    Founded by Fred Schuster in 1960, S & S CHEESECAKE is still family owned and located in our original location on 238th St. in the Bronx. Fred conducted experiments until he perfected the cheesecake recipe. The same recipe is in use today. All cakes are baked with the craftsmanship of an artisan, using only the finest ingredients. S&S Cheesecake's founder is an innovative, culinary expert whose work ethic and dedication to his customers remains his life's mission. "He ain't lyin," I have been going to this wonderful cheesecake shop since its inception and when I tell you this is the best cream cheese cake I've ever tasted I'm not exaggerating. It used to be a solitary door in a quiet Bronx neighborhood, I would ring the bell and someone would come out and let you into a little vestibule , there he would come out with a warm beautiful cheesecake just out of the oven. Delicious looking abs the flavor to die for. Still going back. Whenever I need to bring something to a party I take an hour long trek to the Bronx where I grew up and get an exquisite bakers delight. Now they have a small cafe where you can sit and enjoy. Ya gotta go at least once. You will go again.

    Small cheesecake $17. ! Must get !

    Believe the hype, the cheesecake is perfect. CASH ONLY. Small, traditional cheesecake is about $17. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? 100%. Creamy, not too sweet, silky texture. Not a crack in sight. Crust stays on each piece and bite. During the week they allow people to come and pick up, when i came they were slow so you have to ring the bell or knock hard to be let in. Fruit cheesecakes are $20ish.

    I'll make this short and sweet. The best damn cheesecake in NYC, maybe the entire United States, possibly the world.

    So so cheesecake. On par with cheese cake from any local bakery. Not at all on par with Junior's as some people claim.

    Ask the Community - S&S Cheesecake

    I want to come on a Saturday for a small chessecake, can you tell me if there are store hours for that day?, thank you. I called and I got answering machine.

    In case you haven't discovered already, they are closed on Saturday and Sunday and close at 3 PM daily. But you can always buy the cheesecakes at the market next door.

    Do they make Italian cheesecake?

    Surprised no one has answered this yet, but, no. They only make a NY style cream cheese cake but it is one of the best around. We still go down to the Bronx to buy it.

    Price for shipping a small and a large plain cheesecake to Ca 94530?

    I am not sure if they will be able to ship to CA, but if you reach out to them at (718) 549-3888 between the hours of 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM (ET) Mondays - Fridays.… 

    How much is the small size? & large size

    $70 for a 7' cake $90 for a 11' cake plus $20 for shipping

    Can you buy them pre sliced?

    Yes, but it costs a bit more. Not sure if all are available pre-sliced but I know the plain always has been.

    A few days ago I went to the avenue to buy some bread. Much to my surprise, the selection was off…read morethe charts! Chocolate bread, jalapeño, cranberry walnut, to mention a few. I purchased a few things and then I also got some of their biscotti with the almond. By the time I drove back up to my home,half of the bag was eaten ..... The young lady, Marina, was so kind and helpful and accommodating. Great place. Sandra

    One of the top Italian bakeries in NY and an absolute must stop when visiting Arthur Ave. You walk…read morein and you feel like you just stepped back in time to your childhood when more of these Italian American bakeries existed. Bread, cookies, and pastries are all showcased and it smells great. If you go during the afternoon during the week it won't be as crowded as it can get on the weekend. Everything here is terrific. Whenever I'm in the area I'll bring home a pound of assorted Italian cookies, I'll also grab rainbow cookies and cannolis. Their cannolis are terrific, some of the best in NY. Yes, NY, not just NYC. I think what makes their cannoli stand out amongst some of the best is their shell. It's always fresh and crispy. Their filling is a little more vanilla forward compared to other NY institutions version of the cannoli, so keep that in mind when trying one. I'll put it to you this way, if you like Italian pastries, especially cannolis make this place a destination to visit, give them a try and see how it ranks up compared to your favorites. And while you're there, take in the rest of Arthur Ave! Oh, I almost forgot. They have what my husband says are the best savoiardi cookies in the state. They're always fresh, soft, slightly chewy in the middle with a delicately crispy exterior. They're to die for with a hot cup of coffee.

    This is a well known bakery right in the heart of the South Bronx! (BX Stand Up!) I've brought the…read moresame cake from this place years ago. The customer service, the cake, & the taste was all the same as what it was before. AMAZING! I got the fresh strawberry shortcake with crackers all around for a friend's birthday. I was able to get the bakery to write on the cake and buy candles for the cake as well. They boxed it up for me nicely and safely so the cake wouldn't mess up. When I brought the cake to the party it was the main attraction at the end of the night. The cake was sliced and served. Once the guest had that first bite they were taken aback at how BOMB the cake was! They said it was the perfect kind of sweet. Not overly sweet like other cakes and how it tasted so fresh and delicious. Awww man I need you to experience it for yourself! This cake in particular has me in a chokehold! Their other pastries also look equally amazing on display. COME TO ARTUSO!

    Stopped by Artuso after eating at a few stops on and around Arthur Ave., and was excited to satisfy…read morethe sweet tooth. As soon as you step inside, you're taken by how large and how clean Artuso is. It is very well lit, and all of these things make it very easy for you to focus on those glass cases full of sweets. Their selection is extremely large and contains all that you would expect (biscotti, rainbow cookies, b&w's, pignolis, etc) as well as Italian ice and various other treats. The line moved fast, and the workers were extremely helpful as we ordered our rainbow cookies and pignoli cookies with cannoli cream. The pignoli were great...they had that signature almond taste, just right. Very enjoyable. And the cannoli cream center was a nice touch, and very good as well. The rainbow cookies were ok. Admittedly, I have a very high bar for rainbows, so I hold them to a high standard...and they were good, just not as flavorful/almondy as I particularly prefer. In all, Artuso is a great stop. A perfect post lunch/dinner spot to grab a quick snack to cap off a meal. Definitely check it out.
