The cheesecakes here are really good and the young lady at the front was very nice. It also is a cute little spot you can sit in if it's only 2 or 3 of you. I couldn't taste much banana in the banana pudding one but as a plain cheesecake it's really good. I believe the other one I had was strawberry shortcake and it was just a little sweeter than I would like but still good. The only con was it was a bit heavy. I like my cheesecake to be light. The pro to that is that it lasted me a few days eating small portions.
If you have a sweet tooth look no further and come here. This cheesecake might the best one I have ever had. I opted for chocolate chip and my boyfriend tried the cinnamon roll and we are both VERY happy customers. Free 30 minute parking across the street, quick service, amazing food.
I don't know how I forgot to leave a review for The Cheesecake Lady. I have visited this place quite a few times. It has become a staple and go to for my cheesecake sweet tooth. During my most recent visit, I purchased the strawberry crunch cake, carrot cake cheesecake, butter pecan cheesecake, and oatmeal raisin cheesecake. Wheewwww!!! I cannot say how incredibly good these cheesecakes are. You can tell each cheesecake is made with the finest ingredients. They are creamy, buttery, sweet, savory, ALL the things you would love to have in a decadent dessert. Please do yourself a favor and take a trip to try them for yourself. You won't regret it!
I got the pleasure of trying the cheesecake lady cheesecake I tried the banana caramel one and it was absolutely amazing. I did not expect them to have cheesecake at the carshow for my dads work but I'm so glad they did. It was the perfect mashup of caramel and banana topped with some crumbles which was so good. My dad had the same thing I did and he thought it was great and filling. He said it's full of flavor and delicious. The service was so friendly, my dad forgot a fork and they gave me another fork for him. The truck is so cool looking too, if you ever see it make sure to get some of their banana caramel cheesecake, you won't regret it!
I understand the hype. These cheesecakes are so freaking good. We went bright and early as soon as they opened and still had to wait 5 mins as a few people were waiting outside to order. It was quick though. There were about 6-7 different flavor options that day and I got myself a strawberry shortcake cheesecake and I got my husband the brownies cheesecake. He enjoyed it but he said he still prefers the Oreo dream from tcf. I however am not a cheesecake fan but I tour this one up. I loved it because it was light and airy. It was not too sweet but the strawberry jam and whipped cream made it a perfect bite. The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was very pricey.
Today was the day I FINALLY got over to the tiny pink bakery that sits besides Sprinkles ice cream on Township Line Rd in charming Elkins Park. As this was my first trip here and the hype about the place I secretly feared I would encounter a "soup nazi" type establishment. However quite the opposite. This pink palace is small so, only a few customers in allowed at a time. Despite the line, I was not rushed and was greeted politely. I stood wide eyed at the glass display holding well over 10 various flavors of tiny little cheesecakes. Each adorning toppings to challenge the willpower of anyone trying to limit themselves. (I do believe the store has a limit on busy days to help curb the enthusiasm of the overzealous) The woman behind the counter was helpful and patiently waited as I deliberated my choices. NOW, to those amazing little cakes! Let me state I AM NOT a fan of cheesecake, nor would it be my desert of choice, that said. These, may have brought me to the dark side, and I'm fearful I may never leave. The graham cracker crumb is light and crumbly the texture rich and smooth and every bite is simply divine. I honestly can not choose which is better the fudge brownie or the banana pudding. I was compelled to write this review before I even opened my baby cakes, yet I am certain, even though they aren't the flavors I would have chosen they will indeed pleasure my palate Ideally, I would love to give this gem 5*, the reasons I cannot are as follows: Only open Thurs/Sun which would account for the line that one must wait in to even try the decadence within. The selling of "merch" - this distracts from the product that can very well stand on its own. I do realize many places offer merch, however; to me it's a turnoff. Most importantly, the lack of full size cakes prepped to go. The Cheesecake Lady specializes in mini deserts. Small two serving cakes and "babycakes" which are only sold as packaged as is and not pick and choose. The idea for variety is indeed appealing, however not everyone fancies the flavors chosen. It would be far more delightful to be able to choose like donuts. Honestly with the business she does she wouldn't loose out on having babies sold individually, by the half or even full dozen. I do believe people would come and grab one or two much like the novelty cupcake bakeries around So there you have it. A MUST VISIT, a highly recommended, a no need for a reason to go just GO from me to you. I promise it's worth the wait and you won't be disappointed .
I've road by this place for years and always wondered what was all the hype about for the line to be so long and overflowing into the parking lot next-door. Well now I know!!! If your not a fan of cheesecake it might be because you haven't been blessed by The Cheesecake Lady!!! These cheesecakes are out of this world deliciousness!!! You know it's beyond your wildest dreams when a place opens and sells out within an hour. It's a small business that you could easily miss when driving by unless you see the long line they have most days. It's standing room only for getting in to get your desserts and then leaving to make room for the next patron. So no dining in here. The staff is friendly, welcoming and courteous. You've definitely gotta have a strategy for getting your hands on one of them as you can't order ahead and they only sell small personal size cheesecakes. All of the cheesecakes here are incredible but my favorite is the peanut butter cheesecake and the strawberry crunch cake...OMG!! The menu changes weekly but you can call to find out what they have or follow them on IG/social media to see their weekly offerings. Some try to go before business hours to secure their spot in line. Once your in you can purchase as many as you like unless there's a lot of people waiting and they want to give others an opportunity to get their hands on one. You can also try going on an off day..like perhaps a Thursday before the weekend rush. At any rate, you've gotta try it once and I guarantee you'll thank me later.
Okay I've been to the cheesecake lady twice so time to review. Now I'm from a city that has a place that is known for cheesecake (Brooklyn, Junior's) and this place has much better tasting cheesecake. They only sell one personal size which I love! They usually only have 2-3 favors to choose from when I go. I think they rotate 5 flavors a day. The price is reasonable. A great place to get cheesecake. I so far have tasted the caramel and cinnamon roll cheesecakes. They taste good and very similar. The only difference I noticed is the cinnamon roll cheesecake has a pinwheel roll I think in the middle with caramel on top of the cheesecake. I included a picture of the cinnamon roll cheesecake and the banana pudding cheesecake. This is a place you must check out if you are a cheesecake lover. My favorite cheesecake is chocolate cheesecake which they don't have. But they have a chocolate chip cheesecake which I will definitely try next.
Finally made it to The Cheesecake Lady. The staff were friendly. I got there around 1:15 and there was no line and they hadn't completely sold out yet. I wanted to get the baby cakes so that I could try more flavors but they were all sold out. I ended up getting two minis: cookie butter (biscoff) and banana pudding. Both flavors were good but the banana pudding was better (in my opinion). I'm not giving 5 stars because I personally prefer my cheesecake to be firmer. These cheesecakes are very soft, almost mouse like.
Update.... Their cheesecake was calling me after 2 weeks so I went today and tried the banana pudding cheesecake ( my new favorite). I can't describe in words how this flavor hit on every level!!! Most definitely the best !! Also had the strawberry cake cheesecake which was good as well and also got the lemon Oreo again. Will definitely be back again
Let me first start by saying I ended up here by accident on purpose. I seen two of my Twitter followers talking about this place and thought I'll try out one day. Then one of the girls uploaded the IG screenshot for this place and me being me decided to go look. I went on the IG page and then the website. Before I knew it, I was in my car on my way to go stand in line too buy a cheesecake. No plans. No idea on what to get. Just vibes!!! I literally waited in line for 30 minutes with no idea on what to get. I got inside and asked another customer what he was getting. Everything looked good and I decided to get the newest flavor, Strawberry crumble cheesecake! I wasn't disappointed. Definitely worth the 30 minute drive and 30 minute wait. I will totally come back again just to try something different.
Arrived around 10:15, the line was pretty long but it moved fairly quickly. They allowed 2-3 people in at a time. Once inside it was very clean and they gave a warm welcome. My host was very patient since I changed my mind a few times. They didn't have 12 packs like I wanted. So I got 3 mini 6 packs and two small cakes. Everything has been delicious so far. My husband gives it a 10 out of 10.

I think the cheesecake is good, but that's actually not what I wanted to write about. I visited the cheesecake lady's food truck and was charged more than the sign advertised I'll throw photos in this review, but the sign said everything was $15. However, one of the items I purchased, I was rung up for $17. I know it is a small difference but if you're going to have an item that is going to be a different cost, you need to advertise that to your customers. It's pretty shady and just leaves a bad taste. read more
I'm 'somewhat' of a cheesecake fanatic. My wife would make two of them on my birthday. I live in New York City and there are MANY great cheesecakes in the city - Junior's to name one! We were going out to eat this evening, and across the street from the restaurant was The Cheesecake Lady. We had seen the store opening - it's new to the West Ave location - and wanted to try it. We saw it was closing at 6, so we got a small cheesecake to go, before we went out to eat. It was very cold outside, so we put the cheesecake in the car. We went right home after dinner - we were anxious to try the cheesecake! I'm used to a cheesecake with a thicker consistency....this one was a much lighter texture - very creamy. Typically, I never really liked the lighter texture, as I've had all different kinds. My favorite is a plain cheesecake with a sour cream frosting. However, the taste of this cheesecake was superb - it was rich and flavorful - not too sweet. The deliciousness of the cheesecake compensated for its lighter texture. It was a nice surprise to have such an excellent tasting cheesecake so close by! read more

Five stars all the way!!! Wow just when I enjoyed my cheesecake from the cheesecake factory little did I know that I ain't seen nothing yet! Yes ladies and gentlemen, The cheesecake lady is the perfect cheesecake. It taste like nana's cheesecake. Their cakes are definitely made with love and quality ingredients. I ended up purchasing two flavors, I got the cinnamon roll and the strawberry shortcake. The cinnamon roll was my favorite. It had a thick cinnamon glaze and a small cinnamon roll on top of the cheesecake. Throughout the cheesecake it had pieces of cinnamon rolls and the bottom was a sugary graham cracker crust delicious!! The strawberry shortcake was also yummy. It had a layer of cake and was topped with strawberries and a strawberry glaze as well as whipped cream. These cheesecakes are rich, thick and creamy. The prices are kinda steep but worth it. There about 10.00 a pop but each slice is pretty heavy and can last awhile. The cheesecake lady offers a variety of flavors from banana pudding to fruity pebbles, make sure you get there early cause they run out fast. read more

I love this place! I'm from Charlotte NC & we were visiting Philly for a couple hours & decided we wanted dessert. We came across The Cheesecake Lady and loved it. They have their hours posted on the door & it says they open until 2pm or the sell out. After having a convo with another customer, they sell out frequently. That's very telling. The staff/owner was so sweet. I'm a huge fan of lemon flavored desserts & this cheesecake had just enough lemon. The cookie crust was a great addition. When I went, there was only about 3 people ahead of us so the wait wasn't long at all. I will be back whenever I'm in town. read more

Well worth the wait in line around the corner in the rain. Love the little personal sizes they come in. So many flavors, but you can't go wrong with a classic NY style. Incredibly creamy and flavorful. Definitely the best cheesecake I've ever had!!!!!! read more

I've driven past here many times the past 4 years but have never stopped in so I finally decided to give it a try.. That's when I learned there will more than likely be a line, but ITS WELL WORTH IT! Bought two of the mini cheesecakes and man ooo man..bomb dot com!!! Will most definitely frequent this place more often. read more

This is like heaven in my mouth. It tastes so good. Everything tastes so fresh as well. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND 100/10 read more
It tastes just like what cheesecake is supposed to taste like. Don't quite think it's worth waiting 1.5 hrs in line for when the cheesecake factory is so nearby, but excellent cheesecakes made by a local business. Definitely recommend trying the carrot cake! read more

Cheesecakes and cookies oh my.... Delicious, light and airy. $12 a cake.... Earn 15 points and you get a free cheesecake read more
I promise you this is the best cheesecake ever! The wait in line is so worth it. Just to have an idea of the wait- we arrived about 30 minutes before opening and there was already a bit of a line (again they're THAT good). Once they opened, we were in and out within 10-15 minutes. I tried the Oreo, carrot cake and strawberry shortcake cheesecakes. It's hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to choose one, I would say the strawberry shortcake is at the top of my list. The staff were really friendly also and seem to move the line fairly quickly. I will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time here and I wasn't disappointed. I took my mother here to sample some of Vanessa's (the owner) sweets. One hour before closing on the Friday before Christmas left us with slim pickings and not much to choose from. We chose a lemon cheesecake, a lemon cake and an oatmeal raisin cookie. Vanessa was busy baking in the back but came out front to speak with us and tell us about her business. I was very impressed with the decor of her bakery and the friendliness of her and her staff. The cheesecakes are about $7 each but they are big enough for two or three servings. Our food was very sweet but that's what dessert should be. So pour yourself a tall glass of 1% and enjoy. read more

The cheesecakes are divine! Everyone in the neighborhood is lined up to get some so always expect a long line but it is very well worth the wait. I love the theming of the building too. Very pretty. read more
