Harriet's Cheesecakes

  I found this place randomly by searching local businesses in my neighborhood. I wasn't looking for a dessert shop but I'm soo glad I found Harriet's! The other reviews really... Read More hit the nail on the head: 1) tons (60) of unique flavors; 2) gets busy; 3) cash only; 4) solid tasty cheesecake option that will have you coming back for more.

I ordered an 8" blueberry cheesecake. It had fresh blueberries and the best crust I've ever had on a cheesecake. It was not overly heavy/dense like some cheesecakes can be. It was lighter and you could tell it was homemade, but still had a rich, enjoyable consistency.

I called ahead to order with a few days' notice and Robin took my order, and was extremely friendly and personable to me. If I wanted, I could've had it within 24 hours. Robin also said if I wanted to order for Thanksgiving that time was running out as some customers had orders placed since last thanksgiving. I can understand why.

My husband picked up the cheesecake and everyone at the shop and in line kept raving about the praline flavor. Will definitely have to come back and try that!

  I have been meaning to make my way to Harriets for months now. FINALLY did it. If you love cheesecake, especially the thick, rich, and creamy version of cheesecake, Harriet's... Read More is your place. Got 2 slices of Praline and OH MY GOD it's delicious!!! I will definitely be back to try other flavors. Cash only so be prepared!

  This review is for key lime cheesecake! Its just regular cheesecake with more regular cheesecake filling mixed with bright green food coloring and artificial lime flavor. The white plain cheesecake... Read More mix was fine, but the green filling was absolutely vile. It tasted like bitter chemicals it was awful. The crust was just...so plain. Nothing delicious. Nothing scrumptious. Just like plain cheesecake from boxed ingredients.

  We ordered two cheesecakes from Harriets for my cousin's birthday and we lovvvved them. We got the praline cheesecake and the French vanilla cheesecake. I'm a pretty big sweets person... Read More so I didn't think the praline cheesecake was too sweet, but my cousin who isn't as much of a sweets person liked the French vanilla.

I also loved that they only needed 24 hours notice to fulfill our order. I procrastinate on everything so it's super helpful that they're so accommodating. I'll definitely be going back to try some of their other flavors 🙂

  Two stars only for the sake of being a black-owned business and making it through a pandemic. However, it is time to upgrade with newer technology, better customer service, and... Read More overall experience.

After three unresolved issues while visiting this past weekend, with no signs of cash only, accepts only small bills, and practicing food safety. I can't express enough of at least having proper training for all staff members. It not only protects the staff but the safety of others.

Sadly it's time to part ways until this business updates its system.

If you're  trying this place for the first time:

Bring cash in small denominations
Food handling certificates is probably a non-factor
Customer service very low
No updates of what flavors are left

If you can get past all of that, enjoy your slice or a whole cheesecake if they have it in stock.

  I was asked to wait outside while another customer was being helped. I understood and gladly complied. I stood outside the door for 15 minutes but could see into the... Read More back of the store and the owner casually talking to someone. I waited another 10 minutes, observed that they saw me still standing but no one came to ask me for my order. I waited a few minutes more and left frustrated. Unbelievably poor customer service.

  The praline cheesecake is a must try!!! I can't believe I've been driving past this place for years and never noticed it. The only draw back is that it's cash... Read More only...we had to search for the nearest atm and ughhh that was such a plain..but totally worth it! I'll be back for more..

  I just had a bite of the Bailey's Irish Cream cheesecake
It is very very good. I am so mad I only purchased one slice.
The staff is very friendly and they... Read More are following the covid rules.
They only accept cash so nice time I am going to buy a pie or maybe two.

  This is too good to be true. Picking up some bomb bbq next door and was tipped off about this spot in the same mini mall strip. The caramel and... Read More pralines cheesecake was absolutely the best I've ever had. I live in the Dee valley and it's worth the drive. Also check out the bbq spot next door.
