I'm not sure what all the other reviews are talking about it. This was my first time at Kee's and the owner seemed just fine. Maybe a little shy, a touch persnickety, but definitely not rude. I was buying these chocolates as a gift for someone and she was more than happy to help me pick out flavors that would go well together and suit my friend's tastes. She was very attentive and made sure to ask what ingredients my friend is allergic to. I also bought some chocolates for myself and I didn't feel that they tasted the same at all. I was immediately able to pick out the main ingredient for each piece. And all the pieces were smooth and creamy. I was also surprised that one of the reviews mentioned Jacques Torres as a great place....that seems like a generic place to go for someone who claims to spend several hundred euros on chocolate. You may as well go to Dylan's Candy Bar and call it great chocolate. As for the macaroons, the flavor combination of the macaroons was really delicious (i had the rosewater lychee and kaffir lime), but they did fall apart as the other reviewer said. However, there are many varieties of macaroons and traditional macaroons are related to meringues and so they are generally light and crumbly. I'm pretty sure these are the type of macaroons that Kee's makes. So if you're looking for chewy and dense coconut macaroons then this is not the place to go. But if you're looking for traditionally made macaroons (and great chocolates) with unique flavors, then definitely check out Kee's.
Pros: Humbling interior, nice owner, delicious chocolates and macaroons
Cons: A little pricey

The chocolate is ok and therefore cannot bring myself to give it a terrible rating. The service is not good, the owner is so dry and unpleasant; only interested in leaving the premises as soon as possible in order to avoid any sort of conversation. Besides which, my truffle was coated in the worst possible untempered chocolate ever. You just shouldn't allow bloomed chocolate to go out for sale, period!
