kakao — Restaurant in Seattle

I went to Kakao to meet up with a friend for coffee. It was an alright place. The hot chocolate that I had was great. I went during rush hour time, and surprisingly the place was not crowded at all. The customer service was a different story.

MEN: stop here and get something for your wife, she'll adore the quality chocolates they have here that are hard to fund at the grocery store. I was shocked to find a 100% cocoa chocolate bar. I bought it and although it's a required taste, ill eat a square every night to get my chocolate fix and won't feel like...

Being open at the posted hours is kind of an "If we feel like it" thing, you can never be sure when the doors will be locked any given day, and they're closed on the weekends for some reason (the space is hypothetically used for weekend events but they rarely happen). There's also no way to reach kakao to find out if they're open or not beforehand, so you just have to trek down there ready to be disappointed. Phone rings to a machine, fb and email go unanswered. When they're...
