La Cheesecake

The two things that everyone seems to posting pictures of are the rainbow cookie bar and oreo cheesecake. I went there for those two items and it was well worth it. They are both unbelievable. Cash only so make sure to bring cash with you, its a small spot and everything looked great. I wouldve tried so much more if I hadn’t bought a huge cheesecake and several rainbow cookie bars like a fat guy. I’ll be back…

Best 7 layer rainbow cookie on earth ;)

The cheesecake itself deserves 5 stars. My family and I have been going to La Cheesecake for nearly 2 decades. It’s the most delicious cheesecake I’ve ever had anywhere. It’s rich and creamy, the texture is perfect, and just the right amount of sweet.
However, my recent experience and the quality of the toppings/​service deserves 2 stars.
Last week, I bought a 7″ cheesecake with cherry topping. The woman put the cherries on the cheesecake behind the counter and put a layer of wax paper over the cheesecake and closed the box before she brought it over to the register, so I did not see the pitiful state of the cherry topping until I got to my aunt’s house. When we took the wax paper off the top of the cake, the cake was covered in red jelly with only a few, very sorry looking cherries in it. It looked as if she had used the bottom of the jar of cherry topping. Normally, the cheesecake is covered in cherries.
I went back a few days later to complain and spoke to the same woman who had taken care of my original order. She turned out to be a manager. Instead of apologizing or offering a discount, she complained to me about how the distributor they buy their fruit toppings from keeps raising the price while simultaneously reducing the amount of actual fruit in the topping. She also said she would tell the staff to try to put more fruit on the cakes, which was ironic, considering she herself wasn’t doing that.
Overall, I’m disappointed by 1) the decline in the quality of their fruit toppings, 2) the way the prices keep rising (a 7″ cherry cheesecake was just shy of $ 20), and 3) the poor customer service. I don’t know if I’ll be back anytime soon.

LOVE THIS PLACE. I always make a trip here when I come home, and it’s a place I’ve been going to since I was little. This place make perfectly fluffy cheesecake without graham cracker crusts (personally it’s not my thing so I love these cakes) and delicious rainbow bars (basically a rainbow cookie before it is cut.) I can’t say enough good things about this place!!!

Pursuant to a review by one of the most trusted names in the world of Unilocal,Daphne M., I embarked on a journey to discover a new place in College Point. Frankly, when I looked at the address, I thought that I would be kidnapped and/​or shot immediately upon exiting my vehicle. I am glad that I survived to tell the tale.
Desserts are all this place really sells. Before I say anything, I’d like to recommend just one item: the Pecan Square. Forget that the name of this place has the word Cheesecake in it! The Pecan Square is what’s really amazing here, folks. I came to buy a whole Oreo Cheesecake, one of each of the baby cheesecakes, one of each flavor cannoli, two rainbow bars, and a Pecan Square. The thing that amazed me most was the Pecan Square. Sure, the cheesecake is quite fluffy and light enough to have all on your own, but the Pecan Square, man! Get it! The rainbow bar was a bit too sweet for me, but the cannoli was a perfect combination of crunchy outside and creamy inside.
The elephant in the room is that this place is not open from Mondays through Wednesdays. This creates an aura of what is essentially manufactured scarcity. Of course this place appears popular — everyone and their mother can only get it Thursdays through Sundays during certain hours. The appearance of scarcity is part of this bakery’s allure, though.
My photography skills aren’t the best (not everyone can be Lori L. or Elsie W., you know!) but the signs on the interior wall were creative and funny.
Tip: try not to have too many of these desserts before bedtime. I totally had a sugar high during bedtime! Insomnia ensued!

Hands down best cheesecakes around. They have a decent selection of cheesecakes. My favorite one is the Oreo cheesecake. The chocolate covered rainbow cookie is by far the best I’ve had. Everything made fresh daily. If you come on holidays make sure you arrive early the line is crazy.

I came here for thanksgiving baked goods. I got there around 11am, and there was a line there! I waited about 20mins. I ordered two cheesecakes. They were delicious but there isn’t a crust on the cheesecakes. I kind of enjoy the crust on cheesecakes. Others seemed to enjoy it though. Not bad of a cheesecake at all.

This is the second thanksgiving in a row where I purchased pies (pumpkin, coconut custard and apple crumb) for the holiday. In addition I purchased a bunch of rainbow cookies. We really didn’t remember how the pies were last year… so we figured we would give it another shot. Now I know that they weren’t memorable. The rainbow cookies are amazing. My entire family’s favorite. The pies were just ok. The apple crumb was the best. I would get it again. The coconut custard was not worth it. Absolutely no flavor. The entire pie minus two small pieces went in the trash after sitting in my fridge for six days. The pumpkin was just ok… not worth the trip from where I live. I hear the cheesecakes are amazing but pies are the tradition for the holiday. Stick with the rainbow cookies.

Really great pastries. They’re known mostly for their cheesecake, but I’m not a huge fan. The other baked items they sell are great. The best rainbow bars and cream puffs. The apple crumb pie will make you slap your momma it’s so good. Line around the block during the holidays. Only open thurs to sunday. Cash only.

A sweet little bakery with a small town feel.
Embarrassed to say I didn’t order cheesecake. It was our anniversary and my wife loves cannoli… These were great cannoli, crisp, delicious filling, chocolate robed.
Kudos also for a semolina bread. Fresh, great crumb, still excellent two days later.
I’m only giving four stars because I didn’t love their cookies, a bit dry and crumbly, not as buttery as I would have expected.
Nice, friendly service.

If you happen to be around the College Point area and are in the lookout for a soft, pillowy, lighter-​than-​air cheesecake — then you have come to the right place! (Just make sure you have cash, they don’t take credit cards.) I ordered a plain cheesecake on the spot and they happened to have one sitting on a cooling rack not too far away from the counter. This shop has been around for quite awhile, so you better believe everything is basically homemade!
The display in front upon entering the front door was quite attractive as well, especially those chocolate cannoli, which is next on the list!

This is a known bakery where I’ve heard people travel to. I always order there cannoli cake. The cheesecakes are really good too but my favorite cake is the cannoli one. It’s always fluffy and moist and not overly sweet. I also like their rainbow cookies. Once in a while I bring them to the office as a treat. They have weird hours so make sure that you look double check that they’re open.

DO NOT PUT A PIECE OF CHEESECAKE IN FRONT OF ME… AND NOT EXPECT FOR IT TO BE GONE IN A SEC. When you put a piece of cake from this little gem of a store… well you get the picture! Can’t say anything bad about this place or the goodies that come out… It’s a little hard to find this place… but LOOK FOR IT!!! you won’t be sorry! TWO LOUD MEOWS AND A CAT SHAKE!!!

Great bakery amazing cookies and treats. The apple pie is amazing and the cheesecake is better then anywhere else. The only problem is it’s only open Thursday threw Sunday except for holidays.

The best bakery in Queens! The cheesecake with different toppings is outstanding and my favorite is the carrot cake and cupcakes.

Let’s talk incredible cheesecake and pastries! La Cheesecake is a must go; it’s tiny little shop and excellent pastries make this place the perfect homestyle bakery. Employees were all very happy to be there and happy to help customers. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CASH, no credit cards accepted.
LA Cheesecake has all sorts of cheesecakes, regular sized and minis to buy without ordering. They also have specialty cheesecakes that are made to order. The pastries all appear fresh and the bakery itself is extremely clean.
When I visited LaCheesecake I ordered a mini red velvet cheesecake, a mini chocolate covered cannoli and a regular sized marble cheesecake that coukd probably serve 8 people. All three were outrageous. My friends that had the marble cheesecake really enjoyed the creaminess and freshness of the cheesecake. I worked in a bakery on long Island for 5 years, and LA Cheesecake certainly surpasses any other bakery goods I have had.

OMG this place has the best tasting cheesecake ever! Try any flavor and you will not be disappointed. I always get the amaretto and it always taste awesome. Their cheesecakes are melt in your mouth good. Plus they don’t have that awful graham crust that destroy the flavor of the cheesecake. They make regular flavors like plain, marble strawberry and pineapple. They also make special flavors which you have to call in advance for like amaretto, brownie and espresso. They are expensive but well worth the price. The typical price is about $ 16 – 18 for a small 7″ cheesecake to $ 26 – 30 for a large 11″ cheesecake.
The store are open odd hours so make sure to check their schedule. Also the store is not dine in. They do not offer chairs and seats allowing you to eat in the bakery… I don’t think they’re be enough room even if they did offer that.

The BEST cheesecake in NYC — Period!
I luved next to the location when it first opened, even though I now live 5 hours away I will make the drive for a few cheesecakes every few months or a special occasion.
Definitely recommend! !!

This cheesecake is truly as good as it gets, its homemade and fresh,
they also have delicious rainbow cookie bars that are out of this world!

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.
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.
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 buy 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.

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.

My oh my your mouth will be filled with temptations I mean them cheesecake are right in your face as your trying to order you can’t help but to gush at them and oh the rainbow bar and other sweets apple pie was scrumptious! !!! See you later Cheesecake

Best bakery in the area. The staff is always very helpful and the treats are 100% the best in queens! I went on Sunday and surprisingly there wasn’t a line. I got the apple strudel sticks, mini apple crumb pies, mini cheesecake and a cinnamon roll. everything was so fresh and perfectly made! I recommend all of those! The counter girl had no problem being patient while I decided what I wanted and also boxed things up for me in two separate boxes as I requested.
They don’t display everything they make, and everything is fresh so just look at the menu and ask and they will be happy to help.
The strudel sticks are crispy and delicious just sweet enough!
the prices are very cheap for both the quality and the competitor bakeries in the area.
parking is usually very difficult as the spot is on a little side street in residential area.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious pastries.

Holy crap, I think I died and went to rainbow bar heaven! A friend of mine brought over two rainbow bars for dessert. I’ve never heard of them before, but I’ve had rainbow cookies which were so so. Or maybe the rainbow cookies I’ve had in the past weren’t made properly. I wasn’t expecting much from these rainbow bars, but holy freaken crap, these rainbow bars were freaken amazing as heck!!!
The outside layer is chocolate and inside is the rainbow cookie/​cake. The two compliment each other so freaken well. Shiet. I wanted to die. I wanted to eat the whole thing myself, but I had to stop myself or else my friends would glare at me for not sharing haha! The rainbow cookie + cake part was so moist. The chocolate was so good.
I like dessert, but it’s not something that I always eat and it’s not something that I love or is a must for me. The last dessert place that made me go this crazy was after I discovered Eileen’s Cheesecake and that was freaken several years ago! I highly recommend the rainbow bars. I’ve also heard good things about their cheesecake, but I am super duper picky with my cheesecake since I like the light, airy, fluffy Eileen’s Cheesecake so I’ll need to go back here to try them and update my review. My 5 star review here is for the rainbow bar only.
I’ll definitely be back! It’s a shame they are in Queens and I live in Brooklyn =(I guess better for my wallet and waist =P Try it. You won’t regret it.

The best cheesecake you will ever and I promise, ever experience. Here is a rundown of the do’s and don’t of la cheesecake. I’ll focus on the Do’s because this is one of my favorite places on the planet.
Do:
1. Order a cheesecake. Order ahead of time and add the graham cracker bottom. If you don’t order this ahead of time, you can only get them on the mini cheesecakes in the display case.
2. Order a rainbow bar, actually many rainbow bars. You will continuously buy them after you eat the first one. While you’re at it order a rainbow bar cheesecake, which was designed by my mom and is now on the menu.
3. Order a blueberry crumb pie. I spoke with my cousin from Vermont (home of the blueberry crumb pie) and he said he has never tasted better.
4. Get a linzer tart, they’re amazing
5. Get some brownies while your there, you won’t regret that decision either.
6. Get a lemon drop cookie, just because it’s the best one you’ll ever get.
Don’t:
1. Try to stay away from the canolli’s while they may be good they’re not what you should be wasting your precious calories on when visiting this wonderful establishment.
2. Bring credit card, it is cash only
3. Parking is also tough given the location

This bakery is awesome! My sister lives by here every time she comes to visit I have her bring the desserts! Everything is very fresh the carrot cake, Oreo cheesecake, rainbow bar cheesecake, chocolate mousse cake are some of my favorites! This place has the best rainbow bars I ever I had make sure you get them when your here it’s worth the drive from wherever you are just to have them :-)
