The charming farmhouse exterior gives way to a cozy country store atmosphere inside, making the entire place feel warm and inviting. One of my favorite parts was the wide-open kitchen, where you can watch the staff hard at work. Even without booking an official tour, it feels like you're getting a behind-the-scenes look at the chocolate-making process. The experience is made even better by the incredible front counter staff. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to share what they do. We were offered samples, walked through much of the process, and never felt rushed. I'm not going to list everything we ordered. There were simply too many delicious items to mention. But I can confidently say this was some of the best chocolate I've ever had. Every bite tasted exceptionally fresh, clean, and thoughtfully crafted. The flavors were rich without being overwhelming, and somehow every piece left me wanting just one more. It might be a blessing that they aren't more conveniently located... but honestly, I can't think of any downside to eating their chocolate more often. So, Eldora, if you're listening: please, please, please open a location on Albuquerque's East Side, or at the very least, start delivering. You'd have a customer for life.

They also sell locally made chocolates. Tucked in toward the back of the store is the cozy tea restaurant. They offer high tea service, though reservations are required, and that will be for a future visit. I ordered a chai tea latte with half and half and it was absolutely delish, satisfying my craving for something cinnamony and spicy. For my meal I had a bowl of the green chile stew which was decent, but the highlight for me was their flaky buttery croissant.

Throughout the course, you are served 3 different teas alongside scones, a small salad, and 3 tiers of finger foods. This season's menu includes blueberry scones/muffins, beef wellington, spanakopita, quiche, cucumber sandwiches with homemade cream cheese, egg salad sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, cheesecake, beignet, cream puff, and chocolate. They tasted like something you'd be served at your grandma's house (in a good way). The teas that they served went well with the courses. They started with a strong black tea, then a beautiful butterflypea tea, and ended with a blooming green tea (the tea leaves bloomed into a flower in the glass teapot). Service: 5 Our server was excellent. She was very pleasant and did a good job of checking in on us without being annoying. The website mentions a 90 minute limit, but the waitress never rushed us. Ambiance: 4.5 The restaurant is within a tea and chocolate shop. The front is filled with antique knickknacks that are part of an estate sale and add to the grandma core vibes of the restaurant.

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.

I was greeted immediately by an employee and offered a sample of dark chocolate salted caramel. Yum! I was very happy with my purchase (as was my pup). The white chocolate coconut pattie was full of toasted coconut flavor, and the Christmas Mix popcorn with green and red chile cheese flavors never disappoints.

You can tell there's love in each batch. I mean bravo. Other than the parking situation it's a great spot. Fair warning tho if you plan on going in the afternoon and evening be prepared to park quite a ways. Parking fills up fast in that area. I'll definitely be returning.

These sisters specialize in the holiday-centric hot cocoa bombs. And let me tell you these are to…read moredie for. Before this holiday season, I hadn't heard of cocoa bombs but I'm so glad that I do. Just to make sure these treats were worth the hype, I ordered one and tried it out. The next day I ordered several of them for Christmas presents. Now we all know that the holidays are not the time of year to be ultra-stringent about diets so take that into account when deciding to order these. They do have dairy and the typical high amount of sugar for such treats. When picking up your cocoa bombs (curbside pick up), Two Sweet Sisters will explain how you prepare these. But just for those of you who are in the dark about these treats like I was a few weeks ago, here's what you need to do: These are large treats, so the sisters recommend that you serve them with 10-to-12 ounces of steaming hot milk (or your non-dairy alternative). You will want a larger mug with plenty of room so there isn't any spillage. I don't think it makes a difference which order you do this in but I put the cocoa bomb into the mug before adding the milk. Then I poured the hot milk over the bomb and stirred it as it melted and enjoy. Others have said to add the steaming milk first then drop the bomb in there and stir it. You definitely don't want to "eat" a cocoa bomb on its own. There's powdered cocoa and marshmallows inside the chocolate shell. So you'd have a mouth full of powder. I guess you could do this but would that really be satisfying and fun? Plus, it would be kinda messy. Two Sweet Sisters offers a variety of these -- milk chocolate and white chocolate -- with typical cocoa mixes and marshmallows inside. I think a big difference between all of them is how they are decorated ... Reindeer, Snowball, and Snowflake, along with more traditional ones like the original Simply Hot Cocoa, Abuelita Mexican Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Cookies & Cream, among others. Today is the final day they are accepting orders to if you want them then order right now! If you have questions, contact them on Facebook. They reply quickly.
