Cascon Cheesecakes

The worlds greatest cheesecake. Period. A Whitestone institution that delivers every time you need selective goodies. If it’s Italian-they’ve got it and all is delicious, fresh-​and great prices!
The Cheesecake (did I mention it already) is the greatest. Plain cheesecake is always available, with custom cheesecake it’s advisable to order ahead. Two sizes, but get the large. You know you’ll be wanting more after the first bite
I bring all sorts of goodies to my bakery deprived relatives in New Jersey. I like to remind them what they left behind. Namely Cascon.
In any event, come and ENJOY!

Excellent cheesecakes. Been coming here for years. Loved when they expanded their selections! Love the rainbow cookies but a little expensive. They make great mini cakes

Not bad for a cheesecake shop. My friend ordered three packs of mini cupcakes for a birthday and they were completely different from how I expected. Very thick and moist goodies. Who would’ve known these little treats can get you full in a matter of time.

Cascon cheesecakes has always been a go-​to bakery for family and friends and it’s easy to figure out why – their stuff is delicious! Exactly why my husband and I were so ecstatic when we found out that our wedding cake would be made by Cascon!
We scheduled a tasting on a weeknight and met with one of the managers – I want to say his name was Joe? He was a sweetheart! I showed him the cake design I wanted and he said it would be no problem. He did advise us to ask our venue if we could get a 5^th tier thrown in because of how pretty it looked with the extra tier. When our venue turned us down and was going to charge us, they still made it for us anyway! I was so grateful and touched by this because it really did look gorgeous. Although it may have seemed like a small gesture – it spoke volumes to us! When it comes to wedding vendors – they very rarely «throw in» anything.
We chose vanilla cake with chocolate mousse and fresh custard with strawberries. It was absolutely delicious! It was perfectly moist and creamy and everyone loved it!
Thank you so much Cascon!

Came here to pick up a strawberry cheesecake for a birthday. A nice rich and creamy cheesecake. Their cannolis are very good too. The place is always clean and you get that fresh baked smell when you walk in.

We stopped by for dessert and it was great. There were so many choices it was hard to choose. I chose the strawberry cheesecake and pecan tart. They were both delicious! The staff is very friendly. It’s a great place with many choices and great tasting treats. I highly recommend.

This is my go to bakery and by far my favorite bakery! Everything I get from here is absolutely delicious and fresh, from the rainbow cannoli cookies, pies and pastries to their special occasion cakes. Last year for my son’s birthday they made an incredible and scrumptious Elmo cake. The cake got rave reviews from our guests and the look on my son’s face when he saw the cake was priceless. If you want to impress friends and family with amazing baked goods stop at Cascon, you will be glad you did!

The best wedding cake ever!
Cascon Bakery teamed up with A & S florist and made the most beautiful wedding cake I have ever seen. The yellow cake and cannoli cream filling were perfectly delicious.
The design of the cake was very challenging and when I presented the idea to Andy, one of the owners, he jokingly asked me if I was a «Bridezilla». I told him no, I just like pretty things. He was so happy and excited to make the cake for me that he didn’t even charge me extra for the parts needed to hold it up or the practice cakes he’d have to make to ensure the design worked.
Thank you so very much for all the effort and being so easy to work with.
P. S. I really want to post a picture to this review, but can’t figure out how. You really need to see it to believe it.

Best desert place ever. They made my wedding cake and it came out amazing. The price they charged was unbelievable. I would send everyone there to be blessed by their services. Sweet kid and professional staff. Thanks guys for making my party special and doing the right thing.

A disappointment on many levels. I have, over the years, heard rave reviews of Cascon’s but having always been loyal to Stork’s Bakery (which is now closed), had never ventured those few blocks further to try out Cascon’s. That changed this week.
I had the good fortune of winning a gift certificate for a large Cascon’s cheesecake at a recent charity event. Using Easter, and a dinner for friends and family as a perfect excuse, I ventured over with my daughter. With a smile on our faces, we looked at the cheesecakes in the display case, and tried to pick from the many options. Saw that many of the other items (non-​cheese cake) also looked pretty good.
Woman behind the counter came over with a smile and asked how she could help. The smile immediately disappeared when she saw the gift certificate. She took it from me, told me to wait, and disappeared into the back.
A couple of minutes later, she asked if we wanted anything else (the smile and cheerful attitude gone) and handed me a bag. I asked if we could choose which cake we wanted and she grunted no. So we took our spoils, and left.
It was a big cheesecake, I’ll give them that. But beyond it’s size, it had nothing, really NOTHING going for it.
1) When I took it out of the box, hours later, it was still cold. Ice cold. Wonder how long ago it had been prepared and frozen. This was not a fresh cheesecake.
2) So maybe it’s only my experience, but I’d never had a cheesecake without a crust. Boring.
3) it was tasteless. It felt like gelatin in my mouth. No sweet, creamy texture. It wasn’t a luxurious, decadent, rich cake. It was pretty close to unappetizing.
We cut the cake into thin slices, and not one person at the table finished their slice. Not one. What a disappointing end to a beautiful meal.
Will I go back? No. Because of the cheesecake for sure, but also because of the attitude of the woman who served us.
Can’t imagine how this place has such great ratings, unless the cake they make in exchange for the gift certificates they donate to charitable causes is not the same as the cakes they sell.

My family and I love the red velvet cheesecake!!!

Great Cheesecakes, fair price

Saw a old article in one of the magazines naming this place one of the top 10 cheesecake places in NYC… since it was close by, I gave it a try. Got a few of the mini cheesecakes, and a box of cookies yesterday. The girl who look liked she ate too many cookies just kept asking. anything else… anything else with a stinky attitude. I told her, can I have a few seconds to see what else I wanted. Cookies were good. pretty much the same stuff you can get anywhere. but the cheesecakes were not good at all. too much vanilla or something, not creamy. weird texture. maybe it was sitting there too long?! Either the people coming here are the old folks with desensitized taste buds and don’t venture out much… or I’m seriously missing something. I won’t even give it a second try… but I will give La cheesecake a try next.

This place does not warrant 4.5 stars for many reasons.
The first reason, they are in the same general area as La Cheesecake, king of the cheesecake.
The second reason, when you go in there, you don’t get the feeling that their cakes are fresh. La cheesecake serves their cakes warm and give them to you right out of the pan, so you know they haven’t been sitting around long because they’re still cooling.
In Cascon, they take the cakes out of their fridge, which doesn’t make me feel good and to top it all off, the quality just isn’t there and definitely doesn’t match their «through-​the-​roof» pricing.
Go to la cheesecake, no I am not a paid spokesman, I just speak the truth.

Woohoo! As good as it gets! That’s what Unilocal says to the five-​star rating. Frankly, I couldn’t have said it better. Cascon Cheesecakes has been a staple in Queens since the ‘70s. Even if you’re not close by, it’s well worth the trip. I had the benefit of living in this neighborhood for several years where I could WALK to this place. That was dangerous. Since I passed through Whitestone the other day I decided to go back and treat myself (and of course my husband :) to cheesecake. Luckily for us, they still carry the mini cheesecakes, so I got a few of those. If we had to get a whole cheesecake (as if that would be a punishment!) we would have inhaled it in little more than a sitting. And I wouldn’t be writing the review right now; I’d have my butt at the gym in spin class to make up for calories.
Back to the minis… I got an assortment of flavors: regular, marble swirl, black forest, pumpkin and Oreo. Holy Moly. They are exactly as I remember them. Ridiculously fresh and creamy. If you’re a Junior’s Cheesecake fan, I beg you to try Cascon — you may switch teams and fall for them.
In addition to the minis, you can get assorted cheesecake flavors in larger sizes, cakes, pastries, assorted mousse, and of course bakery butter cookies. And they’re so nice here! LOVE this place. You will too!

I got the regular cheesecake from here. It was a huge one and i almost finished it in one sitting. After half of it was gone, all I could think was. What kind of black magic is this?! It was all cake and no graham cracker crumbs. So if you love cheesecake but is meh about the crust, this is the place for you

I really don’t think I have to write a review on this place, it’s well known enough for everything being amazing. Wish I lived about 6hrs closer! My advice to you? Do not go here if you are trying to watch your weight and make sure there is plenty of room in your back seat since you’ll end up getting 1 of everything.

Been eating their cheesecakes for as far back as I can remember. My mom used to buy them all the time when I was younger. 20 years later they still taste exactly the same, and they’re spectacular. It really is amazing how consistent they are with the quality, even after all these years. I’ve ever only had the regular cheesecake, but that’s all I need. Still to this day, I consider Cascon Cheesecakes the best I’ve ever had.

Walked in for the first time only to be greeted by the owner who helped me with my order. Told him it was my first time at the bakery and he gave me a rainbow cookie to try. Great customer service.
Although I am not a fan of desserts, I decided to get the cheesecake sampler so I can try a piece of a few of them and my favorite slice was the cookie one and the strawberry. The other slices was just ehh.
If you like cheesecakes, I suggest you come here.

In a hurricane people go to the stores and hoard milk, eggs, and bread. I think they are going to bake a cake!
Me, I go right to the source, I get cheese cake! Cheese cake is the best thing after a day at the beach watching the waves! (though I don’t usually eat cheese cake in the summer) I will make an exception for the storm!
I am updating my review because I never actually took pictures of the classic cheese cake that I usually get. I just posted it. I ordered half blueberry half /​strawberry. In my opinion there is nothing like a NY cheese cake! And Cascon is my favorite!
