Hank's Cheesecake is, without question, the best cheesecake I've ever had--and that's saying a lot, considering I'm from the Northeast and have traveled extensively. The flavors are plentiful, the creativity is unmatched, and the quality of the ingredients is truly unrivaled. I honestly don't think there's a better cheesecake shop that I've encountered anywhere in my travels. The staff is generally very helpful and welcoming, with Lindsy in particular being a consistent standout at the front register over the years. I've been a loyal customer for a long time and have easily spent thousands of dollars on Hank's cheesecakes for both personal celebrations and professional events. The product itself has always been worth every penny. That said, I was disappointed to learn of the new policy charging $2 simply to slice a cheesecake. When purchasing a $25-$400+ cheesecake, an additional fee for a task that takes roughly 20 seconds feels unnecessary and, frankly, a bit off-putting. While I understand that rising costs are impacting businesses everywhere, this type of nickel-and-diming can feel discouraging--especially to long-standing, repeat customers who have consistently supported the business. Hank's Cheesecake remains exceptional, and the product is second to none. I hope management reconsiders this policy, as it slightly detracts from what has otherwise been an outstanding customer experience for many loyal patrons. read more

Hank's Cheesecake is my favorite cheesecake! It has now become our family tradition to get my birthday cake from Hank's every year. We absolutely love it! My favorite is the blueberry cheesecake. We have also tried classic New York style and pumpkin (and I'm some sure other flavors I'm blanking on too) over the last several years since we discovered this local gem! My husband just got us my favorite over the weekend for Valentine's Day. It was absolutely amazing as usual! :) Thanks, Hank's Cheesecakes!! read more

You can stop going to the Cheesecake Factory. Hank's has great variety and fresh, clean flavors. Banana pudding was my favorite. Very rich but nicely done. Service was great and they have space to eat inside. They definitely have the bandwidth for larger orders and parties. Must visit spot for a slice or an entire cheesecake. read more

We came in to pickup a dessert for an anniversary dinner, and ended up trying a piece of cheesecake while we were there. The cheesecake was very good, although expensive, but good as an occasional treat. We were surprised to see that the cake was just cello wrapped to a cardboard disc. I'm glad we were careful with the bag, as it would have been upsetting to find it smashed when we got home! The dining room felt dated and cluttered, but the product was great. Might just be a grab and go type of place! read more

This is the best cheesecake spot in St. Louis. Most recently had the banana pudding cheesecake and it was delicious. Hank's is sold out of several restaurants around the city and I was at one. They had plain, chocolate raspberry, and banana pudding available. The store itself is very cute. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Sadly, I have been visiting Hank's for 26 yrs. I had not been there in over a year, but thought it's time to have another Turtle cheesecake that I have eaten so many times, succulently enjoying every bite. I met Hank, and his life long partner. Such a fine person and beyond delicious cheesecakes. However, the 7" Turtle cheesecake that I requested, has changed. I was shocked. It appeared dehydrated. I asked the girl helping me, " I did not see any freshly applied toppings, that used to be part of the beauty of Hank's extra special care given to his cheesecakes". She said, "Yes, the toppings are there". I saw a faint application of what appeared to be a topping previously applied. The Turtle cheesecake that I ordered was below mediocrity. for $39.00, 7", dehydrated cheesecake was less superior than Walmart. I am devastated! What was a legen, now less than Walmart. Your standards, destroyed. Maybe Hank needs to re-evaluate his quality that once was, is no longer. read more

A local legend. And honestly some of the best customer service I've ever seen. I don't even live in STL anymore, I went to send a friend a "treat" after a long day and opted to use Uber eats to have Hank's delivered. When they didn't have the item, they didn't cancel my Uber order (like most restaurants do). They called me, talked options and had the order ready for the driver to be delivered within 30 minutes. It simply reminded me how much I love their people as much I love their product and I hope that the St. Louis community continues to cherish Hank's in the way they deserve. This is a must have for folks who love cheesecake. I'd recreate the scene from "Friends" and eat it off the floor if I had to. Thank you, Hank's team. You made my day today and I miss having you as a local option now that I live in Florida. read more

Fantastic cheesecake. We were visiting for a family reunion. Original is my suggestion.

Had a slice of Hank's caramel amaretto for my birthday. Of course, the phone did not eat first. But, the cheesecake was decadent. Much lighter than a lot of other cheesecakes out there which, in my opinion, was a welcome surprise. The saltiness of the caramel paired perfectly with the creaminess of the cheesecake. The amaretto adds a wonderful flavor that I cannot quite articulate. Delicious, nonetheless. The chocolatey crumb crust was also wonderful, I only wish it had a bit thicker layer to help its flavor shine through a bit more. Additionally, the single slice is a bit small, but that is okay. All in all, a fantastic cheesecake, I hope to go back soon and try some additional flavors! read more

I don't usually have cheesecake unless it's from a specific place in NYC, but my friend convinced me to give this place a shot and I have no regrets! My favorite part is the diverse selections of cheesecakes and I wanted to just sample a bit of each one. My favorite was the chocolate covered strawberry followed by the strawberry shortcake (this one has some sponge cake in it so not completely a cheesecake). I wonder if they change their selection, I guess I have to come back to check read more

The raspberry cheesecake was rich, smooth, and just tart enough crust was firm and the berry swirl added a nice pop..

Awesome place! Finally had the pleasure of stopping in after Hanks has been on my list for years. We ordered 6 slices because we were quite literally overwhelmed by the huge selection. We got the banana pudding, tiramisu, chocolate chip, apple, German chocolate, and another one that I forgot lol. All were incredible! Sizes are a bit smaller than Cheesecake Factory but prices are cheaper as well. You can tell these are so fresh and made with so much love. I will be back for a full one soon! read more

I wanted to order cheesecake long distance from OR for my daughter who lives nearby. I saw Hank's favorable reviews and decided to give them a go. I phoned in an order to be picked up by the kiddo the following day. The lady who took my order was extremely friendly and helpful, and the prices very reasonable. I ordered a dozen mini assorted cakes, as well as a side of strawberry sauce. My daughter said the lil cakes were adorable upon pick-up, so don't judge their appearance by my pic, as they got a bit jumbled in the car! My daughter and her companion greatly enjoyed the cheesecakes, letting me know they were all yummy and they planned to return for more soon! Nice job Hank's...and thanks for assisting me with my long-distance order. read more

First time at Hanks and such a great experience. I bought the caramel macchiato, the hot cocoa and Strawberry shortcake. All the cheesecakes had such rich flavors. My favorite was the caramel macchiato! The hot cocoa tasted like hot chocolate, and the whipped cream had the taste of marshmallows, although I was told it wasn't marshmallows. The caramel macchiato was absolutely divine, it was like having a cup of it in cheesecake form. I can't wait to try different flavors read more

Hank's Cheesecakes are a classic! The cheesecake is amazing and there is a lot of variety! The one pictured was a chef's selection that consisted of original, chocolate chip, orange dreamsicle, key lime pie, I think it was cookie dough, and strawberry. The orange was my favorite, but all were equally as enjoyable! read more

Hanks cheesecake was a fun one. We got a slice of blueberry, original, snickers, and caramel amaretto. The blueberry was kind of meh, (not very much cream cheese flavor) the original was much denser and flavorful (kind of like the difference between regular and New York style cheesecake). The snickers and amaretto were rich, dense, and true to their name. Nothing was overly sweet which is always my worry with cheesecake. Well done! read more

If you were to tell me that cheesecakes are the best dessert, I wouldn't argue; in fact, I would agree wholeheartedly. Starting with that premise in mind, I'm happy to say Hank's does not disappoint. I've been curious about Hank's Cheesecakes for many years when driving to and from The Loop down Big Bend. My first visit was not only marked by delectable German Chocolate Cheesecake, but outstanding customer service. Placing a pick up order over the phone was a quick and painless process, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming when I arrived. I should also mention that I love the concept of the mini-cheesecake: Peanut Butter Chocolate is wonderful bite-sized. Hank's Cheesecakes is definitely worth a visit when in Richmond Heights, and another solid reason cheesecakes reign supreme. read more

We came here the first night of our trip because we wanted something sweet, but something we could take back to the house. Holy cow. The selection. The service. The absolute best cheesecake we have had, and the prices were fantastic. Husband got the apple strudel, and I got the peanut butter chocolate and the turtle, and all three were fantastic. No pictures because we inhaled everything, but we can't wait to come back the next time we are here! read more

Great spot for cheesecake! I stopped in here to grab a last minute dessert. The gal at the counter was very helpful with talking me through my options without making me feel rushed. I ended up with four different slices of cheesecake for my guests and everyone LOVED their flavor. read more

Surprisingly not the best cheesecake I've ever had. I got pumpkin, double chocolate, and banana pudding slices. All the slices were light and fluffy, which I like but they didn't have real strong flavors. Also, the crust on all 3 slices were paper thin. I'd prefer a thicker crust, especially the oreo crust on the double chocolate. The pumpkin was more of a pumpkin spice flavor than actual pumpkin unfortunately. The banana pudding tasted too much like just fluffy whipped cream. The double chocolate wasn't very sweet or rich tasting so it wasn't as satisfying as a dessert should be. read more

We got 5 pieces of cheesecake and only 31$. Can you imagine the bill at another competitor. All were super tasty but I got the chocolate tort and YUMMMY!
