The food is sooo good! The Mac and cheese is fire and the lamb sandwich has been my go to. Then you can't go without that cheesecake! Even get one when I'm at Berkeley bowl! Service is always amazing, the owner is there making plates and is always very friendly. read more

Oh, light and crispy latke, where have you been all my life? Also, you all know I love vegan cuisine. I tend to mindlessly lapse into veganism. I am on hiatus. All the food! Surf and turf because I swapped chicken for salmon. I have brisket and lamb. I have mac & cheese and cornbread. I have pickles and pickled onions. I got tipped off by the extremely kind staff that this would be a lot of food. I had no idea. I'm sitting here mad I have barely made a dent. It doesn't look like I ate any lamb or brisket or mac & cheese. This food is tasty and high value. This could possibly feed 3 and definitely 2. May I inform you that nothing here is bland? A few items will build that flavor! Can I just tell you there is water available, self-serve. Each table gets a roll of paper towels. They are constantly bumping bay area music . The murals were done by a local artist. Come get some! read more

My boy stubbled upon this place and said it smelled so good inside. So, we had to check it out. Food was ! I saw videos where the food fell of the bone and that's what the turkey leg did exactly! Flavorful, juicy, and good bbq taste, it didn't even need the gravy! Ben you got you one! I will be back and bringing the fam with me too! They also do a lil karaoke on Monday nights 7p-9p read more

Fun, casual atmosphere with animated decor. Staff were friendly and efficient. The owner greeted everyone as they came in. I had never heard of lamb on a bbq menu but I really liked the pulled smoked lamb! The brisket was also nicely done and portions are generous and the bbq sauces are tasty. Unfortunately my baked beans were a little undercooked and the mac n cheese was too oily for my preference. The star of the show was the pandan cheesecake I got! Absolutely delicious! I will be back to try more flavors. read more

NY cheesecake. Great BBQ. Anime Restaurant. The own Ben and the team have crafted up a fun new place for you to try out in the sprightly Grand Lake neighborhood. If you want some robust and unique tastes for a sweet and savory meal while basking in some 90s-2000's nostalgia then put this place on your short list. The brick interior gives it a great East Coast feel, almost like you're inside the Mario blocks you used to bust up in the video game. The free cheesecake sample was what brought us in. We tried the classic OG New York (phenomenal) and the Durian cheesecake. I the latter was a little funky and subtly sweet, probably couldn't do more than a mini sized portion of it but I really do appreciate chefs who take some risk with creativity. You wouldn't know from the title but this is actually a BBQ restaurant! We got the 16 hr slow cooked brisket sandwich and it did not disappoint. Good luck trying to take a bite and restraining yourself from going in for another. Meat was super tender, fall off the bone, flavorful, juicy, and they didn't over do it with the slaw and everything else on it. Reasonably priced for what we got too! Next time you're on Lakeshore stop by. We didn't even scratch the surface of their BBQ offerings and will be back for more soon. read more

I loved their cheese cake from the San Leandro farmers market. There are many flavors and sizes. The problem I have is the back seating. Random ppl in the neighborhood are so entitled that they will sit there with their outside food and just make their phone calls to block the booth so you are trapped. So my experience was not good because an otherwise empty booth where I could go through was not available to walk through because of the entitled neighbor hood people. So I don't recommend sitting at the back booth. I had to stand in line longer because I had to go around that entitled thing because by the time I got to the line , everybody had beat me. So I think the back booth should be tables because that would clear more space. Not happy from my dine in experience, because I was hemmed in by a random person who wasn't a customer. But the food was good. read more

I ate there about a month ago. The meat was OK, but not tasty or juicy enough. I really wanted BBQ for Labor Day and went there yesterday. They were busy and the people were nice. Parking was ok on the street. The Link was a little dry and not too strong on taste. Nothing was bad, but I won't return soon. The beans were good and I enjoyed the Cornbread. Somebody smoked Weed right inside or just outside. I guess it's legal, but it wasn't like this 50 years ago. Then they started Karaoke. This is either the coolest place in town, or not for a fat old dude. read more

The food was good overall. since i got it like that and im big asl I got the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese, plus loaded fries with brisket, chicken, cheese, and sauce. Everything had good flavor and the portions were solid. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the food was a little too watery and the sauces made it a bit soggy. they got hella nice employes tooBesides that, everything was tasty and I'd definitely pull back up read more

Whoa! This place is a hidden gem. Tucked into the "other"end of lakeshore. Place is killing it. Got a 3 way combo, everything was well cooked. Brisket-juicy and crazy bark on it, chicken- full of flavor and properly smoked. Lamb- shoulder, I'm presuming? Loved the smoke on it. Definitely gamey for those who aren't used to eating lamb. Sides are on point. Really good value for the money. Got a cheesecake to go, as the name says .... Did not disappoint! The OG- delish, crust was nice and crispy. Almost toffee crunch to it! Wish I took some photos. read more

Ben was sooo pleasant to meet! It truly feels like a warm /homestyle vibe when you enter the restaurant. He offered a sample of the OG NY cheesecake and I was wow'd by how authentic the flavor of the cheesecake was! I was sold once he advised the graham mix and Oreo were all in house made from scratch! The Oreo cheesecake just melts in your mouth! So good I can't wait to come back and try the BBQ. read more

What a beautiful morning welcoming Crazy Block Cheesecakes to the Town. Such a vibrant and passionate business owner! While a line began forming before the 11am grand opening, Ben came out excited to bring community through the front doors and thanking everyone for coming out to cheer him on. It was such a great moment to hear him talk about how he started to where he's come, as he saw people in line that have rooted him and his business on every step of the way. While waiting he handed out samples of brisket, hats with their super fun logo, and fist pumps. The initial sample was delicious and made us excited for what was behind the doors! Located on Lakeshore near Philz Coffee, such a cool space with fresh and fun graffiti on the walls, merch, menu board signage, and nothing but smiles from his staff. We ordered a latke to split, the brisket loaded fries, and two bbq plates (one chicken and one brisket) with mac and cheese, slaw, and pickles. The first one hundred people in line received a complimentary cheesecake, what a treat. I admitted I had never tried one of his cheesecakes (he has over 100+ flavors) and mentioned I had to start with the OG NY Style..so of course I did! I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. The meat was super juicy and honestly, glorious. I'm not a huge bbq person, but this was no doubt special. The mac and cheese was what seemed to be white cheddar and honestly, my favorite type of shell. I could go for another scoop right now, so good! Slaw was on point, pickles delish..and the loaded fries! Man, those were smackin'. A perfect way to round out our carb loving first bites at what I know will be such a poppin' spot in Oakland. Good value, great product. Can't wait to try the cheesecake tonight :) Congrats and cheers to much success! Can't wait to continue to follow you soar! read more

Saw BBQ and immediately knew I had to go check it out. Brisket Sandwich 2/5 Chicken Sandwich 2/5 Mac and Cheese 5/5 amazing. Some of the best Mac I've had. OG Cheese Cake 4/5 Collard Greens 1/5 Lemonade 5/5 Not a lot of smoke in the meat. A lot of vinegar flavor in the slaw. Didn't care for the sauce. Worst of all was the roll or bun. It was really dry and crumbled like a biscuit. Fun to try but it's not for me. If you like vinegar forward bbq it might be for you. Love the interior. Service is a bit slow, they have t been open long so I'm confident they will get it all ironed out. read more

Been buying crazy block cheesecake for a few years now. Used to see them at dublin farmers market. Now they have a proper shop. Great crew. Amazing place and great service. They special made a Gulab jamun cheesecake and it was out of this world! Can't go back to normal Cheesecake now! read more

The most craveable and delicious food. We have been a few times during lunch and each time, Ben is there not only serving up outstanding food but also service. We have had the brisket, salmon, lamb, matzo ball soup, latkes and samples of all the sides and every item has been amazing ( I dream about those beans and mac and cheese plus that vinegary slaw to cut all the richness). Don't forget the cheese cake, with so many new and traditional flavors, you can't go wrong. They make everything in house from the sausage to the soft fluffy buns. Ben and his crew really show their pride in their service and their food. They have a become a local Bay Area staple for us. Always excited to go back! 10/10! read more

I just went here for the first time and I had the Dino rib and brisket which were both amazing. The Mac and greens were also good. The hush puppies had amazing flavor. Didn't try the cheesecake this time I was too full but overall great bbq with amazing customer service. read more

This was very good BBQ ( less salty than Horns). Also we loved that Block asked if we wanted fatty or lean pieces! Latke is crisp and small. I'm glad I tried it but it's pricey for 1. Side of beans was decent Cheesecake in OG and coffee was excellent. Nice strong flavors and good crust read more

The staff was nice enough but the food was a disaster. We were excited to find a fun new BbQ place. Our plates came out as a mess. Overcooked sausage , limp Mac n cheese, dry cornbread, lamb sandwich served with a thick layer of oil as the bread swam in it. The brisket was a good first bite but then became dry and bland. They did exchange the overcooked dried out sausage for a slightly bit juicer version. At least this one was eatable. Disappointing food experience. Wasted meal $$$. Shoulda gone to Dumpling Hours as we had planned. read more

Customer service was great, and I can see the vision. We were lured in by the sign offering free cheesecake samples. We tried the chicken combo with mac n cheese, and the brisket combo with baked beans as well as a side of fries. The platters also came with homemade pickles and cole slaw. The staff was super eager, although brand new and still working things out. Our food arrived quickly, and we loved the brisket and the habanero bbq sauce. The baked beans were flavorful as well and the fries were crispy. The Mac and cheese, though made with real white cheddar, could use a bit more flavor or creaminess. The chicken was plentiful but not super seasoned; next time I would get some of the longer cooked meat like brisket or lamb. We enjoyed the cheesecake sample and would also come back for dessert. There's a mural of Goku and Pokémon characters as you enter which gives it some personality. I also liked the paper towels on each table. The friendly owner, Ben, greeted us and answered our questions about fresh ingredients. Hope it becomes a neighborhood favorite! read more

Been following Crazy Block for about 3 years. The cheesecakes changed my view on cheesecakes. Never liked them and now I'm hooked on Crazy Block. When I heard they were opening a brick and mortar had to stop in. The ambiance e was nostalgic with the murals all around. The service was quick and efficient. I ordered the brisket sandwich, fries, potato latkes, regular lemonade and melon passion lemonade. (Ate food to quick for photos) The brisket was tender and juicy on that challah bread, chefs kiss! Fries reminded me of Kwik way being double fried and just the right amount of greasy goodness. Potato latkes were crispy yet soft on the inside. Ended the meal with a cookies and cream cheesecake read more

Another special spot to join Lakeshore Avenue! We've been awaiting the Grand Opening forever and it did NOT disappoint. The owner, Ben, is incredibly friendly and energetic - he is really passionate about his craft, and it shows! We had: Chicken combo with Mac n cheese Tri tip combo with greens Latkes French fries Cheesecakes (we brought home for later) They even make their own ketchup!!! Fantastic opening, can't wait for more!! There's plenty of seating, but easy to make it to-go. read more

Best new BBQ spot in the East Bay. Service can be very slow, due to a single cashier, but definitely worth it. I only eat chicken, and really prefer thighs, and they only use these... so big win for me. Also they use turkey in their greens, which is great as I don't eat red meat - many places use pork to season their greens and that's a no go for me. Lastly their beans have a non meat option too. So I'm able to get a dinner plate with chicken, greens, and beans - big portions too and can save half for next day lunch or dinner. Their cheesecakes are awesome too - Mango is my favorite. Best I've had, and the mini is just the perfect size for after dinner. read more

Firstly, I found out about this place because of their cheesecakes, which are at several grocery stores in the East Bay. Fucking delicious. I found out they also do latkes(?!) and BBQ on their instagram and have had a crazy craving for latkes so I figured I'd stop by to grab some. Yo.... best latkes I've ever had on this coast. Genuinely ridiculously good. Don't tell my bubbe because I'd get in trouble for saying they're better than hers, but they were SO crispy and delicious. Arnold palmer was amazing too, not too sweet and really tasty and fresh. Pic is busted because I was too busy shoveling them into my face to be a food blogger. I'll definitely be back to try their BBQ, but I can't recommend their cheesecake and latkes enough! read more

Crazy Block Cheesecakes - Latkes with sour cream and apple sauce - Desserts Near Me - Oakland, California

Sooo soooo amazing. Growing up in Chicago, I have MISSED a good brisket sandwich. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Also the latkes- wow wow wow, best I've had at a restaurant EVER. read more

Silly me, got too excited to eat and forgot to take a photo of the actual food! Ordered the brisket with cornbread and collard greens per the chefs recommendation, and latkes. Also had some agua fresca mixed with lemonade and tea. Absolutely delicious food for very reasonable price. My friend and I weren't starving so the one item plate and two latkes were more than enough for us. Brisket is super smoky, more than other bbq spots, and you can choose lean or juicy (juicy is obviously the way to go). Comes with bbq sauce and habanero. Corn bread was a giant slab with butter and honey. Collard greens were very flavorful. Latkes were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. Also got a bunch of their cheesecakes (6 for $30 minis) which were so creamy and delicious! Casual dining, good vibes, great flavors. read more

Finally a new BBQ spot in Oakland. Super comfort hit the spot food with nice people running the place. Tried the Brisket combo with Mac n cheese and beans. Flavor bomb in every bite. Had to try the cheesecake of course. Not a huge cheesecake fan but I really liked the choices offered and it was quite delicious read more

I LOVE bbq of all types--American, Japanese, Korean. Despite living in a food Mecca, we do not have a selection of decent American bbq options in the bay. They range from complete doo-doo (dry AND flavorless) to mediocre (dry OR flavorless) or overpriced (Fikscue). Still, nothing comes remotely close to Texas BBQ, like Goldee's and Hutchins, and that makes me really sad. But the fatty brisket from this place? It's up there. Fatty brisket 9/10: MUST GET. This scratched my itch for great bbq. It looked like it would be the real deal, and thankfully it was. It's the best brisket that I've had in the bay. Tons of flavor in the bark. Tender and moist. Not insanely salty. It's the star of the show. Lean brisket 4/10: A well-cooked and high-quality lean cut of brisket should still retain enough moisture and tenderness to fall apart easily. Here, that is not the case. Unpleasant to eat due to its dryness and chewiness. Pass. Beef rib 5/10: good flavor again, but the texture is inconsistent throughout the rib. Half was really tender and yummy. The other half was hard as a rock. I also got more bark and bone than meat. If I could only eat a small part of it, then I'm not getting my moneys worth. Pass. Maybe the Dino rib would be a better option (note: Dino ribs are only available on the weekend, and beef ribs are available everyday). Bbq sauce was really good. Habanero bbq had same base but with added spice and it really does have a kick that builds up as you eat more of it. Mac and cheese 6/10: looks really good and tastes average. Cheese hardens up very quickly before I could get halfway through the meal. Coleslaw 4/10: I didn't look at pictures of it before and there wasn't a description on the menu so I thought it'd be regular creamy coleslaw but it's actual pickled vegetables. Too heavy on the vinegar. Since the bbq comes with pickled radish and pickles already, it was overkill to get the slaw too. They're all of the same flavor profile--acidic and sour. Would have been better to opt for a more mellow side to balance out the strong flavors. Ube, pistachio, blueberry cheesecake: 8/10. No pistachio taste--overshadowed by the stronger flavors of Ube and blueberry. Still, the Ube and blueberry worked well together! Blueberries helped cut through the richness of it all. Half of a mini was enough for me. Henny praline 2/10: ordered this for someone else. I tried a bite and nope. But to be fair, I hate the flavor of alcohol so I'm biased. Berryade 7/10 They ask whether you would like fatty, lean, or half and half brisket. Get the fatty. Can choose to order meats by weight. Prices listed by pound but can choose to order by the half pound as well. (Probably even a 1/4 but I didn't try). Staff was nice. It's self service. You go back up to the counter to get your food when they call your number. You get your own water, utensils, and you return the used trays and throw away your trash when you're done. No line when we went around 3pm on a Sunday. Good amount of seating. Clean with nice artwork inside Would return for their fatty brisket and to try their other cuts, sides, cheesecakes, and their latkes! Glad to have a bbq joint in the bay with fatty brisket of this caliber read more

I recently tried out Crazy Block Cheesecakes after running some errands and man I was not disappointed! I had passed by the brick and mortar once and immediately was intrigued by a spot that sold a fusion of Jewish food and BBQ. I knew I'd check it out eventually and finally got the chance. As soon I walked in I was greeted by the owner behind the food counter who told us a bit about the menu and the food items. I ended up grabbing the Chiblam combo which came with 3 meat options (lamb, brisket, and chicken) as well as two sides. I also of course had to grab some Latkes to see what was going on. When ordering, they'll ask you if you want lean or fattier portions of the brisket which is nice. I ended going with a mix since I sometimes like fattier brisket. In terms of food quality, I have to say that the star of the show was the lamb. It was tender, tasty, and paired really well with the chiblam sauce that came with the combo. I also enjoyed the brisket which had a nice bark on the edges and solid flavor. I thought the chicken was probably my least favorite item since it was noting to write home about. The greens were solid and had turkey meat in them which is always a nice touch. I personally would've preferred the baked beans to be sweeter. Seems like they try to lean in a more savory direction with the beans here, but I wish they fully committed and gave them a saltier/smokier vibe. Finally, the Latkes were awesome. Dense, crispy on the outside, and served with sour cream and applesauce (classic). I could probably eat the Latkes and lamb all day. Overall I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. I also heard that they sold out of the salmon and dino ribs that day, so I'll have to return to try those out. Crazy Block had a nice family-friendly casual ambiance and great food. The staff were kind and helpful and even gave out Pokemon cards to the kids. I'll definitely be coming back here to try those dino ribs and fill up on more Latkes. Check em out during your next Lakeshore crawl. read more

The brisket sandwich was really good however it's super irritating that they don't give you a generous amount of bbq sauce on the sandwich in fact it's really not enough at all to truly enjoy it. Therefore you have to go back up to the counter, wait in line and actually pay extra for a side of bbq sauce which is only a dollar but the inconvenience of having to go through the entire process was enough to spoil my experience. Please just give more sauce up front and add the dollar to the price of the sandwich. Thanks. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and I'm so happy it did not disappoint. I ordered 2lbs of the brisket and 2 lbs of the dino bone (beef ribs). Both cuts of meat were tender, smokey, and delicious. This was the first BBQ place I've been to that asked me if I wanted the brisket with lean pieces, fatty pieces or mixed. I got the mixed and it was a great combination. I also enjoyed the habanero bbq sauce and the chiblam sauce. I didn't get to try their cheesecake this time, but my husband who is a cheesecake lover did and he said it was really really good! read more

Was fortunate to encounter Crazy Block Cheesecakes at one of Yelp's own events 1-ish year ago. At that particular event, his menu boasted a "Henny Praline" cheesecake that I wanted to try so badly. Well, one year and a brick & mortar later, I finally got the chance over the weekend! Located along Lakeshore Ave (right next to Philz Coffee), Crazy Block not only does crazy/unique cheesecake flavors, but also BBQ, latkes, and it looks like the menu is ever-expanding!! Once you walk inside, it's like entering a millennial kid's dream hangout - huge murals of popular anime/tv characters like Goku, Pikachu (pre-unchunked, aka the best form), PowerPuff Girls, Ryu, and more. The vibrant colors reel you in, but the food and service is what hooks you! We placed our order with Mr. Block himself and he was so nice and helpful. Throughout our meal, we could overhear him greeting return patrons as if they were the best of buds. It was really fun to experience. We ended up ordering: CHIBLAM (smoked chicken quarter, brisket, and pulled lamb) - Some of the most tender, juicy meat I have ever eaten. The fatty brisket had NO structure and just melted in the mouth. This combo plate had the best deal because it gave us the most variety (you also get a choice of two sides). The pickled red onion and pickle spears were acidic and cut through the fattiness well. Latkes - These were so crispy and the apple sauce on top paired so well together. Mac n cheese - Creamy, thick, cheesy as God intended. Cornbread - Our resident Southern friend said that this was legit. It also came with a side of homemade habanero hot honey! 6 mini cheesecakes sampler pack... with these flavors: Ube french toast - So ube-y. The french toast is made using challah - yum! OG NY - This was for my neighbor, and she absolutely loved it. BPBCC - AKA Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. This was a favorite among the ones we tried (both past and present), so we got a second one. Banilla Bean - Banana-y, very much banana pudding vibes Henny praline - FINALLY I get to taste! This was so rich and delicious. The Henny is present and the SO enjoyed it when I brought it home. We devoured the BBQ plate and latkes between the 3 of us and left so satisfied. What a treasure to have this place in Oakland. I hope Crazy Block is here to stay - I am rooting for them! read more

The food is incredible! Tender and flavorful. Staff is so helpful, chill very welcoming from the minute you walk in. Ambiance 10 out of 10.

This is a casual, stop by anytime kind of place. You get in line, place your order, and find a table. They call your number when your food is ready. My first observation was that the owner has a booming voice! However, don't fear, he was friendly with good energy. We ordered the "Chiblamb" (a combo of chicken, brisket, and lamb), which is just fun to say, and was very good! The brisket was my favorite but all three are worth getting depending on your bbq preferences. You didn't need a knife for the brisket, so tender, it just fell off with a fork. I liked the BBQ sauce. Was a pretty big plate so glad we decided to share - it seemed ample for two people if you have regular appetites. It came with a choice of two sides and pickles. We got the collard greens and yams. The collard greens were delicious. We didn't like the sweet yams - they had a flavor that I wasn't into. I'll pick another option next time. Also got an order of latkes. I'm not an expert in them but they were crispy and flavorful. Since the place is named for their cheesecakes, we got a mini one to try even though we were full. Picked the ube cheesecake and glad we did. Don't forget to scrape the crust from the bottom as you finish it up. Will definitely go back and take our kids - think they would enjoy the BBQ. read more

I was on the hunt for dessert while in the Oakland area and stumbled upon this hidden gem--and I'm so glad I did! It's not just a cheesecake spot--they also serve BBQ?! When I first walked in, I was surprised to see the BBQ setup and thought I might've entered the wrong place. But then I saw the display case filled with cheesecakes, and I knew I was in the right spot. There were so many flavor options, and I loved that they offered samples--definitely a bonus for first-timers like me! I came specifically for the cheesecake this time, but I'm definitely coming back to try the BBQ too. I picked up the original cheesecake, cookies & cream, passion fruit, and lemon. I enjoyed all of them except the cookies & cream--it was a bit heavy on the cookie side for my taste. It was creamy and delicious, but the crust was also good too and usually you rarely get both. But overall, everything was delicious, and I'll absolutely be back for more! read more

This may just be some of the tastiest cheesecake I've ever had. We had several Crazy Block flavors catered to a recent corporate event, and they were the stars of the show! I quite enjoyed the Banoffee flavor ... it was the perfect mix of sweet and salty, with a cookie crust that made me want to go back for more. I took a second mini cheesecake back to my hotel room for later, and would definitely be a regular customer if I lived in the area. Big thanks to the Crazy Block team for crafting such memorable mini desserts! read more

This review is a for a TGTG order! Visited the kitchen where they make the cheesecake and it's in the commercial area of Alameda! Parking is plenty! The drive from my house was around 30 minutes so, I didn't get there until 1:20PM(their pick up ends at 1:30!). I did see other TGTG customer, as the pickup window is a bit narrow, just 30 minutes. At first, I was given a bag with 1 medium plain cheesecake and 1 mini salted caramel cheesecake, which would be a $15 value. Didn't meet the $18 minimum value, but I thought, "maybe they just ran out, it's okay, I still got cheesecake!". (The cheesecakes also come frozen. My thoughts process is they bring these to sell at farmers markets, and freeze whatever they have left?) As I'm walking away, the guy is chasing after me with 2 more minis. I was super excited and well really happy. He handed me a 1 mini plain and 1 mini salted caramel. The New York style cheesecake was creamy and delicious. I love how the crust is a little bit saltier, which balanced out the sweetness! I haven't tried to Salted caramel yet, but will try it tonight! read more

Great homemade spot! We tried the ribs, brisket, lamb, and chicken, with Mac and cheese, yams, a sweet coleslaw and cheesy cornbread. It was served with in-house pickled onions and a dill spear. Omg- it was so good. The pickle and cornbread were actually my faves, but the lamb and brisket were also great. The owner was very friendly, service was quick, and the cheesecakes were also good, especially the henny. read more
