Red velvet cheesecake sits in a weird spot, it is not quite as common as plain New York style, but it is also not exactly rare. A few places carry it if you know where we would check first.
The Cheesecake Factory, Obviously
So, this is the one most people mean when they search for it, and for good reason, their Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake layers actual red velvet cake with cheesecake filling and cream cheese frosting. Dine-in, or as a whole cake to go, either works for us. Just know it is on the richer end of their menu, more dessert than a plain slice by a fair margin.
Grocery Store Freezer Aisle
Well, this is where it gets easier if there is no location near you. Frozen red velvet cheesecake shows up under a few different brand names in the regular freezer section, not the exact restaurant recipe, but close enough for most of us who just want the flavor without the drive.
Bakeries
Now, a local bakery is worth a call too, red velvet has stayed popular enough that a lot of them keep it in rotation or will make one to order, even if it is not sitting in the case every day.
So, restaurant chain, freezer aisle, or a local bakery, in roughly that order of how close it gets to the real thing. All three beat us searching online hoping a listing near you exists.
