Beloved Henley Beach dessert cafe closes its doors

Coco Cacao, the cherished café in Henley where coffee and chocolate blended into delightful harmony, has closed its doors.

Coco Cacao, the cherished café in Henley where coffee and chocolate blended into delightful harmony, has closed its doors.

The café, known for its snug atmosphere and signature treats, called on the community to visit one last time last Sunday, April 28, to bid farewell to the dedicated staff and relish their favourite chocolate treats.

This closure follows a disheartening pattern in the Henley area, echoing the recent shutdowns of other local favorites such as Swedish Tarts and Cibo.

The issue extends beyond Henley, reflecting a broader trend across Adelaide’s hospitality industry, with notable establishments like Cardone’s in Glenelg and Lost in a Forest Pizza in Uraidla also ending their runs.

As news of Coco Cacao’s closure broke, it sparked a wave of emotional responses from the community. Social media comments reflected a deep sadness, with patrons sharing their memories and expressing their disappointment. Among the voices, there was a strong call for beloved staff members, particularly Belle, to open their own places.

Coco Cacao was a place where the simple joy of a coffee met the indulgence of chocolate, creating a unique and beloved menu. Its environment was more than just a backdrop for quick sips and bites; it was a gathering space that fostered warmth and community.

The cascading announcements of venue closures serve as a stark reminder that small businesses need our ongoing support. So if you’re thinking of grabbing a meal or coffee, throw your money behind your favourite venues, because every dollar counts.
