Cheesecake, also known as cheese cake, is one of the most beloved types of cakes, commonly found in many bakeries and even frequently spotted in cafés. But finding a cheesecake that truly hits the spot isn’t always easy. ETtoday EBC News Cloud has specially selected six extremely popular cheesecake shops in Taipei to satisfy your sweet tooth whenever you’re craving that distinctive cheesy flavor and crispy crust.

Zhimei Cake
Address: No. 89, Dexing East Road, Shilin District, Taipei City
Phone: 02 2835 6956

A well-known local cheese cake shop located in Tianmu. Its unassuming exterior resembles a typical old-school cake shop. Unless you’re in the know, you might pass by it dozens of times without realizing there’s such a wildly popular light cheese cake inside. This ultra-smooth light cheese cake is incredibly light, soft, and delicate—perfect for those who prefer a less heavy texture compared to dense cheesecakes.

TASTERS (吃吃看), a long-established and highly reputed cheese cake shop in the Tianmu area with over 20 years of history, is loved by many celebrities. With its strategy of selling by the slice and using mystery cheese brands, it has made cheesecakes more affordable and famous in Taipei. Located near schools, the shop offers not only cakes and bread but also snacks and cookies, giving off an old-time general store vibe. Their signature original cheese cake sells over 200 slices daily, known for its rich, dense, and creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the fragrant, crispy, and slightly salty cookie base.

Frocheese is a charming cheesecake shop that gained fame in Taipei for its signature cheesecakes. Beyond the cakes, their coffee and cocktails are also standout menu items. The classic New York-style cheesecake is simple yet elegant, offering a smooth, layered texture that's refreshing without being overly rich. They also offer a variety of other flavors including red wine and pear cheese, rose cheese, and osmanthus sweet wine cheese. Each variation introduces different cheese profiles, making it nearly impossible to stop at just one slice.

Holding a notable place in Taipei’s cheesecake scene, Sanhuaitang features a retro exterior with traditional Chinese aesthetics. Its appearance hardly hints at the Western-style cheesecakes, handmade cookies, and coffee served inside—a delightful clash that somehow works in harmony. The signature original cheesecake, ordered by almost every customer, is rich and dense—more so than typical light cheese cakes—and pairs well with the digestive biscuit base. Paired with a single-origin coffee, it makes for a blissfully cozy afternoon tea experience.

Originating from Nagoya, Japan, and now in Taiwan, PINEDE offers a cheesecake made with AOC-certified French cheese. The texture is similar to that of a heavy cheesecake.

Another more affordable option, the 1974 baked cheesecake, follows the preparation method of the founder’s father from 1974, adhering strictly to every step of the process. It preserves the master pastry chef’s original philosophy toward desserts — with subtle cheese and milk aromas, it’s refreshingly light and classic in taste.
