These cheesecakes are amazing. We had the Taffy Apple (recommended by the chef) and strawberry banana both were delicious but the favorite of the 2….Taffy Apple, so go get you some! I’m looking forward to my next visit to try more flavors.

I enjoyed a wonderful day in Durham yesterday, and AJ's Cheesecakes was the last stop. The shop is so inviting and the service was EXCELLENT! We ordered the mini strawberry crunch cheesecake! Out of this world! I'm a cheesecake lover. I've never had a cheesecake like that....the texture was so creamy and the strawberry flavor came through in every single bite. We also ordered the banana cake... amazing!...and a mini peach cobbler that I'll never forget. The spice combination in the cobbler was so unique and the crust was light and flaky. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a sweet ending to our day trip to the wonderfully diverse city of Durham!

The cheesecakes themselves were delicious, but unfortunately, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The costs were confusing from the start, and communication was minimal – I had to reach out for details rather than them being proactive. I ordered the cheesecakes for a specific pickup time for an event, expecting everything to be ready, but instead had to wait in my car in 90+ degree heat for 30 minutes while they packaged them up. On top of that, there was no mention that the cheesecakes would be frozen. By the time we served them, they still weren’t thawed, which was even more unfortunate. If I had known they would be frozen, I would have adjusted the pickup time, but given how long the wait was, I’m not sure that would’ve solved the problem. Great product, but the process needs serious improvement.

OMG, the cheesecakes here are nothing but the truth. I was in town from DC visiting and I had to make a trip to try it out and yeah, it was definitely worth. Had me licking my fingers.

The inside was very small and the staff was very helpful and patient. They answered all our questions and we were i formed of a 20 min turn around time for order placed to actually having it in hand. We ordered the lemon cake, carrot cake, turtle cheese cake, and strawberry crunch cheese cake. Everything taste really good and fresh only downfall is they should add a little more icing.

Small quaint business with bold presence. The young singlehandedly takes and fills all orders, even door dash. She kept a pleasant demeanor and she really kept the line moving. I was so impressed that I forgot to mention the caked were phenomenal!!! We got snickers and vegan strawberry. Will definitely be back!!

I’ve been wanting to try this cheesecake for a long time, but I kept forgetting. Today, my husband ordered some for us, so I am happy to share my review! First, the delivery was handled with care and the cheesecake was soooooo good. It tastes as good as the photos look. More details below :) We tried two flavors: Oreo and Strawberry Crunch. The Oreo cheesecake was moist (but well-shaped), textured, and layered with cookie crumb and cheesecake. The cheesecake was delicious and creamy. Strawberry Crunch definitely reminds me of my favorite ice cream popsicle as a kid (i.e., Strawberry Shortcake). It had a flaky graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake, and strawberry crumb was evident in every bite. The only issue was the brownies because they were a bit hard. Either way, I definitely recommend supporting this business for cheesecake.

The cheesecakes and regular mini cakes offered by this establishment are top tier. Not only is the flavor on point, they make each one to order. The products are amazing and I have gone 2 weekends in a row!!! Even though the cheesecakes come frozen or partially frozen, sitting them out on the kitchen counter normally does the job in a hour or so. And when the cheesecakes are ready to eat, they are creamy and you realize the baker understood the assignment.

Best vegan cheesecake I've ever had! I usually get the Raspberry or Blackberry cheesecake. They also sell some pastries and baked goods so they have variety if you're looking for something less sweet. My go to for a late night sweet treat

BEST VEGAN CHEESECAKE IVE EVER HAD! I’ve been vegan for 6 years. And have been searching for a decent cheesecake and have been really disappointed. My mom got me your peanut butter cup cheesecake for my birthday yesterday and I am FLOORED!!! It was AMAZING. Finally! one that is as rich and creamy as the real thing! I will never get another birthday cake from anywhere else. Thank you so much for providing something so delicious for your vegan customers. I cannot waaaaaait to try the other flavors.

1st Timer!!! My intent was to order desserts for a party of 3, but the prices are a big on the high side.... so we got 1 cheesecake and shared it. Why???? Wrong decision!!! This cheesecake was very delicious (NOTE: ITS FROZEN, but once it's ready... it's ready.) I'll be back when my money ain't funny. LOL. That one spoon full was not enough!!! I'm getting my own next time.
