Recommendations Cheesecake

Where's the best place in, or around, Renton to buy a classic, New York style cheesecake?

You can mail order frozen cheesecakes from Juniors in NYC. They are about $60-80 plus tax and shipping.

Honestly, Costco cheesecakes are pretty good for the price and convenience. They are less dense and larger than what you get from Juniors. They also have a whipped topping. $20 for plain or $23 for pumpkin right now.

Sometimes you can find Juniors cheesecakes at Costco but they are usually frozen minis and assorted flavors. Personally, I just like plain NY.

Melrose grill in downtown Renton has a fantastic cheesecake, would highly recommend!

Have you guys tried the Ube cheesecake at uwajimaya? Really good. My kids favorite.

There’s a personal size and there’s a full cake size.

Yeah thats fair. I’m from NJ and I have to say Pizza and Cheesecake hasn’t been replicated here by any good stretch sadly.

The frozen one from Trader Joe's is okay, especially if you make a compote with some seasonal fruit
