Fun fact: Cheesecakes are one of the oldest desserts in the world, and the oldest cheesecake recipe dates all the way back to 230 AD! So it’s no wonder the beloved dessert has evolved to include many variants, from the classic New York cheesecake to the lighter Japanese cheesecake to even durian cheesecake.
For those who are always on the lookout for new variations of this yummy dessert, here are 10 cafes and bakeries in Klang Valley to check out for your next cheesecake hunt.

Two Chefs Lab is a neighbourhood Japanese restaurant in Bandar Mahkota Cheras that pays homage to authentic Japanese cuisine, but with a modern twist. Their menu may come off as lavish fare, with sashimi platters and wagyu beef on the list, but the restaurant’s cafe-like setting has a fuss-free ambiance synonymous with their take on food.
Their tofu cheesecake (RM12.90 per plate) is light and airy, without being overly sweet. The simple plating and taste of the dessert makes it a great after-meal order which won’t leave you feeling guilty or overly stuffed.

Purple Monkey is starting to make a name for themselves in the cheesecake scene as their frozen cheesecakes are becoming a household favourite among residents in Klang Valley, Penant, and Johor. They’re essentially an online cheesecake delivery company, but they also have a physical store in Petaling Jaya for you to dine in at.
Their signature item is the frozen mango cheesecake – a dense cheesecake topped with generous slices of mangoes arranged in a beautiful rose pattern. The frozen mangoes bring a refreshing taste to the cheesecake and prevents you from getting that overly stuffed feeling that comes with eating most denser types of cheesecakes.

Purple Monkey also has a range of other flavours such as salted caramel, peaches, durian, matcha green tea, blueberry, to name a few.
You can get their mini cakes known as Mini Monkeys at RM33 for 3, or an entire 6-inch cake (from RM65) that can serve up to 6 people.

Mention ‘Japanese cheesecake’ in Klang Valley and The Tokyo Restaurant will pop into a lot of people’s minds. Although they’re primarily a Japanese fusion restaurant-bar, their cheesecakes are so celebrated that they have become synonymous with their identity.
Cheesecake connoisseurs and casual followers of the dessert alike are in love with their 6th Avenue cheesecake (RM20 per slice) and would reportedly keep returning for it. Unlike regular cheesecakes that have a dense texture, this one is extremely soft to the extent where it melts in your mouth like a mousse. Served alongside a generous dollop of fresh cream, it’s an indulgent dessert that’s worth its higher price point.

5. Huckleberry Food & Fare – Basque burnt cheesecake
Image credit: @myhuckleberrykl
Huckleberry was one of the first few cafes in the Klang Valley to put the Basque burnt cheesecake (RM18 per slice), a version of the dessert that doesn’t come with a crust and is baked at a very high temperature, on their menu. Theirs are made with French cream cheese and organic eggs, baked till they achieve a lightly charred “crust” on the outside and a creamy, thick cheese texture on the inside.
Even though Basque burnt cheesecakes are pretty commonplace now, Huckleberry’s remains a favourite as proven by their long waiting list during weekends, so be sure to head there early in the morning so you won’t have to queue as long.
Image credit: @myhuckleberrykl
They also have a variety of pastries, breads, pies, savoury meals, and freshly brewed coffee priced around RM12 to RM30 to fulfill all your brunch needs.
Huckleberry @ Bukit Damansara
Address: Plaza Damansara, 2G & 4G, Jalan Medan Setia 2, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur

Telephone: 03-2098 7933
6. La Manila – classic New York cheesecakes
Image credit: @lh.fan
La Manila is a bakery-cafe that has been around since the 80s. Back then, it was the go-to place for quality cheesecakes, but as new artisanal bake shops started springing up in the Klang Valley, it has turned into a forgotten classic.
They still have a shop in Taman Megah where you can get a plethora of old-school cakes such as carrot walnut, toffee banana, creamy chocolate, mud brownies, and oldie but goldie New York cheesecake – all of which are priced at only around RM8 per slice.
While their confections aren’t necessarily Instagram-worthy, the classic taste of their cakes will definitely bring back fond memories of a time when your camera didn’t get first dibs on your dessert.
Address: 24, Jalan SS 24/13, Taman Megah, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Opening hours: 9AM-7PM, Daily

When you combine 2 crowd favourites – salted caramel and cheesecake – you get a treat that’s sure to strike a chord with a lot of people’s palates.
Tray Cafe’s salted caramel cheesecake (RM14.80) is coated with crunchy nuts drenched in salted caramel glaze and spread over a dense cheesecake. The nuts add a nice bite to perfectly complement the softness of the cheesecake.

Tray’s baked goods are made fresh daily, and the list of offerings on their menu is constantly switched up – Victoria sponge, berry pavlova, and Black Forest (all going for around RM14 per slice) can be found pretty frequently – so be sure to give them a call beforehand if you’d like to try a particular cake so you don’t make a wasted trip down.

They have dozens of cakes, but cheesecake lovers should go for their macadamia nut cheesecake (RM13 per slice).

Littlepeople is a quaint spot with unique food renditions. They brand themselves as a pastry lab and it’s not hard to see why. From madeleines, to roulades, to cookies, they’re constantly whipping up something new and updating their dessert menu.
While they like to experiment with new confections, they do serve a crowd favourite: burnt cheesecake in 3 flavours – original (RM15 per slice), matcha (RM17 per slice), and hojicha (RM17 per slice). The hojicha one, in particular, is a more unique find. Served with hojicha sauce, the cheesecake has a nice hint of roasted aftertaste – a pleasant delight for lovers of the tea.

You’ll want to save some stomach space for their homemade popiah ice cream (RM22). As its name suggests, the dish is an interesting concoction of homemade sweet potato and rose damascena tea flavoured ice cream placed on top of both steamed and fried popiah skin.
