Cacao Conservatory & Co-op

CoCoCo

Coming soon to The Loom in Oakland: a cacao co-op where chocolate is made in view and people come together.

Coming Soon to Oakland

One floor. Glass between. Chocolate at the center.

CoCoCo is moving into The Loom, 2150 Livingston St, Oakland, CA (Suites 203–205). Chocolate making, the Conservatory and a shop counter share one suite, with glass between them.

Opening date, hours and membership details are coming soon.

Cacao Conservatory & Communal Room

A place to gather.

The Conservatory is the heart of CoCoCo: a warm room where our community comes together.

Come for a gathering, a tasting, or a talk on entheogens and harm reduction with our partner organizations. Coaches and facilitators can rent the room for their own sessions and workshops. And before you go, pick up your favorite holistic confections, made right here.

Ask us about renting the room.

Bean to Bar

Chocolate made where you can see it.

We roast, crack and grind cacao and turn it into chocolate on site. The work happens in the open, so you can watch your bar being made.

Botanical Bar

Tonics, teas and ceremonial cacao.

The Botanical Bar serves warm and cool drinks made from herbs, roots, flowers and cacao. Sit down, slow down, and try something new with friends.

The menu is still taking shape.

Take home bean-to-bar chocolate, drinking chocolate, ceremonial cacao and gifts. You can shop online today.

A Working Co-op

Gather, make, and trade together.

CoCoCo helps small food and beverage makers lower costs by working together and trading directly, without wholesalers in the middle. At The Loom, we have real neighbors: other independent tenants in the same building.

CoCoCo is committed to consent, transparency, education, and respectful community. We do not condone coercion, guru culture, or cult dynamics.

Shop & Pickup

Buy it where it’s made.

Stop by the counter for chocolate, cacao and confections, or pick up your online order.

Our Values

A cultural institution, not a hype machine.

Everything we build is grounded in ecology, ethical sourcing, craft, education, transparency, consent, and community.

Nature First

Ecology informs every design decision, from the plants we grow to how we source cacao.

Education

Learning is woven into every visit through cacao, craft, ecology, and culture.

Community

Beautiful spaces create meaningful connection when they are rooted in safety and respect.
