We ordered a specialty cheesecake (triple chocolate) by phone. When we stopped by to pick it up, it looked much less impressive than shown on the website. The person there said, "Oh, my supplier was out of the chocolate pieces that are supposed to go on top. But it will still taste good!" No offer of a substitute or discount.
Ruth’s cheesecakes are out of this world!! Ordered a cheesecake with the fruit compote and it was absolutely over the top. We celebrated my son‘s birthday, and everyone was gushing over this cheesecake - and I come from a family of cooks and bakers, not easy to earn this kind of endorsement! Do not hesitate, and from what I understand she also makes a dairy free cheesecake! Ten stars!
Ruth is such an incredible woman. We are so grateful that we had her incredible cheesecakes at our wedding, they were beautiful and our guests were obsessed with how delicious they were! The photos speak for themselves, absolute artistry!
Quiet secluded Lexington hidden gem!!! I put their cheesecake as good if not better than Missy's Pies!! The cheesecake is as thick as molasses the staff inside is so kind and thoughtful everything about this place is absolutely wonderful more people need to come here!! I walked in and it smell was so great I had to stand for a second and just breathe it in. On the weekends they also offer a crepes and grilled cheese menu. The only bad thing I can say about this place is they definitely need more parking!
I have to admit I was a bit disappointed when I went in there expecting more variety and what they mostly had was cheesecake. I was hoping for a traditional slice of cake but the woman at the counter said they do cheesecake. They really should call it a cheesecakery because to call it a bakery is a bit misleading. When I walked in I have to admit I was surprised because the place has a sort of a cool earthy vibe to it but while I was there a customer came in and asked if they had vegan products and she said no because she hadn't been able to master making vegan cheesecake and the ingredients were too expensive. The place needs more variety. I love a good snicker doodle and could have bought some of those. My wife and her sister each got a slice of cheesecake and I tried a bite of the bourbon cheesecake and it was just ok. I like my cheesecake a bit lighter and their cheesecake was dense like it was a slice of cheese. To their credit my wife and her sister both liked their slices very much. However, one thing I didn't like about the place it seems like it is one of those gentrifying businesses selling products too expensive for the average resident of the surrounding area to afford. I hope this business plans on being a part of the community that currently exists and not the one that they are hoping for in the future.
