This is one of my favorite dessert places. I've been coming here for 2 years. I haven't tried any of the desserts more than once since the menu changes quite often. It seems to change according to what's in season so it's fresh. The cheesecake and chocolate tart are the only 2 items that is always on the menu. Although the menu changes frequently, the concept of the dessert is usually the same. For example, there's always soup or panna cotta every time the menu changes, but the only thing really changing is the flavor of the dessert. It sounds repetitive and boring, but because of the combination of the different flavors, it makes it interesting and good. This place is good, but it's a little steep for dessert. Place is small, so prepare yourself to wait. It can be long, so I suggest going on a weekday or when everyone else is eating dinner. I suggest sitting at the bar if you like to watch people make your food. If you've never been I recommend you try it at least once.

Warning: Eating here once will raise your expectations for what desserts should be for the rest of your life. Absolutely delightful -- the dessert wine pairings, the tea, the coffee, and above all CHIKA. She is a genius when it comes to combining flavors and making them look beautiful on a plate. One of the most unforgettable desserts involved corn panna cotta and jasmine gelee -- absolutely delish! We have gone back many many times. Although there is usually a long wait and is unexpectedly closed at times, we always make a point to stop by when we are in the neighborhood.

I went here for a first date with my now boyfriend. The food was amazing, very tasty and def satisfied my sweet tooth, The only negative part about this was the wait, and having to do that outside. Although it was very entertaining, there is an apartment across the way that "meows" and screams other silly things out the window. It was very amusing and i would say to even go just for that entertainment!

Chikalicious isn't for everybody. If you are looking for Friendly's, this isn't it. This isn't about eating sugar til you're sick, it's about a small bite of something tasty and interesting, made by the owner and not a concept with a hired chef. How could you expect somebody to stay open for less than $12 with only 16 seats? A girl's got to pay the rent. For something special, interesting and different, it's completely worth the money, almost the same price as a movie.

I've been reading about Chikalicious for a while now, and have been meaning to go. Two weeks ago, I finally went. I have to say - the atmosphere is charming, and the staff are wonderful, courteous, and very nice to talk to. The desserts? They're...nice. High quality, obviously - but nothing to die for. And the prices and quantity? Just think of every joke you've ever heard about nouvelle cuisine...teeny tiny, and really expensive. Would I go again? Not me. Did I enjoy myself? I have to say - yes. I'm glad I went. But it'll never be a regular haunt.

contrasting spices, presentation, etc, this place is great. this is NOT the place to go if you want to get full off dessert or feel amazingly stuffed. portions are small, but everything is done with such detail. if you cannot appreciate detail and the subtle flavors skip it. some ppl have pickly palates, others couldn't care less. pickly palates are welcome. small bites, long savoring. quality, not quantity.

I think it's overhated. Chikalicious takes a really minimalistic approach on desserts. For everyone that screams "it's overrated and the portions are small and expensive" I say you go buy yourself a pint of ice cream and just stay at home. More is less and less is more. Chikalicious makes you sit and use your palate instead of stuffing yourself silly with an oversized sundae. It's an overall great experience, so if you want to actually indulge yourself, give Chikalicious a try. But if you want to jam huge portions of sweets down your throat go to your local supermarket.
