Stopped by this location because I was told they have one of the best cheesecakes around. I purchased two flavors by the slice which was $9 a slice. You have the option to purchase a whole cheesecake as well and price is based on the size. I ordered the banana cheesecake and the French vanilla cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious it was creamy and rich and the crust was the best part. Only thing I didn't like was the tart of the banana which I suspect came from adding lemon juice on the bananas to keep them from browning. Other than that, I loved it. My friend ordered the sweet potato cheesecake and said it was transcending and one of the best cheesecakes she's had. She mentioned the cheesecake had the right amount of sweet and tart and she loved the crust but prefers a more crunchier texture. The space is small so there's no seating to enjoy your food so it will be to go. The staff was nice and welcoming which I appreciate. Only thing I would add as far as ordering is the ability to order online and also having to go boxes (not a gift box) to help with transport because they provide you a paper plate with saran wrap and that isn't too great for transport when you purchase more than one slice. All in all I highly recommend and will return read more

First off, the cheesecake tastes genuinely amazing. I had a slice of the chocolate brownie and the praline and the flavors on both were 10/10. And for that 3 stars. It's a small, run down hole in the wall type place that's falling apart and covered in old stains. There's no seating and no atmosphere. I also didn't see a health inspection letter in the window. Just saying. The slices were 9$ each, which is too expensive for the small slice you get. The lady handing the slices to you seems unhappy that you're there and unhappy that she's there. I asked a simple question about the chocolate flavors which only seemed to irritate her more. She wasn't helpful and didn't answer my question. The small slices come handed on a paper plate, covered in plastic wrap and placed into a paper bag. No napkins. No presentation. No box. Food: 10/10. Ambiance: 0/10 Service: -5/10 Price: 2/10 read more

This place is a fantastic shop to get cheesecake. They sell in slices or whole cakes with a wide variety of flavors. I came on Saturday for my second visit to this establishment. The shop is located in a narrow strip with limited parking next to an Ethiopian restaurant (which I recommend despite not being my style). Upon entering, there is a counter with a blackboard behind it which lists the flavors for WHOLE tin cheesecake orders. Over to the right is some memorial decorations along with a white board listing SLICE flavor availability. Srrvice was nice, friendly, and swift. This visit I ordered the turtle slice but last time I had the golden oreo slice. The golden oreo slice I had in the past was very creamy and rich with flecks of golden oreo and a nice oreo graham shell. The turtle slice was dense, heavy, and rich with a brownie in the midst of the cake and slattered with chocolate and caramel. The actual cheesecake content is creamier than traditional cheesecake. The cheesecakes sliced nicely with a fork or spoon. All in all I really love the cheesecakes here for the texture and quality of their cakes. Highly recommend. read more

For the South Bay's best cheesecake, ring the bell. Banana Pudding tastes like the real thing, Sweet Potato is a southern dream, and Apple N Spice is perhaps the most unique; apples like a pie, spiced like Christmas cider. I never knew cheesecake could be this good. Harriet's makes an exceptional slice, simultaneously subtle and spectacular. read more

Highly recommended cheesecake specialty shop with over 60 gourmet cheesecake flavors. We tried the praline cheesecake. The cheesecake was luxuriously creamy--rich yet incredibly smooth and silky. The crust had a crisp, satisfying crunch, and the praline filling with its nutty topping brought everything together into a truly perfect cheesecake. read more

Hands down the best cheesecakes ever!! Praline is the most popular and for good reason. Absolutely decadent and delicious. Sweet potato was also good. I got both for different holiday events and they were a hit with everyone! They sell whole cheesecakes in 3 different sizes but they also have daily slices as well. A slice is $9, the smallest pie is $35 so it's much cheaper to do a whole pie. The slices come on a cheap plastic plate wrapped in Saran Wrap, like cafeteria style. The slices I've tried so far: Golden Oreo: tastes like a regular cheesecake tbh. Strawberries and cream: I'm pretty sure they made a mistake and gave me a plain slice because there was absolutely no indication of strawberry visually or taste wise either. Chocolate brownie: super dense and decadent. 10/10. read more

Living up North, I looked forward Thanksgiving holidays in Southern California with family because Harriet's praline cheesecake would be the star of the dessert table. In town for an unexpected weekend and decided to introduce them to Harriet's. Ms. Robin, Ms. Harriet's daughter was at the bakery the day we went. Too many amazing options per usual, so we went with the key lime and sweet potato cheesecake slices. Absolutely delicious! Rich, sweet, creamy, flavorful, perfect texture, all the boxes were checked! read more

I'm a stickler for the perfect cheesecake CRUST and the classic cheesecake is near perfection. Once every few birthdays I get a whole Harriet's cheesecake to indulge in by myself. Every time, it's great! Definitely still making my way through the menu, but the classic will always be a solid, consistent, go-to. Also can recommend the white chocolate raspberry and praline cheesecake. Ms. Robin was so sweet. I called to place my order two days ahead and it was seamless. You can feel her warm spirit through the phone. She also called me the day of and made sure I was coming to get my order as I was a bit late lol. Now I can't say much for the ambiance. Harriet's is a tiny, old, staple, and very much in its original form or close to it. They do deserve a renovation, but the kitchen looks spacious and the cheesecakes are worth coming to town for so I wouldn't change a thing. read more

There's no question it is expensive per slice so I usually end up buying a whole pie and eating half of it. Unfortunately the cost of everything has doubled and there are a small business so they don't get anything discounted with the expenses that they have they either charge the prices or go out of business. I love every pie they have the Keylime is my favorite. I just hope they can continue with the small staff that they have putting out great ingredients. Thank you for always putting such great ingredients. Makes all the difference in the world. read more

Called to order a cheesecake, but they unfortunately don't do any holds and it would be first come first serve. The lady on the phone was nice to let me know how many of each cheesecake were available though! Not sure about the inside or seating options since my bf went to pick up. Their menu had a variety of cheesecakes which was intriguing. I opted for their top seller praline cheesecake. It had plenty of nuts and was creamy, but the crust was falling apart, a bit soggy, and didn't have that slight crunch I was looking. Also a bit too sweet in my opinion. For $35 and same day pick up, it was a decent cheesecake if you're in need for one, but I would probably try a different flavor. read more

If you're looking for some good homemade cheesecake Harriet's is the best place! It is located in a small plaza. My first time here I could not decide on a cheesecake. One of the employees informed me that any cheesecakes with a pin next to it on the menu board was sold out. There was probably about 20 different flavors listed. The lady helping my friend and I was so patient with us. She took time to explain what toppings where on each cheesecake and her recommendations. We both decided to get 2 cheesecake flavors a piece. I got a strawberry and mango lime. My friend got a strawberry and banana pudding. The cheesecakes are $9 piece. They are so worth it. The texture, flavor, and toppings were immaculate. I managed to finish my cheesecake slices in one setting. Each flavor tasted like exactly what they were. My friend stated the banana pudding cheesecake is phenomenal and she had never tasted anything like it. We plan to come back here very soon and try some more flavors. I am so happy I found a new dessert shop. This was a great recommendation from my coworker. read more

For my daughter's graduation party, I used Yelp to find a good cheesecake, and I'm so thankful! My daughter and I love to support local businesses, so Harriet's Cheesecakes was a welcome find! I called first to confirm that I could pick up an 8-inch cheesecake the same day and dashed over to Inglewood and got the last Vanilla Cheesecake! I decorated it at home with flowers and writing gel - it was delightful and sooooo delicious. It was light, not too sweet, and the crust was perfect! For the 9-inch or larger size, order at least a day or two in advance and choose from a wide variety of flavors listed on their website. read more

I came specifically for the Key Lime Pie, and it turned out amazing. Then you tried the Praline, the Turtle, and the Snicker flavors, all of which were equally good. These cheesecakes are so good, you might need to burn off some of that indulgence with a run--totally worth it! I'd give them a solid five cheesecakes out of five. You can't go wrong with anything you choose at Harriet's! read more

This is the BEST freakin' cheesecake I've EVER had!! OMG! I was taken here yesterday for the first time by a lover of these cheesecakes who was shocked I'd never heard of them, or tasted it. I am sooo happy to have discovered (via my guy ...LOL) this place. It's very unassuming. Just a walk-in and order from a chalkboard of the available cheesecakes of that day ranging from $9 a slice to $36 (completely worth it cause every bite is better than the previous one. So while, I'm grateful to have found (out about) Harriet's, I'm not so sure my hips and thighs are gonna appreciate it cause I'm hooked now! Yum!! (btw, I saw some other reviews from years ago saying they are cash only but evidently, Harriet's is with the program cause my friend paid for ours with his Apple Pay.) read more

Consider CFactory charges $11.50 for very plain, narrow slice of cheesecake. Then consider what you get at Harriet's... bigger slice, loads of flavor and lower price. IMO there is no comparison. Harriet's wins hands down. It's all they do and they do it very well. 5 yummy stars from me all day. read more

After my taco/burger/chicken tender lunch, I needed something sweet. I remember seeing Harriet's on TV somewhere, so I plugged it in the GPS and headed down. Walked inside and ordered a slice of Turtle Cheesecake and my buddy went with a slice of German Chocolate. $9.00 a slice, which is steep, BUT, its totally worth it. The slices are dense, and rich and so gosh darn delicious. I had a bite of my buddies German Chocolate and really enjoyed it. The Turtle was great, too! Lots of caramel and a great crust! So good. Will definitely come back when I'm visiting my Mom in Hawthorne. read more

I appreciate the service here. It feels like you're ordering from a close family friend or a cousin. It's a no frills situation with only a counter to order your cheesecake. The employee recommended the praline cheesecake and it was perfect. Just the right amount of sweet. We also tried one of the fruit ones and I wasn't really a fan. She said they use fresh fruit but it was almost like the fruit didn't quite set so it was really loose. Also, these cheesecakes are very, very rich. If you're a fan of rich cheesecakes this is your spot. read more

**May 2024: Weekday Late Afternoon Visit** I was looking for a dessert spot in Inglewood and remembered bookmarking Harriets! I very vaguely remembered it being featured on the Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate: That I'm Thankful For" episode highlighting the Sweet Potato Cheesecake. I can't believe I had this bookmarked since grad school and am only now checking that off my list - oy! but better late than never lol My friend and I arrived around 5pm on a Thursday and parked right in front. There's only one row of parking and it's nested between some other soulful restaurants. When we entered we saw a white board at the side of the shop with 18 flavors. All slices were $9 each. If you want a 8 inch pie it's $35, and the 10 inch is $45. They accept credit card. Since I visited with my friend we decided to each grab a slice and share. We obviously picked the Sweet Potatoe and the cashier said the Banana Pudding was her favorite so we picked that as well. The cashier went to the back and shortly afterward the cashier gave us a plate of each sliced wrapped up and two forks. We ate at the counter and they indeed were really great cheesecakes! Here are my evaluations Sweet Potato Cheesecake - I really liked the candied pecan garish. It just added a really nice bite to the sour cream spread and smooth cheesecake filling. The cheesecake was not dense at all and though it was a tasty I think I just prefer a sweet pie versus a starchy one. Banana Pudding: This was basically all of my favorite things in cheesecake form. It's definitely sweeter than the sweet potato one, but I preferred it as it tasted more familiar. Robyn - Harriet's daughter came out as we enjoyed the slices and told us to come back and try her favorite - apple spice. Another customer grabbed a slice of the pecan, so I would be happy to come back and try some more flavors. These pies were definitely top notch, so come on down! read more

A true staple in the community, has been around for as long as I can remember. I usually get a pre-order for special occasions and get the whole pie to really get my $$ worth. The snickers, praline and other specialties are some of the best around! Make a stop, the line does long and parking lot is really small. read more

Ive heard a lot of good things about Harriett's and told myself if I ever get back in that area, I need to stop in.. well, I was going to be in the LAX area and Im glad I stopped by. First off, the location is a small hole in the wall place in a busy strip mall. I had to park on the street and walk over to the place... First thing I noticed...a line out the door..literally. I jumped in, and when I got closer I eyed the menu of the slices they were serving today.. Banana Pudding immediately caught my eye and so there it was.. No place to really eat inside, so I walked back to my vehicle and ate it there. This cheesecake slice was not only huge in size, but it tasted AMAZING! I don't think I've had a better cheesecake. I can't explain the creaminess or the flavors or anything about it without doing it injustice. All I can say, is you've got to get here and get a slice.. I assume the other flavors should be as good as the Banana Pudding because it wasn't just the banana pudding that made it delicious. It was the whole cheesecake. You've gotta stop by when you can.... read more

Different daily flavors for you to choose from , a hidden gem! They take both cash and card and only takes about a minute to get your order. Got three different flavors which were the blueberries n cream , praline and turtle .They were all Fantastic ,creamy and sweet and service was straight to the point . The only thing that made it difficult was the parking lot , small little lot and street parking is always full . read more

They make the best cheesecake in LA that's all you need to know!!! But also the staff is friendly. Parking is limited most likely cause they are next to a bbq restaurant. But if you can park and manage to make the line in this literal hole in the wall... you'll be handed some amazing cheesecake. This is coming from a person who doesn't really like cheesecake at that! The best of the day was the Sweeney potato slice, so balanced and so dynamic in taste and texture with the added nuts on top. Definitely curious about trying even more flavors... the praising was calling my name... read more
