We had to go here based on its outstanding Tripadvisor marks. Our fellow members did not let us down! What a fun place to take someone special in your life or just go to unwind with an outstanding chocolate drink. Truly like a brownie in a cup!

Had the best authentic chocolate drink here, the one with the chile of course! Many others to sample. Lovely Mexican cups. Friendly well-informed staff. Charming spot.

Discovering this place in 2011 was a revelation: I had been experimenting with historical chocolate beverages for 10 years and had no idea that anyone had actually started a business selling such recipes. I've dreamed about starting my own chocolate house for quite some time and it was nice to see how these folks have done something similar to my... More

Hot chocolate will never be the same! We came here after learning about the History of Chocolate at the special exhibit at the Museum of International Folk Art. Our chocolate cravings were definitely satisfied by the wonderful European and Mesoamerican drinking chocolates - like espresso for the chocolate lover! The chocolate confections were also exquisite!

The brownie is good, and the chocolate drinks are interesting in the beginning, but you'll get to like them after two three sips. We had the pomegranate and the goat cheese chocolate, they're so delicious. The flavor of both ingredient are integrated into chocolate gracefully. Can't help but love the chocolate! We'll definitely go back.

None of the liquid options were sweet like I was expecting, but was worth the try. They had some very yummy chocolates in the store. Many were... More

Stopped here to taste the famous Chocolate Elixirs. What an amazing experience! The staff was so thoughtful and engaging, having us try different flavors until we found the perfect one. Loved the Chili elixir....great way to start our Santa Fe weekend! Plus the caramels and chocolates were to die for....brought some home and WON'T be sharing!

My partner and I have visited Kakawa every day of our visit in Santa Fe so far. Clearly we love it. I was actually surprised there were any bad reviews of it at all, and after looking through the comments I would say one thing...if you like candy bar chocolate, this probably will not suit your fancy. I use cacao... More

What a great little shop. They make a bunch of different flavors of drinkable chocolate elixirs (don't call them hot chocolate), various Mexican and European varieties. Also handmade chocolates, ice cream, etc. The staff is effusively friendly and willing to give plenty of little samples to try. They sell their Elixir powder packaged to take home with you too. Tasty,... More
