Reuschelle's Cheesecakes

Okay, where has this been in my life, as this is so much better than cheesecake factory. Sold at a farmer's market at Castro Valley Bart on Saturday, you should get the $8 caramel apple happiness! She has a large cooler full, so she might run out, but it looks like you can order online. Www.oaklandcheesecake.com@reuschelles Go support this local wonder!

Picked up a small Ube Cheesecake ($8) at the San Ramon Farmers Market. It is palm-sized; a bit small for $8 but the flavor is there! Ube is subtle but you can definitely taste it. Not floral tasting like other Ube-flavored items at other places (Lacaphe in San Jose). Very creamy texture for the cake. There is a small crust at the bottom. I do like cheesecakes with a thicker crust but this one is still good. The cheesecake is also not too sweet.I'd definitely stop by again to try other flavors and wouldn't mind buying a bigger sized cake for events or larger groups!

Too sweet for our family and myself. I ordered 2 cheesecakes for thanksgiving, my family was able to eat one and threw away the other. It wasn't the best cheesecake and overpriced. I can't recommend and won't be returning.

No gimmicks, no weirdness just classic cheesecake with that delicious dense, slightly-funky flavor and crunchy graham cracker crust. I've been having bad luck with cheesecakes lately that have strayed too far from what a cheesecake is and happy Reuschelle's broke that streak.My French friends who are super picky and critical about food once told me "Cheesecake is America's greatest culinary creation", their fondness for it was engrained in my memory. For their birthday event Reuschelle's made us a custom peanut butter cheesecake and a mini traditional cheese cake or the kids with peanut allergies.We loved both cheesecakes and I thought the peanut butter one was especially nice, with the cheesecake and peanut butter flavor coming through nicely. Both were too sweet for our tastes and for our next order I would request if it could be 30% less sweet than default.You order online or via phone and pickup from their location in Hayward, we've tried driving by before but its ghost kitchen style and not a traditional store.

We had a birthday to celebrate in September and had been looking for cakes that were not too sweet. We recently saw several great reviews of this place (shoutout to Vincent L) so we wanted to give it a try! Ordering online and picking up in Hayward were both pretty easy. As a tip, you can order additional flavors from the seasonal menus or island menus in the 3" taster size if you want some more variety than just the flavors listed in the 4 pack sampler of the cheesecake menu! The pickup location is tucked away in a parking lot and a bit harder to find since there are no signs. We ordered 4 small 3" cheesecakes (key lime, passion fruit, mocha, lemon mezcal with blackberry molasses topping) which came out to $30. The mocha one seemed to have an Oreo-like crust which we enjoyed, and we did think that the fruity flavors could have had a more prominent crust. That being said, the flavors were all spot-on and not too sweet, and the citrusy ones were wonderfully tart. We loved the sampler size because it's perfect for trying new flavors with other people. We're definitely suckers for citrusy flavors but saw that Reuschelle's just released a fall menu, so we're definitely looking forwards to trying some new ones!

Literally the BEST cheesecake I've ever tasted, Reuschelle's truly lives up to its hype. I don't know how I never knew of Reuschelle's before the pandemic. I discovered Reuschelle's as part of a list of small Black-owned businesses in the first few months of the pandemic and ordered a sampler box. Victor is always so prompt with his responses and patient with my questions and back-and-forth's. He makes appearances at specific farmer's markets (see his IG for details), or you can choose to have your cheesecakes delivered to your doorstep in the regions he delivers to, for a fee. His cheesecakes are absolutely delicious. Super creamy and flavorful. I find myself making return orders every few months. He even got my mom's stamp of approval, and when you know an Asian mom said "not too sweet" that means it's really good!! Here are the flavors I've ordered via the sampler box:- Ube- Mocha- Original- Key Lime- Green TeaAll the above flavors are great, but what really impressed me was how spot-on his green tea flavor was. I've had "green tea / matcha" flavored products before that tasted just like "green-colored" things, but Victor's green tea flavor truly captures the natural bitterness of the matcha, so that it's a slightly bitter yet still sweet cheesecake. I hope this one stays on the menu!I highly highly recommend Reuschelle's for any occasion - birthdays, potlucks, etc., or just treat yourself.

Simply the best!!! I have brought his cheesecakes to many family gatherings and they are always a hit! Apple Caramel is my favorite but they are all delicious!

The owner is such a nice man. Victor is a gentleman and a scholar. And I'm honored to know him

This is the best cheesecake I ever had . I want more Reuschelle's cheesecake is the best ever cheesecake I hope soon you have a store to buy the cheesecake a bakery please it so good

Absolutely the best cheesecakes. Generally, I'm not a cheesecake person. I learned about Reuschelle's cheesecakes when I was in search of a treat for my boyfriends birthday. I am now obsessed with Reuschelle's d'lish cheesecakes. They are my go to treat for every occasion. Keep in mind you have to plan ahead to order.
