What a great discovery that we wish we knew about sooner! The place doesn't look like much from the outside and inside is small and could use updating, but the cheesecake is excellent. Slices will run you $12-18, but you are getting quality here. No cheap ingredients and nothing is overly sweet. Tastes exactly as a cheesecake should. Options are limited but rotating. The seating set up isn't great and neither is the use of space, so we suggest walking up to the counter and taking your order to go. Staff is super friendly and helpful and asked if we had been before - something everywhere should do. Overall a really great choice. No hype; just great cheesecake. read more

Best cheese cake in Canada AND the USA. SUPER adorable and friendly setting, feels like home when you enter. The staff are amazing and so thoughtful. Also, if you have a recommendation on a new type of cheesecake, let them know. It may be the new best seller! As for picking a favourite? Good luck! They are all amazing. read more

If i was asked to name a place that is worth driving to Halifax, I would name this. So glad we came here on our trip. This was hands down the best cheesecake we have ever had, they had soo many flavours and none of their offerings were overly sweet. Environment was very romantic and chic, would make for a good dessert stop on a date night. For anyone who is visiting Halifax, this is a place you don't want to miss. read more

The cheesecake slices simply don't worth $9 a piece. My family came here after lunch looking for some sweet treats, only found the cheesecake to be extremely heavy and sweet. It's probably why they are more expensive, but still, way overpriced. To be frank, we didn't enjoy them and we couldn't even finish them. Not even with a large amount of water and tea. I do feel bad for giving a low rating because the owner was quite friendly. But I am just sharing my honest opinion and anyone who do not love really heavy dessert should save their $9 for the piece. read more

Supper good cheesecake and even vegan options!! This place is small and appears to do exclusively cheesecake (although I did see they had a brownie on the counter when I arrived. I had the lemon blueberry they came with a great blueberry/lemon sauce on the side. My daughter had the cookies and cream and my husband the Oreo vegan. All were very good! Nice snd creamy, dense and flavorful. They're not cheap, at 8 something a piece, but hey, as a special treat, you can't do better! The variety of flavors make choosing hard. The pieces are pretty big, so by a few different and share them! Great little local business! read more

Went twice so far...here goes nothing. They have okay cheesecake nothing to blow your mind. I felt for $8 a slice, it should've being bigger and tastier than it actually was. They're drinks are $3 each and they are much better than the cheesecake but still a bit pricey for what you get. The store is tiny, if you want to go to relax and chill don't go when they're busy, it just won't work. Given this place's limited space they will almost always be congested in a load and noisy atmosphere. On my last visit they almost asked us to leave so they could make room for other customers coming in. Overall this place is good, but not great. For the premium pricing of their menu but not so stellar accommodation, they got an average rating. read more

Bit pricey for cheesecake but I'll pay it all day! OMFG best dessert ever. For a celiac, trapped in a world of fruit salad or ice cream desserts this is a hella treat! They are so good, and staff is really gluten aware I really feel OK ordering from them. Took a friend (vegan and GF, poor darling!) For cheesecake celebrations on her birthday. And the staff didn't disappoint. She had vegan GF chocolate raspberry and I had gluten free double chocolate brownie. When they delivered the goodies to us they had lit a candle for her (so cute) and she got to have a real awesome birthday cake! Thanks for being fab and helping out the GF folks. We love sweet hereafter! read more

Sweet Hereafter - Chocolate amazingness (GLUTEN FREE!!!!!) - Bakeries Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

There are times when I love Yelp (okay those times are pretty much from 12a - 11:59p on a daily basis but stick with me on this train of thought). Times like yesterday when my wife and I were hankering for something sweet to partake in and not sure where to go. I turned to my trusty yelp mobile app and typed in the word "dessert"... Oh dear Yelp Mobile App how you were so good to us as you directed us to this delicious place the "Sweet Hereafter". The first thing I noticed on the yelp page was Ben's review and since I am sort of crushed out on this manly goodness after my first cashmob I knew that if Ben loved this place, then so would my wife and I. We were not disappointed. We decided to ditch the car and walk the 1.2 miles (or 1.9 km for my Canadian friends) over to Quinpool (because when you are going to eat cheesecake/cupcakes you really should walk to help burn off the calories). Here are some of things I love about Sweet Hereafter: 1. The decor: fun fun fun....oh and fun! 2. The photobooth: I could have stayed there for quite a bit trying on all the different costume combination and having my picture taken. Talk about an instagram party! 3. The service: granted we went very early in the after so not too many people to contend with (in fact, we were all alone) but I suspect that if the place was packed they would be just as friendly. 4. The cupcakes: Confession - we knew that we were going to share one for the walk back but we couldn't decide on which one so we got all three that they were offering. Pink, Red and Chocolate (I'm not very good at remembering the flavors)! All delicious and the perfect size for sharing! 5. The cheesecake: We were hoping that we would be able to get a slice of the peanut butter / chocolate but that was not being served at the moment (oh darn another reason to go back!). Instead my wife opted for the chocolate raspberry while I went with a slice of triple berry. After waiting for the first sugar buzz to dissipate we grabbed our forks and took part in the cheesecakeryOMGness. I'm not much of a cheesecake person but after having a slice from the Sweet Hereafter, you can bet I will go back again and again... After a lot of walking of course! Oh and if you needed another reason to check this place out, they offer gluten free and vegan delicacies... seriously people, this is a must try place! read more

What can I say about this place? Of every creation on the menu, I have challenged myself to try at least 1 new one every time I buy a slice. I have not yet found a miss! I have ordered 6 whole cakes (5, 9' and 1, 6'). Mostly for birthdays. Now the number of slices I have eaten would comprise close to the amount of whole cakes I've had! I love the fact they have Gluten Free and Vegan options, I cant eat the vegan but I do really enjoy the Gluten Free option! The chef is a wonderfully accommodating person, if you call, tweet, email or facebook them he will find a way to shift his baking around to make sure the flavor you want is in the showcase on the day you come in! (just give him AT least a day notice (for a slice), 2-3 for a FULL cake!) The staff are all wonderful! Especially the owners! If you come in more then a time or two they will treat you like one of the family! Its this "east coast" hospitality that really makes this place so much more amazing then just the food! This place is WORTH the extra inches to your waistline! read more

Who knew we have a cheesecake dessert bar?! So happy I found this place! It's a cute little restaurant hidden below a flight academy school (took me two drive bys to find it) When you go in, you go up to the fridge choose you cheesecake and grad a seat. I actually love this idea because it's fast and you know the cheesecake is fresh! Can't wait to go back! read more

I don't even know what to say except that I will come here again and again. It was the most amazing cheesecake experience, honestly. Also as someone who is dairy free, the vegan chocolate raspberry cheesecake was just as delicious as any dairy cheesecake that I can remember having. The restaurant is the most chic and adorable place ever, the staff are so friendly, and even though the price is high, the cake and tea and worth it. Ten on ten recommend! read more

Sweet Hereafter - Vegan chocolate raspberry - Bakeries Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Nice spot for a late snack or after dinner desert. The service isn't too intense, they have a glass case full of available cakes (~8 at a time) where you order and they bring it to you shortly after, so it stays pretty intimate with who you're with with few interruptions. The decor is pleasant and comfortable for the most part, but a few tables have awkward height differences between the tables and chairs. The cost is similar to a desert an average restaurant and is well worth it. Both the taste and presentation was very good. Ps milk is a must, and they don't skimp on the tall glass read more

Sweet Hereafter - Peanut butter chocolate, very good but cookies and cream is better - Bakeries Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Stopped in tonight to see what everyone has been raving about. I don't even really like cheesecake very much but figured I should at least give it a try so I could write a Yelp review (ha ha). I got the Red Velvet cheesecake ($8) which was red velvet cake on top of vanilla cheesecake. It was good. Usually I find red velvet cake has an odd taste, but this was actually the highlight of my dessert. My son had a chocolate caramel cupcake ($3.25) which he devoured, and I brought home a piece of Oh Henry cheesecake ($8) for the other half, which he loved. The service was lovely and prompt, and the inside of this place is somehow funky and elegant at the same time. They had gluten free and vegan options in the cooler as well. It's a little pricey and given the fact that I'm just not much of a cheesecake girl (though this was awesome) I will be back for special occasions but not on a regular basis. read more

Spotted on for the first time tonight and was surprised to hear live music and a relaxed atmosphere. We were shown to the display cabinet to make our selection and then relaxed in some comfy lounge chairs. I was apprised at the cost of the cheesecake and coffee ordered, but it's comparable in price to desert at a nice restaurant, but with better quality and selection. read more

I live right across the street from Sweet Hereafter.... which is both good and bad for me and the money in my pocket. If I had the chance, I would live in the restaurant forever. Yes, that's how good it is. The decor is amazing and I absolutely love that it's family owned and operated. And I love that the chef will come out and talk to you about the flavours and if you're enjoying the food. He's always looking for insight and suggestions. I absolutely love that there are vegan options there, as well as gluten-free options. If you're trying to impress someone, seriously listen to me and head on to Sweet Hereafter, you won't regret that decision at all! read more

Sweet Hereafter - Triple chocolate cheesecake aka heaven - Bakeries Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

While I haven't eaten in, I purchased a groupon for a cheesecake. I called in 24 hours in advance as required and service over the phone was friendly and very efficient. I stopped on the next day and the cafe is decorated as a cross between a tea room and a lounge, beautiful in an Alice and wonderland way. My cheesecake was ready and I was on my way home in no time flat. The cheesecake is small but filling so a little goes a long way, it served six for dessert and there was a small slice leftover. I ordered the classic NY style and it was delicious, a hit with everyone and my mom has already requested one for her birthday. They are a little expensive bit worth it for a cheesecake fan. I look forward to trying more flavored. read more

Showed up 15min prior to close, staff greeted me politely and were helpful. Bought two single slices: cookies and cream and s'mores. Big pieces of cheesecake. Like twice the size of a restaurant serving. Both flavours were distinct and delicious. The sliced were nicely packaged and I was really happy. Except for the fact it came to 18 fu*kin dollars. I'm serious. Eighteen bucks for two pieces of cake. And then the place imposed the option to tip as well. For a take out order. Seriously overpriced. Sobeys cheesecakes were better and those guys were 8.99 per cake. read more

Yummy. And if you contact them a few days ahead you can request exactly what you want. Vegan. Gluten free. Dairy free. And everything is delicious. read more

I had the chance to finally pop into this place and try out some cheese cake, the flavors are diverse, they usually have 9 types of cheesecake out until the end of the day or if it sells out, very soothing environment, the I highly recommend the tangy Lemon Cheesecake. The only thing that kills it with a perfect 5 is the price VS portion, It is high quality, I can taste it, but about 8 dollars for I believe [not 100% sure, maybe a bit more] a slice that's 1/16th of the cake. read more

This isn't a restaurant this isn't a bakery this is a little version of heaven. You need to try this place!!

HOLY EXPENSIVE. 2 cups of coffee and 2 slices of cake for $27.00 + tip. I wasnt impressed at all by the coffee or cheesecake. The ambience nice. LOVED the decor and the staff Rocked ! read more

I've always found the service fine and the cheesecakes are amazing for sure. If the ambiance of a place matters to you you might prefer to stick with take out. The decor is fine but the lighting is harsh and makes you feel like you're in a hospital waiting room. Far from relaxing especially if they also forget to put on music. Very strange choice of unfrosted and glaring bare bulbs. Too bad bc I had high hopes. Finally a note - they only serve one roast of regular coffee. Instead of a medium roast, which is the usual compromise, it is a dark roast. read more

So yes we make this stop every time we visit Halifax! Their cheesecake is always superb. This time we tried the White Chocolate Rhubarb, though personally the rhubarb flavour was barely detectable, the cheesecake was still delicious and creamy! It's expensive but having travelled, it's the price you pay for these kinds of desserts! A must try if you are in the area! read more

A highlight when I visited Halifax! I tried chocolate peanut butter on the first day. Not so sweet but very smooth! It was so good that I went back the next day. read more

After having our dinner on Friday, we went to dig into some cheesecakes. The ambience is great. Especially for groups. Nice place to chill. We tried 3 kinds and all were simply amazing. Not to mention it's pricy. $8 per slice for any cheesecake. Service is nice too. Opened until 11 so definitely a late night option to meet your craving for sweet tooth. read more

Stopped by here a bit ago and got my mom a nice turtles cheesecake for her birthday. She loooooves cheesecake and was this ever good! I love cheesecake too but to be honest, this cake is beyond any that I've ever had. It's so rich and decadent I almost couldn't finish my one slice. They even have GF/vegan options as well! I love it when I see that, even though it's not nearly as tasty as gluten goodness. I'm not sure what the going rate for a slice of cheesecake is but I think it cost about $40-$50 for a whole cake. Great place! read more

I'll come out and say this first: Sweet Hereafter is on the pricey side. Be prepared to spend, like $9 + tax + tip on a slice of cheesecake. But damn it, you guys, it's totally worth it. I've had the pleasure of sampling various cheesecakes at a couple of Yelp events, plus I've visited the spot on my own time/dime for both take-out and eat-in. And I love everything about it. 1) The owners are delightful people who are truly passionate about their business and are clearly putting A LOT into what they do. 2) The decor is out of this world. It's like it was furnished in my dreams. 3) Delicious coffee, tea and other beverages. (Although I'd like Quinpool Rd. to figure out these pesky rules about selling booze. This place + cocktails would be heaven.) 4) Gluten free/vegan options that actually taste delicious! 5) ALL THE CHEESECAKE. Turtle? O'Henry? Red Velvet? Mango? I will have one of everything every day for the rest of my life, please. read more

I have no idea how I forgot to review this place. After many, upon many, trips there...I have never been disappointed!! 1. The owners/staff are the best I have come in contact with in the food service industry. Warm, inviting, helpful, accommodating. They go out of their way. And they learn who their regulars are and treat them well! 2. The atmosphere just blew me away when I first entered. I assumed, based on the building, it wouldn't be anything great. But man, this place makes me want to stay forever. I enjoy the large table at the back for groups- that is semi private. And they are more than accommodating in putting tables together in other areas 3. The cheesecake selection is unreal!!!!!! And if there is something you really want but is not in the cabinet....just ask, they may have a freshly made one out back. I have yet to have a cheesecake I didn't like. And Colin is always trying new flavors and changing with the seasons. I never used to like cheesecake but I think that they do it soo well, so smooth and so flavorful that it's hard not to like. 4. They support local! Selling Laughing Whale coffee, and Trinity Gold Lemonade, and cupcakes from a local baker. 5. They have vegan and gluten free cheesecake every night. How considerate is that! 6. They have over 60 flavors, and just ask, Colin will try to make your fav. 7. Their whole cheesecakes for take out are quickly replacing regular baday cakes in my family. They are soooo reasonably priced. 8. And free live music on Thursday nights! As you can see, I love it! read more

I really couldn't wait to write about this place. I visited this evening with a friend and though I am still feeling the effects of a (blissful, cheesecake induced) food coma, I needed to share how awesome this place is. The service was amazing- hands down the best I've had in Halifax. I felt like I was having tea and cake in an old friend's (very fancy) sitting room, not a restaurant (cheesecakery?) . I'm a big fan of the decor too- kind of boudoir, meets club, meets Gothic, meets awesome. But really, the standout above all else, was the delicious cheesecake. Pure perfection. I had a slice of cookies and cream, my friend tried the Oh Henry. Both were phenomenal. I almost got a piece of vegan Oreo cheesecake- it looked that appealing. For reals. Who knew. Anyway, while I don't think my waist line can accommodate frequent visits here, it was sure a decadent treat and will be high on my list of places to check out again. It's a shame the liquor laws on Quinpool are so backward- this place would be even more awesome than awesomesauce if I could enjoy a nice glass of wine along side of my cake. A girl can dream..... read more

Finally! Someone who truly gets the whole gluten free thing! So tired of those places that claim to be gluten free and such but totally screw it up. The owner/chef here has it figured out and should be applauded for same. Finally a place I can take my wife for a cheese cake treat and not be concerned whether she's gonna get sick! Thank you thank you thank you. read more

I seem to be giving out a lot of 5 star ratings lately but honestly, Yelp makes it so easy to pick the most fabulous places to frequent! My girls and I visited here this afternoon for some yummy indulgence, after reading the reviews I knew we were in for a treat. The chef greeted us promptly and began a run down on all the yummy desserts he had to offer - cheesecakes and cupcakes too. He had 9 different cheesecakes in the case (or was it 12?) but either way, picking one was tough! Two of the girls got the strawberry cheesecake with a drizzle of strawberry coulis, and I had the tropical green tea cheesecake. Omg you guys. I know cheesecake and so does this place, they do it WELL! It was mouth watering and we all had a hard time not eating it in one bite! We have already made plans to go back.. But let me talk about the service. Seriously, it was awesome, the chef himself told us about the cheesecakes and Once we picked our choice of food and delish beverage (I had a hot tea, the girls had homemade lemonade) they brought it all to the table and we paid once we were finished eating. They checked in on us and we all took some more home in the most adorable and carefully packed containers! Yeah, I took home two pieces. What of it? This place is a MUST to visit! read more

How have I not written a review for this place yet?! Where do I start? The Sweet Hereafter may have the best cheesecake in the world. My husband and I will venture down to Quinpool for a cozy date night in their cute dinning area or we'll grab a whole cake for a special occasion with the family. They have tons of flavours and if you want something that's not on their list, just ask and they'll attempt it. Everything is always delicious and fresh! The white chocolate raspberry is AMAZING! They are a little on the pricey side -$25 for 2 prices of cake, tea, and coffee - but it's a great occasional date night. And really, cheesecake should be an occasional thug anyways! read more

Such an amazing little spot. If you wanna take your girl on a first date or even if it's your 20 year anniversary and you both love cheesecake. This is the place to go. Amazing selection of cake and there creations are out of this world. Also they do gluten free dairy free and vegan cakes. Which is great for all them folks who like it that way. I have been here a few times for 2 different tastings and have also ordered cakes for special occasions. So if you got cheesecake on your mind. Give them a call or stop in and grab a slice. Absolutely amazing. And the staff and owners will gladly help you with what you need. read more

Wow, I am not a sweets fan, but I have been converted all thanks to Sweet Hereafter. My first experience was a few weeks ago when after work, a coworker and I went to use up a Groupon that she had purchased being it the last day that she could use it. We both got a slice of the most amazing, mouthwatering cheesecake I have ever had in my life and a cup of coffee. The server was friendly and dependable and checked in on us during our visit, the coffee was unexpectedly good, and did I mention it was the best cheesecake I have ever had in my life? My second chance to indulge in this treat was at the Yelp's First Burstday where there was a table with tasting portions laid out for us to try. When I walked in to see the food tables, I gravitated straight to the cheesecake and didn't want to leave.... my boyfriend actually had to pull me away. I'm still having dreams of it and now that I've been yelping about it, I'm going to have to make a plan to revisit this spot again very, VERY soon. read more

loved going here! Nice variety of selection, and pieces of the cheesecake were huge. definitely recommend.

My family and I are cheesecake fanatics. My little sister for example, constantly invents and re-consititutes cheesecake recipees from time to time and has us as her taste testers. So after hearing about this place, the siblings and I went to the Sweet Hereafter to test the waters albeit with a bit of skepticism. I have been there a few times now. Every time has been pure pleasure. We are a family that shares. After all sharing is caring right? We also brought with us a few friends. Which is a good because we would order 4-5 different cheesecakes based on what was available at the time and try eachothers dish. The cheescakes are of immaculate quality and the variety is always rotating its never the same old selection and appropriate as well in that there is always a cake for someone. My favorites so far have been the Apple Country (name?) and the Peanut Butter Chocolate cheese cake (with raspberry sauce). The constituency and thickness of the core of the cheesecake is important. This is what makes a good cheesecake from one that is just grainy, too sugary or stiff. Or sometimes you get cheesecakes that are devoid of flavour. This is never the case at Sweet Hereafter. The decor is sublime, I often think it looks like a the backdrop of (insert your favourite rnb singer) a music video. Its classy but fun. The price is ridiculously cheap. I think its too cheap for the quality if you ask me...this place is worth every penny. My bill was around $10 with two cups of coffee and a slice of cheesecake, taxes in. The only regret is I wish they had a liquor license because nothing beats eating cheesecake with a nice glass of white wine. The coffee and teas are great tho...and the host(s) are always amazing, appreciative and obviously proud of their establishment. Please support this heavenly little place and make sure it endures...its a favour to all of us... read more
