About Junior's Cheesecakes

What makes Junior's Cheesecake unique?
Junior's Cheesecake is a pure New York style cream cheese cake. We use only the finest of ingredients including Philadelphia® cream cheese, heavy cream, fresh eggs, sugar and vanilla. Most of our regular cheesecakes have a signature sponge cake bottom-because it's a cake, not a pie!! But seriously, what makes them unique are these high quality ingredients and the fact that we still bake them in small batches of only 88 at a time, hand mixing the ingredients just like you would at home with the same recipe for that last 55 years.

YES. All of our products come with our 100% satisfaction guarantee. We are very confident your cake will arrive in perfect condition and be delicious right down to the last bite.

Handling Instructions

How will my cheesecake arrive?

All of our cheesecakes are shipped frozen in specially designed packaging to safely transport our products. Cakes will ship with ice paks or dry ice depending on the style of cake chosen. As long as the cake is cool to touch, it is perfect for eating even if there is no dry ice remaining in the package.

For cakes shipped with dry ice, be sure not handle the remaining dry ice with bare hands. These cakes will be shipped in a Junior's signature orange and white striped box.

What are the handling instructions? Or, what do I do with my cheesecake once it is delivered?

Our cheesecakes should be removed from their Styrofoam containers upon arrival. For cakes shipped with ice paks, dispose of the Styrofoam packaging and place the cake in the Junior's signature box. At this point, you may consume, refrigerate, or refreeze. Our cakes will last up to seven days in the refrigerator or up to six months in the freezer. Whichever you choose, your Junior's cake will taste as fresh as if you were enjoying it in one of our restaurants. Cakes can be refrozen.

How should I serve my Junior's Cheesecake?

Cheesecakes should be served at room temperature. If frozen, leave cake overnight in the refrigerator and defrost on counter 3 hours before serving. Otherwise, defrost on counter 4-5hrs  before serving. Yes, it really takes that long.

A few of our fruit items and "cakes within a cake" items are best slightly cool. These include Strawberry Cheesecake and Lemon Coconut Cheesecake.

What is the best way in which to cut a whole cheesecake?
Cheesecakes are best served at room temperature. Use a warm knife (dip in hot water) to cut the cheesecake. A chef's knife or cake knife works best. Wipe the knife with a damp towel in between each slice to ensure a smooth cut. Watch for fast hands trying to grab the cut slices! Enjoy!
