What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Chikalicious Dessert Bar built its reputation on a three-course, restaurant-style dessert tasting: a chilled starter, a plated dessert entree, and a petit-four course, served at a counter rather than a traditional bakery case. The East Village spot opened in 2003, founded by pastry chef Chika Tillman, treating dessert like a full dining experience rather than an afterthought. A Yelp listing updated in August 2026 marks the original 203 East 10th Street address as closed. A separate, currently active Yelp listing updated the same month shows the business now operating a few blocks away at 26 Astor Place. DoorDash's delivery listing for the new address carries the combined name ChikaLicious Dessert Bar / doughYAKI, pointing to a shared concept with a Japanese-style doughnut business. No dated statement from the owner explaining the move was found in the available sources.
