Where To Find The Best Cheesecakes in Sydney

Whilst cheesecake undoubtedly falls under both the cake and dessert category, it also exists in a realm of its own, and the variety of cheesecakes available in Sydney has warranted this very post.

Whether you prefer a soft and fluffy Japanese cheesecake, a golden burnt Basque or a baked cheesecake beauty, we've considered your needs. In a world where people ask you to decide between cake and cheese, choose both and read on for the best cheesecakes in Sydney. 

The Sweet Chick

Because life is better with sweet treats, The Sweet Chick is making the classic cheesecake even tastier with creative flavour combinations.

Le TAO 

You'd be forgiven for thinking you're walking past a luxury accessory brand with a glimpse at Le TAO's front window. With sleek, minimalist and modern interiors and a curated menu, the vibe in-store is chic.

Le TAO was founded in Japan and an outpost finally reached Sydney in 2023 - we've been salivating over their creations ever since. These exquisite cakes are available whole only which means you can't just pop by for a slice - it's one to share! Opt for their famous double fromage if you fancy something classic or one of their limited-edition specials if you feel like something fun.
