Our Story
Opened in April 2022, Cocoa Pesto Food Shoppe is the sister company to Cocoa Pesto Catering. Cocoa Pesto Catering began when chef Scott Geddes decided to develop his enthusiasm for wining and dining into a small business. Cocoa and Pesto are two of his favourite ingredients.
Chef Scott Geddes is well known as head chef for the former Cocoa Pesto Bistro, a dining establishment that closed its doors in 2020. Our Food Shoppe is not a continuation of the Bistro, but rather a whole new offering for our clientele following the same tradition of delicious fare.
