I finally made it here and I am so happy I did!!! Their cheesecake is literally slices of heaven in each bite. I went in to just get a banana pudding cheesecake and walked out with three other flavors as well. I absolutely love the Kahlua cheesecake!

Today is a good day for me. I think I found Harriets from best thing I ever ate, and u stop by when ever I am in the area. The praline is my favorite, but they’re all great.

Best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life! Thick and creamy and made with love! Loving the different flavors also. They have a wide variety of flavors. I choose the Praline and strawberry and cream slices.

Why is this place less than a mile away from me!!! I’m happy I found it lol but it’s dangerous how good their cheesecakes are. So far I’ve tried the banana pudding, pralines, white chocolate strawberry, and blueberry. All which are good only I fell in love with the blueberry one. It’s rich, well they all are, but the fruit was so fresh! Love the ladies there very detailed about the cheesecake kinds and make sure you leave with something you will def love. I look forward to coming here often. I’ll run the extra 5 miles a week for this.

Kahlua Chocolate is to die for! I got lemon & didn’t like it at all, but I think it had a hint more tang of a real lemon than I was expecting.(I can’t knock them for using real lemons, but I wasn’t ready.) They only take cash & they run out of the popular flavors fast. So if you want something like say, strawberry or anything with berries for that matter, go early.

I’ve lived right next to this place for 5 years so I thank God that they only accept cash(an inconvenience for sure) otherwise I’d order something once a week! This is a mom & pop shop based off the recipes of Harriet, the owners late mother. I have been here a handful of times and have tried the following… Praline– hands down the best! The praline sauce has the spotlight here and it is absolutely divine. Cookies & Cream– just okay. I’ve had better elsewhere as this one isn’t that flavorful. There’s a nice Oreo crust and an actual Oreo on top but other than that it didn’t really give me the cookies & cream flavor punch I was looking for. But maybe they had an off day when I last came in so I may try this one again. Blueberry– surprisingly good! I wasn’t expecting much from this since I’m not the biggest blueberry fan in general but this had tons of flavor. Would order again for sure and is apparently one of their best sellers. Snickers– pretty good. Tastes just as you’d expect. Baileys– no bueno! This didn’t taste like Bailey’s at all! I’m guessing they used a bailey’s flavored extract rather than the real thing because there wasn’t a hint of the distinctive, delicious flavor in this cheesecake at all. I thought I was being too hard on them but my friend tasted it and agreed. Disappointing. Planning to try their white chocolate raspberry and chocolate fudge brownie flavors soon. Till then, even though all their flavors didn’t hit it out of the park for me I still have to give them 4 stars because they’re a straightforward business who uses quality ingredients and keeps things simple. Yes I’d love them to start accepting credit cards but as I said before, then I’d be here all the time and my thighs can’t handle that! Shout-out to Josh — a white boy who was working the last time I came who was both funny and charming. Service with a smile — that’s why I love it. And of course the praline cheesecake. If you do nothing else, order that! 1⁄100 — 2016 Unilocal 100 Challenge

I love the cheesecake here and wiling to pay any price for it but its a inconvenience that they dont have card machines and ran out of almost every slice today. I also ran into a rude worker. I was told she was the owners daughter. She needs to be more professional and take a customer service class

Deliciousness is happening all up in this Cheesecake Factory. There’s a variety of flavors and sizes for all appetites. The quality and presentation of their cheesecakes are worth far more than the reasonable prices that are being offered. So do yourself a favor or share with someone you know. But a cheesecake from here and you will never consider any other«factory» in town. Even if you need to commute, this place is worth it and you can order by phone,

SWEETPOTATOCHEESECAKE THISISEVERYTHING A MUSTTRY! Utterly delectable, I love this place. There used to be a guy named Darren who worked there who was so nice and kind to customers. Go for the sweet potato cheesecake, they have mastered this. You’ll love it!

Delicious,(basically) homemade pies at an affordable price. It is a hole-in-the-wall, so the lines can be pretty long if you go during rush hour. It also is a cash only business, so make sure you come prepared.

Had some pie from this spot on Thanksgiving. Pie was good. Whats the definition of being open for business? Looked on Unilocal,said it was open, drove out from san gabriel ca to get there only to find it closed. Might as well change the business hours from 11am-8pm to «whenever we feel like doing business»

Let me just start off and say that this lady is adorable. Absolute sweet. And her employee, a dorky, young man, was also wonderful. Great customer service. This is a tiny, whole in the wall shop, dishing out some serious cheesecake. We had the parline. Yum! I highly recommend.

If you are a cheesecake fanatic look no further. I went to this place with my brother yesterday and glad that I did. So many flavors and options it could be almost daunting at first. But the very nice owner helped us make the right choice. Banana Pudding Cheesecake. Creamy, crust was perfect and tasting like a great banana pudding. This is by far the best cheesecake spot in the city hands down!

They have several fancy cheesecakes. I’ve only had the chance to try the praline and pumpkin praline(obviously seasonal). How do I sum up Harriet’s cheesecakes… the 8th wonder of the world, that’s how!

Okay, I’m not one of those«gotta have my sweet fix» persons, but every once in a while, I like to indulge my tastebuds with a rich and creamy cheesecake that tastes so sinfully good, one slice and taste tantalizes your tastebuds beyond orgasm — Harriet’s Cheesecakes Unlimited delivered the perfect bite and experience to my tastebuds! I tried a slice of the Praline and a slice of the Snickers cheesecakes. After having one bite of both slices, I knew these sweet sensations should not be eaten simultaneously — too much of anything(even a good thing) is never good. I slowly enjoyed the rest of the Snickers slice with its generous portion of shaved white chocolate that evening. I ate the rest of the Praline slice two days later(yes, to my happy surprise, it was as creamy and delicious has my first bite two days earlier!). I have only a few bakeries bookmarked, but after my delightful experience, I moved Harriet’s to the top of my sweet favs! Whatever sweet goodness you are in the mood for, Harriet’s is bound to have a cheesecake flavor to satisfy your craving!

When we entered this evening, we were the only two to walk in to an empty storefront and I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was our first time here so I asked the guy at the front counter what his first choice was. Without hesitation, «praline.» I asked what his second recommendation was. «Sweet potato.» I wish I was this confident about where to get my car washed let alone which seats to pick in an empty matinée movie. Within less than a minute, there were about 7 men who came in behind us… all apparently needing their 7:30pm cheesecake fix before closing time at 8pm(I can’t imagine they all had pregnant wives at home). While he was preparing our order, a lady came from the back and took each persons order behind us. One by one, they ordered praline, praline, praline… guess it’s a solid choice. The pieces are 3 inches length wise by 3 inches across the crust. The sweet potato reminds me subtly of pumpkin pie on a cloud cheesecake. The praline is rich and caramel-y goodness. The slices are both rich enough and large enough to share(otherwise there is an increased risk of falling into a diabetic coma). Plenty of parking out front but don’t forget to bring cash, $ 6.50 per slice. It would be a bummer to order and then have to go find an ATM some place nearby. The only things that would be good would be 1) A few tables out front to eat at on a nice night, and 2) The option to order 2 half size pieces for the price of one so you could try more options. We will certainly be back and will recommend Harriet’s to all our dessert loving friends. One day when I am pregnant, I plan on sending my husband here – but we will probably be back at least 50 times before then anyway. Sayonara, Cheesecake Factory!

This place has been on my radar for months and when I finally tried it recently, I wasn’t disappointed! Unilocalers seem to love the praline cheesecake but the sweet potato cheesecake was the best of the four varieties that I tried — praline, cookies and cream, sweet potato, and chocolate fudge brownie. I’m a lover of all things cookies and cream so I thoroughly enjoyed that one but the sweet potato(yes, I’m coming back to it!) was such a perfect mix between a cheesecake and a sweet potato pie. The pie filling was stuffed in between cheesecake and a cream topping which offered a sweet mouthful with each bite! The only thing missing was pie crust. While I really loved this, if you’re a sweet potato pie purist, you may want to try one of the other varieties as this cheesecake may throw you for a loop! The quality of the cheesecakes combined with the sheer variety of what Harriet’s offers makes this a must try place for any cheesecake or dessert lover! The pieces are big enough and rich enough to split.

The first time I came here was two years ago, and I was smitten with both the mom and pop charm of this place, and the cheesecake. On a return visit I was pumped to find both are still as good as I remember. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon around 2pm, and they were already out of a few flavors, but luckily they had the French vanilla, and sweet potato cheesecakes I was gunning for. They were both sizable(well worth the $ 6.50/slice), and their texture was somewhere between the typical dense New York style, and a whipped cheesecake. Plus they were sweet, but not overly so, and the flavors were subtle, which I prefer. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that you can sample the cheesecakes, although I didn’t, a few other women in the shop took advantage of this. Plus there’s plenty of parking both in the lot, and on the street. The one downside is this place is cash only so make sure you swing by a bank before stopping by to get your cake fix.
