I like good, New York style cheese cake, and this is the place in Greensboro to get it. Parking can be a bit dicey, but it's worth the effort. I doubt that there is finer cheese cake than theirs anywhere within a day's drive of here.

We basically tried all desserts of this place and the blueberry cupcake as well as the raisin cookies are amazing. They have a lot of variety on cheesecakes but its not my favorite dessert. My husband tried 4 flavors such as caramel, banana, vanilla/ chocolate and he liked all. We did not like the red velvet cake or cupcake though... More

While staying overnight in Greensboro we had to stop by Cheesecakes by Alex due to its great trip advisor reviews. Great little charming spot in downtown Greensboro. Variety of Cheesecakes, cakes and deserts. They have a nice outdoor garden area and free parking as well. The cheesecake was a delish. Did not dissapoint. Don't miss it while in Greensboro.

My favorite dessert is cheesecake. To treat myself on my birthday, I go to Cheesecakes by Alex. This is not where you go when you are on a diet. This is where you go when you really want to treat yourself to something special. The restaurant has a variety to suit any taste. In addition, they have ice cream and... More

I know I shouldn't have walked in the doors, how can you stick to your diet when you have so many incredible treats to choose. There are so many different types of cheesecakes it's really best to go in with a group of people so you can all sample each others cakes. And there's more, great coffee to go with... More

So many choices and they are all excellent! Whether we eat inside or out we always enjoy it. The coffee is excellent too. Yummy! We go every chance we get.

So many many tasty choices. We grabbed a slice of a few different cheesecakes and couldn't decide which one was the best. Eat in or take out. Highly recommend grabbing dinner a block down at Crafted (extraordinary Taco Joint), and top it off with any of the yummy desserts here.

You will have to visit Alex's many times to try every choice of cheesecake and the other desserts too! You might want to forget dinner and dine on cheesecake alone!

This place has been around for a while and it is just a nice place to pop in for a slice of cheesecake, a muffin, a slice of cake or just a scoop of ice cream.

The place was packed the night we went, with boomers & yuppies & X'ers, oh my! But everyone shifted around each other politely to get into position when it was their turn to answer one of the ladies behind the counter nearly shouting, "What can I get for you, please?" Once answered, our pieces of cakes & pies, pastries and... More
