ChikaLicious Dessert Club – LOST GEM
Chika is the genius behind the sweet treats served at this decadent dessert club. Since 2008, Chika and her husband have worked together to bring special desserts to the people who line up each evening at this spot on East 10th Street. Serving up a wide variety of interesting desserts, ChikaLicious has gained a reputation for their take on the chocolate chip cookie. It is called the Dark Situation Cookie – dark chocolate with peanut butter chips, topped with pretzels and popcorn. Wait…it gets better, for five us went here one evening and truly indulged ourselves. Together we ordered and shared the cookie, of course, Vanilla Bean Mille Crepe Cake (paper thin crepes with layer upon layer of vanilla whipped cream and a burnt brown sugar top), Molten Lava Chocolate Cake with a dollop of homemade vanilla ice cream, and an eclair ice cream cone. The menu boasts some unconventional dessert options, but one can always walk in and grab a cupcake or their own homemade ice cream. What is not to like? And when in search of something else, just hop across the street to their dessert restaurant where all sweet teeth are sure to be satisfied.
