Cocoa Chili is a 100% woman- and black-owned, casual-style dining establishment specializing in international fanfare with a sweet and spicy flare. Our tantalizing fusion of world flavors, such as the fan favorite authentic Jamaican Jerk Sauce, are made with freshly ground herbs and spices and other local and sustainably sourced ingredients. In addition to the restaurant and catering operation, Cocoa Chili Foods LLC manufactures and distributes a number of wholesale and retail proprietary consumer packaged goods including: Jamaican Jerk Marinade and Sauce, Hot Curry Powder, and Cocoa Chili Spice Blend, the latter from which the business derives its name. Cocoa Chili is currently operating for pickup only from The Hatchery located on Chicago’s west side. We are guided by a social mission to expose our community to unique, sustainably sourced, educational foodie experiences that expand awareness and access to opportunity. We know that people come together through the universal language of food. Food incorporates all the senses - touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. Cocoa Chili invites patrons to enjoy new experiences by tantalizing their senses and delivering high quality, tasty, and well-presented meals and consumer packaged goods. Cocoa Chili also plans to educate patrons around a variety of personal and professional development topics such as wellness, entrepreneurship, job readiness, and personal finance. We believe that the dining experience can be used as a catalyst to spark conversation, ignite creativity, and evoke innovation. As such, Cocoa Chili will host and cater its own economic empowerment series through which community members can eat, network, and learn invaluable tools they can immediately implement to improve their lives.
