Overall: Such a fun spot for cheesecake! Definitely worth checking out if you're a cheesecake fan. Parking: There's a small parking lot right by the shop, but it can fill up pretty quickly. We were able to park, but I could see it being an issue during busy times. Seating/Ambiance: The indoor area is pretty small, with just a few tables. They also have some tables outside along the side, which is nice when the weather is good. It's more of a quick dessert stop than somewhere I'd plan to hang out for a long time. Cheesecake: You can get cheesecake by the slice or in individual jars, which I thought was a cute option. They have a good variety of flavors. We tried the Turtle cheesecake and it was delicious! Rich, creamy, and definitely hit the spot. Bonus: They have a loyalty/reward where after 10 jars, you get a free jar, which is a nice incentive if you live nearby or become a regular. One suggestion: My only complaint is that I wish they had a description of what's inside each cheesecake flavor. You have to ask about the ingredients/fillings for each one, which makes it a little harder to decide when there are so many options. Everyone's very nice. You select your cheesecake & then go to the end of the counter to pay. Overall: Cute little cheesecake shop with lots of fun flavors and the option to get individual jars. Parking and seating are limited, but the cheesecake is definitely worth a visit. Would come back to try more flavors! read more

Very yummy and aesthetically pleasing place. There's wifi here but not a lot of good space for studying. I tried the limited edition raspberry black sesame (6$), cookies and cream (6$) and the space in picnic? (9$, the lemon meringue, blueberry one) My favorite was the lemon meringue (9/10), then raspberry black sesame (8.7/10), then cookies and cream (6/10). The meringue was such a nice texture and the berry brightness and lemon was wonderful. The raspberry was perfectly tart in contrast with the nuttiness of the black sesame. The cookies and cream were just average to me, nothing special. Service was decent and you get to keep the jars. They have one dollar off frappes M-Thrs happy hour (3-5 i think?) I would come back to try other flavors! Makes a great gift. read more

I came here hoping for an airy creamy enjoyable cheese cake. That was not the case! We got the red velvet and some other chocolate flavor in the jars they have Yes they are very cute! Maybe Instagram worthy but I didn't enjoy it at all! Very dense and super super sweet! The service was fast. You enter pick the flavors you want and pay for it. They have few tables outside. They open late which is a plus if you have a late night sweet craving read more

Don't even know where to start. But with confidence I can say they have the best cheesecakes in San Antonio!! All 6 I tried I loved!! The horchata pumpkin chai drink was soooo cozy! But don't try the Italian shaken espresso unless you like your coffee STRONG lol it's still yummy but it will have you jumping off the walls lol!! This place is worth the visit and it will most likely have you coming back for more! read more

I originally went to this location to get their free cheesecake that they were giving out for the Spurs playoffs win, but they were sold out by the time I got in line. Instead, they offered a promo where if you buy a cheesecake jar, you got a free drink. Score! I tried the tres leches cheesecake, and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet, which was great. I do wish the layer of cake was a bit taller. I do love how the cheesecakes come in a glass jar so I can reuse it, but you can also save them and give them back when you accumulate 10 for a free jar of cheesecake. As for the drink, I got a dragonfruit strawberry matcha latte. It was pretty good, but I felt like the strawberry was a little overpowering and I couldn't taste the dragonfruit. The cheesecake + matcha for $7 is a great deal! The workers were so nice, and I really love the logo of this place. Great local business to support! read more

My friend told me about this little cute cheesecake shop I had to try. I came in about 30 minutes to closing so not a huge crowd thankfully. The place itself was nice and clean and the setup is cute. There are only a few seats inside but I think more meant to take on the go. The ladies there were very nice to us and explained the different cute cheesecakes they had in these little mason jars. They do have glutten free, sugar free options too if you are the type of person needing to watch what you eat. They all looked really cute but settled on a tiramisu. I wont lie I did get thrown off on taste at first since my thought keep me thinking it wasn't a cheesecake but it tasted good. I did bring it home to chill it more and tasted even better. I also had this mix berry match that was good as well. I think this place is definitely worth trying for any cheesecake lovers out there. Good coffee drinks too. read more

Laika has had my heart for years. The cheesecakes are always so good, especially the cookies and cream , lately though we have been going to check out the drinks. The coffees are always perfectly made, and interesting flavors. The service is always nice, with the staff being friendly and fast! The vibe is very fresh, and clean but has the Laika space dog theme all around. read more

I had a friend send me a variety pack as a gift and omg they were delicious!! I love that they are served in glass jars with a lid so you can up-cycle them for other uses! Im not sure if they have their own delivery but they arrived directly to my door and I live in a complicated loft building so I was impressed with that service! I will have to visit one of the locations so I can speak on the ambiance and store service. Definitely give this place a try if you love cheesecake!! read more

The cookies and cream was the best. It had that perfect sweet but not too sweet flavor and the spurs logo on the top was awesome. The fruit flavored ones we got (Black Forest and strawberry fields) were okay. I didn't love the fruit...it's sort of like low sugar jelly. Not sweet but also not acidic enough. I don't think I would go back, but if I did, cookies and cream would be a go to and then I'd try something else new as well. read more

This was my first time trying the original cheesecake here and it definitely did not disappoint. The cake was the perfect combination of sweet and savory without being overly sweet.

1st visit. Very tasty cheesecakes and coffee. Worth the cost. Love the space dog theme. I recommend. Details below. Party of 2 on a Sunday morning at 10 am. Came for the coffee and very pleased with the dessert assortment. Tried 3 flavors. We'll go back another time to try cake slices. Our coffee order was typical but the offered Fall seasonal coffees. Seating in and out is limited but not an issue on a Sunday morning. Free parking but limited. Staff is friendly. A must do. Hail Laika, the 1st dog in space. read more

I don't know why it has taken me so long to try this place. They now have four locations around town. This is a small cafe but the flavors are huge. The staff is very friendly and patient since it was my first time I had questions. I opted on four cheesecake jars so me and my mom could try them. Strawberry, Turtle, Heart of Gold and Oreo. While the space is small it is welcoming and they also have some outside space to sit and enjoy your treats. They have a full range of coffee and non coffee drinks available to suit your cravings. They also have gluten free options and make it a point to check if you have allergies. That is extremely attentive. I am always happy to support small businesses when they exhibit this level of care. Check them out. read more

Loved this unique cheesecake shop. I bought half dozen jars with myriad of flavors for my family & our friends. We loved the cookies N cream; Flan, blueberry, and pumpkin spice flavors. I liked the dainty jars, so I can still enjoy them w/o worrying too much about the calories, lol! The customer service was great as well; especially when one of the male staffs acknowledged me and told me that he will be with me in a few. read more

They have the yummy cheesecake, love their new flavors every time, and friendly staff!

Last weekend a friend and I got coffee and caught up here. It was great, reasonable priced, fantastic service, and delicious lattes. Also it smelled amazing in there. It is on my route to work and I thought I had found my new favorite spot to stop for coffee before work. I was so sad to find out they open at 10am. I understand that it's a cheesecake and espresso place, but still. Most people want coffee in the morning before work. This seems to be a trend with smaller coffee shops and I just don't get it. I truly think they would get more business if they opened at 6am or 7am for the folks on their way to work. I know I would be a regular if they did. read more

Wow...Yelp is batting a 1000 this trip. Another great find on Yelp. Anyways...wanted something sweet and a quick search found this place nearby. They offer so many cheesecakes. What I really enjoyed was they had individuals in little glass jars to go. They do offer a 6-pack and I took advantage of it. Super satisfied that I did as I was able to experience more. The staff was helpful and friendly. Would recommend 100%!!!! read more

Cheesecake and coffee is good here. When we came in, there were 2 people up front - a male and female. The male had a friendly voice and was open to answering basic questions like recommendations. The female at the register, however. Didn't even smile. When I asked how the drink is, she just said "good." She needs to learn how to talk to people and do good for the business that puts money in her pocket. For that, this place gets a 3 star due to bad service. read more

Cheesecake is not my favorite dessert. That being said, I'd come back to Laika every time I visit San Antonio. Perfect, cute little servings of cheesecake in jars that offer the right amount of dessert to satisfy a craving. The oreo cheesecake was great, and even their lattes were pretty good. My best friend got an apple pie cheesecake that was literally three desserts in one. SA seems to be lacking in the dessert offerings, but Laika is definitely a strong best for the city. read more

just gonna let that photo of the glorious glistening slice of cheesecake speak for itself!! amazing cheesecake, not the chalky kind that sticks to the roof of your mouth, creamy and smooth the dubai chocolate cheesecake was more of like a layered mousse than cheesecake imo, but the lemon blueberry cheesecake was heavenly even before i dug in!! love this place read more

I really liked the lemon blueberry cheesecake but was a little bit disappointed by the Alice in Wonderland (raspberry mousse and dark chocolate cheesecake) in a jar. I think it's because I didn't enjoy the dark chocolate cheesecake as much although my friend liked it. So I think it's up to personal preference. The inside is a bit small and the jars are so cute! the service is fast because all the cheesecakes are already ready. read more

While searching for the perfect cheesecake, we popped in for a visit. There are a wide variety of flavors to choose from and come in your choice of slices or mini jars. The cheesecakes were in the good category and worth the stop but probably won't travel too far to go back. The shop has some small sitting areas inside and outside which is perfect to enjoy your treats. Staff were friendly and helped in the selection process. Overall, I would rate this place 4 out of 5 slices. Good enough to stop in if in the neighborhood. read more

This is my first time trying this place. We got the summer daze cheesecake slight ($9), which featured graham crust, almond frangipane with mango, mango cheesecake, strawberry cream with mango jam on top! This was so delightful. It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. You can get the cheesecake in a glass jar, which is slightly smaller and is $7. The inside of the store has bar seating and a few tables for 2. Beautiful decor inside! read more

The service is a walk in and they greet you. The ambiance is laid back. I had gotten a tripe chocolate cheesecake and a pina colada cheesecake. My daughter ate the triple chocolate and she liked it. Unfortunately she ate it before i could take a pic of it. Lol I did take a picture of mine before eating it. They are 7.00 per cheesecake. It's a little pricey for the size. I get it.. packaging and etc. It tasted very rich and creamy. Very delicious but pina colada ended up not being my favorite. I would try them again. For 2 small Jars was 14.00. read more

Delicious. It seems for all of the hype, you can't find any good dessert in Austin. Luckily, SA isn't too far of a drive. They have a decently large selection of cheesecakes (in a bottle), and some slices as well, as well as one or two gluten free items (although you could just skip the top two layers of the container and not each the crust). They have some deals to buy multiple and get them cheaper so of course for our first time we had to get multiple. I liked the Key Lime pie the best but their others (chocolate and strawberry) were good as well read more

It's a very small café but still very cute and trendy. definitely worth it read more

Laika was a fantastic stop! Everything looked delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The selection was stunning--you can tell the care and attention to detail that goes into each item.
