Eileen’s Special Cheesecake

cheesecake is light (Ye I know you usually don’t use this to describe cheesecake) yet still dense enough to qualify as one (unlike the Japanese ones…) and not overly sweet.
only thing is I rather have less cracker crust on the edge of the mini ones but it’s only me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
space is rather small, not good for meeting someone since its crowded. just grab and go.

Quaint little cheesecake shop with bite size cheesecake. Very smooth cheesecake that’s not too heavy and highly flavorful. We stopped by after dinner for a quick dessert. It was great in that there was not too long of a line and were able to get in there in and out. It seems like Eileen would be proud to see this place in person today!
Pluses:
— Very friendly staff
— Wide selection
— You could see the kitchen where they make all the cakes
— They wrap the cheesecake box up very adorable so great for gifts!
Minuses:
— $ 10 min for credit cards

Hands down best cheesecake! It’s competitors like juniors or Cheesecake Factory doesn’t even compare to the texture, and light fluffy consistency and taste of Eileen’s Cheesecake! Let me first start by saying that I have tried many cheesecakes from around the world and many by far have been dense, heavy, overly sweeten, but this cheesecake was the opposite. Also would love to point out the great customer service which is like a rare site in NYC! There are tons of flavors too! My favorite was the strawberry cheesecake and it’s one of their best sellers!

I wasnt really a cheesecake person before until I met Eileen!
its the best cheesecake in the entire universe. Love the salted caramel flavor soooo much!!!

I’ve had this place bookmarked in my Unilocal forever. The reviews are very good and I’ve heard this cheesecake is as good as or better than Juniors.
I finally made it in and tried the original and salted caramel. They were fine. Nothing wrong with them, but it was nothing better than mediocre in my opinion.
I also got a chocolate cannoli to go. No comment on that as I haven’t tried it.
But as for the cheesecake, I’ll definitely be sticking with Juniors. It’s quite a bit better in my opinion.

Oh goodness… what can’t I say about Eileen’s that hasn’t already been said in all of these wonderful reviews? It’s just amazing, and from a cheesecake lover such as myself, that really says quite a bit already!
If you’re in the SoHo area and are looking for baked goods, you have to seek this place out. I think I’ve been back three times in one week! The size is perfect for one person and if you’re on the go. Eileen’s also serves party sized cakes if you’re looking to share with 3 – 5 people. What amazes me is the variety of flavors that they offer. You can go through this entire menu and basically want to order every single cheesecake that they have.
The service is friendly and extremely efficient as well! Props to everyone behind the counter that made our visit such a wonderful experience. Hope to be back again soon!

DELICIOUS CHEESECAKE!
Cute neighborhood spot that has a very mom & pop feel to it. Originally found this place in a Unilocal search for cannoli — which turned out not to be that great — because obviously their specialty is cheesecake (hence the name lol).
We had the red velvet cheesecake tart and it was amazing! Perfect individual portion sizes too!
They have little picture menus that tell you what everything is. Pricing starts at $ 3.90 for 1 cheesecake tart to $ 34.00 on a dozen (save $ 3.80). They also do large cakes, cannolis, a some accompanying drinks (lemonade, tea, coffee).
All major credit cards accepted but $ 10 minimum. You can eat in (they have a few small countertop tables) or take away (there’s a small park area across the street if it’s nice outside!).

What is New York without cheesecake?! We found this hole in a wall place on Unilocal,and tried their strawberry cheesecake as dessert after dinner. It was mind-​blowing good. Just enough amount of sweetness + just enough amount of cheese + soft crust + sweet strawberry toppings = heaven! Would definitely recommend!

I am a huge fan of cheesecake and I LOVE Eileen’s!!!
While many may compare it to juniors its something you cant compare it to. Its a different texture and a different taste bud journey. The graham cracker crust goes perfectly with the cheesecake filling.
Eileen’s delivers freshness with there cheesecake, its soft and just something that’s hard to explain until you try it.
I love love love the strawberry cheesecake. The strawberry on top tastes fresh and not like it came from a can or frozen! The tarts are reasonable at about 4 dollars but, beware your going to want to buy a cake for yourself and there will be no occasion you will just want to consume more! They have a vast amount of different flavor cheesecakes to choose from and also different toppings.
Worth the subway or car ride to Eileen’s! Small place so there isn’t much seating inside. Still amazing cheesecake! Staff is very friendly!

We stumbled upon this little shop while looking for the subway. My girlfriend was a fan of juniors prior to the trip and was hoping to find a place to try out some more cheesecake while we were in the city. I myself have never had juniors so I had nothing to compare to but I thought what we had was wonderful.
The staff there were super nice and ready to help and give suggestions. There was a good amount of sitting room inside and a little bench on the sidewalk outside. Thinking back we should have tried more than one flavor but the marbled one was fantastic! Definitely will remember this spot!

I was walking in SoHo today and came across Eileen’s Special Cheesecake. A lot of people were walking inside so I knew it had to be good.
As soon as I entered, I noticed they received a few awards and there was a line. This got me even more excited. They have a $ 10 card minimum so I bought three of the mini cheesecakes. While the flavors weren’t amazing and met my expectations, what caught my attention was the texture of the cheesecake itself. It was unlike any other I’ve tried in the past. I grew up in New Jersey and have had plenty of diner cheesecakes… dense, perfect graham cracker crust, etc. Eileen’s was fluffy, whipped, and light. It was really unexpected and I assume this is why they call their cheesecakes special. I could be wrong.
It’s a tiny establishment but there are plenty of seats inside. The girl who took my order was really friendly and carefully wrapped the box with a pretty piece of yarn… perfect to bring as a gift or dessert during the holidays, potlucks, office celebrations, or «just because» occasions.
The only downside is the crust. It was bland and the texture was completely off. I only ate the filling, which is why it gets ⁴⁄₅ stars in my book. Also, it left a very strong cheese-​y aftertaste, which wasn’t pleasant. But it is cheesecake after all ;)

We ordered from here for a birthday celebration — the delivery fee is decently priced, and they will write something on to the cake for an extra $ 1. Worth it!
I love all their minis and the variety of flavors: from chocolate to fruit-​topped, their cakes never disappoint!

Their cheesecake is totally perfect and more awesome than Junior’s.
I like Junior’s cheesecake too but this is fluffy and light. You will not be sick and tired of is after a slice.
I brought a cake for mother’s day celebration and my whole family loved it. It was fluffy, not overly sweet, and too heavy.
They’re also really thoughtful and give you floss is cut the cake with so that it looks pretty.

After dinner at Katz’s we picked this spot for some cheesecake for dessert and it hit the spot. We got 3 of the mini cheesecakes to share and to try a few different flavors and went with the strawberry, blueberry and oreo.
All of them were fantastic, creamy, light, and incredibly well flavored with a soft, moist crust. Best Cheesecake I’ve had and of the 3 flavors, I think the blueberry or strawberry were my favorite. Tons of flavors to choose from and very fair prices for fantastic dessert.
Definitely worth going to and hopefully I’ll get back here one day.

Came here on a sunday when they were about to closed. Was looking forward to getting a few of the cookie and cream but they only had 1 left. Since they didn’t have enough of the flavor i wanted i had no choice but to try their other flavors. I ended up also getting their red velvet, marble, and banana flavor.
All of their cheesecake had an chocolate/​oreo cake bottom. The banana flavor was pretty good. Not overwhelmed with banana flavor but was just right. The red velvet was flavorful and had a good presentation.
Overall, i would come back for more cheesecake if i was in the area. Their cheesecake were not too big but perfect for one person size.

This is not only my most favourite place for cheese cakes anywhere (even up here in Canada I haven’t found much to be too comparable to Eileen’s!!) it’s also my favourite place for amazing cannoli in North America! Honestly– I’ve been really hard pressed and slightly upset after visiting from Italia– having found amazing cannoli in Florence and coming home to not be able to find any like it… Until Eileen’s– they honestly have the best recipe and technique going for them!
Now now– yes, they sell cheesecakes and they’re my most favourite for them (super fresh and yummy of any variety really) but many of the other things they do offer are just so good.
If you’re curious– the cheese cakes that I tasted were individual portions :) a friend and I were paroozing– saw how lovely the cakes were, and managed to sneak in just before closing… We were really happy for that extra customer service :3!
Needless to say– you want yummy goodies, well, Eileen’s bakery won’t disappoint you! Xo Bön appètit!

I came around 9pm the place was still full of people. I felt so lucky because the strawberry were just all done. The mini size was the best size since I would not feel guilty after taking that. The strawberry jam was fresh and not too sweet. It matches well with the soft and slightly sour cheesecake. The bottom of the cheesecake was not traditional crispy biscuit crumb base but still very good. Personally, I think it was much better than Junior’s.

Walked in here with my hubby today for something sweet. What’s better than a NY cheesecake in NY :). I have tried multiple places for that perfect taste that could explain why would this dessert be so popular. Today, I know exactly why!!!
They have mini cheesecake options which makes it so so much better. Over 20 options of flavors, includes fat free and sugar free options as well. We tried an original, a red velvet and a chocolate cappucino. OMG! So fresh! So soft! Melting in your mouth!!! I absolutely LOVED the original. Red velvet and chocolate cappucino were bursting with flavor. Every bite leaves u craving for more.
I walked 2 miles extra but i am coming back here again and again and again! And I am bringing friends. This is one dessert place for which I would walk to and fro just to grab an extra cheesecake bite.
The ambience is not that intimate. The service is quick and staff courteous. Location is fantastic. Excellent variety. Bite sizes is pure brilliance.
TIPS: Dont miss red velvet. Original ROCKS! Absolutely delicious!

Really delicious cheesecakes and one of the best in the city.
I bought a box of four mini cheesecakes, which are the plain (great), salted caramel (so good), chocolate bourbon (very bourbon-​ish), and Bailey’s coffee (not bad). Liked them all and will definitely try other goodies very soon!!!
P. S. If you take a selfie with the cheesecake you buy, post it on Instagram, and tag the store, you can get 1 mini cheesecake for free.

I am definitely one those people who prefer rich, heavy cheesecakes, but I still loved Eileen’s! The cheesecakes are lighter but not TOO light, and the size is perfect for an indulgent but not overly decadent dessert.
Literally everything looks delicious here, and if I lived in NY I would make it a quest to try everything at least once. But since my trip was short, I only tried cherry and raspberry, the latter of which I preferred.
Credit cards are accepted for purchases of at least $ 10. The space is small and seating is extremely limited, so taking your order to-​go is probably best.

Encore un cheesecake que j’ai testé parce qu’il était censé être l’un des meilleurs de la ville.
Il fut bon mais n’avait rien d’extraordinaire, très (trop) classique finalement.

Totalement addict aux cheesecakes, il me fallait impérativement aller goûter les cheesecakes d’Eileen.
Verdict: ces cheesecakes sont totalement fabuleux. Légers, duveteux et super gouteux.
Il y a des tas de variétés et du coup le choix peut être difficile à faire. J’ai donc opté pour le «plain cheesecake» soit le nature.
Les gâteaux sont proposés soit en format individuel soit à partager. Il est possible de déguster sur place mais attention, la salle est vraiment toute petite. Chose sympa, on voit les pâtissiers fabriquer les cheesecakes derrière la salle. Tout est donc fait sur place, c’est plutôt sympa. Des cookies et des rugelahs peuvent également accompagner votre pause gourmande.
Assurément une adresser à découvrir dans un chouette quartier, ce qui né gâche rien.

C’était mon premier cheesecake aux US il me semble, donc je modifierai peut être cet avis après en avoir testé d’autres. C’était le national cheesecake day, donc tous leurs cheesecake étaient à moitié prix :) bonne occasion d’aller tester.
Pas lourd du tout, la texture est très bien même si je n’ai pas trouvé la croûte tres croustillante. Le cookies (oreo) and cream était vraiment de la tuerie. Le framboises et le cappucino étaient bons aussi meme si ce n’est pas ce que je préfère.

Bön cheesecake apparemment il doit figurer dans tous les guides car y avait que des touristes dans le magasin (japonais, israéliens, français, Brésiliens.).
Les cheesecakes sont bons pas trop gras je trouve, mais je né suis pas persuadé que cela soit les meilleurs cheesecakes de NYC non plus.

Tout simplement wow.
C’est l’équivalent de manger un nuage.
Petite place sympathique avec son cachet d’antan.
Portion parfaite pour essayer plusieurs saveurs!

Je né démentirai pas la plus part des avis: cet endroit fait les meilleurs cheesecake de NYC!
J’ai goûté l’original ainsi que celui au dulce de leche qui est incroyable!
Les cookies sont également très bons, croustillants et moelleux à la fois avec de grosses pépites de chocolat fondant.
Un délice.
Par contre prévoir de les emporter ou manger dans le petit «parc» en face car l’endroit est très petit.

Vous voulez goûter ce que sont les meilleurs cheesecake de New York?
Alors courrez a ce shop!!! Il paye pas de mine, mais ce qu il y a a l intérieur est juste une tuerie de gourmandise !!!
Courrez y !!!

Étant un peu perdu dans le quartier, je demande gentiment ma route à un officier. Le seul nom de la rue lui suffit à comprendre que je voulais probablement me rendre chez «Eileen’s Spécial Cheescake».
La boutique n’est pas bien grande, moins d’une dizaine de places assises pourtant je suis passé au bon moment pour m’en approprier une. C’est donc tout naturellement que je goute le cheesecake en question.
La portion n’est pas bien grande et pour 3,5 $ on se dit que le rapport quantité/​prix devrait être réévaluer à la baisse. C’était sans compter sur la qualité. Si effectivement ça se mange trop vite en dépit de petites cuillerée prises, la légèreté et la fraicheur du produit est absolument remarquable.

déçu par la réputation. Je né sais pas pourquoi c’est le meuiller Cheescake du NY. La boutique est toute petite. Un petit Cheescake 3,5 dollars… Bof

Alors là un très grand OUI !!!
Une toute petite boutique qui né fait que des cheesecakes, là aussi connus dans le monde entier, il me semble d’ailleurs qu’ils en exportent un peu partout !
Différentes tailles: du solo au familial et différents parfums: des plus classiques aux plus extravagants (et sucrés), on part donc sur une sélection de 3 individuels à partager (à 10 $ les 3 c’est correct)
Bilan rapide et précis ci-​dessous :
— Plain: excellent, ça c’est du cheesecake qui déchire, pas trop sucré, TOP TOP TOP
— Blueberry: en fait c’est une cuillère de confiture sur le nature… personnellement je préfère toujours le nature
— Chocolate: pas mal du tout, on a un peu moins l’impression de manger un cheesecake, mais vraiment bien quand même
Donc mon conseil pour un premier essai: le nature !
Il y a 2 – 3 tables pour déguster sur place mais vu la réputation du lieu, elles étaient bien occupées. Par contre s’il né fait pas trop mauvais il y a un petit square juste devant, à vous la dégustation de cheesecakes tranquillement assis sur un banc !

Als echter, geprüfter Käsekuchenverputzerspezialist ein absolutes have-​to-​try-​this, wenn man in New York ist und schon ewig von allen Seitenstädteführer, Seitenyelptipps, Seitenmitmenschen dahingeschickt wird.
Dort angekommen und magisch von der Theke angezogen, ufert es in einer den da und den auch Bestellung aus, die nur mühsam den üblichen Bestellabschluss mit nötiger Contenance zuende bringen lässt, da einen die Vorfreude fast um den Verstand bringt.
Beim eigentlichen Verzehr kommt ziemlich schnell die Ernüchterung.irgendwie durchschnittlich. irgendwie voll dreckig hier.überall Cheesecakeschmiere auf sämtlichen Cheesecake-​Fame-​Frames an der Wand.
Hmmm, was finden denn bloß alle daran? Los weiter.*
