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.

If you want an elevated experience, I would go to La Quinta or St. James, but this is a great option if you want a casual warm experience. The food starts with a small salad and biscuits then 3 courses (small appetizers, tea sandwiches, dessert). The food was good. The scones are not traditional English or American scones but rather a soft almost muffin like biscuit. They were yummy but not what I would have expected. The courses come paired with a tea. All their teas were good and paired well with the food. They even allowed us to take it home in to go cups because we got too full to finish the tea our food in the last course!

Led by Bonnie, the owner , it was a terrific experience and one I would highly recommend for other groups. She has created a thoughtful and interesting 1.5 hour experience that walks you through the history and process of chocolate as you taste different chocolates which follow her presentation. At the end, you go to the nearby store to create a custom box of chocolate to take home. Bonnie is very knowledgeable and passionate about chocolate which shines through the experience. Even if you don't do the Immersion, I would suggest stopping by one of the Kakawa locations for high quality chocolate and elixirs (which by the way is vegan/non-diary). You will be glad you did!

Buffets reminds me of what I have seen Candy stores looking like from the 1950s - very retro! It was a blast from the past.

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.

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.

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.
