About Me
Welcome to The Cacao Museum, where passion meets purpose amidst the rich tapestry of chocolate’s journey from bean to bar. Founded by Henkjan Laats, a connoisseur deeply entrenched in the realms of fine flavor and rainforest conservation, our museum is a testament to his years of experience in cacao-producing countries and culinary ventures as a seasoned chef.
My Mission

But our offerings extend beyond the ordinary, featuring innovative creations like cacao cheese, cocoa-infused sausages, tantalizing cacao beer, rich cocoa confiture, and soothing cacao tea. Pair these delectable treats with our premium coffees, teas, and specialty hot chocolate drinks, served alongside irresistible chocolate cakes that will elevate your taste experience to new heights.
