    We love a good cheesecake. But this time we ordered something else - just as good though! We got a slice of carrot cake and a Gluten free Coconut Guava cupcake. The carrot cake had a deep flavor that wasn't overly sweet. While the the cupcake had a flavor I don't think I've had before. But it tasted really fresh and tasty. Loved them both! This bakery is always packed, and rightfully so. The staff is super sweet and helpful, making the experience better!

    Cheesecakes by Alex is a Greensboro staple. I haven't been in a while but every time it's consistently delicious! I ordered a Kahlua cheesecake and Amaretto cappuccino. Both were amazing and paired well together. You absolutely must check out this place while in downtown Greensboro!

    The best macaroons in Winston Salem and only 65 cents! It was small but mighty and I loved every piece of it. So soft and it melted in my mouth! The cheesecake looks amazing and they have gluten free options!! The lady who works here seemed annoyed today but her baking is awesome

    Bourbon Butter Pecan

    I love love Cheesecake by Alex. Every time I am on Elm St I stop in to get me a slice. The bourbon cheese cake has a very authentic taste & is really delicious!!!! The chocolate cheesecake taste fantastic too. The service is very good. There is also comfortable seats & tables inside to eat inside.

    I stopped by here around 9:30pm on a Monday evening after another dessert place was closed. When I went inside, it wasn't busy and there were 2 staff members. After browsing what was available, I chose to get a strawberry velvet cupcake that was $3.47. I waited until I got home to eat it. When I opened the container, the aroma of strawberry blessed my nostrils! Strawberry is my absolute favorite flavor. By that time, it also softened up a bit from being in the cooler. The cupcake was so moist and delicious. I enjoyed every drop! Can't wait to return for more streets.

    Went crazy with 12 pieces to sample

    Always a fun stop whenever in downtown. We stopped by after a Tanger show & they never disappoints. Fast & Friendly service, amazing choices. We went with 12 pcs sampler, triple chocolate cake & my favorite the GF guava coconut cupcake!

    I love this place. I've gone so many times and I've tried so many different flavors. They have all been so good, even their seasonal ones. I know I've picked up a couple lbs bc I can't say no when I pass this place.

    Long time Greensboro staple!! This place never gets tired or old for me. I love waiting in line, to choose what amazing flavors I have to pick from. (I need the time to make these hard decisions). They are all delicious- even the sugar free choices!!

    Sliced crème Brulee Cheesecake
    Alex A.

    Still the undisputed GOAT for cheesecake in town. I love their creme brulee cheesecake, it's my favorite. Whole or sliced, leave it to me and I'll take care of it. They'll even pre slice the whole cheesecake and make even individual servings before sealing it! Just one note... it seems the crust is a bit more crumbly than I remember it. I don't remember it being dry or crumbly, which was perfect to me! I noticed this both on an individual slice while visiting and with the whole cheesecake as well. Anyways.. the rest of the flavor is still there and their spot also has a few upgrades! Great service as usual.

    So good, so many flavors and the service was so fast and kind. Amazing oatmeal cookies and the kahlua espresso cheesecake was awesome. Lots of sitting area and cozy!

    I was excited to try Ice-creamFactory knowing they were the same owners as SipLab, which I just…read morereviewed. Went in with my family and we were immediately greeted and taken care of. While we were in the line the staff were taking time to get to know the guests which I thought was a great service touch. I got the NY Cheesecake Stacker and wow. It was good. It was A LOT, portion-wise, which is never a bad thing. Flavor was great. It wasn't as aggressively sweet you think. This was a fun place to try. Staff and guests were in good spirits, it was clean, there was a fun playlist going, just an overall good experience.

    Been trying to get back to this spot for a while. We discovered it last year as part of a Yelp…read moreevent, and have been looking forward to visiting ever since. We were welcomed in by staff, who was very friendly. They offer a massive selection of ice cream flavors, which makes it tough to pick. They offer something for everyone including dairy free options (including vegan options), as well as classic flavors, fruity flavors, and their own concoctions! In addition, they offer unlimited toppings to be added at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!!! Still stuffed from dinner, I got a "single" cup, which they actually allow you to put up to (2) favors in. I decided to to go with (2) of their original creations, getting the Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream, and the Salty Caramel Brownie, to top it off, i got a chocolate drizzle, sprinkles and whipped cream. WOW! Don't let the size of the cup fool you, they pack it, full, and have overflowing. They don't skimp. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, so rich and full of flavor. The space is very relaxed with plenty of seating, as well as games for people to enjoy while visiting. Another nice touch, the cashier gave us a bottle of water on the house. In addition to cups and cones, they also offer milkshakes, ice cream tacos made to your liking, and so much more. Hands down, this has got to be the best spot in the Triad to get a nice sweet treat! As the days are warming up, I'm looking forward to going back!

I personally had not been to this place before but I had heard a lot of good things about it on Tiktok. So I was excited to try it out. When you step inside the place has a nice little aesthetic going on with colors like white and green standing out to me. They had tons of flavors lined up. There menu on the screen also showed the different flavors and other things they offered. I personally just wanted Ice cream so I didnt keep looking. We were assisted by a worker and she let us sample different ice creams and even told us that there were certain flavors that were gelato not ice cream. I tried the coconut gelato and loved it instantly, so thats what I got. On a sign it said a single scoop of ice cream and gelato can get you one free topping. which i thought was really nice. I'll definitley be going back to this place as it keeps getting hotter

There were several people in front of us when we arrived, but they kept the line moving, and got people served quickly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, though the outdoor patio is in the middle of the parking lot. They offer a huge selection of cakes, cupcakes, pies and more to pick from, pricing is fair, and slices are generous. Picking just 1 slice of cake each was the hardest part of the visit. I went with red velvet, and my wife went with a slice of butter pecan. Both were fantastic, very moist, and flavorful, both layered with delicious frosting. We got our slices to go, and enjoyed them over 2 nights! This is a Greensboro gem, and a must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Honestly I was thinking, this place can't be thaaat good! I was wrong! First off I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of gift options in the bakery! Many of the local schools were represented and they also had gifts that were birthday themed and books for kids! Because my husband is a huge Duke (basketball) fan, I couldn't help but grab a cute Duke cup! I wasn't sure what cake slice to get my coworker so I asked the young lady working for reccos! She recommended I taste a few which was dangerous because I knew I would leave with my own which was not the plan at all! As a foodie, I fell for the tasting and of course ended up with a slice of seasonal pumpkin for myself! It was moist, spiced perfectly and not overly sweet! The pink lemonade was also very good! For my coworker I grabbed the recommended deal of buying 5 slices and getting one free! The young lady working even told me about a deal they have on Mondays... FREE SLICE DAY! No purchase necessary!!! Even though these are not the best desserts in the area in my opinion, they are a solid choice if wanting a little slice of cake and picking up a few gift items!

I came here to buy a half dozen cake squares. They have a deal where you guy 5 cake squares and get the sixth free at that time, so it worked perfectly for me. Our favorite are the pink lemonade, white cake with white icing, and chocolate cake with chocolate icing. As you can tell through the pictures, they offer way more than just those items, but I was on a mission so I stuck to what I needed. But it doesn't mean I didn't browse. And since there was a line, I was able to meander through the whole store. Back along the far right wall is a section of collegiate and North Carolina themed items. I definitely saw some future birthday and Christmas presents for myself in there. I quickly messaged a colleague to let them know where to find NC State items for friends if they ever needed to pick up a gift. As I made my way back towards the line of people, I looked over the freshly baked cupcakes, the tins of their so-thin-they-shouldn't-have-calories cookies, and everything else behind the glass. Inside Dewey's is also a small seating area, but I've never been one to linger in there due to the temptation. You can get a cream horn and eat it there so there is no evidence of where you went that day. I think Dewey's does a good job for a local chain store and I will co time to be a repeat customer.
