LA | Olive & James: My Current Favorite 🍰💖

So many Basque cheesecakes around here aren’t creamy-centered—which just isn’t my thing. But Olive & James gets it right: rich, velvety, and gloriously molten in the middle. 🤤✨ I’ve visited a few times, and while the service vibe hasn’t always been smooth, the cake keeps me coming back. The cheese flavor is deep and decadent—absolutely delicious. Pro tip: skip pairing it with their matcha (sweet on sweet muddles the flavors). Next time, I’m bringing a simple black Americano to balance the richness. ☕️🧀 Sometimes a perfect bite is worth a little imperfection elsewhere. #LifeAbroad #HiddenGems #LADiningGuide #Food #LAEats #SoCalLife #BasqueCheesecake #Cake #DessertTherapy #Irresistible
