Kakawa Chocolate House - San Mateo

We stopped by a different Kakawa store, but there was a long line...it was winter and we did not want to stay outside waiting line. I looked up and saw that they have several stores. So we decided to stop by here!! The employee was explaining to us drinks and answer questions we asked. We ordered four different hot cocoa flavors. Also, we tried the ice cream thing ( I forgot name..) Anyway it was delicious!

The chocolates from here are works of art, which made me feel like I was desecrating them to bite into them. But then the flavor takes hold and I destroyed them without a second thought. I am only sorry that it has taken me this long to try them.

so this should be a place that every local knows about. They have Wi-Fi and a great space with great light and there's not a lot of people there. It is the complete opposite of the main Kakawa. It's a locals spot and it's fantastic and the service is great because it's where they make their delicious chocolates!

Another Kakawa location!! Woot!! Love love love their elixirs! If you've never been you MUST try Kakawa especially if you're a chocoholic! If Chocolate Maven doesn't fulfill your chocolate craving then walk next door and get your fix at Kakawa ;-)

This is a truly unique concept and business. They offer high-end specialty chocolates that are rotated daily on their menu. I recommend getting a flight of four. You're certain to like at least three of them. I loved all four of mine. I also got three bags of chocolate to go. The store is large and clean. Highly recommended.

What a treat! Great, bright and spacious new location. Yummy little handcrafted chocolate treats. I love their lemonade and horchata. I've been to their other locations and am always greeted with a smile or offered a sample. Treat yo self! Support this great local shop.

We had an excellent experience at this location! We were recommended coming to Kakawa along our travels and when we knew we were coming through Santa Fe we made a point to stop. This location was closest to where we were so we headed over. We had a great conversation with an employee and took her suggestions on sipping chocolate. We shared a flight: Zapoteca, American, Chai, and Mayan Full Spice. She explained the differences and the order to beat enjoy them. It was a cool experience as well as delicious. We grabbed a box of truffles and chocolates to bring as a gift to our friends we were visiting next and they enjoyed all of them. Will 100% recommend anyone we know to make a point in stopping here when coming through Santa Fe and will stop again ourselves next time we are in the area.
