What if a place smelled of cacao for three days – and tasted like home?

From June 27th to 29th, the very first Kakao Mischa pop-up store will open its doors at Studio13 in Aschaffenburg. The event is hosted by our cooperation partners Tamara & Nikolai.  

Between steaming cups, art, sound, and genuine conversations, something is allowed to emerge here that is more than just a shop: an invitation to pause.

The idea – and who is behind it

"What if we created a Kakao Mischa pop-up store?"

Everything began with this simple, powerful question – asked by Tamara (@_studio.noa) with shining eyes and the vision of not just drinking cacao, but making it an experience.

Shortly thereafter, Nikolai (@nikolaiweidner) was also on board – and Studio13 as the location felt right immediately. After an open exchange with Mischa & the Kakao Mischa team, it was clear: We will do this together.

The event is hosted by our cooperation partners Tamara & Nikolai, supported by Kakao Mischa – and above all by the idea of connecting people through heart, sound, and cacao.

Why Studio13?

Perhaps because this place sounded like a promise the moment you stepped inside: "You are welcome to arrive here."

Because it has the potential to be not just a studio, but a home away from home – for us, for you, for everyone who longs for authentic moments.

You can find the pop-up store at Studio13, Dalbergstraße 39, 63739 Aschaffenburg.

You can plan your journey here via Google Maps. Further details on arrival and parking options can be found at the end of the article.

A space to arrive

No ticket. No pressure. No filter.
Just you, an open door – and the scent of freshly brewed cacao.

Our open store is free & open to everyone – whether you are already a cacao lover or simply curious.

What awaits you?

• A steaming cup of ceremonial cacao
• Handmade singing bowls & treasures from the world of cacao
• Art that inspires – and cacao that connects
• Conversations that are allowed to touch you

A place to sniff. To taste. To feel.

The Cacao Bar – where taste meets feeling

At our lovingly designed cacao bar, you can not only taste cacao but experience it. Here you will find our most popular recipes – freshly prepared and served in cups full of heart:

1. Pacha Mama Cacao – hot, grounding, spicy: A strengthening classic with spices that brings you back down to earth – and straight into your heart.
2. Alma Cacao – cold, delicate, mild: The gentle sister among the recipes: served chilled, smooth, and perfect for a relaxed summer afternoon.
3. Ceremonial Cacao pure – hot, tart, intense: Powerful. Unsweetened. Original – like a piece of the wilderness in a cup.
4. And as a refreshing alternative: Choco Iced Tea – light, cool, chocolaty: Our playful summer drink: tea meets cacao – surprisingly delicious and wonderfully invigorating.
5. For a little hunger in between: Cacao-date snack with walnut & peanut butter: A hearty cacao-date bite – like a little hug for the tummy.

You can enjoy all recipes right there on-site – or take them in a cup to go, for your walk through Aschaffenburg or back into the present moment.

Singing bowls to try out

In cooperation with Klangschalen-Center GmbH, you are welcome to touch, play, and – if they resonate with you – purchase high-quality singing bowls.

Art & Cacao

In our exhibition, Magdalena Maat Kare shows her visions on canvas – spiritual painting that vibrates perfectly with cacao.

Goodie bags & exclusive merch

Only this weekend:

• Exclusive Kakao Mischa merch that isn't available in the online shop yet
• Lovingly packed goodie bags for the first visitors and all ceremony participants

Experience cacao & take it with you

You can not only taste all cacao varieties but also buy them on-site to take home – perfect for your next ritual at home.

Ceremonies, dance & silence – the program

Alongside the pop-up store itself, the idea – initiated by Tamara & Nikolai – arose to create accompanying events: spaces for encounter, movement, sound, and silence. Spaces with cacao and around cacao.

Out of this intention, a lovingly curated program has emerged that will accompany you throughout the entire weekend:
