Finally decided to try the famous cheesecake. Got there on a Saturday around 1pm and the line was just a little out the door. Waited about 10-15 minutes which isn't too bad considering the much longer lines and wait times other yelpers reported. Maybe the hype is starting to die down?
I don't get downtown very often so decided to order a bunch of things to try. I got the original cheesecake, green tea plain cheesecake, angel hat and the regular madeleines. Everything was very good. The original cheesecake is not too sweet and tasted very light and a bit eggy. If you put it in the fridge and have it the next day the cake becomes more firm and you can taste the cream cheese a bit more. The matcha cheesecake has a very strong matcha flavour, I would probably skip this the next time. The angel hat was very fluffy and more cream cheese in flavour compared to the original cheesecake. Not really my cup of tea so will also probably skip the next time. The madeleines were VERY good. Just the right amount of sweetness!
All in all, I would probably come back for the regular cheesecake and the madeleines but only if there is a minimal line and if I'm already in the area.
