Bakery
Cheesecake Machismo is a unique bakery in Albany, NY that offers a variety of rotating cheesecake flavors. Customers can purchase whole cheesecakes or individual slices. The bakery has gained a cult following due to its friendly customer service and fresh, delicious cheesecakes. With constantly changing flavors, customers are often delighted by the diverse options available. Despite the somewhat hidden location, visitors rave about the quality and taste of the cheesecakes offered at Cheesecake Machismo.
The gift of cheesecake. Received a cheesecake from my old man who had stopped in at Cheesecake Machismo, which had a very impressive selection of cakes to pick from. I imagine they must just have a cake base they start with, and then dress it up to match the flavor. The one I received was the Lemon Blueberry. The flavor of the cake was on the lighter side, not as sharp as some cheesecakes and not as sweet either, falling squarely in the center. The texture was also quite soft, not crumbly or dry, closer to a soft clay. The topping, the blueberry & lemon, was refreshing and fruity. However it did not blend well with the cake, the two remained their own unique flavors in my mouth. Which I think was due to the consistency of the cake being a little too impenetrable to the jell of fruits, could be enjoyable, but not if you're expecting cohesion. Overall, the cake was nice, lighter in both sweetness and density. A pretty good dessert choice.

Today i stopped by Cheesecake Machismo in Albany .. Got there about 2 hours before close, so not many flavors left. But they had several to choose from. I got lemon blueberry for myself And s’moreo for my son Okay let’s get into it … As soon as you open the door, you’re hit with a smell of fresh baking, sugar and and vanilla. Like you can smell the freshness of everything. It Smelled so good in there I didn’t want to leave. 😭😭 The cheese cakes were so good. Like really good. They have so many different flavors on the regular. Rich and creamy. I’ll def be back. And if you haven’t stopped by. Do yourself a favor and get there Thank me later 🙃 —51ATE

The cheesecakes are rich, smooth and creamy. The peanut butter cookie is a yummy, decadent choice. The green tea flavor is very subtle and may be hard to pick out because of the dark chocolate topping. Each slice is fairly-priced at $7.

Cute little cheesecake shop! Owner was very friendly :) cheesecake slices are huge for only $7 a slice…and tastes soooo good!! I tried 4 different options and they were all phenomenal ! Will be back for sure .

This place was recommended by a friend. Thankfully I have good friends! This place is a hidden gem. The cheesecake is unbeatable! I live an hour and a half away and luckily I was up there for work. My debate now is do I want to travel another Hour and a half this weekend. I think I will! A must stop! Super nice people and just a cool vibe in general. This is what a real small successful small business looks like! Great business guys!!! I wish you continued success!!!
Jonathan G — Google review
Interesting flavors, nice staff but the cheesecake itself was kinda hard and dry. In general the texture just wasn't great. Chalky almost, even after it came to room temperature. Perhaps it was a one off bad slice, but for the money, I don't feel like it's worth going back to find out. $14 for two cheesecake slices I didn't want to finish is kind of crazy. But again, lovely vibe to the shop and nice people.

Don't walk to far or you will miss it!!! Lynn and Bam are two incredible humans. They have great service offered so much info for the area to visitors like us! They shared so much insight on the area and we had such great conversation we forgot we were there for the cheesecake! We splurged and got the peanut butter cookie, even though I wanted to get the smoreo! And my husband got the caramel brownie. Listen. I dont think you can go wrong with anything on this menu! What a freaking delight! So good and what wonderful people! If you find yourself in this area, you HAVE to stop by. And their child coffee is legit!

If you're on the hunt for a delightful treat, look no further than Nothing Bundt Cakes! This charming franchise bakery specializes in handcrafted bundt cakes that are not only moist and delicious but also come with an array of curated gifts and party supplies. Guests rave about the heavenly flavors, from classic chocolate to unique options like white chocolate raspberry. Plus, they cater to various dietary needs by offering gluten-free bundt cakes that taste just as divine.
My parents ordered 5 dozen for my baby shower and they were an absolute hit! We got the assortment bundtinis that’s offered instead of a customized one which included the white chocolate raspberry, chocolate chocolate chip, lemon and red velvet. All the flavors were delicious and would definitely recommend to anyone!
Heather L — Google review
Love this place. They have been bringing the heat with some of these flavors this year. I was beyond happy when the Oreo bundlet was no longer seasonal, but year round. As of late the Biscoff cookie butter is EVERYTHING you could dream of and more 💙
Saterra C — Google review
This place is a definite go for those delicious cakes! I am not a fan of raspberry but the white chocolate raspberry is absolutely delicious! I recommend trying the smaller Bundt ones if you heed to try flavors! Update: Tried the strawberry and the chocolate cake - the cream is a tad bit sweet. But as seen the cake has great texture and is delicious! Definitely does not have a 'chemical ' taste ! I love these mini bundlets !! Highly recommend!
Milan J — Google review
Our absolute favorite place for cakes. I found out about Nothing Bundt Cakes from work in 2020, and haven’t purchased cakes from anywhere else but here since then. Their cakes are to die for, and every flavor is so delicious. My personal favorite is the white chocolate raspberry and the lemon, but every other flavor never disappoints. Presentation and flavor are perfect every single time! Google isn’t allowing me to add more photos, but you can see the different decorations on their website and they all look even better in person.

Cute little shop, service with a smile, and above all delicious little cakes! I get the Bundtlet and I share it with my wife for dessert, a perfect little desert for us about once a week! Cream cheese frosting for the win!
Atticus D — Google review
I was really excited to try this bakery—especially given all the glowing reviews—but the cake I received was a major letdown: dry texture, muted flavors, and an overall lackluster experience that failed to live up to the hype. To make matters worse, I paid well above market rate for a dessert I could have gotten elsewhere at half the cost with far better quality, and at that price point I expected nothing short of exceptional. Bottom line, this place seriously overcharges for subpar cakes, so unless you’re in the mood for a pricey gamble on mediocrity, I’d steer clear.
Shawon R — Google review
My daughter was happy to receive the Bundtinis for her birthday. She also said they were fresh and tasted really good. However, we were disappointed in the presentation when she opened the box. I am pleased they were delivered on her birthday but there should be a better way to pack the cakes so they don't topple over during the delivery process.
Tia M — Google review
I’m incredibly disappointed by how my mother and I were treated today—especially since we’ve supported this business for years. While shopping for my son’s birthday supplies, we stopped in to browse cake decorations. My mom briefly picked up a pack of napkins she liked to show me, then put them right back. After looking around a bit more and not finding what we needed, we left. A minute after getting into our car, an employee came outside and accused us of stealing paper plates. We were stunned and honestly humiliated. We immediately invited them to check our bags and car, as we had absolutely nothing to hide. What made the situation even more embarrassing was seeing other employees and customers watching from inside the shop window. After realizing their mistake, the employee apologized and offered us coupons—which we declined. The damage was already done. This was an upsetting and unacceptable experience. We will not be returning.

Nino's Bakery LLC is a beloved gem that truly embodies the warmth of a welcoming community. As you step inside, you're greeted by the irresistible scent of freshly baked bread that fills the air, drawing you in like a warm hug. Known for its mouthwatering rolls and authentic Italian bread, this bakery also serves up delightful meatball subs that keep patrons coming back for more.
We got the last load of bread before they closed. It was a crusty ring bread with a soft delicious texture. This is the best I know how to describe its deliciousness: yummy and worth a trip from anywhere
Daniel B — Google review
Came by Nino's Bakery today after volunteering and searching for a snack. You wouldn't know it was here unless you were specifically looking for it. I was drawn in by the name "Bakery." Upon entering, it appears to be more of a bread store with a small display of Italian and butter cookies. While the selection is limited, the cookies I tried were good. The young lady working was cordial, but she could improve her friendliness, especially since she was managing the small space alone. Greeting customers as they enter and offering recommendations would go a long way. Aside from cookies, there were a few dinner rolls and sub rolls available. However, the board advertised several other bread options that weren’t in stock. It seems like they operate on a first-come, first-served or preorder basis. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll return. I paid about $6 for five cookies, which felt steep—even with inflation. While the quality is decent, the value is just more than I'm comfortable paying for a butter cookie.

Italian bread varieties are on the shelf but baker needs to leave them in the oven longer. I left the bread out for 24 hours and it crisped right up. Enjoy the selection and bring it home and put it in the oven to enjoy the Italian texture of bread you are craving.

Been getting garlic bread here for years. On July 3 2024 wife went in to get 1 garlic bread and comes back out with a loaf only 9 or 10 inches long and cost almost $4.00. So they made it shorter and cost more. It's not worth the money any more will not be going back.

Fantastically fresh and wholesome tasting bread. I've tried a variety of offerings and have never been disappointed. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering. Whether sweet or savory, the flavor opens and develops as you enjoy the food. Said another way, the flavor is complex and refined.

My picture doesn’t do this loaf justice, but omg if this isn’t the most incredible bread I’ve ever eaten. The morning loaf is out of this world. First time ordering from them—got two different types. Haven’t tried the other (Irish soda bread). This load was so incredibly fresh and soft and flavorful. Nothing was needed—just grab a slice and eat. Wow, guys. Amazing. Will be ordering more loaves for sure. If y’all are debating on placing an order—do it. Trust me you haven’t had bread this good from anywhere.

Owner clearly has a disdain for customers and his staff as they are routinely short-handed. This leaves workers stressed and customers waiting for a very long time for their order. Employees have indicated their tips are withheld and the owner hasn't paid the electric bill in months. Plus, false advertising. Didn't see a butler anywhere. Update: I'm not sure the owner wants screenshots from his chats with the employees that he gave raises to just a couple of weeks ago, or those he kept failing to provide tips to for months, posted to the review. I might be mistaken.

I finally had a chance to try Prinzo's sub and kaiser hard rolls, and I felt a bit of joy and regret--the joy of biting into the best rolls I have had up here, and the bitterness from the decades of bad bread I've consumed from other bakery stores and supermarkets that I could have avoided. These Prinzo's rolls have the right bite, crust, texture, and flavor that makes for a perfect sandwich. This is an old school neighborhood Italian bakery--even the price is old school. Bring cash, and for a few bucks, leave with a armful of bread, the way things used to be.

Nestled within Stuyvesant Plaza, Bountiful Bread boasts a team with over 150 years of combined experience in the restaurant industry.
I went at the start of the day. Pleasant staff. I enjoyed how they interacted with each other. Felt very positive. Food was delicious, looked smelled and tasted so good! They have GF baked good, but all their delicious bread had gluten. I ate it anyway. No regrets!! I hot the South of the border sandwich, a massive cherry danish(because why not) that I did share and a homemade whoopie pie(not pictured). Those are my weakness. Say whoopie pie and I'm there!

This was a nice place to stop off for lunch. We took home some rolls that were delicious and we stayed for lunch as well. The sandwich was alright but I think it just wasn't to my taste. The pasta salad was really good and also the tomato pesto soup. I'll definitely come back and try another order!

Soup and sandwiches for us. Jamaican jerk soup was bountiful pun intended with chicken beans celery. Very flavorful too. Ham & cheese was nothing really to write home about. Cranberry chicken sandwich was Right amount of condiments and the grilled sandwich tasted amazing. Linzer tart was supposed to be icing for the brunch was kind of soggy. All in all a bit underwhelming…..

Sadly the sandwich I get every time I come has changed. The bread changes. Smaller and stale. Not like their old baguettes that were large and soft. Three slices of tomato and some mozzarella for $15. I paid $2 for prosciutto which they didn’t add which was a bummer. I did to go so I didn’t notice until I got to my office. Will not return. Quality went WAY down

Honestly, it kind of bums me out seeing everyone flock to Uncommon Grounds next door for their puffy, average bagels while this place sits half-empty. So I’ve started coming back here more often. The food's very good—nothing fancy, but solid. Coffee is pretty good. My only real gripe is that sometimes the bread that comes with soup is too hard. Other than that, clean and friendly, no complaints.

Went to the bountiful bread location in Stuyvesant plaza just to get tomato soup for dinner. I showed up 20 minutes prior to closing and was told that the soup was put away for the night. I guess the full menu isn’t available if they are closing soon.

Hong Kong Bakery & Bistro is a lively Chinese restaurant that serves up authentic Cantonese dishes, dim sum, and an array of traditional baked treats. The menu can be found on their website, offering a variety of delectable options. Customers have praised the delicious dim sum and the wide selection of pastries available. While some experienced a slight wait for their food, they appreciated the friendly and accommodating staff who ensured an enjoyable dining experience.
We came on Christmas Day like we do almost every year and, as always, the dim sum was delicious. I didn't even manage to get pictures of everything because we were too interested in eating it as soon as it arrived. Their dim sum kitchen was a little backed up so there was a little wait for our reservation and for our food, but we weren't in a rush and still enjoyed everything, so no complaints. The waitstaff are all very friendly and helpful, and did everything they could to make our experience great. Update: enjoyed one more dim sum dinner with my hubby before the restaurant closes in a week. Really bummed about them closing, but glad we got to eat here one more time.

I have dined here several times and really enjoy it. They have a great Dim Sum menu to start, and I've tried almost every item. They have a large regular menu and a great selection of bakery items to take home or eat there. I'll continue adding more photos in future visits. The food is so yummy I forget to take pics because I'm too busy eating.

Came here hoping for traditional Chinese dim sum (pretty much small plates of dumplings and snack foods priced by size) and was not disappointed. There are a lot of places that say they offer dim sum but really they just mean dumplings are on the menu, this place has your standard dim sum menu. I'm not sure what that one reviewer expected when they ordered chicken feet but yes, chicken feet are just whole feet soaked in sauce... My girlfriend had the chicken feet (one of her favorite dishes) and said they could have used some more sauce but were otherwise good. The baked goods like the baked honey pork buns, sesame balls, egg tarts, were especially good, and the "crispy rice roll" (basically fried dough wrapped in a rice noodle) was perfect. I also had one of the boba drinks and it was like a Frappuccino with tapioca pearls which was something I had no idea I was missing from my life. We did not experience any rudeness from the staff as others have commented on, maybe this one employee was out when we went, though we're from the city so our definition of rude might be a bit skewed. This place is one of the more expensive dim sum places I've been to (not surprising given the location since food costs for this kind of restaurant are going to be higher further away from the city) but the quality is definitely on par with or even better than many of the restaurants in New York's Chinatown. That was a huge relief to my girlfriend and I since now we have a place to go to for dim sum when we're in the capital region.
Bob D — Google review
We found this spot on Google and so happened friends recommended their beef chow fun, so we came to check it out. The beef chow fun is good, has strong “wok-hay”! But the dim sums were mid. The shrimp dumpling (har-gow) was not good… the skin was mushy. The chicken feet was bad… way too much pepper and not what we expected. Their HK milk tea was solid! So go for the HK Milktea and Ice Lemon Tea for sure. The service was good without being over bearing; which is awesome. If you’re around Albany, for sure give it a try!

Last visit to the place before it closing for good. Only waited about 20 mins in line for Saturday dinner unlike 60 mins as some mentioned online. Many dim sum items are already not available but I’m sure they still have plenty dishes available. Thank you for the good memories.

We ordered two holiday cakes as well as our sons smash cake from coccadotts. The cakes were all delicious , ordering was smooth and pick up was fast and easy . They go above and beyond to Accommodate you and can customize just about anything for you! My son loves the individual cupcakes as much as we do. Great , small family business , and I would highly recommend.

Coccadotts did such a wonderful job on my son’s first birthday cake. Very professional, fast confirmation with detailed communication, and easy pickup. The cake was delicious, too!

I'm sure custom cakes are different but if you buy cupcakes from the case here to test out flavors they need to change the filter or clean the fridge or something. I got 4 very different flavors and they all tasted like fridge, like a conglomerate of everything in there. I did buy a brownie though and that was in a separate fridge from the cupcakes and that was delicious, so my 4 star rating is for the brownie lolol

We love Coccadotts, they made our wedding cake which was the most elegant and DELICIOUS cake we have ever had. The spice cake with cinnamon and apple filling is the perfect fall wedding flavors. We went back again for my husbands 30's birthday and they knocked it out of the park again! Taste and design are both 10/10.

I ordered a specialty cake for my grandmothers 100th birthday. It was my first time ordering from them after they were recommended to me. The process of ordering was seamless and they exceeded my expectations. The cake was not only beautiful but everyone at the party approached me, and raved about how delicious it was! Coccadotts did not disappoint! We will be making orders in the future and recommending them to everyone. Thank you!

Bake for You is one of my all time favorite businesses. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming when I visit. Their breakfast sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had—basically magical. The bakery items constantly change so you can’t possibly get bored, and they are always of the highest quality. I’ve brought treat boxes home for the holidays, given baked goods as gifts, and just enjoyed the food myself. They are rock stars! 10/10 will probably be there again tomorrow!

A hidden gem right under your nose. The food is freshly made and the treats here are always delicious. The place has an open and warm atmosphere. A modern farmhouse feel mixed with a dash of hipster flare. Great place to catch up on work or write. It does get busy but not too much. Its a nice constant background noise. Will definitely return for a nice moment to myself.

Schuyler Bakery is a beloved local establishment known for its nut-free breads and desserts, including doughnuts, cakes, and danishes. Customers can also place custom cake orders at this stalwart bakeshop. Visitors rave about the fresh and delicious baked goods, praising the friendly staff and reasonable prices. The bakery's old-school style of baking ensures that all items are consistently fresh.
I did go later in the day, so not sure if that's why, but there wasn't as big of a variety of donuts as I was expecting. The glazed donut was the standout, very soft like a pillow. The others were good, but of what I tried, I will say the fudge fancy was a letdown.

My daughter is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. She is nearly 12 and had never had a proper doughnut before coming to Schuyler Bakery. To be able to walk into a place where she could safely eat anything is an amazing feeling. We bought a dozen doughnuts and a pound of mini cookies and got out of there for $25. Service was great, price was unbeatable and the fact that my daughter can eat anything in the store is the absolute best.

I ordered a birthday cake it was supposed to be a stitch character and when I picked it up it was just a round cake with blue frosting. The boss wasn't there and the girl at the counter was as confused as I was .if I was notified that they couldn't do a cake that i wanted i would have gone elsewhere. Then when we cut the cake it was dry like not moist at all I wouldn't recommend this bakery to anyone!!! When Jay owned this bakery it was awesome great bake goods then the family retired and sold it theese new owners aren't family and you can definitely tell the difference

One of the few original old fashioned bakeries still in business using trusted age-old recipes just got my Easter paska and tastes just as good as it did 60 years ago. They had plenty to offer on Saturday which was a surprise because years ago the lines went out the door and they usually were sold out.

I got two glazed donuts and two jelly donuts. Very oily, the oil that they did use was old you could taste it in the donut. The donut was a little bit stale. And when I walked into the store there was a fly, flying around the donuts. Also it was around 4:00 p.m. and you would think that buying four donuts she might just throw in an extra one because there was so many donuts left at 4:00 p.m. and that's pretty gross if she's selling stale donuts the next day.

Fiorello Bakery & Deli is a delightful gem in Albany, renowned for its exceptional deli subs and breakfast sandwiches that truly stand out. The chicken Florentine sub is a must-try, boasting generous portions and incredible flavor at an unbeatable price compared to larger chains. This family-owned establishment not only serves delicious food but also supports the local community's economy.
Charming local Italian bakery. All the baked goods and rolls are fantastic. The 3 meat breakfast sandwich and great Dane sub are the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The homemade rolls, buttered and toasted on the grill elecates the sandwich to another level

I was in the area for my favorite eyebrow threading lady but she was a bit busy so I came here for a snack. I ordered the pasta fagiole and a wedding cookie. The service was top notch and accommodating. The soup was hearty and the bread that came with the soup was so fresh. What a delicious, filling meal. I have had hard unfresh bread numerous times in Albany and to get fresh bread I wasn’t expecting was a treat.

Baking You Crazy is a charming bakery and café nestled just down the hill from the train station in Rensselaer, making it an ideal stop for breakfast or lunch. Guests rave about their delightful breakfast offerings, with favorites like the Hungry Man's breakfast and Greek Omelette stealing the spotlight. While some have found lunch options like chicken sandwiches lacking in flavor, others have been pleasantly surprised by their Italian chicken dishes that boast generous portions at reasonable prices.
Patrick helped me choose the French toast with banana dish and I also got a veggie omelet. Both were SO GOOD! And Patrick is also great.

We really love this place for breakfast!! Great prices and good breakfast food! We did try one of the chicken sandwiches though and (I know it's my own fault for eating lunch at a breakfast place) it wasn't great. The fried chicken was bland and the fries were not salted or seasoned. On the other hand if you order regular breakfast items you will absolutely love this place!! My husband loves the Hungry Man's breakfast and I really enjoyed their Greek Omelette :)

Tried this place via Grubhub. Although my Grubhub experience was crummy, this place was a wonderful surprise. This place is a hidden gem in my community. We each ordered an Italian chicken dish, and both were out of this world. The portions were HUGE and the $ is reasonable! The side salads that came with the dinners were really nice, too. They even called me to confirm a special request and the food came quickly. What a great find! I'll be back. Thank, guys!

Friendly customer service and a festive vibe for the holidays! I’ve visited twice now. On my first visit, there weren’t many options—just a few cupcakes and cookies. The lady explained she focuses mostly on custom orders. The cupcakes looked great, but the taste was average. The frosting was a bit firm, and the cake wasn’t as moist as I had hoped. This time, I tried the raspberry tart. Unfortunately, it was too tart and sour for my liking, with large chunks of berries. The pecan bar was decent, though! The did have fuller selection this time but there were no cupcake, cakes, or donuts :(

Friendly customer service and well decorated place for the holidays! There wasn’t a lot of choices of things to eat when we went but we went with 2 cupcakes (one chocolate with vanilla frosting and one salted caramel). Good looking cupcakes but I would say they were average for taste. The frosting was the hard kind and the cake part wasn’t as moist as I would expect.

If you're on the hunt for a sweet treat, look no further than Mrs. Fields at Crossgates Mall! This delightful chain specializes in warm, freshly baked cookies and scrumptious brownies that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. The aroma of their cookies wafting through the air is simply irresistible. During my visit, I was tempted by a special offer—buy three cookies and get one free!
Cookie Monster would approve. Was only planning on buying a couple cookies, but the staff member working the shift promoted the buy 3 gets 1 free. However I don't think you get to choose which one you want for free, as she just added another sprinkled butter sugar cookie to the bag. Oh well. Ended up with a peanut butter, cinnamon sugar, and two sprinkled butter sugars. Coming to a little over $15.00, which is comparable to a 4 cookie pack from Crumbl though in Crumbl's case their cookies are massive. (but a little doughy) I imagine these might tase ever better warm, as they were when handed to me, but I waited till I got back home to dig in after dinner. Peanut butter was rich but also very sweet, and had a nice crunch but not overly hard. The cinnamon was a little bit of a let down, not very cinnamony, was expecting something more like cinnamon toast crunch but got the milk the cereal soaked in instead. And those sprinkles, well, they're buttery, as expected, the sprinkles add some pretty colors, and they also had a nice crust with a softer interior. Overall, I enjoyed the cookies more than I do those from Crumbl as they were more to my preference in terms of done-ness. However they are smaller, not constantly made fresh throughout the day, but still priced the same. I'll still award full stars though, they were good enough.

Had a friend get me a cake for my birthday huge mess up the day of pick up and it wasn’t ready, bring it to me and I got something tht didn’t even resemble the picture, I go and talk to someone in person who said it would be fixed next time. I put in an order two weeks ago for Jan 13th for my granny’s bday. Call tht morning multiple times no answer. I go in for my 130 pickup no recollection of the order. Talked to the owner who says whoever the employee was would be fired and I said it’s not an employee issue it’s a manager issue. He refused to give a refund and I made it very clear I will be going back for one. Do not order here unless u want a cake tht looks like this…. Update I had a lovely manager call me named Victoria who offered a new cake I said I’d prefer a refund but then store owner Thompson called and said he wouldn’t give one bc the cake was out and then also said he wouldn’t offer the new cake tht his manager Victoria offered. He said he would give 20% off next purchase… yes Thompson def coming back for 20% off when u send tht out. There’s a reason it’s a 2 star place.

Overpriced, underbaked, and inedible. I was very disappointed with my cookie and the quality of the cookies have gone down significantly over time. I used to love the cookie cups especially, but now they are usually either unavailable or not baked correctly. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m not looking to get food poisoning from what is supposed to be a nice treat. I’m gonna start saving my money that’s for sure.

The employees are amazing, the manger suck. I got my cookies cake 4 hours after ordering time. Because the manage never told the employees there was an order. And he want to talk to the customer (me) over the phone because he pull over (was during) to talk to me. No apology no nothing. I ask for a refund, he told me I have to Waite till Monday. Since it Sat and there are busy. You think if he knows there are busy he will be at the store or have an acting manger at the store. Nope. Employees are amazing and under part for such management terrible. I miss my event that I was goin to take the cake too, but employees did make me a Beautiful, Cake and my kids enjoy more than they should since I have to Waite to get my refund ( I did not trust would have got or have a hard time getting back)

The restaurant offers sizable portions and a variety of dishes, including Italian cuisine and delectable desserts. Customers praise the vibrant atmosphere, prompt service, and delicious food. The Cheesecake Factory is also popular for its diverse selection of cheesecakes, with many recommending it as a must-visit dining destination.
Of course, they have a menu with an incredible amount of options. Wide and varied food choices. Our portions were very ample. The parm crusted chicken was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes are real and fresh. The Chinese chicken salad was very good. Had plenty of chicken and crunchy greens but just a little too much dressing. The wait was minimal and the loose level was moderate. The prices are reasonable for today's market. We were very satisfied.

We had a guest who don’t consume meat, onions, garlic, potatoes and egg, on our special request they recommended and made some special custom dishes, we really appreciated their special efforts and thinking.

Back in 2022, I always enjoyed going to The Cheesecake Factory— especially the Atlanta, Georgia locations—which became something of a comfort spot for me. This was my first time visiting the New York location, and I’m happy to say it carried the same familiar vibe you’d expect from any Cheesecake Factory. That said, while the food was good, I did feel it could have been a bit fresher. To be fair, we arrived about an hour to an hour and a half before closing (around 10 p.m.), which may have influenced the experience. On a freshness scale of 1 to 5, I’d give it a 3. The atmosphere, however, was wonderful as always, and the cheesecake selection never disappoints—the variety alone makes it worth the visit. I’ll attach photos of the dishes I ordered so you can see for yourself. Overall, The Cheesecake Factory continues to be a great place to eat, and despite wishing for slightly fresher flavours, I’ll definitely be coming back.

My first time here and we were so disappointed. The service was lackluster and I wasn’t able to get a drink refill, hopefully Ryan can be more accommodating next time. Atmosphere outside would have been lovely but we of course were the only table without an umbrella or sun shade. The table was so hot you couldn’t touch it. Maybe management can do better about set up .

I ordered the appetizer Factory Nachos with spicy chicken for my meal. They were really good. I wish my server had come to check on us after roughly 5 minutes like servers normally do, because I would’ve liked more jalapeños. He did finally come to ask if we needed anything but he took a little bit longer than I would’ve liked. I was already 1/2 done. But he did give me my extra jalapeños. But other than that, my meal was delicious and I would definitely recommend. They were pretty busy at the time, and he did seem to have a lot of tables just seated around the time we got our food.
