    Amazing cheesecakes
    Kavitha P.

    I love supporting women owned businesses in the twin cities and somehow I got connected with Vanessa sole owner of cheesecake funk I was able to try her mini cheesecake collection and a regular size cheesecake Let me just say that the mini cheesecakes especially the turtle cheesecake and the white chocolate raspberry were soo delicious I won't hesitate to order these again - they were all good but these were my favorite!!! You can pickup from the kitchen at the Marriot hotel in Minnetonka but they are also available on the menu at Crave, Cowboy Jacks(certain locations) and Chloe restaurants and of course Paisley Park- where it all began There is something special about these cheesecakes and the fact that Prince played a part in this business coming together is icing on the cake!!! Just can't believe I only found out about them recently!!

    Turtle cheesecake
    Charlie P.

    I got the turtle cheesecake and OMG it was amazing!! So rich and HEAVY in the best way. I brought it for a work holiday party and the whole thing was eaten, not even a crumb left! Everyone absolutely LOVED it! It comes with a delicious vanilla whipped cream, also devoured by my coworkers.

    Oreo cheesecake (my second one )

    Delicious! I've been searching for the perfect cheesecake and finally found it! Full of flavor, not too sweet , well balanced cheesecake

    Pumpkin cheesecake w/ whipped cream

    I've been following Cheesecake Funk for awhile and just needed an excuse to get a whole cheesecake when I live with just one other person. The opportunity finally came with Thanksgiving & it definitely exceeded my expectations! THE CHEESECAKE I was super intrigued with their pumpkin-flavored cheesecake. I'm not a huge fan of real pumpkin pie, so this seemed like the perfect solution to celebrate the holiday. Omg, soooo good! Creamy, and the pumpkin flavor was just right, not over-powering or fake pumpkin-y like lattes. The crust was crunchy, not too thick or thin, & flavorful as well. I splurged and got the whipped cream for an additional $7.50. It's thicker & has vanilla beans so it it wayyy better than anything you can get from the grocery store. In terms of size, the cake is slightly bigger that my handspan and you get a lot of whipped cream. Perfect for a group of 4 so that folks don't have to fight over seconds. ORDERING Super easy to order online & you choose what time you want to pick up in store. The confirmation went in my junk folder though, so make sure you check that before reaching out to the owner. PICK UP EXPERIENCE This business is in a restaurant on a golf course in Chaska, MN. I wish there was more signage. I thought I was lost until I finally saw a sign for Cheesecake Funk on the front door. I didn't realize you weren't supposed to go inside as again there was no sign with directions to pull up front so I partly wanted to do this review to let y'all know. During COVID, they have curbside pick-up only. Just drive-up to the door & a staff person will come out. Don't come extra early. I arrived about 5 mins early, but ended up waiting about 20 mins in my car. I expect that it's a lot quicker when they're not busy with holiday orders. The staff person was nice though and wore a mask & cleaned between orders. OVERALL I'm so excited to try more kinds of cheesecake! You're paying premium price ($46 w/whipped cream), but you're also getting a premium product. The extra drive was worth it for this decadent cheesecake!

    Chocolate cheesecake! Delicious
    Mariam R.

    Prince used to order cheesecake from Vanessa of Cheesecake Funk and that's everything I need to know about how delicious this place is! I haven't tried cheesecake from a designated cheesecake bakery but I knew I was in for a treat. After all, a certain cheesecake chain restaurant may be good but sometimes you just need a local gem that freshly bakes the cheesecake with love. None of that frozen stuff! I scheduled for a pick up of the 8 inch chocolate cheesecake and for a "mini" cheesecake, it was huge ! Didn't know what to expect because I tend to go with traditional cheesecake flavors but the chocolate in this was pertect. The chocolate sauce on top wasn't too runny and held its' shape well. The cheesecake itself was divine - not too rich or chocolate-y but just right. And the crust was crisp enough to not fall apart but still perfectly moist at the same time. Melt-in-your-mouth delicious. You bet I'll be buying more in the future!

    Small Turtle Cheesecake
    Aleah H.

    I was silently moping a little about my cancelled tropical vacation just when the lists of black owned businesses to support in Minneapolis starting floating around Instagram. It was truly a perfect storm for me to start being more cognizant of shopping at black businesses while treating myself to some cheesecake, and I honestly feel lucky to have learned about Vanessa's masterpieces!! First came the struggle of deciding which cheesecake to choose for my first order. When I couldn't decide between a few, I let Prince choose for me and ordered the Turtle cheesecake! It was ready 3 days after ordering (Saturday to Tuesday morning pick up), and pick up was a breeze! The location is super cute and has plenty of parking. As soon as I had the cheesecake, I took a bite in my car before heading home because the smell of the chocolate was intoxicating. Once I fully dug in, I couldn't decide on my favorite part. The crust is so perfectly cinnamon-cookie flavored, and the actual cheesecake is smooth and delicious. The toppings are also amazing-- decadent chocolate and caramel and crunchy walnuts. YUM is all I have to say. I was wow-ed. The cheesecake was incredible, and I would recommend it to anyone. Obviously buying a whole cheesecake is not always in the dessert take out budget ($30), but I know I would LOVE this as a birthday cake, for a housewarming party, etc if you are looking for an excuse!!

    Strawberry cheesecake + whipped cream
    Kara D.

    Prince's favorite cheesecake was made by Vanessa of Cheesecake Funk. The name of the biz was bestowed by Prince himself. Obviously, the guy had great taste. I ordered myself an 8" strawberry cheesecake ($30) + a quart of fresh whipped cream ($7.50). It was easy ordering and communicating with Vanessa. I picked it up at Kitchen Space in Edina, which is an adorable community commercial kitchen with a private parking lot. The entrance is off 58th St W. The cheesecake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream were all packaged separately to ensure the perfect assembly and freshness. But onto to the cheesecake! Holy hell. Best cheesecake of MY LIFE. The texture was heavenly, the cinnamon-y base was thick and delicious, and the whipped cream was unbeatable. The whipped cream was about $7.50 extra, but it was worth splurging for an entire quart, and it was made with love and lots of fresh vanilla bean. I'm sad I'm not eating it right this moment. #supportblackbusinesses #blackownedbusiness

    Strawberry Cheesecake with the extra whipped cream
    Connie D.

    OMG if you have not tried Vanessa's chessecakes, you are MISSING OUT! When I saw Kara's post, I knew I had to get my hands on one too! It is truly worth every penny! Ordering online was easy and seamless. Vanessa offers a variety of flavors, I believe the Turtle Cheesecake was Prince's favorite! A small 8" is $35 and a large 10" is $50. I listened to Kara's advice to get the extra quart of fresh vanilla bean whipped cream ($7.50) and it honestly takes a strawberry cheesecake to the next level! It does add a lot of extra sweetness to it, so beware. I only used half the quart to spread on my cheesecake and it as very sweet! Now, I'll have to brainstorm what I will do with the rest because it is not going to waste! Note: In my pictures, I also only used about half the strawberries provided. Vanessa gives very generous portions, so I will load up on strawberries for my leftover slices :) Onto the cheesecake: The whipped cream and strawberries came in separate containers for at-home assembly. Do yourself a favor and get the whipped cream, you will not regret it! The cheesecake is the perfect consistency, creamy and dreamy! The crust was super good too, it was not hard like some cheesecake crusts can be, I actually really enjoyed it! The strawberries and syrup were not overly sweet, which I really appreciated since the whipped cream contributed a lot of sweetness! Vanessa is so talented and you can really tell she makes each of her cheesecakes with love. I cannot wait to try other flavors...as soon as I finish this one and climb out of my current cheesecake coma!

    The best cheesecake I have ever had in my life! The kind of experience you dream about and can't wait to have again and again! Also love that I am supporting a woman-owned business!

I've gotten both items multiple times and they are consistently great. Do yourself a favor and get the Dessert Flight; the portions are more than fair for the price and the Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We recently did brunch at Hazelwood for the first time. The Monkey Bread is a generous size with a crispy outside and gooey center - exactly how you would want it to be. The Smoked Gouda Hash browns are worth getting on the side with any item that doesn't already include them; they are so creamy and have a rich cheesy flavor with a nice crispy top layer. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the Avocado Toast. The bacon bits, lettuce, and poached egg completely overwhelm the avocado, which is virtually nonexistent. It's served on a very small and boring piece of wheat toast.
