Chikalicious Dessert Bar

Dining in is a prex fixe tasting menu for $26/person It's like a Omakase for dessert :) Chika will pick the first course “Amuse” and third course “Petits Fours” We picked cheesecake as our main dessert, it was so light and creamy but not sweet. you can't get this anywhere. We went around 5pm on a weekend and there were no line. the service was really good and they surprise us with a nice cookie with our photo!!

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.

If you’re looking for an inventive spot for dessert and all things sweet, this is the place to come! Chika, the chef, manages to elevate each plate to something very special without following the fads, creating tastefully plated works of art with a twist. I hadn’t been back for almost 15 years and recently returned for a celebratory pre-dinner dessert with friends and was reminded of why I loved it this place so much. We ended up ordering a number of dishes. However, as ChikaLicious offers a prix-fixe, we started with a light and refreshing sorbet with an Earl Grey jelly. I chose the Fromage-Blanc Island Cheesecake as my main-course. This was followed by an adorable plate of petit-fours. I had pre-gamed and researched the menu options prior to my trip down and saw the Fromage Blanc Island dessert has won an award recently. It looked very simple and I was expecting a pretty basic and perhaps more moist cheesecake. Instead it completely exceeded my expectations. Beyond being a simple cheesecake, this concoction had notes of a yogurty tangy-ness paired with a sweet and unctuous texture, but still felt light and not heavy-handed, each bite had a richness and complexity I did not think was possible. I definitely felt a little sad when I reached the last bite. But thankfully, they had plenty of options left for the hungry diner and we ended up splitting Mille Crepe Tahitian Vanilla Bean, Banana Cream Pie Cream Puff (which the chef informed me was one of her personal favorites), the DoughYaki Donut, and last but not least, the Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip. I probably would have gotten another 1-2 desserts but we had a dinner lined up. Beyond the tasty treats, the entire staff were super friendly and attentive. The co-owner and husband of the chef, Don was so warm and welcoming. And the chef, Chika was such a pleasure to watch as she created the delicious dishes right behind the bar in this cozy space. If you’re looking for a special treat, this is a must!

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.

This place is simply unique! Their dessert tasting menu is composed by three courses where you choose the middle one. Their desserts are like a oasis for people looking for more than just "sugar filled with sugar". Here, you will taste delicate flavors and unusual combinations, served with elegant compositions.

Fantastic desert bar, that I would highly recommend. It was a lot of fun to sit at the bar and watch them prepare the desserts. The chef and host are incredibly sweet and inviting. My wife and I tried the seasonal specials (zucchini bread and basil sorbet). Both were delicious. Definitely will be coming back.
