Cheesecake Etc. - There's Good Cheesecake Here, Among Other Things

Well, the name speaks for itself really. There’s cheesecake here, among other things like coffee and tea, which you can drink with your dessert.

Now, being a place that focuses almost entirely on cheesecake, one would assume that would be important that it has some damn good cake. I’m disappointed to report that it does- and it makes my cheesecake (something I thought was pretty good) seem crummy.

It really is good though, and the owners keep it simple, offering other etceteras like coffee, cider and occasionally live piano. The restaurant is funky, and definitely could use a redesign- but would not necessarily benefit from it. The reddish-brown walls are dotted with posters and photos of musicians, celebrities- James Brown among them I believe- lending to an overall atmosphere that seems to blend perfectly with the cheesecake. There’s nothing pretentious here.

Cheesecake etc. is open for the dessert hours in the evenings (7:00 – 1:00 am) all week.
