A lovely open chocolate cafe, with some great breakfast and savory options. We ordered the bird nest, which was of made of chocolate and had a variety of chocolate dipped ice cream balls for eggs. The chocolate was of amazing and of excellent quality, and some of the ice cream flavors were delicious. We throughly enjoyed it. I ordered the mushroom scrambled eggs, which were really good but needed a bit more seating. The mushrooms were fresh and moist, and had great flavor. The service was excellent. We stayed at the cafe for a good amount of time, and non of the staff made us feel unwelcome. We, also, asked for boiled water to add our own herbal tea bags to, which they provided with no additional charge nor fuss. Great experience overall!

The staff are friendly and great, I went there for desert, the cotton pain perdu was stuffed with lotos cream it was delicious even though I'm not a big fan of Lotos. The brownies are great. Also Cacao chocolate pudding is so yummy. Everyhing is too sweet if you don't like sweet stuff don't try these dishes

My friends and I stopped by this location after having dinner elsewhere in the mall.. We ordered coffees and two desserts.. I had the Café Americano and the Cacao Bomb, and one of my friends tried the brownie.. Both desserts were decadent, my Café Americano was quite good, and the service was top-notch.. Our bill came to around 15KD (close to $50 US), but it was worth the experience.. We sat at a table along the outer edge of the cafe, too, which allowed for us to enjoy watching the wonderful variety of people walking by.. I would definitely return to this Life with Cacao location for a future visit!!

The place is in Al Kout mall just at the entrance in the corner. It has a cozy environment and nicely decorated. The seats are perfect and comfortable for a couple or gatherings. The tea with mint and ginger was excellent so as hot caramel macchiato. The crew was very friendly, welcoming and fast

YUM YUM YUM!!!!! Legit one of the best dessert places in Kuwait! Their salty menu is as well, but their waffles are to die for.
