Byron Bay Cacao

Byron Bay Cacao is a chocolate-focused boutique and production space serving the Lennox Head and Byron Bay area. Its range is made in-house for retail and wholesale, with the business centred on handcrafted gourmet chocolate rather than a conventional restaurant menu. The online shop is available for ordering, and the site also notes that vouchers can be purchased, making the range suited to gifts as well as personal treats.

The products include Australian-made couverture chocolate bars, dark chocolate-coated Australian almonds, macadamias covered in couverture chocolate, and blueberry crème brûlée with toffee white chocolate. The chocolatier also makes handcrafted bonbons, dragees, tablets, bars and brittle. Its tablet range is made with Australian-crafted couverture chocolate, while Rocky Road and Salted Caramel are specifically mentioned among the offerings. Custom cakes are available for celebrations, with the design tailored to the brief, from restrained and simple to more elaborate.

The business is led by Richard Tuohy, identified on the site as executive chocolatier and owner. Alongside its retail range, Byron Bay Cacao runs chocolate-making workshops and classes for public and private groups. It also offers consulting for food, patisserie and chocolate businesses, including start-ups and established operators, and supplies selected boutique hotels, luxury hotels, gourmet grocers and gift shops. Co-branding on gift boxes is available for businesses looking for a customised presentation.

The venue appears to have a factory-boutique setting rather than a polished sit-down restaurant atmosphere. Customer reviews published on the site describe it as being in an industrial estate and mention an outdoor table, while also praising the coffee, pastries, hot chocolate and friendly service. For visitors near Lennox Head or Byron Bay, it suits a chocolate-focused browse, a gift stop, online ordering, or a booked group class. It may appeal particularly to people looking for handcrafted Australian chocolate, custom celebration pieces or a different kind of food workshop.
