Cacau Brazilian Patisserie in Redcar and Cleveland

A fabulous place for gluten free cakes. 3 choices and not a brownie in sight. Those who are gluten intolerant will know what I mean. Great coffee. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely gorgeous cakes and excellent quality coffee! Perfect for lunch or a little sweet treat

Absolutely gorgeous - both the gluten free and regular breakfasts we ate in and the cakes and savouries we brought home. Wish we lived closer! So wonderful to have such gorgeous gluten free choices

The best place to eat in England. 💜

Great food and drink. Plenty of vegan options and made our family feel very welcome.

The hot dog was top-notch! The staff are friendly and kind. Highly recommended.

Great coffee and friendly service

Great vegan options and charming place

They got something for everybody Friendly staff amazing coffee and cozy place🌹

What an amazing place been past this so many times and really wished we had gone in sooner!

Cute little cafe with lovely coffee and cheese balls. Super helpful greeter as well! I it’s a shame I’m just visiting or would come back to try everything on menu.

Small, peaceful seaside cafe. Very friendly service. Main reason for the post is the oreo milkshake, probably the best I've ever had.

Tried the Coxinha and hotdogs, absolutely perfect food. Will definitely be back.

Lovely home cooked Brazilian food, warm welcoming atmosphere

Only had coffee and tea here, but was really good. Lovely atmosphere. Spoke to the owner and he was friendly. Love that it is an independent cafe. We only go to the independent ones.

Friendly, helpful, atmospheric little cafe with traditional Brazilian food and plenty of options for vegans, vegetarians, kids, etc. The feijoada is particularly good.

Lovely and bubbly greeter/server! The food was absolutely amazing and I love the decorations 😊

Lovely cafe with good cake and Brazilian food options. Staff really friendly

Just stopped for a coffee, very pleasant staff and nice place.

Great Cakes Good Coffee and very friendly staff.

A nice strong Americano and good cake/biscuit options. Nice cottagecore vibe which feels homely and relaxed. Didn't have food this time but menu looks good and they have vegan and gluten free options too :)

Very polite and friendly staff. Absolutely beautiful cakes and reasonably priced.

Lovely friendly little place...excellent coffee and meals all served freshly cooked and with a smile. Cannot fault it.

Fantastic friendly family-run cafe with great coffee and food

Beautiful lil spot, incredible food, really authentic in personality and flavour and it brought me right back to Sao Paulo 💜💜 The owner is lovely and the feijoda was perfect. OH AND THE MILKSHAKES!!! We had 2 regular and 2 vegan and all we're extremely tasty. Plus the gluten free food was to die for.

Best Café and lots of vegan options. Try vegan Cremoso Gnocci, Cupuaçu Juice and of course the cafe’s own sauce which can be put on anything!

Nice friendly staff food was lovely

Super food, homemade, vegan as well. Pleasant,genuine staff it's their business. Bean soup is a special plus the Biscoff vegan cake.

Perfect little spot for authentic brazilian food. Passion fruit juice was amazing!!!

Went to Redcar just to see the town since i'm on a UK tour. This cafe is probably one of the only thing that kept my attention (apart from the beach and esplanade that very nice and refreshing), otherwise the town is pretty uninteresting Very good brazilian food, delicious cakes and coffee, service is also very nice and the place is cosy and warm ! It's a very nice place to eat for lunch + it's not so expensive (14 pounds or so in total with quite a big meal, a HUGE slice of cake and a HUGE coffee) + a lot of veggie options Would definitely recommend !

Popped in to this lovely little cafe on a Saturday afternoon. My husband and I have walked past several times during our walks from Saltburn to Redcar and back. We finally went in last Saturday and we were glad we did. The owner and the other members of staff were so friendly and it's just a lovely laid back place. Paninins were great and the coffee gorgeous! The young lady there recommended the homemade sause that is on the tables and it's delicious, we bought a jar before we left. Cakes looked amazing, so next time!!

Authentic Brazilian food, friendly service, a hidden gem. Buy a bottle of the sauce to take away, you won't regret it!

Came here again with my partner visiting Redcar for the weekend. Really enjoyed coming here. Staff are so lovely and welcoming. Atmosphere is so homely and laid back. The food is once again really lovely! I'll be coming back again!

A lovely little cafè at Redcar, not a great deal of places to go for lunch there anymore but luckily found Cacao whilst having a mooch about. Small but cozy and comfortable surroundings. The cakes looked amazing and were massive but we didn't have room after our lunch. Good choice of menu including some Brazilian options, all reasonably priced, would absolutely go back....if only to try some of the cakes that were on offer 🤤

Amazing food and such friendly service! My favourite place in town :)

Lovely food, lovely staff. Family run business. Food cooked from scratch in on-site kitchen. Favourite of ours. Still lovely. Lovely tomato soup. Lovely to visit and warm up on a rainy cold day in Redcar.

First time in here as an adult, was lovely and the staff were also..Great looking selectiong of fresh cakes also which I'll be trying the next time I come!

Absolutely, lovely authentic Brazilian food cooked with love, by brazilian cooks with Brazilian elements. The owner is a class act. Love from Romania

Really enjoyed our visit to Cacau! I had the vegetarian Feijoada which was lovely and a really generous portion - went well with the Cacau chilli sauce. It would be great to see even more authentic Brazilian cuisine on the menu 😃. The cakes looked incredible but I was so full I wouldn’t have been able to manage one. Will definitely be back! Obrigada!

Absolutely lovely little restaurant. Excellent food, friendly staff and very clean. Prices not too bad for what you get.

Very friendly with lovely food.

I’m here 6 times a week , I’d go for tea if it was open , love the coffee and the food spot on 👍🏻👍🏻

A lovely breakfast and cup of peppermint tea! Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Their homemade chilli sauce was also great

BRILLIANT. We had an afternoon tea with a Brazilian twist. It was excellent

Lovely little cafe, good food in a cozy environment.

Called in for a coffee. Nice little cafe. Friendly gentleman serving. Would be nice to have had time to try something from the menu. Just looked like snacks but some sounded enticing. Brazilian.

Delicious food.and such nice staff. We love to go to Cacau every time we're in Redcar.

Small fabulous place.Fab food very friendly staff.11/10 see you soon

Excellent coffee , strong and sweet (no over burned ) and very good chocolate pie . Perfect combination. Very sympathetic couple of owners and absolutely fair cost. Is a good option for late afternoon take a bite. Highly recommended .

Cheap and cheerful, good food, friendly staff just a little bit crowded but only a small place so can't be helped

Great place to remind me to the good food we have in Brazil. Staff is always happy to help and place is cozy. I would definitely get back to enjoy more!!

Great little coffee shop. Good service. Good price. Great latte. Will go again.

A perfect little patisserie in an otherwise abysmal town. This place is definitely too good for Redcar. The food is always perfect and the service is incredible. I feel terrible that I can't remember the owners name, but he's such a lovely person every time we go in. I've since moved away from Redcar but any time I return I will always come here for a beautiful experience in Cacau.

Absolutely yummy chocolate and mint milkshake. Haven't tried the coconut cake yet but I'm sure I won't be disappointed 😊

Got my order wrong then told me I had to drink it because they already had made it. We ordered a cappuccino but got a Latte

Absolutely great place, can't believe it took me this long to try it! Just today myself, two other adults, three children and a small dog had some lovely food here (loads of vegan and veggie options) the service was amazing and it's such a great atmosphere!

A really interesting selection of fruits that we typically do not get in UK supermarkets. The owner is lovely and always happy for a chat. There is plenty of on street parking too!

A lovely family run café. The sweets are yummy.

Excellent place, pleasant surroundings and staff efficient and friendly.

Very clean good choice of food and Very friendly staff.

A little gem in the middle of Redcar. Great gluten free menu, although we didn't eat this time. Did not expect to find such a great independent cafe. We'll definitely be back

Great place & food with very friendly staff.

Superb coffee and cake. Definitely worth visiting.

Absolutely delicious food and coffee and cosy place!

Holy Cacau’w! Saw Sophie_B had rated highly and she’s got good taste, so why not. Why has it taken me so long? What a fantastic little place for lunch. The menu is really vegan friendly and the owner ‘Hamiliton’ is lovely, as the waitresses. The food tasted fantastic and we had … Feijoada £9.90. A trad Brazilian black bean dish with vegan smoked sausage, served with boiled rice, farofa (looks like breadcrumbs but is made from cassava (yuka)) and collared greens. My word, what a plateful… what a delight. The family recipe is the best I’ve had. Caldo de Feijao £5.20. A trad Brazilian creamy bean soup with vegan sausage served with oregano olive oil croutons. The beans came from ‘Hamilton’s’ home town in Brazil and it really was creamy, thick and very filling. Vegan Hot Dog - Brazilian Style. £5.30. A hot dog which tasted really really good. The vegan mayo with their homemade sauce and mustard perfectly rounded it off. It’s described as Brazilian but the potato sticks made it more American?! Perhaps a Brazilian staple like potato salad or a side salad? Vegan cheesy chips £3.90. Not the usual poor quality vegan cheese, but nice runny cheese which had melted properly - guilty sin 😉 Would I go back? Yes … like this week Would I recommend. Yes. #Veganuary

Lovely little cafe in Redcar. The cakes are amazing xx

Become a regular here. Always brilliant experience in this cafe, super friendly staff. There is a great menu and cakes are to die for!
