10 Best Cheesecakes in the Philippines 2024 | Buying Guide Reviewed by Baker

This Sweesecake from Bylove PH is definitely worth the hype! It looks like a round block of cheese from the outside, but you will see the vanilla yogurt cheesecake inside when you take a slice. It is not only a yummy cake, but it is also visually pleasing. You might even have second thoughts before slicing it so as not to ruin the cake!

Aside from the Sweesecake, you will also get a 200ml jar of jam made with forest fruits that you can top your cake with. The shop also offers a graze box to pair with the cake for an additional cost of PHP 500. They also have a mini 4-inch Sweesecake, but it does not have the small cheesecake inside. 

Workshop by Le Petit Soufflé is one, if not the first bakeshop to serve Basque burnt cheesecakes in Manila, way before it became a trend. Because of this, they already managed to make their own twist to the San Sebastian classic. This variant has a big dollop of creamy, sweet, and tangy calamansi custard made especially for people who love citrus flavors. 

The acidity of the calamansi helps cleanse the palate from the creamy and smoky cheesecake, making you come back for more. When you order, you can get this cake whole or per slice. If you'd like to try the other variants of their Basque burnt cheesecake, it is also available in plain, ube, and strawberry.

Craving for something unique yet familiar? Then this sweet and savory Santa Cruz Bibingka Cheesecake from Cakes by Gel Salonga is for you! Locally-made kesong puti and coconut cream are used in place of cream cheese. There are also slices of organic salted duck eggs on top of the cake, while toasted coconut latik is slathered on the sides.

Each bite will make you senti about the Christmas season. But of course, you can order this cake all year round! Need more convincing? This cake was dubbed the People's Choice Award in Our Awesome Planet's Ultimate Taste Test in 2017. You also have the option to place it in a native tampipi box for that native Filipino aesthetic. 

Fédici PH has a wide array of premium cheesecakes available, but their full strawberry cheesecake is the best-seller. This cheesecake is topped with a generous serving of whole strawberries. In just one mouthful of this decadent dessert, you will taste the salty cheesecake complemented by the juicy and sweet strawberries. 

Aside from its taste, the cakes also look Instagrammable! You can also try their box of three mini cheesecakes if you prefer to taste different flavors. Candles are free upon request, while cake toppers cost an additional PHP50. They can also add some ornaments and make a customized size of the cake upon request. 

Simply Healthy is a vegan bakeshop owned by Manila-based Russian baker Dinara Abdullina. Their cakes are anything but simple, especially this matcha cheesecake. It is made of high-quality matcha powder, cashews, coconut milk, agave syrup, almonds, tofu, whole wheat flour, muscovado, and coconut oil. 

The best thing about buying from this store is that you can have it made flourless, gluten-free, and sugar-free in case you have any dietary restrictions. You also have the option to add a fruit "flower" made of strawberries or mangoes with berries on top. If you want to order a cake, make sure to do so 5 to 6 days in advance. 

Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without a blueberry cheesecake. Catherine's Cakes and Pies has made their own twist on this classic variant by adding queso de bola shavings on top. This provides a sharp cheesy flavor as a way to balance the sweet blueberries, graham crust, and creamy and hefty cake base. 

This is available in three sizes — 3-inch, 6-inch, and 9-inch. For the 3-inch cheesecakes, you will get a set of four in one box, making them perfect for giving as gifts. Another huge plus is that it is one of the most affordable cheesecakes in town. Plus, they have a sugar-free New York cheesecake that is also topped with queso de bola.

Cheesecakes, and cakes in general, are best enjoyed with drinks, especially coffee. This coffee cheesecake combines the two in one cake where you can get your caffeine kick in a dessert. It does not only have the taste of coffee, but it also has the outstanding aroma that we look for in this caffeinated drink. 

This cake is made even creamier with the pipings of whipped cream on top. It is available in three sizes, 6 inches, 8 inches, and 10 inches. They weigh 0.6 kg, 1.2 kg, and 1.5 kg, respectively, making each one dense and compact. 

There is an option to add a cake topper, personalized card, and candle. After tasting this or any cake from Cheesecakery PH, you can also commission them to make a fully customized cheesecake with your favorite flavor, toppings, and ornaments. 

One of the crowd favorites from Kumori is the Hanjuku cheese. In each box, you will get six mini capsule-shaped pieces of cheesecake. Each one is half-baked to give a golden brown exterior while keeping the inside rich and moist. Eating this can be described as biting into clouds.

Aside from this classic flavor, you can also grab their Hanjuku New York cheesecake for a tangy taste. You can order this box and other yummy treats from Kumori on their website but with a 2-day processing time. If you opt for same-day delivery, you may order through third-party courier applications, but the products are subject to availability. 

Want a flavored cheesecake that's not too lavish? This avocado cheesecake takes the cake! Fresh avocados are combined with the cake base to give it more creaminess. The cake is topped with whipped cream and has crushed pistachios for that added crunch. Although this cake is rich, it is still light on the stomach. 

Lia's Cakes in Season is known for its avocado desserts, and one of them is this cheesecake.
