But the New York cheesecake remains a classic with its creamy, cheesy taste and decadent texture. If you’re looking to satisfy your cheesecake cravings, here are five spots to look out for.

1. Cake Spade

Since 2013, this cake shop has made a name for itself with its delicious offerings that are light enough to be enjoyed as a daily treat. While it offers a variety of flavours ranging from lychee rose to peach tofu, its all American cheesecake remains a popular favourite. It’s easy to see why when you bite into the mildly tangy cream cheese held by a sweet and buttery digestive cookie base. Creative alternatives include the Baileys Irish cream cheesecake (in case you’re looking for a boozy option) and the blueberry honey cheesecake, finished with Speculoos cookie butter, fresh cream and seasonal berries.
