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.

Pros: Easy parking…read moreDelicious chocolate drinks - so many options! Hand made chocolates - try the dark truffles Super knowledgeable and helpful staff Cons: A slightly longer walk from the heart of downtown Santa Fe, but worth it! Limited indoor seating Line can get long, but they do a good job managing the crowd Pro tip: Take a stroll over from the downtown area and you won't be disappointed. Their chocolate drinks are unique and tasty. I've never had anything like this in all my travels.

If you're into piñon pine nuts, you can't pass up the pine nut roll. My personal favorite piece of candy they sell is the green chili caramel milk chocolate. Mmm mm! In addition to their specialty creations, Senor Murphy also has your standard bulk candy and bars (smarties, gummis, etc) if that's your thing. Why this place gets all 5 stars though is the excellent customer service. I had never tried pine nuts before and wanted to make sure I actually liked them prior to purchasing some pine nut chocolates. The employee at the counter was nice enough to let me sample a piece (and they don't run cheap folks)! Whoever you are, you won me over as a customer right then and there. The one item I saved to try next visit to Santa Fe is the jalapeño lollipop. Gotta prepare myself for that one haha.

They recommend the float but actually it's more icecream than drinks. It comes with a huge scoop and a shot of drink. The chili chocolate is creamy and with a hint of spicy. Not over powering. Do try their different items to sample to find your favorite. The chocolate is a bit pricy: a small piece cost couple dollars. There are some tables for you to sit to enjoy with free wifi. Everyone in the store is very friendly, didn't complain that I tried so many different items until I decided to which one I like.

At Kakawa, we came on a day when just one person was behind the counter and three people ahead of us. Do you know what that's like?! As we silently screamed "hurry up!" the chalkboard selections touted a smattering of available flavors while the glass case full of tiny chocolates gleamed like dark jewels. When dining in, the hot chocolate is served in pretty ceramic cups though it wasn't steaming hot the way I usually like my HOT chocolate. Apparently I've been drinking it all wrong as there's a specific temperature that lets the flavors bloom on the palate. Packages of the chocolate blends also are available though quite pricey. I was lucky to be gifted a bag last year, and now understand all the hype! Check em out!

The website has a dated feel to it but I feel that's because they focus on the product, not the bells and whistles. We even visited the physical store in Santa Fe on a road trip. It has to be good if you're willing to drive 1800 miles to be there in person. It was almost a pilgrimage. The cherry on top? My 91-year-old Hispanic mother-in-law gets all her chilis here.

Chile shop carries Los Chileros and so does five and dime. Los Chileros is a very authentic New Mexican brand of chili products and seasonings, they sell to almost every major New Mexican restaurant. Five and dime uses Los Chileros chili powder for their famous frito pie. It's a very complex chili. The Chile shop's brand of chili powder is so amazing too I'm thankful I bought the 1 lb bag of spice because I made beef adovada at home with that spice and oh my gosh, it literally tastes like I'm in New Mexico and boy is it hot. Very simple store with only new Mexico's best. Kind and helpful staff, very cool store for sure. My only regret is that I didn't stock up enough. Well I guess that's incentive for me to go back to Santa Fe!!
