Ted’s Bulletin
After a family celebration, we decided to cap off our day with a visit to Ted’s Bulletin in Gaithersburg. Known for its hearty comfort food and scratch-made dishes, it seemed only right to finish our already stellar lunch with a slice of their seasonal cheesecake. When it arrived, the first thing that caught my eye…

Wheelhouse
There are few things more frustrating than when nearly everything about a dining experience is firing on all cylinders—except for the dessert. During my visit, the setting was lively and inviting. The service was top-notch, appetizers and drinks hit the mark, and the price point felt fair. Add in an evening of music bingo with…

Salt & Ivy Coastal Kitchen
During a quick sibling getaway to Biloxi, we stayed at the beautiful MGM Beau Rivage. While the trip was slightly bittersweet due to one of our sisters falling ill and missing out, we still made the most of it—taking in the sights, placing our bets, and, of course, finding time for a little dessert indulgence.…

InJapan Japanese Steak, Seafood & Sushi
After a sunny day on the golf course, a few coworkers and I headed to InJapan in Easton, MD to celebrate my birthday. The plan was dinner, dessert, and then some friendly competition at the bowling alley next door. The energy inside the restaurant was lively, with our hibachi chef putting on a great show—flames,…

9 Dragons
While visiting Hollywood Casino in Charles Town, we decided to stop by 9 Dragons for a bite after some time at the tables. Known for its General Tso’s Chicken and sushi offerings, it wasn’t the place I expected to find cheesecake—but when I spotted it on the dessert menu, I knew I had to try…

I had the joy of reconnecting with close friends over dinner at P.F. Chang’s—a place that rarely disappoints when it comes to atmosphere, flavorful food, and quality cocktails. After a satisfying meal full of bold Asian-inspired flavors, there was only one way to cap the evening: dessert. Presented on a round black plate with a…

Junior’s Restaurant & Bakery
When planning my trip to New York City, I knew I had to visit one of the most talked-about dessert spots: Junior’s. Known across the country for its “world-famous” cheesecake, I had high hopes that this would be a highlight of my journey. Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case when expectations run high, the experience…

Madrones
Some reviews stick with you, and others need a second chance. My first visit to Madrones for their New York-style cheesecake was before Cheesecake with Jake really took off, and at the time, I gave it a modest 6/10. But with an updated perspective and a fresh ranking system, I decided to revisit this cheesecake…

Callahan’s Seafood Bar & Grill
Upon ordering the homemade New York cheesecake, expectations were naturally high, especially given that this restaurant had recently hosted Gordon Ramsay. Unfortunately, the dessert did not live up to those expectations. The crust was notably hard—so much so that tapping it with a fork produced an audible knock. This, combined with a lack of flavor…

Silver Diner
As someone who loves cheesecake, I couldn’t resist trying the one at Silver Diner, a spot I’d never been to before. The cheesecake arrived on a traditional rounded square glass white plate with a decorative design of raspberry sauce. Although the sauce looked interesting, it didn’t extend to the cheesecake itself, which was a bit…
