Cheesecakes by Alex - Pumpkin cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I used Cheesecakes by Alex for a Christmas party last weekend (December 13), and the experience was wonderful. I spoke with a few staff members while placing my order, and everyone was incredibly sweet and helpful with my questions. I ordered six small (5") cheesecakes along with an assortment of cookies. The cheesecake flavors included crème brûlée, turtle, strawberries & crème, New York, white chocolate raspberry, and blueberry. The turtle and crème brûlée cheesecakes disappeared the fastest--along with the cookies! Everything was delicious, but those were definite crowd favorites. The packaging was excellent, and the staff provided clear instructions on how to prep and serve everything, which made hosting even easier. These treats were a huge hit at the party, and I would absolutely order from them again. read more

Love love love. The cheesecake is so good and dense and a decent price point. We global many varieties to try to see what is best for us. We are original lovers but really enjoyed everything we tried. I also got a lemon tarte that was amazing. I wish the meringue wasn't as sweet or the lemon had more of it so it was a little more balanced. Super cool little spot and we loved everything. read more

Stopped in here to grab a piece of NY Style Cheesecake - anything else is just cheesecake messed about. The cheesecake here is nice, but I prefer that at Midtown Cafe. Got distracted by the Cannoli, so I picked that up as well. read more

I visited this shop after Art Crush in the Arts District. It was late and this was the only place open for dessert so late (past 9pm). They had so many options for everyone- not just cheesecakes! And even for the cheesecakes, they had so many different kinds. Some signature flavors and some seasonal. They moved the line along very quickly and the people at the counter were friendly. They had some indoor seating as well. The Kahlua espresso cheesecake was great! It had the consistency of NY Cheesecake, and tasted just like kahlua and espresso! I don't love when cheesecake has a mousse consistency and this did not. Would I come back? Yes!! As much as I would love to get this exact flavor again, they have so many different cheesecake flavors and other desserts that I think I need to try them all. read more

This is one of my all-time favorites! Everything here is always so delicious from the options of brownies including peanut butter, cream cheese, and chocolate chip to the delicious flavors of Cheesecakes! They have so many different flavors, including, but of course not limited to double chocolate, Kahlúa, espresso, bananas, foster apple crisp, New York style, Keylime, and blueberry! There are so many flavors that I cannot even begin to name them! Of the ones that I've tried every one has been scrumptious! They are all so creamy smooth and flavorful! Several of them have the traditional graham cracker crust but they also have several that have nut crust and chocolate Oreo crust! They also have sugar-free options, including the sugar-free Keylime and sugar-free vanilla. They have scones, cookies, cinnamon rolls, and biscotti. by the way, they also have several different layer cakes that I have heard are absolutely positively to die for! You have to come and try Cheesecakes By Alex in downtown Winston-Salem! To add to the wonderfulness of this location, they also have fruit smoothies and of course, coffee! today, I just got an oat milk latte with cinnamon and sweetened with a little bit of honey. I must say that the coffee is not out of this world, but it is good. however, this makes perfect sense as they are not focused on their coffee, but on their delicious cheesecakes and other yummy treats! overall, I love love love this place and I hope you try it! You won't be disappointed in anything you try here! by the way, the prices are also excellent! They are very inexpensive compared to other gourmet bakeries! This is definitely a plus! read more

I stopped in today for the first time for some holiday goodies and was blown away! They had so many different options of cheesecakes and other desserts. There wasn't anybody else in the store so I was immediately greeted and helped. I "accidentally " ate a whole slice of chocolate chip cheesecake in one sitting. It was fantastic! I was surprised that the indoor seating wasn't very much, but it's a solid spot! read more

Chocolate chip cookie was chewy and had some oats in it. Not bad overall, and molasses cookies had a strong ginger flavor that was overpowering. It was soft and chewy, which was a plus. The chocolate raz cheesecake was delicious. One of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Will return to try more. read more

We enjoyed this quick visit. Everything is clearly labeled. They offer every kind of dessert from cake, cheesecake, cookies, and scones. They also have a great range of coffees, teas, and milkshakes. The prices are very reasonable. Inside offers four 4-person tables and one large (8-person) table). The staff were friendly and moved quickly. We tried the Apple Crisp Cheesecake (delicious), a chocolate chip (great price, tasted pretty good), and a cupcake (large size, but tasted just ok). Overall, it was a good visit. read more

My husband and I had a kid-free date night last week and we stopped in at Spotted Cow Steakhouse for dinner. We had to park up the street a ways and as we got out, I noticed we were across the street from this place called "Cheesecakes by Alex." As we were waiting on our food, I looked up this place and was amazed at the many types of cheesecake they offered (I included some photos, but couldn't capture ALL of it). They also were open until 10/11pm. I went to their Facebook where they were advertising that very day was National Cheesecake Day and all slices were only $3.50 each to celebrate. We stopped in as we left our dinner and we tried the traditional New York Style that has a bit of lemony-zing that I loved, as well as Chocolate Swirl, Strawberries and Cream, and a White Chocolate Raz. They were all delicious! I have told so many folks about this place and plan to stop in again soon! read more

Alex's Cheesecake did NOT disappoint The crème brûlée cheesecake is absolutely to die for -- rich, creamy, and perfectly caramelized on top. I got it for my husband's birthday, and every single one of us loved it. It was so good, it instantly became our new favorite dessert spot. Try their cannoli and fresh croissant. It's the best. If you're thinking about trying them... do it. You won't regret it! read more

If you are craving some desserts than this is the place. Cheesecakes are their main thing but they also have a great selection of cakes, muffins, cream pies and coffees. You walk in and order with one of the many lovely ladies and then pay at the register while they prepare your order. Everyone is friendly and attend to you immediately. The cakes and cheesecakes are delicious. They even have low or sugar free cheesecakes, so there is something for everyone. My only thing is that they don't keep creamers or milks for you to adjust your coffee, they only keep the sugar out. There is plenty of cozy seating and tables for you to relax and enjoy your sweet tooth desires. I will check my sugar later but for now I'm enjoying!! read more

Delicious!! So many options and a handful of gluten free options such as cookies, macarons, muffins and one New York style cheesecake with a nut crust. I'm gluten free but family had a sugar free vanilla bean and mint chocolate chip which i had a bite of (just not the crust) and it was soooo tasty! Decently portioned as well. read more

Wow!! Best cheesecake flavors I've ever seen and tasted. It's taken me a long time for some reason to try this place, but I'm glad I finally got here. They have an array of amazing flavors and what I didn't know is that it's pretty big inside and more like a coffee shop you can go hang out and they serve more than just cheesecake ! They have tarts, cakes, cookies, eclairs and muffins and so much more. A full coffee bar service as well. I loved the cool feel inside and the friendly staff. We went after dinner at the pub across the street , because even though you're full you have room for dessert! We mulled over all the choices and settled on the key lime and the strawberry red velvet. Both were awesome and creamy and had great subtle tones of flavor of each fruit. I loved the smooth chocolate over the strawberry red velvet. I most certainly wanna try the flavors in the future. Plus I'd like to try some of their other treats too. Great little surprise after dinner to find out this is more than just cheesecake and that the cheesecake is delicious! I can see why everyone raves about it ! read more

So. Good!!! This place is so cute in such a cute area. There's plenty of seating yet it feels so cozy and charming. The staff are all super welcoming and happy to answer questions. I have no idea how we settled on four slices/flavors because I really wanted to try them ALL!! I can't imagine you'd go wrong with any but I'd say the chocolate turtle was my #1 of the four we tried. The chai wasn't amazing but it was super reasonably priced. It was more milk heavy than I prefer but honestly, it went really well with the cheesecake that way. read more

Best cheesecake ever. And I'm from NY and we know our cheesecake. Great service. Awesome bakery selection. They even have Italian wedding cookies. Biscotti read more

Best cheesecakes in town! The staff were very friendly and helpful as well. The Kahlua Espresso cheesecake was my favorite.

We finally made it here after I don't know how many months. While downtown we stopped to get some sweets for us and also for some friends who have been under the weather. We decided on Cheesecakes by Alex because we have wanted to stop here so many times and just haven't had a chance. So today was our big day it was pretty empty but we came in the early afternoon and there was a lot of choices to make. We decided on one that was pecans and bourbon those two things go to great. I think my wife and I agreed that the slice was a bit small to share. So one of two things needs to happen on our next visit either she at I need to get our own or a whole one to take home. Since they have so many choices and we don't know if our friends had a preference we opted for the plain New York cheesecake. The guy who helped us wrapped it up with twine and a nice box and our friends text us later and said that they really enjoyed it. We did too and we hope to come back before too long read more

Came in for birthday cupcakes, left with that and some! Although this visit marked our first time in the store, it's not the first time we've eaten some delicious goods from here as we've had cheesecake by way of a family member's celebratory contribution to a party and other occasions. So we thought, why not see if we can pick up birthday cupcakes for my son on the way to get him from school. What an impressive selection too! They had cupcakes, cheesecakes, pastries, chocolate and an assortment of different kinds of drinks. My husband ordered an espresso and I got a croissant with chocolate. It was so good with plenty of fluff and but to it while leaving me satisfied with plenty of nutella filling. Compared to other kinds like it elsewhere, I would say it came more generously sized which I appreciated. I had to fulfill my craving for it the next day at another store that didn't quite compare. Considering all that, I'll definitely be back! read more

Finally came here! Loved the flavors they offered. They have gluten free and Suger free options too for those who need to know. We shared a bourbon pecan cheesecake slice. Absolutely delicious. My only complaint is for almost $6 a slice, a bigger slice would have been nice. To me it was very petite. Their one pound boxes of cheesecake which are around $12 are a nice gift idea and come frozen so they are travel friendly. The one pounders have about 4-5 flavors to pick from, even pumpkin. The white box is cute with a country straw twine wrapped around it. They had other desserts as well such as cakes and cookies and of course the Sandwich cookies. They have a coffee menu as well and some tables to sit and enjoy. read more

Very good! I have frequented the Greensboro store several times! So many good things to choose from! Went in for a cheesecake and came out with the cheesecake and some cookie sandwiches! I ordered the bourbon pecan cheesecake. It was amazing! I placed the order by phone that morning. It was ready for me when I got there later in the afternoon. The employee even asked if I wanted it defrosted so it could be served that day. Very friendly and helpful when I had questions. The store itself is large and hold just so much goodness! Go! Everything looks great!! read more

I ordered three slices of cheesecake, three biscotti a pumpkin scone and three muffins. The cheesecake is good. It's very thick and sticky but tasty just not my favorite because of the thickness. I love the pastries here. The biscotti, we got ginger, chocolate almond and another f l avor. They were crunchy and well-spiced. I highly recommend it. The muffins are perfect for breakfast and so is the pumpkin scone. It's like a biscuit and isn't too sweet. Mera's Tip: don't skip the pastries read more

When I got to Winston, I wanted some dessert before heading to work. I performed a Google search, and this came up. I stopped by here around 5PM on a Thursday afternoon. I've been to the location in Greensboro several times since I live there. I figured this would be a good spot to grab a dessert. This location is located in downtown Winston-Salem on Trade Street. When walking in, the first thing that I noticed is that it is much larger than the location of Greensboro. They also have a patio area. Honestly, I was really indecisive in what to get. I wanted to get something I hadn't gotten before. The regular cheesecake (key lime, New York, pumpkin, and pineapple) is $5.25. The special flavors (chocolate brownie, turtle, gluten-free, and sugar-free) are $5.75 per slice. The premium flavors of cheesecake are $5.50 a slice and there are multiple flavors. They have so many options beyond cheesecake including layered cake, cupcakes, muffins, cookies, coffee, etc. The prices went up some time ago but that's not surprising due to everything else rising including the cost of materials and ingredients they utilize. I ultimately decided to get peanut butter cup cheesecake at 5:07pm, as I don't think I've had that before. I utilized Apple Pay during checkout. After getting my slice of cheesecake, I stop by the restroom on my way to check out the patio area. They have two restrooms that are gender neutral, which is awesome. The restroom I utilized was clean. My only complaint with the restroom would be the discolored paint on the wall and the various patterns on floor that simply seem unfinished. However, I think the different blue could've been purposefully for Halloween. I didn't notice the locations until I looked back at the photo I took. Thats neither here nor there, tbh, lol. The floor in the bathroom matched the rest of the floor in the business. If the floor (everywhere) was more uniform then it will have a more aesthetically pleasing, to me. Personally, the condition and aesthetics of the restroom matters just as much as the rest of an establishment. The patio area was nicely shaded for this time of day. There was no one out there. I really wish that I had came with someone. It would've been great to sit and talk as it was a beautiful day. (Side Note: If you're reading this, and you need a food buddy, hit me up! I truly do need more friends in the area!). Nonetheless, There were three tables with four chairs. Two of the tables had umbrellas on it. There was also two chairs close to the back fence. I like the black and white artwork that was on the wall. I also liked the artwork that was on the wall inside too. I took my cheesecake and went to my job, which was maybe less than five minutes away. I slowly ate it over the next 1.5 hours as I did my session lol. While it was good and definitely gave the peanut butter flavor, I realized that a regular slice of cake would've satisfied my cravings more so that the cheesecake. read more

My wife searched for a dessert option and decided we had to check it out. We were only a few blocks away and were able to find a parking place easy enough. She had thought they only had cheesecake but when we walked in we saw much, much more! Oh my goodness, cookies, brownies, cakes, muffins, pastries and cheesecakes and everything looked delicious! Oh and the prices, wow - we were blown away - cookies, for 50 cents each (they are small but that just gives you a reason to order one of each and the ability to try them all), assorted cream pies for $1.50, assorted biscotti for 75 cents, cupcakes for $2.50, large muffins for $1.65 and slices of at least 20 different types of cheesecake for $5.00 per slice. This would be incredibly dangerous if we lived in the area! We also thought it was cool they offered seating inside where you could sit and enjoy your dessert while enjoying friends or family. We opted for an array of cookies to go and were on our way. Every one of them tasted delicious, we probably enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter one the most. Absolutely recommend, great service too! read more

Came here with my wife for the first time this past weekend. I joked because they have a deal: 12 slices for $38. Next time I would give that deal a lot more consideration! Holy crap this is a great bakery! We got 3 different slices of cheesecake and they were all fabulous! We also got an oatmeal raisin cookie cream pie, and that was maybe the best thing! I think my favorite cheesecake the banana cream, but I'd love the chance to try more so I can make an official decision on that! Best cheesecake I've had in the Triad, and maybe best cheesecake I've ever had actually! Cheesecake being one of my favorite desserts in general, I will certainly be back. And soon! Do note they are not open for dining in during the pandemic. Takeout only, but you can order at the counter so no need to call ahead. read more

The cheesecake here is fantastic! We tried the turtle, strawberry, cookies and cream, and bananas foster as well as the coffee. It was also surprisingly reasonably priced. Cookies are 65 cents, cheesecake around $6 a slice, and coffee under $5 a cup, including cappuccinos and various hot/iced drinks. I will definitely return when back in the area. read more

Visiting friends in Winston-Salem and we went to dinner up the street and came here for dessert. For a dessert spot, the place was roomy which is good because they welcome dogs. I think I also saw treats for your four legged friends but I wasn't paying close attention. I liked the rustic decor and openness of the floor plan. My only problem was the number of cheesecake flavors to decide from. If I wasn't flying out the next day, I would have gotten several flavors but I had to decide on one and went with the creme brûlée. The cheesecake itself is thick and creamy and for the price, you get a nice sized piece. I didn't care for the flavor too much as it didn't taste like a creme brûlée but I tried someone else's turtle cheesecake and it was divine. I also had a taste of the peanut butter flavor and it was good too. I can't wait to return to Winston-Salem to try more cheesecake. I'll make sure this is my first stop when I get to town so I can get multiple slices. read more

I love the desserts here but the fact that they can't provide any sort of ingredient list is ACTUALLY insane. I have people with allergies in my family and they refuse to show ingredients are even TELL YOU what's in the desserts. We've asked multiple times and they will have to call the owner or baker and ask if this certain ingredient is in it or not. Because it's a "secret." They sometimes will say they are "pretty sure" the ingredient isn't in there. Also my sister in law needed to know if there was honey in the German chocolate cake because my nephew is under 1 and they couldn't tell her. Yeah maybe he would get infant botulism, maybe not... read more

Great selection of cheesecakes, cakes by the slice or whole, cookies, cupcakes, and other pastries. Nice drink offerings as well that make it feel like a cafe. Such a fun atmosphere inside. Feels upbeat the minute you walk through the door. Sadly they aren't offering seating inside currently because of Covid but this would definitely be a good hangout spot. I've tried the coconut guava cupcake and a slice of the banana pudding cake. The banana pudding cake doesn't have near enough filling and the icing is too sweet. The coconut guava cupcake needs more coconut. I only felt like the cake part was topped with coconut and that was it. The flavors described need to stand out more. read more

Visited again this past weekend! Tried their low-sugar Kahlua expresso cheesecake and bananas fosters cheesecake. The low-sugar Kahlua expresso still had a good amount of sweetness that paired perfectly with the bold and bitter expresso. The crust seems to be made with a type of nut that gave a better texture that contrasted the creamy and thick cheesecake. The bananas fosters tasted exactly as it sounded, I was surprised to how accurate the flavor was. It has a tradition graham cracker crust and was very delicious. Overall a great place to visit in downtown for coffee and/or dessert. Would love to eventually try their cakes and other flavors of cheesecake. m read more
