Located at 315 South Elm Street in downtown Greensboro,
Cheesecakes by Alex specializes in cheesecakes (available both by the slice and
as whole cakes via pre-order). Other cakes, muffins, cupcakes, pastries, and coffee
drinks are also available.
Cheesecakes by Alex is the gold standard for desserts in
Greensboro. The titular cheesecakes come in more than a dozen flavors, and I've
yet to try one that was anything less than excellent. The creme brulee has a
delectably crunchy sugar coating while the Kahlua espresso balances its coffee
flavor with a chocolatey crust. If cheesecake isn't your thing, there are
plenty of other baked goods (other cakes, cannoli, biscotti, etc.) to choose
from here as well.
One would expect to pay a premium given the quality - and the downtown location - but prices are surprisingly reasonable. Further, the counter staff are patient with patrons who struggle to make up their minds, a frequent sight to be certain. The two seating areas - one indoors, one outside - ensure that crowding isn't a problem.
While it would be nice if Cheesecakes by Alex recycled plates and utensils, that's a relatively small nit to pick. All told, this is a must-stop for anyone in downtown Greensboro who is craving something sweet.
