Delicious cheesecake and lovely store! Unique sour cream layer which balances out the cheesecake layer perfectly. So so good. Don't just take it from me, multiple local high-end restaurants serve Namesake Cheesecake, so obviously this is the real deal! The store is a great place to buy gifts for others (and to treat yourself!) - beautiful alpaca shawls and blankets, olive oil, jewelry from local artisans. Cherith the owner is the sweetest most welcoming and friendly person. Support local business! This one is a total gem. Check the hours before you stop in. Easy street parking around the corner on the south side of College Ave.

It is a no bake cheesecake. It needs to be baked to be considered actually cheesecake.

By far the best cheesecake ever eaten. The perfect combination of smoothness and taste. Order for holidays, family gathering. It will be the best gift you could bring. I need a couple just for us at home. Cherith has done an amazing job with her creations. Yes, highly recommend.

The best cheesecake ever! I almost never eat cheesecake, and I had a bite of the one from Namesake... sooo good. I don't know how she does it, it's not only the best cheesecake, it is one of the best cakes I've ever had. Cherith herself is also a very sweet person. Highly recommend this place, it's a must!

The BEST cheesecake I've ever had! So delicious and perfect texture. So so much better than any restaurant, grocery, homemade or Cheesecake Factory version. Must try!

Really good cheesecake. The best around here. Really nice owner as well. Pop on for a slice and see for yourself. Also lots of fun gifts to buy in the shop!

Excellent customer service, delicious cheesecake & honestly, I just really liked the owner. She went above and beyond for me when I was running behind schedule to pick up for a big event the following day. She stayed late and was so bubbly and fun and all around nice. I just really liked her. The cheesecake is delicious and it’s a cute and convenient location. I highly recommend Namesake Cheesecake.

My mom wanted a cheesecake for her birthday so we decided to checkout Namesake Cheesecake. The owner was super helpful since my husband wasn't sure what size to choose etc. Everyone at the birthday dinner loved the cheesecake. It was perfectly tart and light but rich with flavor. We opted to get the raspberry sauce to pour on top which was delicious. We were very content with our cheesecake! Thanks Namesake Cheesecake!

The Best Cheesecake I've ever had! Namesake Cheesecake's "Classic NY Style" Cheesecake is hands down better than any NY Style Cheesecake I've had on the East coast. Fantastic consistency, creamy and sweet with a tangy finish. Soooo Yummy. I would recommend they call it "California Classic Style" Cheesecake. This shop is a Poweball winner in my book and gets a 6 star rating. Well done Namesake.. We'll Done!

Great gift/home goods shop!! Cherith is so kind. She truly knows the items she is selling and I love the emphasis on vending local merchandise! Also, they have the best rice crispy treats I have ever tasted.

Decadent yet simple! Very creamy. Not quite crumbly like ricotta cheesecake if you're looking for that. Great customer service
