About Cheesetella

Cheesetella is a hidden gem in a quiet plaza, known for its unique and delicious Japanese-style cheesecake. The traditional cake is a must-try, featuring a perfect balance of sweet but not too sweet flavors. The portion size is generous, and the price is a steal at $12. The cake has a light and airy texture, similar to angel food cake. Customers have praised the fluffy castella, which pairs well with an ice Americano, creating a heavenly combo. While some may notice minor imperfections, such as small black spots, the overall experience is well worth a visit.

In addition to the classic cheesecake, the ube cheesecake offers a good ube and light cheesecake flavor, while the Chocotella is a great light chocolate dessert with just enough chocolate chips to provide an extra punch of chocolate flavor. The butterscotch latte has been described as amazing—lighter than other options but with the perfect amount of sweetness. The staff is very nice, making it a welcoming place to return to. With its amazing soft and tasty bread, Cheesetella is suitable for dessert or as part of breakfast or brunch. The Irvine location is easy to access, making it a recommended stop for both classic and cream or chocolate cheesecake enthusiasts.

Recently, customers have highlighted the shop's mozzarella bar, where freshly made cheese like burrata and stracciatella are incredibly soft and creamy, perfect for a picnic or a simple treat. The small shop feels bright, clean, and welcoming, and prices are fair for high-quality, fresh products. Many visitors enjoy the light, fluffy cakes, especially the original cheesecake, which is soft, airy, and not too sweet, making it easy to finish without feeling heavy. The ube flavor is also appreciated for being unique and tasty. Although seating is limited, take-out is recommended, and the friendly staff ensures a good experience. Overall, Cheesetella remains a favorite for cheese lovers and cake enthusiasts alike.
