The classic New York Cheesecake was our favourite. It was dense and creamy. You could taste the sweetness and creaminess the cake but also well balanced with the biscuit base.

Not bad.

I love their original cheesecake, which is full of ingredients and has a strong cheese flavor. But it is too difficult to cut into small pieces, if it can be cut well before selling, it will be more perfect.

Nice cake great deal

From the moment the cake arrives, elegantly packaged and promising much, the first impression is already a success — the cheesecake looks unpretentious yet inviting, with its smooth top and golden-brown graham crust whispering the promise of classic comfort.

Texture & Mouthfeel
The texture is where this cheesecake truly shines. The cream-cheese layer is luxuriously smooth and lush, melting almost silkily on the tongue. It hits that desirable balance of richness and lightness — dense enough to feel substantial, yet never heavy or cloying. The interplay of its velvety filling against the subtle crunch of the graham-cracker base gives each bite a satisfying depth. Many reviewers describe it as “melt-in-your-mouth” — and that description fits rather well.

Flavor Profile
The flavour is decidedly pure and classic: a delicate tang from the cream cheese, softened by gentle notes of vanilla bean — enough to evoke a familiar warmth without overwhelming the senses. It’s creamy and slightly sweet, with a satisfying richness that lingers just the right amount. The crust plays its supporting role admirably, offering a subtle buttery, slightly sweet base that complements rather than competes with the cheesecake’s dairy-rich filling.

Overall Impression & Suitability
This cheesecake embodies what most of us expect when we order a “New-York-style cheesecake”: richness, creaminess, a hint of indulgence — and restraint. It isn’t trying to be fancy or flashy; instead, it delivers something timeless, comforting, and reliably satisfying. For family gatherings, weekend treats, or whenever you crave a classic dessert that doesn’t over-promise but still delivers, this is a dependable choice.

Minor Quibbles
If you prefer cheesecakes with a more pronounced crust — something buttery and crunchy — you might find the crust here a little understated. And for those who love heavier, super-dense cream-cheese cakes with a very pronounced “cheesecake” punch, this version might lean toward the lighter side of “classic.” A small number of reviewers have mentioned that in comparison to other local cheesecakes, they expected a more pronounced buttery aroma from the crust.
