LOVED our visit here! First of all, the orange/brown color scheme and designs on the walls were fab. The restaurant was closed that evening for our birthday party, and we were seated at one long table for about 12 of us, which was nice to all be able to sit together. Tori was our hostess - goodness, this girl deserves a raise! Lol, in case she isnt being paid well. She is so knowledgeable, pleasant, passionate about the products/quality, and she went out of her way to take an interest in all of us and key into every little detail of her presentations and service, Kakaos chocolates will put you at risk of swearing off regular American chocolate forever. Everyone brought their own wine, and the samplings were just great. I wondered if I was going to be sick of chocolate by the time it was over, but there is enough variety and the samples are dainty enough that thats not the case. Tori is amazing and I hope she never leaves the people industry.

I love to buy my friends and family birthday and Christmas presents here because who doesnt want some beautiful chocolate treats? But its usually hard to leave without buying a treat for myself as well. Especially because they always have samples of something amazingly delicious! My favorites would definitely be their dark chocolate covered salted caramels, marshmallows and just about any truffle. If you have the opportunity to take one of their tasting classes, do it! Its very informative as far as chocolate making in general and how they do it there. Plus, you get to eat chocolate!

By far the best dark chocolate I have ever had in my life. Try the 61 percent dark chocolate bars if you are a dark chocolate fan; you will not be dissappointed. The staff is also VERY friendly and helpful. They truly want you to be pleased with your order and look forward to your repeat business. You can tell that they use high quality natural ingredients. I highly recommend that you check them out!

Award winning - everything from chocolate face scrub to wine infused confections. In the warmer weather they have Serendipity ice cream with their own sauces, I highly recommend the lavender sauce. If you walking by, stop in, you can buy just one piece or they can build you a great gift box right on the spot.

Staff was very friendly & they have a LOT of variety when it comes to choosing a dessert. Its a specialty shop so prepare to pay higher prices but the quality is higher. If anything, support them because they in turn support environmentalism and their local community.

My go-to for "special" chocolates. The truffles are amazing and the sea salt caramels are just as good. Dont be afraid to try some of the more unusual truffles, theyve become a favorite at my house.

Just spent about 20 minutes trying to decide what to buy for our family for Christmas and we were not even acknowledged by the staff. Very disappointing experience.

The only chocolate shop in the metro area with vegan truffles! Cannot get enough of their chocolate. I highly recommend Kakao to any chocolate lover!

We always but way too much chocolate when we stop in here. And I adore their hot chocolate is perfect to grab on a cold day while shopping in that area.

Usually perfect. However, nearly empty shelves and unhelpful staff today. Cross your fingers or call if you want something from them this holiday.

Great smells and tasty of course but I was a little let down by the lack of variety. There was mostly just plain chocolates and barks when I went.

They have really amazing chocolate. Try the shots. They come in all sorts of flavors. I tried the apple licor yesterday it was great.

Jesse Nenninger

The first place I had Sea Salt Caramels, and continues to have the best recipe. All the chocolate is up to those same standards too.

Everything here is amazing. Despite their name, they have much more than just chocolate.

Handmade chocolates in so many different flavors. I think I could live here.
