Can you accommodate tree nut allergies?
A:
Kakawa takes allergens seriously so first it is important for you to know that we do use nuts in many products and all products are produced in one facility so there is a possibility of airborne particles. The primary nut we use is almonds, there… more

The sipping chocolate I got was amazing, and so was the macaroon I shared.
The employees were super nice and helpful. The vibe was very pleasant and chill. I am 12. The owner of the shop saw me holding a Rubik's cube, and asked me how quickly I could solve it. I answered that I could solve it in about 2 minutes. He scrambled it for me and gave it back, saying that if I could solve it in under 2 minutes he would give me a free truffle. I ended up solving it in 1 minute and 8 seconds. He was so impressed that he decided to give me anything on the menu. I asked for a horchata milkshake that I had my eye on, and he gave it to me,free of charge. This was just overall an amazing place with amazing employees.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

A friend recommended this beautiful spot near
Canyon Road. It was incredible! The chocolate, ice cream, and other treats are out of this world. It's a chocolate lovers dream, but don't stop there everything they have is delicious. The staff is also amazing.
Incredibly knowledgeable and willing to share what they know. We learned about the different styles of hot chocolate and what makes each different. If you can order a flight of hot chocolate with homemade whipped cream so you can try the different kinds.
Americana was my favorite as well as the spicy chile Mayan. Mint chocolate chip ice cream. All of the chocolates are delicious try them all. I was with my kids and they were indecisive and our chocolate barista was so patient and made us feel taken care of. I just found out they ship their chocolate so that's amazing. New favorite. So fun!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

My friend and I were on a roadtrip and passing through Santa Fe, so when I came across a chocolate shop, I knew I had to stop in, cuz let's be honest, I'm a chocoholic!
I was overwhelmed with the choices when I walked inside! Once it was my turn, a nice gentleman helped me pick out some hot chocolates to sample and pick out some more chocolate to take home.
The hot chocolates were all unique and delicious (very rich, so I was really glad that my friend and I shared them). The chocolates themselves are delicious! I wish I had bought more, and luckily for me, they ship! I loved the spicy ones and can't wait to have them again.
Would absolutely recommend for anyone who likes chocolate!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Me and my boyfriend where in Santa Fe for the weekend and stopped at this delicious place. We arrived around noon so got there right after their morning rush. The staff was very helpful and let us try some elixir before we got our flight. We're both chocolate lovers. For the chocolate elixir, we had French lavender, chili, zapoteca, and can't remember the last one. But since these are pure chocolate they are not sweet. We did order chocolates to try as well some were sweeter than others. They all had their owner unique taste. We enjoyed them all!! I will say the whole experience was fun because it was like we were pairing our chocolate elixir with our chocolate. We will definitely be ordering to ship some home!

Excellent service, excellent chocolate truffles and wonderful chocolate elixirs. We tried an elixir flight so we could try several different flavors. Tasting chocolate elixirs in the form of an elixir flight was so fun! Highly recommended!

Visiting Santa Fe for the day, the weather was frightful and a cup of coco sounded delightful lol.
I'd been wanting to check this spot out for awhile and I'm so glad I did. They have so many different options but the bottom line is the same, high quality chocolate. They have everything from truffles to ice cream but I was set on trying the sipping chocolate. The small is small but again, it's a sipping beverage not your average hot chocolate you'd find at a coffee shop.
I tried a small cup of the Modern Mexican and it was very enjoyable, especially with the house made whipped cream on top. Even better, it's located within walking distance of the capital building.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1Business owner information

Adorable shop in Downtown Santa Fe. The staff was so helpful in offering samples of the sipping chocolates. Every item was clearly labeled as to whether it contained dairy or not, which was so helpful for me as a dairy intolerant person! Lots of dairy-free options.
A few favorites were the American sipping chocolate, the mango sorbet, and the passionfruit truffle.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I've been to two of their locations now, Salem, MA and Santa Fe, NM. Both locations are friendly and inviting. The flight of drinking chocolate is one of my favorite things to get while there. On the most recent visit, I fell in love with the rose almond elixir. Their chocolates are also excellent; being creative, well proportioned and delicious.

What a sweet little gem and an absolute destination point for chocolate lovers.
We tried the hot chocolate with their Kakawa American elixir and it was over the top delicious & decadent, you can taste the quality richness.
Also got the 1666 Italian, 1775 Marie Antoinette and 1692 French Lavender can't wait to break into these bags of goodness.
This place gets busy at all hours and service is wonderful. They offer free samples as well and that's definitely a bonus, after you try, you definitely BUY!!
This place isn't for the weak wallet and it's worth the splurge any day.
I look forward to my return soon.
