Best cheesecake in the city hands down! I just wish they were open 7 days a week. Love this place

Ordered the tiramisu cake. It was a good cake, but not the kind of tiramisu flavor I prefer. There was a lot of light cream and drizzle. But the cake was a little dense, and the flavor gears towards the more plasticky coffee taste. That being said, I was just super picky, but my family seems to enjoy it. I do like that it wasn't soaked in alcohol flavor, which a lot of tiramisu places tend to do. Overall, I would come back and try their other pastries and cake. Everything seems super affordable. read more

Not sure why I never reviewed this bakery before. I have been going here for over 10 years. It doesn't look like your typical bakery because there is not a typical storefront, but if you know you know lol. I used to work down the block and saw lines around the corner so I knew it had to be good. Once I tried it, I was hooked. They are known for their cheesecake, but everything is amazing and fresh. It's family owned and run. Everyone is so nice! It's a must try! Just a tip...it's cash only! read more

I love cookies. Italian cookies are my kryptonite. Overall, I'm not a huge sweets person as I prefer more savory and fresher tasting foods. The cookies from La Cheesecakes are truly an exception. These cookies are sweet, but not overly so. The chocolate glaze and sprinkles (not all of their cookies have them, but the ones that do are my favorites!) add such a nice smoothness and crunch factor to their cookies. The almond or raspberry jams that could be found within these cookies are also both exceptional and not too sweet! The cookie itself is nice and crumbly with a strong flavor of vanilla. They are buttery, light, and absolutely delicious when combined with the jams and glaze+sprinkles combination. The best part is that a half dozen of these goes for less than $6! For the quality and satisfaction of the cookies, this is truly a steal. Lastly, the people working there are so nice! They are fast, courteous, and extremely polite. I really am glad I found this bakery so close to my workplace! read more

ITS SO FLUFFY!! --- That's literally what came to mind when I had a bite of the cheesecake from here. I don't know how they make it, but the texture is amazingly soft and moist. Like a boss, my plastic knife sliced through the cake like I was slicing through butter..so smoothly with minimal effort. With a glass of milk at my side, I proceeded to eat not one, not two, not even three, but four generous slices of cheesecake. I've gotten the original plain, marble and marble chocolate chip cheesecakes. I really like the original (you can't go wrong with a classic plain cheesecake), but my favorite so far is that marble chocolate chip. Like the others that I've tried, the cheesecake is very airy, unlike Junior's which is more dense and heavy. The addition of the chocolate chips add a subtle sweetness in each bite. Everything sold there is made fresh in-house. I've also had their linzer tarts, rainbow cookies, chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chip pecan squares. Those pecan squares though!! If you're not allergic to nuts, I suggest you give them a try; they are amazing! La Cheesecake..the only reason why I go to College Point..loll :D read more

Love their cheesecake and especially their rainbow log. Unfortunately I could eat the whole log myself. It's so freaking good.

WOW. They are so improved. But expensive. I was a regular customer at La Cheesecake for about 20 plus years. About six years ago the cake, pastry, pies, were so bad. We stopped going there. Yesterday I went and purchased a pound of cookies and a whole cheesecake. WOW have they improved. We left cookies in the fridge overnight and today the filling was still soft. Didn't become like hard taffy like before. The cheesecake was as good as Juniors. But for better quality you have to pay. You know what we will pay for better quality. Next week I am going back for the cake. Much better than traveling to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Much better than traveling to Manhattan or Brooklyn. La Cheesecake is as good or better. Thank you. read more

I always order from this place around the holidays, let me tell you it's never a let down. Usually i' a fan of the rainbow bars and apple pies. There cheesecakes are phenomenal. Today we had the rainbow cheesecake and it was insane. Perfect combo of cheese cake and rainbow cookie bar. read more

We came in on a recommendation. SPECTACULAR!! One of the best cheesecakes I have ever had!!! Not to mention the crumb cake!! We will be back. Well worth the drive!! Super friendly staff! read more

The front is handled by mostly teenagers. That saying that his bad, because his business is very fast, paced with a line out and around the block. Especially during the holidays. The fact of the youth helps get the customers in and out in a quick and efficient way. This is a takeout place for desserts only so really can't say much about the ambience. Food whether it's a cheesecake, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, or anything else to your wanting is amazing, delicious and very well rounded for a sweet shop bakery. read more

Stopped here with my daughter on Sat morning. No line.(only 3 customers allowed At a time) We came to get a cheesecake and the rainbow log.(rainbow cookies uncut and in a log form.) Both are the best you can get, super moist and rich tasting. Also got cannolis, they may not be as good as Fortunatos in Brooklyn but they are very good. Highly recommend everything here.(cash only). read more

La Cheesecake - Rainbow Cookies ! - Bakeries Near Me - College Point, New York

Best cheesecake in queens, born and bread in queens so i know, however there hours are limited make sure to check before you go.

We stopped to grab some pastries and it was the first time coming to la cheesecake. Trying to eat better so I only had a black and white cookie. Hands down one of the best black and whites I've had in a long time. It's def going to be trouble considering this is right down the road from my job. It's going to take a whole lot of willpower to not step foot in there. Everything looked fantastic as well!! Highly recommend checking them out. read more

Cheese cake was the only good item , I order the chocolate cup cake and cannoli , the cup cake and the cannoli tasted like sugar only . Also the lady there , wasn't the best to work with read more

Good place for the family! I recommend this place for family gathering. The crew is cool and the place is outstanding.

Delicious bakery! Friendly community inside, great with suggestions. Loved the mini-cheesecake, succulent and creamy, with the perfectly sweet & tart fruit wonderful in texture on top. Would love to try all of their cheesecakes! What I didn't see on display was the rainbow cookie bars, but thankfully I knew that they existed from prior research. They are H E F T Y. One needs to be split with a friend...or two. Absolutely delicious!! Nice thick chocolate exterior and moist cake inside, with fresh tasting jelly. Easy street parking right across the way. read more

Fav go to bakery to travel for. They always have freshly baked cheesecakes, but don't be fooled they also have pies, and other options to satisfy your craving. Only 2 people at a time. Cash only read more

If you love freshly baked goods, you will love this place. If you ever see the line, don't be discouraged because you know that's how good this place is. Definitely worth the wait every time. The cheesecake is delicious and fresh every time. It's cash only. They have rainbow cookie bars that are amazing as well. Their cupcakes are beautiful and delicious. Their staff is so sweet and friendly. read more

Heard about this place via FB...so I thought I'd give it a try. Got there at 10:27 on a Saturday and there were already 5 people waiting. Came for their signature rainbow bar and picked up some other items as well. Service was great! Everything was delicious!! The cannolis and rainbow bar were soooo good. Only bad thing was having to cut the bar into slices, the chocolate kept breaking apart. The cheesecakes were sooo creamy and perfectly portioned (it's about a cupcake size). The cookies were big! For $9.50/dozen, I expected bite size cookies. I will definitely be back to try other things. read more

La Cheesecake is a College Point institution, it has been around for 30 years and it really does produce quality products at very reasonable prices. The location is off the beaten path and it's mostly a local's spot, unless you drive. I came to pickup a few items for a friend that works in the area and I was very pleased with the items I had purchased. Inside is just a to go counter, but there are these giant ovens in the back, it's nice that everything is made in house, kinda sick of all the mass produced products out there. The food: Plain Cheesecake- I guess I should start with this item. I thought the cheesecake was really nice. it was smooth, light, airy and fluffy. I also like the fact that it wasn't too sweet. My only criticism would be that I thought the filling was a tad grainy, but overall a very nice cheesecake. Chocolate Chip Pecan Square- I thought this was very good, it had awesome crunch on the bottom and had a nice pecan texture, I did find the square to be too sweet, a glass of milk woulda been perfect. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=FFDby9dV_1Kv88w22WHXAg Crumb Cake- My first bite, I thought it was a tad boring. The more I ate, the more I really liked it. The yellow cake bottom was made really well, it was light, fluffy and moist, the top crumb texture was nicely crunchy. It was basically a really well made coffee cake with powdered sugar on top. It would go great with a cup of coffee. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=iWoJk45JmUt8elKBINCPbA Rainbow Bar- This is one of their top items and it was pretty good. I did think it was supposed to be like a Rainbow Cookie, but rather it was more like a soft rainbow cake. It has a outer chocolate layer followed by a rainbow colored center with a fruit filling. The bites should be cut as a whole cross section so you can get all the flavors in one bite. Apple Crumb Tart- I thought this was good, it had very nice crunchy top but I was so so about the filling. The filling to me was too Mcd's apple pie like. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=fakkAajvLErljzZf-h08lA Cannoli- It was a good cannoli, the filling had nice texture and a good mouth feel. The shell was nice and crunchy. Red Velvet Cupcake- It was a good cupcake, it was moist and was not too sweet. I am a fan. read more

Best. Cheesecakes. Period. And best black and whites. Worth the stop & the line!! Wish I knew what restaurants carry this cheesecake...

We ordered three mini strawberry cheesecakes, two oreos and one blueberry, along with one mini regular and mini chocolate dipped cannoli for $18.35. The strawberry and blueberry toppings were freshly topped onto the regular cheesecakes and was not too sweet and went well with my coffee. The cheesecakes are on the soft creamy side, instead of the firm side. I would come back to order a full cheesecake next time for a party. read more

I've been getting this cheesecake since I was a little kid and lived across the street with my parents. The cheesecake is both delicious and nostalgic for me. read more

The best and always fresh. The ladies there are always so helpful and pleasant. The bakery is small but always so clean and smells so good. The Chocolate mousse cake is to die for and the cheese cake and pastries are the best around. Go, you wont regret it. read more

Community staple; long lines but that just shows how good the cheesecakes are. Ordered for Thanksgiving and thankfully they were still open!

I am telling everyone I know about this and I truely wonder how the prices are so competitive and the quality so high. I ordered assorted cookies for Father's Day, a complete hit! I didn't know whether the cookies would be so yummy b/c the price was just too good to be true. Not only were the cookies delicious they were also perfectly cooked and super fresh! I will see you very soon!! read more

Best cheesecake ever. If you live in college point, know that you have access to the greatest cheesecake in a city/state where cheesecake wars are still raging on. Little do they know that this clear winner doesn't boast with multiple locations and expansions and big red neon signs and stupid social media accounts affirming horrible cheesecakes for ulterior motives. Don't forget to grab cash. read more

Best cheesecake in the neighborhood. Pecan bar also really good. Can't wait to try more.

My absolute favorite place to get desserts. It's super convenient and delicious! They have a variety of desserts that anyone can get and they are super fresh. My personal favorites are their cannolis (I can't get enough of them), their cream puffs, and their black and white cookies. Their tasty treats aren't even that sweet and this is coming from someone who often tries to stay away from dessert places in fear of it being too sweet, but this place really hit the sweet spot for me. read more

THIS CHEESECAKE CHANGED ME- SERIOUSLY SO FREAKING GOOD It was fluffy in all the right places and creamy in all the wrong places. This cheesecake paid my college debt and cured my depression. It's seriously that freaking good. On a more serious note, I've never had cheesecake like this in my life. It reminds me of a blend of NY cheesecake and Japanese cheesecake: creamy yet light and fluffy. Honestly in love right now. The only con is that the store is so far for me. I hope you guys open a location in Manhattan! Cheers read more

TL;DR: their pumpkin cheesecake is NOT a New York-style cheesecake. Be warned if that's what you were looking for. I had the best apple crumb pie of my life at work last year from a co-worker who said she got it from here, so I came by the Tues before Thanksgiving to pick up a New York-style cheesecake from here (all their advertising says they do New York style). I asked the worker what kinds of cheesecake they had, and she rattled off an impressively long list, with pumpkin at the end of it. In light of the holiday season, I chose the pumpkin cheesecake and was excited to give it a try. Fast forward to Thanksgiving, and it was NOT the dense, graham cracker crust, cream cheese-type cheesecake I expect from New York style. Instead, it was basically a cake-sized pumpkin pie covered with whipped cream. Pumpkin pie filling, no crust at all, no cheese. See photo. I called the next day and spoke to Stephanie at the story who politely explained to me that that's just how they make it, and offered to have her boss give me a call. Haven't heard back since. JFYI: the rest of their offerings may be great (and it's a busy joint, always a good sign!) but just know what you're getting if you order what I did. I wish I knew that before I ordered. read more

Pleasantly surprised! The cheesecake was delicious and the chocolate eclair out of this world. Prices are fair, and the family feeling is unmatched. Definitely going back. read more

Small store, but the cheesecake is really good! I just drop by to pick up some mini cheesecake for some friends that came over last minute, and they were really good. Will come back to try some other things read more

Service is really nice. So I'm really sorry for the one star this has nothing to do with them. I have been eating sweets from here since like 25 years ago. Specially after church my parents always get the cookies. But anyways, I purchased the key lime pie just recently and I bought it for a birthday and it was the most disappointing cheesecake EVER. Soooo sweet like disgustingly sweet, not edible. No one ate it because they all thought the same and I love sweet stuff so I hope that speaks volumes. I know when I cook and over salt something I can either fix it or sometimes it's sad but to the garbage it goes. This one HAD to go to the garbage like the fact they still put it for sale is just so disheartening. They have been in business for how long? I can't believe this wasn't a concern and just really sad because none of the guest ate it and it had to be thrown out. And it's just embarrassing to buy a cake for people, telling them it's really good and blah blah and they pull this. So basically just threw my money in the garbage. I would have rather left it in the tip jar. I really hope that doesn't happen again with anyone and they are more aware of their cooking or maybe need cooking classes please. read more
