Hmmm cheesecake. It is a classic and the secret star on every coffee table. Heavenly creamy – whether from the tray, with a biscuit base or completely without a crust. Some of the cheesecake recipes in this list have been passed down from grandmothers and developed to perfection over the years. We were also able to find original American cheesecake, such as directly from New York or the legendary Cheesecake Factory.
The only question left is why the cheesecake is actually called cheesecake, when there is no cheese in it!? In fact, this is not entirely true, after all, the basic ingredient of a classic cheesecake is cottage cheese. And a few centuries ago, it was still popularly referred to as cheese. This becomes clearer with cheesecake, whose main ingredient is cream cheese. And yet, vegans also get their money’s worth in our list.
After all, most cheesecake bakers now also have alternatives without egg and without quark up their sleeves. We have embarked on a search for the tastiest and most diverse cheesecakes and cheesecakes in Berlin and are happy to share our personal favorites with you in this list. If you’re craving other cuisines, we also recommend our top 10 of Berlin’s most beautiful cafés .
PRINCESS CHEESECAKE
The name says it all. Princess Cheesecake has everything a cheesecake heart desires. The German classic is twice as high as usual and is available in different degrees of sweetness and even with honey or agave syrup as an alternative to refined sugar. The New York Cheesecake is traditionally creamy and modeled after the legendary Cheesecake Factory in Venice. The vegan alternatives are also in no way inferior to the others. – Why isn’t the place called Queen Cheesecake?

Tucholskystraße 37 | 10117 Berlin-Mitte.Daily 12 noon-7 pm
FIVE ELEPHANT
Above all, the coffee and the roastery are well known in the city, but the wonderfully creamy New York cheesecake with a crumbly biscuit base is the secret star. Although it would be worth the trip to Kreuzberg alone, it can now be found in three branches throughout the city – including KaDeWe. If that doesn’t speak for itself…
Five Elephant Kreuzberg Cafe & Bakery
Reichenberger Straße 101 | 10999 Berlin-Kreuzberg.Monday to Friday 8.30 a.m.-7 p.m. | Saturday + Sunday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.
BARBARA’S KITCHEN
In Barbara’s kitchen, every dish has been prepared by hand for over 10 years – all with a lot of love. At that time still under the name “Barbara’s Coffee Table” there were mainly sweets here. This is also the case with the delicious classic cheesecake. Its ingredients are regional and seasonal – and so the already fabulous classic cheesecake is also served with fresh fruit in summer.
Barbara’s Kitchen
Kärntener Straße 26 | 10827 . Sold only at the markets in Friedenau, Schöneberg, Charlottenburg and in the Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg.
BLACK APRON
Patissier Norbert attaches great importance to the taste and really good ingredients of his delicious baked goods. Given Black Apron’s incredibly creamy, sloppy New York cheesecake, it’s no surprise that the café was inspired by the owners’ and team’s trips to the USA. Without a doubt, all baked goods are worth it, but the cheesecake is our obvious favorite, it convinces not only with its creaminess, but also with a fine acidity and a crunchy base of homemade graham cookies – there is even more sinful than cheesecake brownie.
Black Apron
Invalidenstraße 1 | 10115.Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. | Saturday + Sunday 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
BARCOMI’S
Cynthia Barcomi comes from New Haven in the USA and studied in New York. No wonder that their New York cheesecake was not only one of the first to be bought in Berlin, but also one of the best. Their Classic Cheesecake is nice and creamy and not too sweet. More special versions such as Cottage Cheesecake and Coconut Meringue are also extremely good. There’s even a gluten-free version with a brownie base.
Barcomi’s Café & Coffee Roastery
Bergmannstraße 21 | 10961.Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. | Sunday 10 a.m.-7.30 p.m.
MR. MINSCH
His creative and astonishingly beautiful cake creations have already found their way to the Spanish royal court. We don’t know if Letizia and Co. also tried the cheesecake. But the classic coffee table tastes royally good to us.

JUBILATION
The pastry chefs at Jubel are infatuated with sweets and create real little works of art made of sugar, butter and eggs out of this love. Popular classics such as cheesecake are interpreted in a modern way with a lot of creativity – for example in the form of a wonderfully fresh goat’s cream cheese tartlet. The creations are guaranteed to taste as delicious as they look.

MRS. ZELLER
Annette Zeller knows a lot about her craft. No wonder, since she is a master baker in the fourth generation. The recipe for her classic cheesecake comes from her father and teacher himself. The classic can be purchased in Markthalle Neun or on order.

BRAVO BRAVKO KITCHEN WORKSHOP
Owner Bravko grew up around the corner and is a real Kreuzberg original. In his kitchen workshop, all cakes and tarts are made by hand. The many excellent cheescake creations with blueberry, raspberry, nut caramel or even cherry and white chocolate also benefit from the exclusively fresh, natural and high-quality ingredients.

LULA ON THE MARKET
The Lula bakery on the market is in operation every day, because everything comes fresh from the oven to the display almost around the clock. The cheesecake, more precisely a curd cake, optionally with blueberries and apple, comes here from the tray. Cheese mass, fruit and dough form a wonderful liaison, which acquires a unique consistency and a mildly sweet aroma thanks to the tart yeast puff pastry drawn into the cheese mass.
