🍫 About The Cacao Pod:
This brand new event space was designed for “roasting and toasting.”
By day, Head Chocolate Maker Kevin Paschall can be found in the ‘Pod’ roasting cacao beans to turn into Shane Chocolate.
The rest of the time the space will be rentable for private parties. Think: Ice Cream Party, Birthday, Office Celebration, Anniversary, Bridal Shower, Influencer Shoot, you name it!
The Cacao Pod is located in one of the oldest buildings on Market Street, estimated to date back to the late 18th C. The interior is clad in 19th century wooden paneling and decorative trims. The ceiling is a bespoke drop ceiling made from illuminated swirled white and amber slag glass and punctuated with soft white pendant lamps. All of the details were rescued from long gone candy shops, and the former Bomberger’s pharmacy in Germantown.
