About Kakaw
Kakaw is a chocolate cafe in Kendal, at 12 Library Rd, and it puts hot chocolate at the centre of its drinks. That hot chocolate is offered in a range of cocoa percentages, from a 28% white to a 100% dark, so drinkers can choose their own cocoa level. The mocha is served dark, and milkshakes are also on the drinks list. A biscuit comes with the drink. It also operates as a general cafe.

“Had the 70% dark hot chocolate here and it was quite simply one of the best things I've ever tasted. Would come back to Kendal just to come here again. The options range from a 28% white to a 100% dark, both of which I'm intrigued by. Superb.”
