Best Cheesecake in Long Island
That’s right, the Cheesecakes World crew and I went for a walk. We did a cheesecake tour throughout Long Island and we were a little surprised. Sometimes we overestimate popular places and minimize the not-so-popular or places that are not known.
It’s not just New York that has a wealth of amazing food places. Long Island can easily hold its own, too. People would ride miles to get to a magical place and get an astonishing dish, I’ve done it and I’m sure you had.
So yes, we went to do our work as culinary critics and we found some hidden and wonderful spots, those places that only locals reach. It’s worth getting out of the comfort zone of continuing to go to The Cheesecake Factory. To clarify, we have included them in the list so that you can compare them all.
In this list, we added a few desserts spots that have the greatest desserts, not only cheesecakes. You may have already heard of some of these, take a look and leave a comment in case you have. We totally recommend you go to all of them if possible so you can taste them all and compare.
What we did was we ordered a different cheesecake and shared it with each other. For instance, we could try the variety. So there are no excuses, you now know the secret to expand your sweet palate.
