"Hana Yohannes started serving tender cakes and stellar Pop-Tarts out of a little house in the Central District in 2020, but the business expanded when it moved into its new home in the Pike/Pine corridor in 2024. Shikorina’s expansion brought in a new line of cookies, with the house special bebere caramel cookies ranking as one of the best and most unique cookies in the city. A soft and chewy cookie dough gets a nutty edge with the addition of crushed walnuts, all of which gets wrapped around a runny caramel filling made fragrant by Ethiopian berbere spice mix. The ginger and licorice-y fenugreek stand out, with a creeping chili coming up from behind, making for a unique eating experience. Also try out the chai-spiced oatmeal white chocolate and floral honey-spiked snickerdoodles." - Kurt Suchman
