La Cheesecake Bake Shop — Restaurant in New York

The best cheesecake you can get.

They have odd hours and not always open during the week but they are almost always open for the major holidays. Get there early as there will certainly be a line and people can wait for an hour to get in but it is some of the best baked goods you can have.

The cheesecake is the star but everything is amazing. Some of our favorites are the Amaretto cheesecake and the rainbow cookie cheesecake. The fruit cheesecakes are usually plain cheesecake that they then spread fruit filling on top of as soon as you order it.

Aside from the cheesecake, the rainbow cookie log (yes, one giant rainbow cookie) is a must have, the bread is always fresh, linzer tart cookies are large and stuffed with filling, variety of size and flavor cannolis, crumb cake is large, fluffy, and deliciously crisp. There is really...

Quite possibly New York's best cheesecake. They only take cash there, so bring a lot because you will find yourself buying pretty much everything. The staff is always friendly and I have yet to have something from there that wasn't tasty. Many flavors of cheesecake to be had, cannoli, pecan bars, brownies, pies, red velvet cake, Tre leche.

Check their hours, as they aren't open every day.

And it is still delicious.

5/5 It is rare that I would encounter a place where everything I ordered was flawless.

Whoever runs this store understands desserts. Usually most places have something sugary with maybe chocolate to change things up, but from place to place it's more of the same. I ordered a fruit tart, a brownie, and a cheesecake cupcake; three items that could not be more different and all three were amazing. What shocked me was the pastry chefs' understanding of texture and mouthfeel on top of the flavor profile. It wasn't a party trick. They were dialed in specifically for each of those three distinct pasties. This results in that little extra, understated but characteristic oomf that makes this place stand head and shoulders above any bake shop I have been to of late. I will definitely be...
