### The Cacao Mill by Subko: Where Chocolate Dreams Meet Coffee Artistry Nestled in Colaba’s charming 2nd Pasta Lane, The Cacao Mill by Subko is Mumbai’s first dedicated chocolate factory and a sanctuary for cacao connoisseurs and coffee lovers alike. Housed in a repurposed textile mill with minimalist design, high ceilings, and rustic warmth, this space masterfully blends industrial heritage with Willy Wonka-esque wonder. Here’s why it’s a must-visit: . #### Pod-to-Bar Chocolate Alchemy The Cacao Mill redefines chocolate craftsmanship with its immersive "pod-to-bar" journey. Guests can Taste cacao at every stage: Sample raw fruit pulp, roasted beans, nibs, and finished bars, guided by passionate staff . Explore avant-garde collections: Terroir Series: Single-origin bars from South Indian farms (e.g., Andhra Pradesh, Kerala), highlighting regional soil nuances . Experimental Range: Deconstructed desserts like the "Cold Brew Chocolate Hazelnut Tart" bar and "Kulfi Bar" . Filled Cubes: Sea buckthorn jam with almond butter or pistachio brittle, oozing from delicate chocolate shells . Witness live production: Watch chocolatiers craft bars through techniques like carbonic maceration (a wine-inspired method that enhances fruity notes) . #### Coffee & Beyond: Subko’s Liquid Art While cacao stars, the coffee program shines equally bright: Signature Brews: Try the Nolen Gur Coffee*l (jaggery-infused) or Appy Cascara (chilled apple-rosemary with coffee pulp) . Cacao Innovations: Sip drinking chocolate (70% dark with toasted marshmallow) or cacao-shell tea tonics . #### Bakehouse Magic The mezzanine café pairs brews with show-stopping bakes: Star Picks: Fudge-stuffed croissants, sourdough pizza with stracciatella and nolen gur-glazed tomatoes, and pain au chocolat with 39% white chocolate . Savory Delights: Brie-topped sourdough toast sprinkled with milk chocolate "Minis" . #### Ambiance & Ethos Design Narrative: Cacao-pod motifs, a live sapling from Varanashi Farms (Mangalore), and glass-encased labs emphasize transparency and terroir reverence . ommunity Focus: Staff (including ex-pilot-turned-barista Wayne Oberholzer) lead sensory workshops, deepening appreciation for Indian cacao’s provenance . Vibe: Bustling yet serene, with sun-drenched seating ideal for solo work or sweet indulgences . #### ️ The Verdict Pros: Revolutionary chocolate storytelling, ethically sourced ingredients, and barista expertise. Prices are surprisingly accessible for gourmet quality . Cons: Limited seating; expect crowds (especially weekends) . Final Thought: The Cacao Mill transcends café norms—it’s an edu-taining pilgrimage for anyone curious about cacao’s journey from soil to slab. Pair a Pod-to-Bar Experience with a croissant, and you’ll taste Subko’s mission: elevating Indian terroir one bean at a time.
