    I had to stay outside of the store with my anxious puppy because I thought they didn't allow pets…read more A kind employee let me in with him and helped him to a pup cup. It was so kind and I appreciated her kindness and attentiveness even though the place was packed. Awesome employees

    First, to help you understand how my experience went, I had not had cheesecake (which I love) since…read moregoing plant-based in December 2017. I only went to Cheesecakes by Alex because it was the meeting place selected by someone I was meeting with. I thought I would grab a tea, have the meeting, and then leave. However, nothing went as planned. Lol First, I am a "sucker" for eclectic vibes, which is the ambiance that the Elm St. location gives. The inside has a large mural on the wall, it has rustic flooring and furniture, and it is nothing like what I had pictured. I thought I would encounter a more "refined" place where everyone had their pinky in the air because of how everyone raved about Alex and his freaking cheesecake. Gracious! I completely understand now. I mean, I get it. Lol So after the meeting, this roughly drawn menu reeled me in because it had CHAI TEA. That's my jam. Once I had a sip of my delicious hot Chai tea with almond milk, I KNEW everything else was probably tasty, so I (in a reserved way) ordered an apple muffin. The muffin smelled divine, so I inquired (because I HAD to lol) about the best-selling cheesecakes. The cashier smiled at me and directed me to the Bourbon Pecan and the White Chocolate Raspberry flavored cheesecakes. They were $6 per slice, and I couldn't decide, so I had her pack both. I had a long day planned, so I had to take the slices home and refrigerate them. I almost forgot about them until around 10:30 when I had a sweet craving, and...have mercy! BOTH cheesecakes were velvety smooth, flavorful, and decadent. The Bourbon Pecan was heavenly. I could definitely taste its unique flavor pairings, and it had enough pecans. I also loved the buttery crust. The White Chocolate Raspberry was rich and creamy, with the tang of the raspberry exactly where and when you need it in every bite. I had to take bites out of each, you know, to treat them fairly. Lol Although I paid dearly for eating too much dairy, it was worth the experience. Sometimes, you just have to eat the lactose pill and jump in! I'm so glad I did. Now you know that Cheesecakes by Alex is Kiesha Speech approved. Hands down, they are bringing more than flavor. Cheesecakes by Alex is bringing the "flava!" I hear there are several locations in NC. I hope you can try one near you.

    These were not my absolute favorite cakes/cupcakes i've had. Nothing super special in my opinion…read morebut still tasty. There were a lot of options and the store also had gifts you could buy for me that aren't necessarily food related so that is pretty cool !

    Came here to pick up cake as recommended for a coworker's farewell. I had never been here before so…read morehad no clue to expect and have quite high expectations for desserts due to other dessert options in the area. Honestly I was thinking, this place can't be thaaat good! I was wrong! First off I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of gift options in the bakery! Many of the local schools were represented and they also had gifts that were birthday themed and books for kids! Because my husband is a huge Duke (basketball) fan, I couldn't help but grab a cute Duke cup! I wasn't sure what cake slice to get my coworker so I asked the young lady working for reccos! She recommended I taste a few which was dangerous because I knew I would leave with my own which was not the plan at all! As a foodie, I fell for the tasting and of course ended up with a slice of seasonal pumpkin for myself! It was moist, spiced perfectly and not overly sweet! The pink lemonade was also very good! For my coworker I grabbed the recommended deal of buying 5 slices and getting one free! The young lady working even told me about a deal they have on Mondays... FREE SLICE DAY! No purchase necessary!!! Even though these are not the best desserts in the area in my opinion, they are a solid choice if wanting a little slice of cake and picking up a few gift items!
