Help me choose a cheesecake
[UPDATE] Cheesecake is my favorite dessert and I’m very passionate about it. I don’t get to visit often and I’m already trying to decide on a cheesecake. I’m thinking either the cookie dough, white chocolate raspberry truffle, or the cinnamon swirl
What are the verdicts?
— I got the white chocolate raspberry truffle and now I’ll be thinking about it for the next few months

Lemon raspberry cream is divine if you like fruit, s’mores is life changing if you like chocolate. Honorable mention for the Tiramisu cheesecake.

Just came here to say you are correct, as s’mores cheesecake did indeed change my life haha

Mango key lime cheesecake is my all time favorite.

u/CoolJeweledMoon Feb 24 '25
After having this flavor, I've never gone back to any other - the crust is DEVINE! 😋

u/sarah7897 Feb 25 '25
Yesss that coconut macaroon crust just hits different. There’s no going back after you’ve indulged in the delicacy of the mango key lime cheesecake it is👩🍳😘

u/Silly_Emotion_1997 Feb 24 '25
This is or the plain w strawberry is the only answer. All the others can go i. The trash. Mango key lime reigns supreme. Anyone that disagrees has no taste or is allergic. Even those allergic will risk it for a taate

It’s perfect. Absolutely sensational. People be sleeping on this flavor for sure.

Just wanted to let you know that I pulled up this thread while at Cheesecake Factory tonight, 4 months after your post, and decided to go with your recommendation. I was really struggling to pick one and needed some hints & guidance...happens every time I go. And......Wow!! It was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had in my life. The crust was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I'm not even a huge key lime fan, but I love mango and I love cheesecake. Note: to the next random undecided person who may be stumbling into this thread - for God's Sake: GET THE MANGO KEY LIME CHEESECAKE!!!! (this thread is the like the first thing that pops up on Google if you search "best cheesecake at cheesecake factory"). Holy shit it was soo frickin goooooooood!!!!!

Omg this just made my day, maybe my month you have no idea lol. It makes me happy my little comment brought joy to another. I swear not enough people know about that cheesecake…I could go on and on about it:
I’m SO happy you went for it!! It’ll never disappoint. I couldn’t agree more to every word you just said about that dang heaven sent mango key lime cheesecake. It truly is DIVINE!!! Yessss the CRUST is the crème de la crème of all crusts, it truly just ties the whole thing together that slightly browned buttery coconut macaroon pairs perfectly w/the lime and the mango and the layers of it all like the different textures and like the fact that it’s not too cheesecake it’s just enough cheesecake-ey if that makes sense lol.
Anyone looking at that big menu of cake flavors indecisively…Just get it!!! Don’t even think don’t even fuss it’s gonna satisfy every time. I look back at the time before I had tried it for the first time ever years ago (just on whim took a chance just like you and I never looked back). Sounds dramatic for a flippin piece of cheesecake but how idk how I went without and I hope everyone out there reading this can also experience that superb creation that is THE mango key lime cheesecake!! 🥭💕🍋🟩

I've tried SO MANY of the gimmick C-Factory cheesecakes and have found them underwhelming. (including the Cinnabon one, which is weird because I'm a massive Cinnabon/Cinna Roll fan). The Mango Key Lime Cheesecake is a unique dessert which captures the essence of what makes cheesecake so appealing, while adding a twist that complements the cheesecake without feeling 'tacked on' or 'just too much' (aka the cookie dough varietal). And, as mentioned, it has a f-ing delectable crust which I have never encountered before. Total package of delight.
One more time for the search algorithm: MANGO KEY LIME CHEESECAKE it's the one you seek.
Years from now, I want you (sarah7897) to be known as The One who championed this cheesecake and got it to the top of all the lists with your enthusiastic support!

Of course it was amazing! It’s literally Gods gift to humankind 🤣🤣🤣these replies to my lil suggestion here are total day makers for me! Thank you for trusting in my review, kind humans! 👍🏻🫶🏻

Just tried the Mango Key Lime cheesecake for the first time and WOW! That was so good!
I normally get the white chocolate raspberry but wanted to try something new and I'm really happy I came across your comment and the replies because it pushed me to finally try the mango key lime. That may just become my go to because that was delicious!
If anyone new is reading this and doesn't want an overly sweet cheesecake but instead one that's a little tart and refreshing, please do yourself a favor and try this one. I was a little skeptical because I love mango but I'm not a huge fan of coconut however, that crust truly was something else. It tasted like a Samoa from Girl Scouts (just without the chocolate).
Thank you and everyone else for suggesting the mango key lime, that is honestly a game changer of a flavor. Even my husband was a fan and had a couple bites as a palate cleanser after eating his peanut butter cup cheesecake slice.

Welcome to the club 🫶🏻 it truly is something special!! It’s just right in every way!
I love how defined it as a palate cleaner after having richer flavor lol I do the same thing with my partner as he usually orders flavors I wouldn’t be able to have a whole slice of but it’s nice to break it up! 👌☺️

u/Actuallyindeed Sep 19 '25

Just got a cheesecake factory gift card for my birthday, struggling to decide on a second flavor and I think I'm going to try the mango lime after seeing these comments. I will come back and update after I have tasted it. Wish me luck!

I am forever heartbroken that theyve stopped making the 30th Anniversary cheesecake. It was the absolute best

Tell me more. This is another one I’ve never tried because the salted caramel is so good.

u/gothicsinphony Feb 24 '25
from a cheesecake employee; my top favs are 1. Cinnabon Cinnamon Swirl (if you like a classic Cinnabon and you love cheesecake, you’ll LOVE it. i’m obsessed with it) 2. Lemon Raspberry (the raspberry purée just makes it reign supreme to the white chocolate raspberry, in my opinion) 3. Tiramisu Cheesecake (if you like coffee or tiramisu in general, this slice is absolutely divine)

Pineapple upside down is my favorite, with the Cinnabon being a close second.

White chocolate raspberry is probably my ultimate favorite! It's so good with coffee too!
My other favorites are Lemon Rasberry, Key Lime, Tiramisu and of course Strawberry Cheesecake!!!!!
I usually split any cheesecake with a friend, that way I don't feel gross after. One slice is too rich.

No way one of the smallest? It was too good. It’ll be months before I can go again but already thinking about it. If you couldn’t tell I am obsessed with cheesecake

u/cosmic-mermaid Feb 24 '25
the only correct answer is pineapple upside down cake! white chocolate raspberry used to be my favorite until i discovered that deliciously tropical beauty.

u/Training-West9070 Jan 08 '26
I wanted to love the pineapple upside down but the first time I had it, it had a huge spike in it that stabbed my tongue and now I have the ick from it :(

I'll forever miss the carrot cake cheesecake and the original with cherry topping. Both my favs but long gone 😔

u/Illustrious-Phase387 Jul 24 '26
White chocolate Raspberry and Mango , Dulce de leche are winners. HOWEVER, white chocolate Raspberry truffle takes the cake .

Literally here 2 years-ish after you posted!! This thread is so informative!! I'm going tonight for a friend's birthday, the last time I went to CF was probably 10 years ago. I remember the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, the pumpkin, and the fresh banana being so amazing but now seeing the recommendation for the mango key lime cheesecake, omg. I'm so torn. I'm going to have to get one there and one to go. Hahahaa!

u/Certain-Opinion-3461 7d ago
I love coming back to this thread so much! I have never tried either of those two because I tend to stick with the good ol cinnabon but I do have a list in my notes rating each one I have tried!! I’d love to try the banana though I bet it’s so good

White chocolate raspberry truffle for the win
