ChikaLicious Dessert Bar at Astor Pl,by appt. only

Chikalicious dessert bar remains my ultimate go-to for desserts! While I find it a tad pricey and stick to ordering the same dish every visit (fromage blanc), I still thoroughly enjoy the experience. The atmosphere is lovely, the staff are friendly, and the desserts are both beautiful and delicious. It's the perfect spot to hang out with a few friends. Also, I was pleasantly surprised when they secretly took a picture of my friends and me, and printed it on a freshly baked cookie. Adorable touch!

It was my second time enjoying Chikalicious dessert. The dessert design is highly aesthetic, and it still tastes fantastic. Chikalicious provides three courses for each person at an attractive and reasonable price. Generally, the entire experience is lovely, and this spot suits couple dating or friend meetings. The first course is a sorbet on a dairy pudding; the flavor varies from season to season. You can choose your main course with over five options, and the typical one is the Japanese cheesecake, which is very light and fluffy. The last course has three cute one-bite refreshments in different flavors and textures. I highly recommend enjoying the main and final courses with tea or a champion. Sitting in the bar area is much more enjoyable than a table. You can either chat with friends or watch the chef preparing your dessert. The bar can seat up to 10 people, and two tables are available. So an appointment in advance is highly recommended! Otherwise, you may miss peak dining hours if you want to walk in.

Absolutely amazing stuff! Go to this cafe if you want to experience desserts done to the highest level and quality, small portions but really great mix of flavours! I tried their tasting menu and some takeaway orders and everything is so interesting and new! My personal highlight from my NY visit. Don't go there if you want to just eat dessert or you expect a filling one, it's an experience meant to make you try a new thing.

One of the most unique desert experiences NYC has to offer. Unique doesn’t alway mean good but in this case it means amazing. The deserts always hit and give my taste buds a completely new experience that we always love. Highly recommend the tasting menu it always hits no matter what their current deserts are. Also the nicest people work here and they prepare everything right in front of you. It’s is a little small and cozy inside but it doesn’t even bother us. All around fantastic worth the trip every time!

Chika and her team provides an imaginative three course dessert tasting experience on Thursdays thru Sunday. For cake nights, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, that's all they serve. I was such a fan from my tasting that I returned for the cake. Both experiences were over the top delicious. Wedgewood China and other beautiful bone China plates, tea cups and saucers complete the dining experience. Not only are the desserts scrumptious, the use of fresh cream, seasonal fruit, and creative ingredient combinations wakes your taste buds. Who would've thought, coconut sorbet with avocado and mango would work so well together! Highly recommend multiple visits to try everything and making a reservation for both a seat and desserts you want to try is suggested. Once the item is sold out, that's it for the day.
