I’ve been craving cheesecake and unable to have gluten. The gluten free cheesecakes were INCREDIBLE. I also love that the flavors change. We had the gluten free reeses and it was delicious as well as the cherry gluten free. We will be going back for sure!

The minis are my family's favorite--they love the plain with the whip and sprinkles. I have more of a sweet tooth and love to try their other flavors every now and then (oreo, turtle, etc). Any flavor I have tried, I have loved so far. The owner is nice and greets you with a smile. If you live/are visiting this area, definitely check it out, they have so many flavors to choose from!

I wanted to order cheesecake slices for a work event. I Googled cheesecake places near me and saw the excellent ratings for this place. When I called they offered the small cupcake-like cheesecakes. They are so cute and easy to handle, it turned out perfect! These cheesecakes didn’t just have a good presentation, they were so tasty! Everyone raved about how delicious they were. I ended up sending an email out about with their contact information, since so many people were asking where they came from. I will be ordering these again for work and for personal occasions. Thank you Sweet Cheesecake for providing a wonderful afternoon snack! 5 out of 5 stars!!!
