Good (but not exceptional) desserts in a very cramped location. There are much better options in the city - Dessert Truck Works, Bruno's or Amy's Bread. Try them instead!

I stopped by this sweet little spot on Wednesday & picked a few things. To make a short story even shorter, the cupcakes are good. I wasn't too thrilled w/ the pudding cups, but that's just me and you should still try them.

It's the best in NYC, sitting by the bar and having the chef/owner prepare your dessert right in front of your eyes is amazing. The food portions are small but Very tasty. It is a bit pricey, but worth it for that special occasion and after a nice meal that leaves you wanting something perfectly sweet.

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.
