 13 try that absolutely I even then you got the different types of chili which is normal for coffee shop
yeah I do tea infused tea also called we have chamomile Green Lemon on a fruits of the forest you can do it with sugar no sugar
and are horny if you want and yeah so far you do we share with us. You already working some other place is somebody's got the job what would you say is now the difference from working or knowing a cacao concept and brand aside the other ones know it's so different and so many aspects but
it's really nice because you have to get comfortable with the time my first day I was like really nervous because it's like I was watching a lot of things so I didn't know yeah in general like you have the cappuccino and Latte flag right here we don't have the flag why it's my favorite coffee but yeah I don't know if I know that one I don't I know I don't know it yeah but it's really good
then macchiato is it similar or a expresso with chocolate yeah I know we made a mistake we should have got some so I did I would I just went down the hot list of items and then we can go down the cold list and it pretty much it has everything the same the only thing is it's vanilla forgot to pick up the the vanilla vanilla
so then let's see let's see what else we can have here we had all the spinach one is and is really nice because so many people came to work for them and they think they are not good but I really good chocolate is really smooth chocolate tamales with normal yes all right and know that I also have ice cream
a by neela brownie coconut chocolate Maya and chocolate dark or make it with a chocolate of the brand and they are really getting mad we can do it shake and it's really good it's my favorite for drink remember if I recall a brain stem
damn the products the products to sell to to give to the people you can try and if you are not sure and then you do if you don't want it or sorry to you don't like it you can say it is and we can change it to you okay there's other there's a lot of other desserts here as well so you talked about ice cream and I've had I think all of these chocolate brownies brownies I really give you that my favorite to it it's really really nice and not too sweet but I don't know what they have something Set It Off favorite if she still very thin so she's not overdoing chocolate cake
