Serious EatsOctober 3, 2014Order the "Bun Chika Bun Bun" it starts with a large choux puff and a crunchy craquelin coating, inside is a small pool of cinnamon butter prime for spreading on your cinnamon-spiced cookie. Read more
Avery AlchekNovember 3, 2016Many come for the churro ice cream cone, which is delicious, but the real reason to come here is for their molten lava cake with homemade ice cream (my favorite and the best thing on the menu).
Rami MassoudDecember 27, 2014Everything. Single. Thing. Here is so delicious. Incredibly difficult not to run up a huge bill getting one of everything. Very small space though, and always packed. Eating in can be tough.
You wouldn't expect it (because everything else is so damn good too) but they have some of the best cupcakes in NYC, and that says a lot. Try the key lime.
Natalie VApril 30, 2016Love the monkey bread, but they don't always have it. Strawberry shortcake is good too. Just be prepared for long lines as the staff can be a bit disorganized.
TomMarch 19, 2017The staples like the doughssant, crepe cake, monkey bread and lava cake are great. Shop is really small and seating is limited. Their churro ice cream is also good but overpriced at $10.
- The best strawberry shortcake anywhere, ever. Eat it in sundae or cake form. Then get it for your birthday as a whole cake. Indulge in its perfection for breakfast for 3 straight days. No regrets.
Linda ChowNovember 25, 2015I LOVE the strawberry shortcake ice cream sundae! The desserts, crepe cake, cheesecake, and the soft serves are delectable as well. Get your sweet tooth fix here!
Green tea yuzu lava cake is absolutely worth the 15 minute wait! Served with lemon sorbet, these are three flavors that are a dynamic combo.
Tammy WangSeptember 9, 2013ChikaLicious has their own version of the infamous cronut, which they've dubbed the "doughssant." Comes in multiple flavors, including creme brulee. Also want to try their "7-minute egg" biscuit...
Anna FrenkelJune 28, 2013Get your Dough'Ssant fix here, kids. Anyone who refers to them as imitation cronuts probably just stood on line for 2 hours for a doughnut / croissant hybrid in Soho.
- Serious EatsMarch 31, 2013We love the cupcakes, the soft-serve, and just about anything they do with the soft-serve, including sundaes and topped eclairs.
CortadoJuly 19, 2014LOVE the Michelle Obama - vanilla soft serve with espresso, chocolate fudge and tasty nuts. You can't go wrong with anything you order here.- Zuri DFebruary 1, 2012The thing I like most about this place is that U can't make a reservation no matter who U R! everything is delicious and ever 1 has 2 wait their turn! But its worth the wait! :)
- Guha ArunkumarJune 10, 2017Get the churro ice cream come with matcha and a red bean filling, or black sesame!
mariana crispimJune 14, 2016Ice cream is insane! I tried the Nutty one and I was expecting something with more Nutella, but it was really good anyway :)
BuzzFeedApril 23, 2014The peerless vanilla bean soft-serve ice cream here comes in many formats, but piped-into-an-eclair is the one you won’t find anywhere else.- Serious EatsApril 22, 2013The vanilla cupcakes are refreshingly not a sugar bomb, and the banana cupcakess have intense, delicious flavor.
Lizzy SaxeJuly 19, 2015Green tea everything. Also cake mochi, sundaes, and that ungodly perfect bread pudding. And crepe cake, always crepe cake.
Favorite for ad hoc dessert (anything matcha, soft serve, affogato) and special occasion cakes (BEST MONT BLANC EVER).
Andrew DavidJuly 6, 2014In the display case, the cakes & pastries are much bigger. What you really get when they wrap it in the back is something about half the size.
Cathy CortesFebruary 26, 2015Tiramisu mochi. Japanese and Italian dessert in one. Best of both worlds.
- One of the best bakeries ive ever been to. Every single item was all very delicious especially the key lim and the green tea cupcake.
Chocolate cookie eclair with vanilla filling is delicious!! Must try! The vanilla crepe cake is tasty as well.
I'm in Matcha heaven! Green tea chocolate lava cake, green tea soft serve, green tea shaved ice and matcha yuzu crepe cake.
James ParkMay 24, 2013Apple crisp. Warm, topped with great ice cream and the best crumbs EVER. Get off your phone and order this immediately..
Maya ShanmugamApril 13, 2015The green tea mille-crêpe is great, and the tiramisu mochi is a fun twist on the Japanese sweet- Tried the Honey-Jasmine Mille Crepe on store guy's suggestion . Delicious!
Alex HamelMay 26, 2016Get the first cone on the menu. Simplest. Vanilla soft serve, cinnamon, caramel. And legendary churro cone that is flaky, indulgent and perfect
The hot chocolate is amazing!! Not as thick as Jacque Torres and less sweet, but delicious!!
Michael KimJuly 7, 2015Stop! Whatever you were going to get, forget it. Get the eclair cone with vanilla ice cream instead. You're welcome.
Love the staff here. Get the green tea shaved ice. Definitely worth the wait!
Tegan GeorgesJanuary 10, 2011The macaroons are out of this world. But if you come late in the evening, they'll probably be sold out -- and the ones in the case on the counter are for display only.
estherMarch 15, 2015Im not a fan of Nutella flavored foods (since I always eat it plain) but the nutella doughssant was surprisingly 👍
Davneet KohliDecember 10, 2015Got the doughssant and cream puffs. Everything was very good. Very tempted to go back- Everything is good. But I can't go past anything with Matcha in. Yum!
Try the Dough'ssant - I'll gladly settle for this Cronut ripoff without having to wait in line at 5 AM.- Try the Bun Chika Bun Bun - Cinnamon butter bun. Another awesome creation here.
Miss PiggyApril 23, 2014Always something new & yummy to try. Skip the usual and grab something different!
s vApril 4, 2016Warning: ConeCHURRO will melt too fast for you to Instagram! Get plenty of napkins for falling sprinkles. Texture/taste more like a flaky palmier...Dough'Ssant = wannabe cronut (good but not the same)
LenaSeptember 6, 2010My fave cupcake spot, the perfect size to fulfill cravings. The creamcheese frosting is the lightest ever, try the premium Smores, Coconut & Roasted Almond.
Emily SweterlitschJune 20, 2012Eclair cone, just as good as NY Mag said. The strawberry shortcake is really good too.
Leora Goldfarb 💕September 22, 2013do not leave here without getting the creme brûlée Dough'Ssant -- it's heavenly.
