You may not be familiar with the brilliantly purple root vegetable called ube, but it's a staple in many Filipino desserts. It's like a sweet potato with a slightly more complex flavor profile. Not only is ube delicious, but the color is stunning, too. That vibrant color is all natural.
The Roasted Appalachia
Location: 787 Hambley Blvd, Pikeville, KY 41501
S'mores are the ultimate summer dessert, but too many of its spinoffs forget the most critical element of any s'more—the toasty marshmallows. This decadent cheesecake isn't guilty of that. With a thick graham cracker crust, generous smattering of melty chocolate and a thick layer or singed marshmallows, we're sure it tastes as good as it looks.
Creamy's by Cayla Jordan

Just because this isn't a traditional cheesecake doesn't mean it shouldn't count! These beautiful pink and blue cotton candy macarons are sandwiched with a sweet and savory cheesecake filling, so you can take part in a bite-sized indulgence.
Uncle Tetsu
Location: 400 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA 91007
We are obsessed with giant, fluffy Japanese-style cheesecakes. We have no idea how they get them to be so massive and airy, but the result is a delicious dessert with just the right amount of jiggle. Give it a shake to find out what we mean.
Backroads Bakery
Location: Lexington, KY 40505
Derby pie is a classic Kentucky dessert that's all about a scrumptious blending of chocolate and walnuts. Backroads Bakery takes that to the next level by making it a cheesecake, too. The power of science never ceases to amaze us.
Junior's Cheesecake
Location: 1626 Broadway, New York, NY 10019
This strawberry shortcake cheesecake is all about the incredible layers. It consists of a delicious strawberry cheesecake filling sandwiched between a couple of layers of yellow cake, complete with strawberry preserves and plenty of fresh whipped cream. It's the perfect balance between lightness and richness—and it photographs well, too.
Martha's Country Bakery
Location: 263 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211
These perfectly equal slices of cheesecake are great to begin with, but get even better when they're topped with crushed chocolate chip cookie pieces. Don't forget to get a glass of milk ready for these ones.
Cheesecaked
Location: 720 Morosgo Dr NE #110, Atlanta, GA 30324
They call this doozy of a dessert the "Chocoholic Cheesecake," and we can certainly see why. Not only does it have a massive layer of chocolate on the inside, and coating all of its sides, but it's also topped with chocolate chip cookies, Kit Kats, Ferrero Rocher balls and Pirouline straw cookies.
Rise and Shine Café
Location: 9685 Sunland Blvd, Shadow Hills, CA 91040
There's something about matcha that we find totally irresistible. The bright green color is super inviting, and the earthy taste is an awesome complement to the sweetness of a cheesecake. We'd love to eat this lovely slice in a single sitting.
Tatte Bakery and Café
Location: 399 Boylston St, Boston, MA 02116
This lovely cheesecake may have a simple design, but it's tough to deny that the flawlessly arranged berries make it totally suited to grace your Instagram page. We barely believe that the perfect pattern is real.
Rafele
Location: 29 7th Ave S, New York, NY 10014
Last but not least, we think there's something beautiful about this minimalistic baked ricotta cheesecake. There are no fancy fillings or toppings besides a single sprinkling of powdered sugar, yet it has a refined appearance. At a glance, we can tell it's much more than meets the eye. Brb while we book a flight to New York City to try it for ourselves.
