The gentleman behind the counter (I presume the owner) was very robotic. We walked in with another couple and he repeated the exact same script to both of us. It didn't felt genuine at all. They had part of a corn hole set out (just one side) and our toddler ran to it and started playing with it. Immediately, we were told it was "custom made for the business" and for her to not walk on it. My husband got her down, and he said sarcastically, "Yeah... just like that.." as he did. My husband took our child out to the car while we waited for our cheesecake because she is rambunctious and we felt she was not welcome there.
We ordered a 6 pack of mini cheesecakes (bananas foster, coconut cream, sweet potato, key lime, and cookies & cream) for $18 + tax. We were excited to dig in as soon as we got to the car, but they were all frozen. What if we'd wanted to eat them there? Very disappointing. Also - the disposable plastic container our cheesecakes came in was covered in water like it had been washed. Very unappealing.
As soon as we left to get into our car, he ran around the counter to check on the corn hole. He thoroughly inspected it (she didnāt hurt it) and carried it to the back. If you donāt want something touched, donāt have it out. If you want it on display, block it off or have a sign on it.
We won't be back.
Update: 20 min later, the cheesecake is soft enough around the edges to try it - it's good. Nice and rich.. but it shouldn't be frozen the way it is if we're purchasing it to eat then and there.
They all seem to have the same traditional base and different toppings.
Bananas Foster - The bananas stayed hard and frozen so long that we didn't get to enjoy them soft. Good flavor.
Coconut Cream - My personal favorite. Caramel-y flavor.
Key Lime - Limey enough to tell it's supposed to be key lime.. but no tartness or traditional key lime flavor.
Cookies & Cream - Our toddler's favorite. She devoured it and didn't let us have a taste.
Sweet Potato - Their signature flavor. Weird. The cheesecake softened enough to taste it but the sweet potato stayed rock hard on the middle. Floral-y flavor. Could be good if it weren't...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI couldn't let another day pass without writing a Full review for Masterpiece Desserts! On 8/26/20, I decided to place an order for delivery for my brother's bday. I had never heard of Masterpiece Desserts and after seeing a post on Houson Black Owned Businesses several people recommended them for cheesecakes. I took the leap of faith and contacted the "Before" business hours expecting to leave a message, but instead spoke with a gentleman who greeted me with perfect customer service. The caller answered ALL of my questions, provided accurate information, and was very patient while walking me through the site. Also he td me exactly what would happen. and didn't miss a mark! I received a call 5 minutes after placing my online order, confirming my flavors, next I received a text message confirming the delivery time was okay, I had to make a :30 min change, and received confirmation that my request was approved. The final text came after the delivery. THIS IS HOW YOU PROVIDE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!My brother received his delivery by one of the owners Kenny Brooks Jr., he was on time and professional in his delivery and the cheesecakes are simply irresistible! My order was Same DAY and to receive that level of service is something I will NEVER forget. Please support Masterpiece Desserts and get ready...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreFriday we went to the Rosehill Beer Garden the first food truck we saw was Masterpiece desserts! They were voted the best Cheesecake... ok we will see. This is one time where there was REAL TRUTH in advertising. I walked up and asked if they truly made the cheesecake. Kenneth told me his story. He had a life threatening asthma attack that left him in a coma for a while. When he left the hospital he came up with the idea of making cheesecakes. Never had he ever baked them before! He said he didn't even like cheesecake! The idea worked and he hasn't looked back. Believe me when I tell you these little cheesecakes are really delicious! A party in your mouth! He has all sorts of flavor toppings and they are creative and yummy. He does catering so if you want some good cheesecake bites head on over to see Masterpiece desserts at the Rosehill Beer Garden! He delivers these...
