Chicco

April 19, 2011 6:00 pm / 4 Comments / 604munchies

After seeing a few reviews on Chicco’s parfaits, I decided to go try one for myself!  We both don’t usually like heading downtown, just because of the high parking rates, traffic jams and jaywalkers, but we made an exception this time!  We decided to get there early, but I thought dessert for breakfast would be too much :p  So we stopped off for lunch before making our way back to Chicco.

The shop is fairly small, I like the wooden furniture inside, gives it a warm, rustic feel to it.

After looking at several pictures of the parfait, I decided on the Cheesecake Parfait. Pictures sure are deceiving.  This came with a very thin slice of cake(no cheesecake flavour), 1 tiny scoop of ice cream, LOTS of cream to resemble ice cream, lots of corn flakes to take up space and some cut up pieces of cake on the bottom which turned out to be really dry.  I really did not enjoy this dessert, I guess I was expecting it to be a lot better due to other reviews.  It was definitely not worth the $8 in my books.

      yikes, yeah it was pretty disappointing, i even mixed it in hopes that the bottom pieces wouldn’t be dry, but I didn’t enjoy this at all. Maybe the other flavours will be better =)

    Yeah I just went in today an it was completely empty…so we got a parfait and decided to share one first and then get a second one and some coffee after. But even though the place was empty they insisted on us getting a second order If we wanted to sit in.

    We walked out with the one and don’t intend to come back.

    Service was terrible and the parfait definitely wasn’t worth the $8

      Yikes, looks like your experience was on par with ours. It’s a shame their service and food quality aren’t better. I was hoping this place would be a gem =\
