Cheesecakes by Alex
315 S Elm St, Greensboro, NC
Crema's Take
“This vibrant Greensboro bakery has earned its stellar reputation as a destination worth the drive, with showstopping cheesecakes that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and restraint—none of that cloying sweetness that plagues so many dessert spots. Beyond the exceptional cakes, you'll find a genuinely welcoming space where the owner Alex is often present, friendly staff keep things running smoothly, and the colorful, clean atmosphere makes it equally suited for lingering with your laptop or meeting friends over a slice of their moist, coconut-forward creations. With easy parking and a thoughtful pastry selection that extends well beyond cheesecake, this is the kind of place people happily drive an hour to revisit.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available.
