We ordered the Jeffersonian and the Italian Citrus elixirs. Both are 74% chocolate. While the Italian has lemon and orange zest with cinnamon and vanilla, the Jeffersonian has nutmeg and vanilla. The citrus was quite evident and refreshing while the nutmeg gave the Jeffersonian a very earthy flavor. Even though this time we didn't have their truffles, their flavors are unique with lavender, fruits, and even chiles. If you are in for unique sweets and rich elixirs, I absolutely recommend Kakawa.

Though the chocolates are quite costly, $4-5 per piece. I also had a mint chocolate ice cream. The mint flavor here is so unique, of fresh mint, which might not fit well with people who likes mint chocolate ice cream. I like it though. The ice cream is soft and smooth. Chocolate pieces are creamy Mango smoothie is refreshing. I recommend checking this unique place out when visiting Santa Fe.

My god, what a find!…read more A friend and I stumbled upon this store while on a two hour visit to Santa Fe on our way to Albuquerque. We loved it so much that we spent a significant amount of time in here sampling all of their balsamic vinegars. You'll feel like a kid in a candy store with all of the classy stainless steel dispensers available for you to sample at your leisure. It was so difficult to decide but I walked out of there a happy woman with a bottle of their 18 yr aged tradition balsamic vinegar (top seller) and a bottle of their, wait for it... Georgia Peach Balsamic Vinegar.. my god. As you would imagine, that vinegar is light colored, rich and sweet (just how I like my men). This place is a DEFINITE stop if you are a balsamic vinegar, olive oil and/or salt connoisseur. Prices are reasonable ($20/per bottle), considering the amount and the quality. I like to think of this place as a little slice of Europe in the middle of Santa Fe. Also, I came across this video tonight while trying to figure out if Oleaceae already had a presense on Yelp. It's informative and gives you an idea of the classy stainless steel dispensers I mention in my review: http://vimeo.com/19817153

Called the other stores and finally got through to the manager. He called the clerk and said to offer me 10% which came to $3.00 off of A $32 box. I called him back and he said that's all she can offer- the clerk. I said this is unacceptable. I asked to speak with owner and he kept saying he can't and refused my request each time. When he finally gave me the extension, it rang back to him. His name is Harry Doscher. He's a crook. Not only am I upset, as I have been going there since early childhood, your store has stale candy and your customer service at this store is terrible. If you want stale candy and absentee service, then go.... But you're better off going to a real Chocolatier--like KaKawa... or heck, Alsups. You've lost loyal customers over time... and will continue to if you treat customers like such.

They also had ice cream, however flavors were very limited (chocolate, mint chocolate, vanilla, and chocolate chip). Also no more gelato :(. Available were gummy candies, chocolate gummy bears, lollipops, handmade chocolates like chocolate covered Oreos, those lollipops with the worm, gum, etc. There seemed to be lots of chocolates with pinon (pine nuts?) which I believe is a specialty here in Santa Fe. But I was primarily looking for their handmade chili chocolates to try. I searched in the chocolate case but there were none. Also they had a sampler pack of handmade chocolate hanging on the sidewall but again no chili chocolate. I didn't want to buy a large quantity of it in the boxes on the side so I will just have to visit one of their stores outside this hotel. The employee was friendly though!
