Otto Cake

This was stop #2 on my Birthday Express and it was purely by accident. We had parked in the metered lot behind Otto Cake with the intention of going to another dessert place. But while looking left to right before crossing the street, I saw a sign saying, ‘OTTO CAKE OPEN.’ Racking my brain, I was trying to remember why Otto Cake was setting off bells in my head. OMG! Cheesecake! Stopped the birthday train and made a detour straight to Otto Cake!
The place is ADORABLE!!! The display case is facing the door so you are immediately looking at cheesecakes. Can’t turn back now! Wait! Is that a CARROT CAKE! Done! Ordered a Traditional Carrot Cake for me, Plain Cheesecake for one child, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter for the hubby. At $ 5 per slice, I was happy to fork over my cash. (CASH ONLY! So bring money to throw at them because these case are so good!)
Our cakes were served up on these adorable ‘picnic cloth with ants’ print plates! The awesome guy who served us (I can’t remember his name!!!) let us know that they had free water, so we took him up on it. The water was served in these cute glass tea cups. Adorable!
The cheesecakes are AMAZING! I cannot say enough about them! They are not heavy. They are creamy. They are delicious. The crust is sooooooooooo delicious. And this is from one bite of each slice. The carrot cake was the BEST I have ever had. It was light and fluffy. The frosting was oh-​so-​creamy! I want one right now!
That being said, you should come here soon!

Stopped in finally, I’ve been wanting to try Otto’s cheesecake for years! I’ve read a little about this shop from newspapers throughout the past few years. I like that he is passionate about his business.
I am picky about cheesecake. I like light, lemony cheesecake over heavy, rich, baked cheesecakes. So i was really hoping to like the 2 selections I picked… plain and lemon coconut.
I must say, I get what all the hype is about now. I am convinced… Otto makes the best cheesecake on the island!
The crust is perfect… nice buttery flavor and not too heavy. There is a main part to the cheesecake that is a perfect texture… not too rich or heavy… flavorful, creamy yet a little airy and fluffy too. And the top layer of the cheesecake is so good too, it is more like that light, citrusy cheesecake that I crave. Honestly, the flavor is amazing… he really gets it right. I can taste the love he puts into his business, it really shows.
The handsome boy at the counter was so sweet too, I will be back for sure!

Well, the one business that should’ve been prepared for «National Cheesecake Day» fell flat on its face. Great for the guy running it, I guess, since the store was closed by lunchtime.
Step up your game, Otto Cake!

Okay… so the location is a big empty and boring looking room — who cares when the cheesecake is so delicious. Plus this is just the satellite location, which is in the old Cake Couture. It has one employee sitting in a chair behind the counter and refrigerated display case. There are usually about 8 – 9 cheesecakes available every day. I’ve tried a LOT of the flavors and have yet to be disappointed. GO. Go now!

Open from 11−4pm on weekdays.
I’m so glad they have a location in downtown! Now my fix is closer!
Otto cake is hands down the best cheesecake on the island. ‘Nuff said.
Amazing plain is my favorite but I also like to try the other unusual and delicious offerings. I had cinnamon and blueberry… It was an unusual combination but to my liking.
They’re located in the Davies Pacific building opposite side of Longs and next to Ahi Lovers.
Parking in downtown is horrendous. Don’t bother unless you’re already in the area. You’ll have more luck at the Kaimuki location.

Definitely the best cheesecake I have EVER tasted. I love cheesecake, and this is by far the tastiest! I can’t explain why, but all I have to say is that you got to try it for yourself. My coworkers raved about Otto Cakes in Kaimuki, but since I never go down that side, I never got the chance to try their cheesecake. When I noticed the Otto Cakes sign on the window of the former Cupcake Couture shop, I grew curious. I never saw anyone inside, so I thought they were still doing construction or renovating the place.
Today, we saw someone in the shop, so my coworkers and I stopped inside. There were about 6 different flavor cheesecakes and red velvet brownies. Not much selection and the place wasn’t very decorated or inviting. The guy there said they’re still «testing the waters» and that they didn’t have a grand opening yet. Since I didn’t previously taste their cheesecake before, I went with the plain cheesecake slice for $ 5 even. A bit pricey for 1 slice, so I just got one. My coworker wanted to order a whole cake for $ 35, but the guy said they’re booked until September for whole cakes and that he couldn’t take or make orders at the downtown location. I thought that was a crazy long wait just for a whole cake.
Boy, was I wrong! One bite into my cheesecake slice and I was in love! It was soo good. I tried to savor the flavor. I’m glad they now have a location downtown and that I got to try the cake, but at the same time, it’s very dangerous to be in such close range to me. There goes my money!

Okay, I’ll admit … when I heard that there was a Otto Cake in town. IN the building I work in … I HAD to investigate during my lunch .
I have been a true fan of Otto Cake for a long while now. Who doesn’t love their delectable cheesecakes!!!
It is located outside, on the bottom level of the Davies Pacific Center. Where Cupcake Couture used to be. They are only open from 11am — 2. I think. Or until they sell out of what they have on hand.
Keep in mind that the cheese cakes are not made at this location. They only have one guy there and I’m assuming they are still trying to test the waters there. Which explains the limitations for now.
When I went in, they had 5 different types of cheesecakes to choose from. The regular cheesecake, blueberry cheese cake, caramel cheesecake, keylime cheesecake … I cant remember what the other was :/​My bad … and a bunch of different brownies.
I chose my favorite. caramel. yummmmm. I can’t possibly explain how delicious their cheesecakes are! In fact, I don’t go anywhere else BUT Otto Cakes for my cheesecake urges!
I don’t think they’ve had much advertising for the new location. So please … everyone … visit the place and get your cheesecake binge on! Let’s make this a place that stays in the downtown area!
It’s cash only for right now, so make sure you hit up an atm before heading there.

New Otto Cake location? They are in the old Cake Couture spot in the Davies Pacific Center facing Queen Street. They were open earlier but at 1:45 pm they are now closed with no hours posted. LOVE the cheesecake. Coming back earlier Monday.
