I went to Soul Lift today for the first time and will definitely be returning! The place is warm and inviting with excellent, friendly service and amazing drinks. The flights are a great way to experience the different offerings and find your favourite. I expected to love the chai but the snickerdoodle really stood out. All of them were excellent though, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. They also have a few board games you can play while relaxing which was a really nice way to spend the afternoon, and I was amazed at pricing for both the hot drinks and the items you could buy in-store. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area. It’ll easily become your new favourite!
Pure deliciousness! On a recent visit to Soul Lift Cacao, I was fortunate to hear a brief history of ceremonial cacao and it’s sourcing; allowing for a greater appreciation on my part. All that, plus great service, a welcoming vibe and delicious drinking cacao. I will definitely be back!
Awesome place. I LOVE their mild cacao and my husband really likes their cacao chai. Expensive but really worth it. I've been buying from them for about two years. Super solid. They're on Etsy too.
Soul Lift Cacao was such a lovely experience! From the clean warmth of the atmosphere to the super friendly team fixing beverages to the deliciousness liquid gold in a cup! The drinking chocolate is smooth, rich, decadent and filling! I consumed a chai drinking chocolate with warming spices and added on a mushroom blend along with CBD by East Fork Cultivars. They require proof of vaccination if you are sitting indoors to enjoy your beverages so make sure you’ve got your card handy. Made me feel much more comfortable going and sitting inside. There is also covered outdoor seating, with one heater which they’ll turn on upon request. I Loved every moment of my time there! If you’re looking for gifts they also have their cacao mixes.
I love Soul Lift Cacao. I visited Portland for a weekend and stopped in just to check it out. I ordered a snickerdoodle drinking chocolate. It was so amazing that when I got home I googled them and was able to order some to make at home. I like it because I don't drink coffee or caffeine but I can still feel like I'm having a latte when I drink this. I got single packets to give to my friends as gifts too. I also saw that they have intentional and ethical business practices. 5/5!
This place is horrible. If you want tasteless cacao powder in luke warm water, then this is your place. If you want flavorful powderless chocolate drinks, then go to Roste Chocolate in the Pearl.There are multiple issues:1) They don't seem to use hot water, so it didn't completely dissolve the cacao powder.2) If you don't use hot water, then strain your drinks so there is not clumps of cacao powder at the bottom. I got a tablespoon of undissolved cacao powder in two of my drinks.3) Other people got small ceramic espresso cups of drinks, we got small Dixie cups with half the amount than other customers.4) Also, if you call, the woman will answer and hangup on you. I called 3 times and it happened each time. If you are too busy, then don't answer the phone.
Their chocolate is legit... like MANY steps above most other chocolate out there. They have a really nice covered outdoor patio, as well. Props for employing environmentally sustainable practices, too. I’m coming back with friends to try one of their tasting flights. Here I am enjoying their Lavalove ceremonial drinking chocolate in the outdoor seating. #chocolatemustache
This place is ridiculously uninviting and a waste of a prime location in our neighborhood. The blinds are always closed and it never looks open. It's like they are trying to shut themselves off instead of welcoming people in, it's absolutely bizarre. I did finally go in one day to check out their actual product and was told they don't accept cash. How absolutely ridiculous and classist. Who doesn't accept cash?? There used to be a really great coffee shop in this location, it's a real shame that this place took over and basically killed any sense of community that was found in there.Also, their outside tables seem unsafe on that corner.I tried to like this place, but it's a big fail.
Interesting and intriguing selection of drinking chocolates. The items are a little bit expensive, but that is almost forgivable because of the nature of the product. I recommend that you add some sweetener to your drinks as they can be a little bitter in my opinion.
I love their drinking chocolates and feel wonderful every time I have them :) Definitely recommend!
