The World’s Best Hot Chocolate? We have some of it here in Santa Fe at Kakawa Chocolate House!

Crisp air, falling snow, and cozy sweaters are all winter staples. But what’s winter without a mug of comforting hot chocolate? The powdered, just-add-water kind is fine for those times you’re surrounded by friends and family in the comfort of your home. But every now and then you have to splurge on an upgraded cup made with fresh and decedent homemade chocolate.

From New England to New Mexico and France to Colombia, we’ve searched far and wide to find the best hot chocolates around the world to make your colder months a little more delicious. And we found that Santa Fe has one of the best places in the U.S. for a cup of hot chocolate!

Kakawa Chocolate House: Santa Fe, New Mexico

Founded in 2005, Kakawa — an Olmec word meaning chocolate or cacao — specializes in drinking chocolate elixirs based on recipes recreated from historical sources. These hot chocolates range from pre-Colombian to colonial American to contemporary creations and are served in small hand-painted mugs from Oaxaca, Mexico. Try the Chile Elixir, made with spicy chilies, or the Jefferson Elixir, inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s own recipe.

Kakawa is located at 1050 Paseo de Peralta, and in addition to hot chocolate, they have some of the best hand-crafted chocolate treats in the world. No kidding!
