The eclectic atmosphere was so kind and warm on a chilling evening, just before sunset. The cheesecakes are amazing. We travelled from Cincinnati in a family getaway and were pleasantly suprimes at finding this gem. We tried many many kinds and paired our choices with a shared pot of chai tea. I recommend the apple cinnamon cheesecake. The de or was fun as it had been collected from all around. Lots of cute tea pots too!

Came across these pics from a visit in November 2022. Back then local products were showcased along with small cheesecakes and tea for purchase. Hope to revisit again. Delightful place!

Overall not bad, but it is pretty obvious they use the same base recipe for most of the cheesecakes and only change the toppings. The cheesecake wasn't bad, but I wished there was more variety in the cake itself. The nutella cheesecake tasted burnt or like it had coffee in it, which is completely not what I was hoping for. I tried the coconut flavor as well and it was literally plain cheesecake with coconut in the whipped cream dollop. I was really disappointed that the coconut flavor was so minuscule and there wasn't hardly any texture from the coconut either. The best one was the key lime as it had a very good flavor throughout the entire slice.

Inside the bakery was small, but clean and cozy. They have a little tea nook that was interesting and some couch seating despite their limited space. The area the bakery is in, however, is an area I probably wouldn't go at night. Even having gone during the middle of the day, the area seemed deserted. Plus side is there is ample free street parking, so getting in and out was quick.

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!

We just booked Backroads Bakery for our wedding in October, and we can’t wait to share this dessert with our guests! I love getting dessert from here for dinner parties and gatherings too! The owner was very easy to work with and kind, and the cheesecakes are to die for. Definitely recommend!

The top & side of my slice had hardened from sitting out too long. At $9/slice, I expected much better.

This place is amazing! A real hidden gem. The flavors are unique and delightful. We had an orange fennel cheesecake today that was blended so well. The complex flavors may seem a little scary for some but they are artful combinations you have to try. They also have more traditional flavors that are just as great.I always feel invited, welcome, and cozy.

We arrived about 15 minutes before closing. Wished we would have searched for a dessert place earlier in the day! We still managed to get one piece of the most amazing strawberry shortcake cheesecake and two plain plain. The slices were huge and flavor was delicious. Hope to be back, earlier in the day next time.
