Korean Momma
155 Brookline St, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“This Cambridge gem transforms the humble cheesecake into an art form, with a signature Basque-style creation featuring that coveted caramelized top and a perfectly crisp buttery crust that frames an impossibly creamy filling. Beyond the pastries, Korean Momma pairs these showstoppers with thoughtfully crafted drinks—Vietnamese coffee, matcha tea, and creative specialty beverages—in a welcoming space that feels like sitting with someone who genuinely cares about every detail of your experience.”

Wow. Just wow! This offering/experience is a gem amongst gems. The cheesecake is phenomenal and the story of the makers is also really sweet. I got to sample the durian during my pick up of the (special wrapped) LNY sesame flavor! They were both so heavenly—friggin creamy yet delicate at the same time. Like how. Really happy I got to share this impeccable treat with friends and look forward to ordering again for future special occasions.
Korean Momma makes some of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. Perfectly creamy, light without losing richness, with that caramelized Basque top and a graham cracker crust that stays buttery and crisp. Every flavor hits from Ube Dream to Golden Salted Yolk to Hojicha and everything else in between. You can tell how much care goes into the texture, balance, and creativity. On top of the flavors, they’re always experimenting with new twists, and getting to try those early tastes is one of my favorite parts of picking up. It feels like you’re tasting something special before the world catches on. And then there’s the people behind it: Duly and SuJean are the heart of Korean Momma. Warm, welcoming, big hugs every time. They remember you, they care, and they’re building something bigger than dessert: they’re building community.
These are the best and most unique cheesecakes that I have ever eaten, and Duly is a kind and awesome human. I highly recommend the Vietnamese Coffee and the OG Burnt, and the specialty flavors of ube as well as durian were also delicious! It's a super easy ordering and pickup experience, there are often fun samples to try, the fillings are always perfectly creamy and the crust pairs perfectly, and Duly is always dreaming up delectable, one-of-a-kind flavors. If I could afford to, I would try every cake Duly makes, with lots of repeat orders!
Honestly one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had in my life… The crust is the perfect texture. And the filling has such a unique flavor that goes so well with the savouriness of the crust. Couldn’t recommend more.
I tried both the original and the coffee cheesecake and both were excellent. The original had a rich creamy texture that was so enjoyable, while the coffee flavor genuinely surprised me since I am not usually a fan of coffee desserts but ended up loving it. They are friendly and make the whole customer pick up experience warm and personal.
