Need a cheesecake for a dinner party? Look no further than S&S, oooooh how sweet the quality on these delicious cheesecakes made fresh daily. Plan ahead if you're gonna grab a cake for yourself because they are only open from 7am-3pm Mon-Fri. But when take a bite of this great desert you will be reaching for more. Cash only and no parking available since they are located on a busy street on the border of Riverdale. Not a welcoming store front, but the idea is just to get the cake and Go Go Go! read more

This is not the creamy,rich tasting cheesecake that for Thirty years I been buying.I was so disappointed and sad that this famous well known cheesecake is no longer,the Bronx Best.Maybe they cut down on the cream cheese.Recently I bought one and went back and told the person who's is now in charge.He swear to me that it's still the same recipe and nothing have change.Well my friend,I remember well how good is used to be.It was real creamy,Firm and not crumbly.You can not even cut it without falling apart.Maybe you are cutting cost over that restaurant that is never going to open.A loyal customer no mo. read more

Love this place been coming here for years. Yes they are renovating but don't let that deter you from tasting this cheesecake it compares to no other. read more

Remember if you go to S.S cheesecake, like physically go, you must bring cash. it is cash only. read more

Best cheesecake and best value hands down. For those who complain that there are no places to sit down...just go to many of the local restaurants --- piper's kilt, indian road, riverdale diner all serve s&s in addition to many of the best ny steakhouses. Its a factory for crying out loud!! Lack of retail space is not even a legitimate comment or reason to downgrade this heavenly treat. Contrary to other people who have commented about lack of crust-- this crust is an amazing cookie crust. It is not a commercial cheesecake that companies like the cheesecake factory jam down your throat. If you are a true cheesecake connoisseur, look no further, s&s is a dream come true. Plus you cannot beat the prices. Even my lactose intolerant boyfriend loves this cheesecake--- that says a lot. read more

It is truly the best cheesecake. I almost like the fact that it is a place that only people in the know can appreciate. Let the tourists eat Junior's. If you like classic, old school cheesecake, look no further. You know it's good stuff when you don't want to put anything on top. My big brother requested one years ago and now it's an annual surprise that I bring home to CT for the holidays. The place looks sketchy, roll up steel door you feel like you are in the movie Goodfellas, but inside are the nicest people. You really just go there, get your cakes and leave. For $25-$30 you get a huge cake, people at home were commenting on what a deal it was for the quality of the food. Hey if it's good enough for Peter Lugers and Katz's... If you can't manage to get there while they are open, the bodega on the corner carries them for a fair price and always seems to have them in stock. read more

Really good cheese cake. Best part is its fresh and half the price. read more

S&S is to Cheesecake as Katz is to pastrami. In search of New York's best cheesecake, I never throught we would find the winner in the Bronx. Not for the faint of heart, the cheesecake is very heavy and something you can share. Try the strawberry, I loved it! read more

S&S was closed for vacation when we stopped by yesterday, but fortunately the deli a few doors down sells some of their cheesecakes. We bought a two-pound plain one ($12) and just finished eating part of it. It's not the *best* cheesecake I've ever eaten, but it's certainly delicious; very creamy and tasty. read more

My grandpa use to bring me home this cheesecake as a treat. I don't know if it's really as amazing as I personally think it is, or I'm holding on the the nostalgia behind why I love it. Either way, it's yummy! I like that they use a light, airy sponge cake opposed to the original cheesecake crust. It's not overly sweet, and the texture is like silk. Fav!! read more

The flavor and quality are well worth the trip on the 1 train (238th St. Station). In case you miss it (they have oddball hours and are rightfully strict with their holidays), Vargas carry their sweet goodness - 2 doors to the left. In my opinion.... they surely beat Junior's. If you're into that, you can also take a minute to wander around Kingsbridge and admire the beauty of this diverse community. read more

Yumm-Yumm-Yumm! Their strawberry cheesecake is so freaking good. I'm just thinking about it now and I want some! So, so good. What you love about cheesecake~ this one has! It has a life of it's own (no, not literally). It's rich and creamy but not overpowering. So light and tasty and melts in your mouth! The only setback is their location and hours of operation. You have to trek it to the Bronx and do it between 6am and 3pm. There is a bodega next door that carries their cakes and they're usually good but nothing beats fresh! But don't fret~ they deliver! Totally recommend! read more

My son Justin Loves all things "New York" so I did some research on the best Cheesecakes in New York and S&S was at the top of the list. The ordering process was easy and the people at the shop were very nice. I wanted it delivered on a specific date and it came on time. It was beautiful and very delicious and I would definitely order from them again. Thanks S&S for making my sons birthday special!! read more

Great Cheesecake and the best sold anywhere.Have this Cake once and you will always buy this Cheesecake. Owners are very nice people and its located in the Kingbridge/Riveradle Area of the Bronx.. Highly Reccommend to all !. read more

Best Chesscake in the World... Hands down... no Competition. Nothing makes my all the women in my life happier (Grandmothers, Mom, Wife, Daughters...). Its that good! read more

That was pretty good! This is a little shop. Low and behold, it is literally a factory where they produce and ship out cheesecake! Cash only. read more

roadto2016#8 now i will stress this in caps: THIS IS THE BEST CHEESECAKE IN NEW YORK PERIOD. if you ever had the chance to come all the way up to kingsbridge to try out this cheesecake you would know that my caps statement is very true. now with future or do allow me to break this cheesecake down to a tee for you. "the gate" the appearance is very deceiving and almost unrecognizable walking to find it if you never been to this area. even to get into this door you much ring the door bell and be buzzed in from the inside from one of the workers. there is no door knob to even open the door but hey once when your buzzed in your in for a surprise! "breach were in!" so when you managed to get inside the wonderful cheesecake castle (as i would call it) you will see a counter where you can order one of these cakes roughly $14(for a small size) and 17$(for a large size).they have flavors ranging from strawberry,pineapple,chocolate drizzle, and a good ol plain regular one. "fun facts" this company offers online ordering so if you live in another state i encourage to go to the company website and they will shipp this cheesecake goodness to you! "overall" try this place, you will not regret it and you will slap someone to come back for more! read more

I love sweets :))) In this wonderful place, a wonderful selection of delicious sweets at affordable prices. Cheesecakes are incredible. I will definitely come back here again. read more

I've been buying S&S cheesecakes for over 15 years. The cheesecake is delightful by itself but you can opt to add the fruit toppings and it is still delicious. It has a fluffy texture and silkiness that takes you to nirvana. It isn't overly dense or overly sweet. There isn't a place that comes close to their cheesecakes. When you compare cheesecake to cheesecake with the Cheesecake Factory, the Cheesecake Factory is mediocre cheesecake at best. The Cheesecake Factory takes a ho-hum cheesecake and drowns it in other junk, hides the mediocre cheesecake to make it a "fun" meal. Juniors is too dense to enjoy a complete slice. Warning: S&S has a sign on their gate to buy their cheesecake at the grocery store next door when they are closed. The S&S Cheesecake sold next door, at the grocery store, is not preserved in the right climate. The texture is off and it is not as enjoyable as when you buy it from S&S. read more

I literally live a few blocks away and always pass the S&S Cheescake Factory on my way to the train or something. It looks like a closed factory with the gate sometimes open, but one day before Thanksgiving-- me & my husband decided to go in a maybe buy one of their cheesecakes. So my husband wanted a strawberry cheesecake which they ran out of so he got me one of their Chocolate Moose Cheesecakes (because I'm a major Chocoholic!!!)-- the small one was $14. Well... Lemme tell you it was thee Best Chocolate Moose Cake that I have ever had in my life!!! It's just literally a whole piece of Chocolate Heaven!!! So creamy, so soft, so decadent, you must try it, Believe me. If you read my reviews you know I'm pretty much as real and detailed as I can be and I gotta say it brings a Challenge to Brooklyn's Junior's Cheesecake (which I grew up having since I lived their all my life). Junior's is amazing but I don't know if their Chocolate Moose Cheesecake has anything on S&S's choco-slice-of-heaven!!! Oh and I think on one of most of their boxes of Cheesecakes it says that their ingredients are Kosher*, for all who observe that. So ppl, bottom line... if you're in the BX and you want some cheesecake to take home drive by or walk, train, bus it to West 238th Street near Broadway and get yourself an S&S Cheesecake, I recommend the Chocolate Moose Cheesecake because that's what I tried, but it looks like from the reviews that all of their flavors are: The Bomb!!! Enjoy xoxo!!! **Just alittle tip, it's CASH-ONLY when you pick up there, they have a website which of course will take all major Credit Cards-- i'm sure**. read more

Best Cheesecake I have ever had!!! I came here in January and purchased the Original Cheesecake from the convenience store a few stores down because the factory had just closed for the day when I arrived. The second time I came here, my best friend and I purchased the Strawberry-Covered Cheesecake for Valentine's Day. On my most-recent visit, I had a visitor from California, so I wanted her to get the full NYC experience, and that included S&S Cheesecake, so we bought a Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake & the Original Cheesecake. All of the cheesecakes are amazing, but the Strawberry-Covered Cheesecake is my favorite one so far. I still want to try the Carrot Cheesecake, but I was told that those go fast, so you're better off calling ahead before making the trek to 238th Street. The actual cheesecakes have more of a pie crust, as compared to a graham cracker crust that you'd typically associate a cheesecake with (if you're from out of NY, which I am.) Although I'd prefer a graham cracker crust, I absolutely love these cheesecakes here at S&S. I make all of my out-of-state visitors try them when they come to visit, and I can't wait to bring some back to California on my next visit home so that my parents and friends can finally taste the cheesecake I've been raving about. If you live in NYC or are visiting the area, S&S Cheesecake is a must! read more

S&S Cheesecake - Strawberry-Covered Cheesecake - Desserts Near Me - Bronx, New York

See all

I have to confess that I've unfortunately never actually been to the S&S factory (something I intend to rectify eventually). But I've been a big fan of their cheesecakes for years, having gotten them at various restaurants as well as in stores. There's good reason that great restaurants like the Palm use S&S instead of doing their own cheesecake: S&S makes a unique, delicious cheesecake that is among the city's best. Its an American-style cheesecake (amde with cream cheese), has a thin cookie crust to give it a little extra kick, and as moist and delicious as any other of this type that I've had. If you've never had it and you're a lover of cheesecake, its a must that you find a store that sells it--or make the pilgrammage if you're serious--and try it out. Between this and Lloyd's for carrot cakes, I really need to take a trip up to Riverdale/Kingsbridge for the first time. Yes, just for the cakes. read more

It, and by it, I mean cheesecake, doesn't get better than this. Texture. Flavor. Experience. Crust. Creaminess. I don't normally eat dessert. I try to stay away from carbs. But, I just turned 65 and my college roommate remembered, and he sent me a large S&S cheesecake. I had a piece at home the evening I received the gift. Had another piece the next morning. Then had to bring it into the office. My wife has more willpower than I have, so I would have had to have finished it. I would have done it willingly, but I would have regretted it. So, I brought it in. I'm the most popular guy in the office. For a day, at least. Thanks, S&S, for maintaining your standards, for knowing what quality is, for making it easy to get a cheesecake delivered anywhere, and for staying in business these many years. read more

Chocolate cheesecake was dry and crumbly. Cheesecake was chalky, and tasted as if it was freezer burned. Maybe the regular cheesecake is better. but as for the chocolate i would say your money. Also do not order through yelp because my order was never received. read more

I first heard of S & S Cheesecake from a colleague at work. He said that it is the best cheesecake in New York. Of course, my response was "Better then Juniors?" When he said yes, I had to give it a try. The cheesecake is very creamy. More creamy then your average cheesecake. I think the best part is the crust, which I don't think is pound cake. I also highly recommend their chocolate moose cake, which tastes as if it has some cream cheese in it as well. The only negative is that they are not sold as widely as Juniors. You can pick them up at Cold Cut City (see my previous review) and Ben's Market in Knolls Crescent. Trust me - it is well worth traveling to the Bronx for this cheesecake. read more

what a gem!! I happened to be in the area and a bind to obtain a delicious "thank you" dessert for work event. lord had mercy and led me here!!! I walked by around 7:30am and I missed it because it looks like an abandoned warehouse. When I finally located the door it looked like it was closed and nobody was inside. NOOO!! My desperation led to me ringing the doorbell and they unlocked the door and the cute old owner appeared like the angel he is. I ended up getting the plain cheesecake per his recommendation. That cake is dense and pure cream and perfection. everyone who tried a slice was in love. Definitely by far one of the best cheesecakes I have had and reasonably priced too!! read more

I was first introduced to this cheesecake 3 years ago... and no other place has matched the quality and price combination! Quite simply put, it's the best New York style cheesecake around. Hands Down. No other bakery can replicate the smooth and light quality on a perfect graham crust.. Everyone thinks Junior's is the best... until they've done the side-by-side taste test comparison... it's like comparing a brick of butter to spoonfuls of clouds! I'm all for rich desserts, but heavy, dense, sit-in-your-stomach cheesecakes just don't do it for me. *Everyone* comes back for another serving of S&S cake because it tricks you into thinking you haven't had that much. It's too deceiving with its fresh ingredients and heavenly lightness! The owners are super nice and the deli at the corner sells the cakes refridgerated or frozen when the factory has closed. It's factory hours are still 6am-3pm, they only accept cash and you literally trek to 238th just to pick up a cake... but it's totally worth it. Your stomach will thank you. read more

I tried their cheesecake at Christmas.. The cake is good, really good. But last week I tried Junior's for the first time. I have to be honest, and I have to say that at Junior's I didn't have a regular cheesecake but a Devil's food cake cheesecake, so it's not really fare to compare the 2, but the cake I had at Junior's was simply amazing. Maybe S n S' plain cheesecake is better, I don't know, my tastebuds are not that refined, but I had a better time eating the devil's food cake cheesecake at Junior's. Besides, S n S cheesecake is just a factory, you can't just go there, sit and have a slice, and that's what's killing it for me. read more

Just adding my voice to the choirs of praise. The last time I consumed this cake, I went and fetched it from the factory, and there was another customer doing the same. I think I bought from the owner himself, who wished the previous customer Good Shabbos, but not me. I guess he could tell I'm not Jewish. On top of everything else, the cake is completely kosher. And fantastic. read more

We have ordered cheesecake from S&S for the past three years and have it shipped to our address in New England. It's the best cheesecake there is, and is worth the cost. However, each time we have had to call the "Customer Liaison" at (877) 613-CAKE (2253) to give them a shipment date. They never answer that phone. Furthermore, there is a looping recorded message on the phone about some car repair service. You cant exit the recorded message to speak to an S&S human. We have had to fax and email our shipment instructions in the hope that someone there actually reads email or picks up the fax. We had the same issue last year and they said they would fix it. Guess not. read more

Im going to say this is the best cheesecake in New York for sure, probably the country and maybe even the world. Its perfect. read more

I cannot tell you how many times I have exported one of these cheese cakes out of NYC to show people how good NY cheese cale really is. No one has ever been let down. S&S is really the number 1 cheese cake of NYC. You don't have to go to Manhattan! It's right here in da Bronx baby! The store itself is built for speed not for comfort but don't be affraid it's worth it! read more

Best cheesecake I've ever had. Their hours are early, so you can also get their cheesecake at the convenience store down the block.

Best cheesecake in NYC. The decor is a bit unsettling; however, your focus should be the cheesecake. This is a strictly off premises consumption establishment. They close extra early; however, they distribute cheesecakes to the stores in the immediate area for retail consumption. read more

True story. I brought an S&S cheesecake to a reception in Oklahoma. I sort of hung around the table where it was set out. I overheard two women discuss the quality of the cake: Woman no.1: It's as good as sex! Woman no.2: It's better!! This is a wonderful example of the traditional Jewish cheesecake. (I find Junior's has a bitter aftertaste.) This is the one, gang!!! ( and they ship their cakes, too!) read more

Silky, creamy... Flawless. I have only had the classic cheesecake, and I am in love with it. Honestly I would eat the entire box a lone if it wasnt for sharing with my girl. I need to try the pineapple one, and the chocalate mouse. Craving it now. read more

This is hands down the best cheesecake money can buy. Juniors, Cheescake Factory or any bakery cannot compare. The cake is creamy, fluffy and unbelievably delicious. The flavor is not overwhelmed by too much sugar, sweetened crust or obnoxious toppings. This is a dessert for true cheese cake lovers who appreciate a delicious, quality product. When want to treat myself to a good dessert....this is the place I will head to. read more

Hands down BEST cheesecake in NYC. Forget Juniors - this is the ultimate in flavor and texture. For any cheesecake lover - this is THE spot. It's also very reasonably priced. I have purchased this for many friends' birthdays - always rave reviews. read more

I've never actually been here in person but I've tasted their cheescake plenty of times. My parents are usually the one that go and pick up the cheescake usually for a birthday or special occasion. I had a cherry cheescake for my birthday 2 years ago and it was absolutely delicious. I try to stay away from sweets but with S&S cheescake I absolutely can not resist. Their cheescake is soooo good and the quality of it is amazing. As for pricing they are moderately priced but if you're ever in the area you MUST pick up a cheescake from here. I guarantee you won't regret it. read more

The best cheese cake. And no doubt about it. Full of flavor and great deal in the pocket. It is also, I left out that it is very fresh and very just all around great. I am so glad that I am in walking distance there. read more
