At nearly $2 per ounce, I expected a serving of cheesecake to be a life-changing experience. While it was good, I can't help but feel that the price tag isn’t worth it. I understand that quality ingredients come at a cost, but $7 for a small taster or $12 for a cinnamon roll? If you want to bring a 9”cheesecake home for a birthday or other celebration $84 to $120 for regular or gluten free? That is still $9+ per serving.
As if the pricing wasn't enough of a shock, my experience was further marred by the argumentative ownership. When I politely and genuinely expressed surprise at the cost, I was met with a defensive and frankly rude response from the owner, who insisted that "you get what you pay for" I appreciate the passion for the product and understand that running a business isn’t easy, a little humility and customer service goes a long way. Maybe they hear it all the time. I felt more like I was in a debate club than a friendly cheesecake shop! Admittedly, I should have checked the online menu before visiting so that is on me.
If you’re ready to shell out a small fortune for a mini cheesecake serving and don’t mind a side of confrontation, Cherry’s Cheesecakes might be your place. Otherwise there are lots of options in the old town neighborhood for more affordable and...
Read moreI love supporting new local businesses in Lafayette. What is upsetting is spending $16.00 on 2 x 4.5 oz of cheesecake. Frozen solid, no expiration date...how long were they in the deep freeze. I work hard for my earnings and would hope vendors would respect and honor that fact and price their product fairly... I want to respond to the owners answer. Your products don't have the ingredients listed except the Logan Traditional. No sell by date, the whip cream was an odd color; the cheesecake appeared and tasted old. The 4.5 oz cup had a clump of something like cookie, 3 tablespoons of filling, the remaining 1/3rd was whipped cream. Thank you for giving me permission to walk away; what I ask of you is to label each product with what ingredients make up each product, listing ingredients most to least and the date the product was created. Selling edibles to the public is govern by strict food and drug regulations to protect those who have severe reactions to certain...
Read moreHands down the best cheesecake I’ve ever tasted. For me, there was life before Cherry’s cheesecake and now my eyes have been opened. The whipped topping and cheesecake are out of this world, but for me it’s the crust that really sets her a level above.
Do yourself a favor and stop in for Cherry’s baked goods, she’s truly an expert at her craft. If you’re lucky enough, her husband “C” will be BBQing in the parking lot (check their FB for when he will be bbqing in the summer). C’s bbq is a perfect complement to Cherry’s sweet treats
BTW - I pre-ordered a smoked turkey (plus a large Logan’s Original cheesecake and sweet potato pie) for Thanksgiving last year and it was the best thanksgiving meal I’ve ever had!
Beyond the food, Cherry and C are just wonderful people. They put that extra time and love into their food...
