Chikalicious

ChikaLicious is a dessert bar in NYC. They don't take reservations, but often don't have a wait if you get there before 7pm. They serve three little dessert courses (which includes your choice of a 'main' dessert).

There is both bar seating (11 seats) and some small tables. I enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching them prepare the desserts. It looks like they did lots of prep work beforehand and spent their open hours intricately constructing the desserts.

Items Ordered

Amuse-Bouche

Amuse-Bouche

We were served coconut sorbet with an espresso jelly. The sorbet had a nice strong coconut flavor, while the jelly had a nice espresso flavor. It was quite good. We noticed them also serving a chamomile sorbet to other people as the amuse-bouche.

Lemongrass Panna Cotta

Lemongrass Panna Cotta

This was the best dessert we ordered. The panna cotta was very creamy and the basil sorbet had a delicious basil flavor. It was a great combination.

Warm Chocolate Tart

Warm Chocoalte Tart

The warm chocolate tart gets baked briefly before being served. It was OK. The pink peppercorn ice cream and red wine sauce were more novel.

Petits Fours

Petits Fours

From left to right, these were bacardi rum cookie dough, four-nut pound cake with buttercream, and coconut covered marshmallows. They were all single bite treats that were pretty good.
