Cheesecake is definitely one of my weaknesses so when I noticed this cheesecake shop as we were passing through the Shambles, I couldn’t help but stop to try a slice.
The display looked absolutely mouth watering with a few varieties in flavour. I did want to try good ol’ plain vanilla but they didn’t have any in unfortunately so I decided to go for the coffee flavour.
This is no ordinary cheesecake. You can really tell that its been made with good quality ingredients. It was rich, creamy and had just the right amount of coffee. It is hard to find a good cheesecake that resembles a home baked one but this one hit the spot. You know how picky I am when it comes to dessert so trust me on this one!
Definitely a generously sliced portion too.
The staff kindly offered my little one a sweet, however as they contained gelatine, I declined - so they went through the extra effort to find a chocolate bar in the back for her. I thought this was such a kind gesture and it made her super happy.
If you love cheesecake as much as I do, I definitely recommend grabbing some from here as you’re walking around York!!
Absolute little gem of the shambles, cheese cake was lovely we had a blueberry crumble highly recommend. Also Mr cheesecake was lovely, happily explaining all the flavours and his story, a lovely owner.
Highly recommend cheesecake 😋 absolutely delicious
Delightful cheesecake in the Shambles - lots of offerings including mini cheesecakes and by the slice. I opted for the kinder bueno cheesecake and it was divine! Also got a chance to chat with the owner who was awesome. Highly recommend!
The best cheesecake I ever had in my life. Owner is so nice, we had a nice chat and he offered me free cake to try. This place is worth to visit and try the delicious cakes 🎂 will definitely go there again !!!! Best wishes for owner :)
Ordered a birthday cake and send the design I wanted by email( I found the design from the website), and received a totally different and quite a simple decoration… the cake is good and tasty but if you cannot make the design you should inform the customer, a bit disappointing.
We ordered a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake for our wedding cake and it was the best cheesecake I've ever tasted - 100% recommend! Also, we overheard another couple when walking around York the day before talking about how these are the best cheesecakes they've ever had too!
GO HERE NOW!!!! Seriously though, if you are in the area and would like your tastebuds to go on an adventure this is the place for you. The best cheesecake I have had is here, the plain vanilla. Plenty of options as well as canned drinks for sale here. I met the owner, Matt, and he is an awesome baker who has a passion for his craft, and it shows. Highly highly recommend you stop here!
Stumbled across this place yesterday in the boiling heat - headed to get the kids an ice cream as a non ice cream fan I was so happy when I seen this place. They do delicious cupcake size cheesecakes (no buying an entire cheesecake and feeling sad my stomach isn't big enough to do it justice) and the woman in the store was so lovely and helpful and they even gave my daughter a little sweetie. They also had slices of bigger cheesecakes as well. I had a vanilla one with some berries on top, unfortunately forgot to take a photo as I wolfed it down immediately (they have forks!). If I didn't live 100 odd miles away, I'm sure this would become my new obsession. If you like cheesecake, this is a must-visit.
Usually I don’t like cheesecake but my mam decided to stop and get one as she’s a huge cheesecake fan. However, after trying the American cheesecake I can say I have changed my mind. It was delicious! The owners are very welcoming and kind. Will definitely be back. Thank you
I was just going through photos of my experience in the UK and I remembered I wanted to leave a review! Thank you again for the treat & being so welcoming and kind! I’ll be passing by on my next trip!
Just returned from a visit to York and stumbled across this beautiful shop whilst walking through the Shambles. My fiance and I got the lemon cheesecake and the vanilla cheesecake. BEST cheesecake we have ever had! It was so good, we went back every single day we had left in York to try other flavours. Matt the owner is lovely, chatty, and very welcoming. Would recommend to every single person visiting York - you won't regret it!
I just had to come back to the Cheesecake Guy as their cheesecake is truly the best in town. Every time I had a craving for cheesecake, I knew this is where I should go. I highly recommend it.

What we ordered: lemon cheesecake cup
Thoughts 💭
We were so full BUT we just had such a good feeling about this place and we were right! The baked cheesecake was creamy but dense and the perfect ratio of topping to base. The flavour was potent through out. The best cheesecake I have had in a while actually.
A MUST visit in York - it really was that good 😍
.
The cheesecake was delicious. And the lady was really informative if they was halal or not. Thank you!
This little shop found in the iconic Shambles is worth a visit. The cheesecake is smooth, creamy, tasty & delicious. You must try!
One of the best cheesecakes i've ever had
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Dropped in just from seeing the sign on the street. The mini cheesecakes we had were amazing and rivaled ones we had at Pike Place Market in Seattle. Also the owner is incredibly friendly and runs a great shop. York may be known for chocolate but it SHOULD be known for the cheesecake guy!
I had high expectations and The Cheesecake Guy didn't disappoint! I got one lemon cheesecake and one vanilla cheesecake and they were both delicious.
