DEFINITELY a place to visit and try if you are in NYC! I had heard and read and watched so many shorts and reels about this and also from my work manager that I was already excited to visit and try these cheesecakes! I must say that ALL the hype about Eileen’s Special Cheesecakes place is worth every single word! A tiny but unique place, small counter and a huge display of fresh cheesecakes and one can see the cake making in the bakery behind the counter! We tried 3 different cakes (one from the today’s special) and all were delicious and scrumptious 😋 - perfect blend of sweet, cheese and a hint of the actual flavour you select. I only wish words can capture a taste so that these cheesecakes can be described in a right sense! 200% worth a visit and experience - you will always face a short queue and you can stand and eat inside the shop! Enjoy 😊

Delicious. The salted caramel was absolutely the standout here. Very light and fluffy but the scorched top was so toasty and interesting to balance the cheesecake itself, which is exceptional. There was a line but they had people in and out like clockwork. Great spot to pick up something sweet.
If you love cheesecake you must visit this place!!!
There are a lot of options ( cherry, strawberry, blueberry, chocolate, banana, plain etc).
I strongly recommend it!!
The staff is very helpful and polite!
Every cheesecake cost 6$.
I tried 2 because the portion is not big enough.
This elegant strawberry cheesecake is one of my favorites. Not only does it possess a delicate and radiant appearance, but its taste equally delights the body and all five senses. If you happen to visit New York, I highly recommend trying it at least once. How about indulging in this delightful experience?
This is a gem in little Italy ! On our recent trip to NY we especially went to Litte Italy to try Eileen’s special cheesecake and we were not disappointed at all! So many flavours to choose from - we tried the blueberry and caramel and both were delicious! We loved that these were bite sized small cheesecakes and does not leave you feeling over full! We enjoyed these little beauties in the park just opposite, Perfect addition to our foodie trip !

I’m a tourist, so of course I always go to Juniors and I do love it there, but this is my new favorite. The crust on this cheesecake is amazing too. I live the small sizes, so I can try multiple types too.
The place is small, and very limited places to eat inside, , but it wasn’t crowded and the lady behind the register was super friendly. Next time I come to NY I’ll be coming here before Junior’s.

I love salted caramel. The top is crispy sugar and it is not too sweet. The red velvet is okay for me, not the best. Overall, though it’s bit expensive, I consider it is pretty good to try.
I saw Eileen’s in some video online, claiming they have one of the best cheesecakes in New York. After trying them, I believe it.
I love that they have tiny cheesecakes, with a variety of flavors. It makes it so much easier to try a bunch of different options.
HIGHLY recommend the salted caramel cheesecake. The textures and flavors are about as close to perfection as I’ve had in a cheesecake.
MUST VISIT! Cheesecake is pricy but very tasty and lovely texture, good variety of different cheesecakes. The people are very friendly as well. We will definitely visit again
A light and airy cheesecake that rivals the more famous New York cheesecake. I've had some amazing cheesecakes, but this is by far the best. The crumb layer just adds another layer of deliciousness. The cake melts in your mouth, and has you going for another bite before you know it. I was skeptical that a ricotta cheesecake could be done so well, but you won't be disappointed. My only regret is that I didn’t get another slice of cake to go. My next visit in New York will include a stop for another slice of this of this pure, handmade goodness.
