If you're searching for the best cheesecake in Bangkok, I should be upfront: I'm biased. I run Charlotte Bakery. But I also grew up on my mum's and my grandmas' baking back in England, which makes me fussy — and fussy is exactly what you want in a baker. So here's my honest take on cheesecake in this city, what we do differently, and which one I'd put in front of you first.
Why I Don't Rate Most Cheesecake in Bangkok
Without bashing others too much — and maybe because I've been spoilt growing up with my mum's and grandmas' baking — I just don't rate most of the cheesecakes over here.
Maybe it's the ingredients. Maybe it's the fact that everything seems mass-produced, made to ship out to multiple vendors for maximum profit. There's just something missing. A cheesecake made in a factory on Monday to be eaten somewhere across town on Friday tastes exactly like that, no matter how pretty the box is.
The Three Things That Make Our Cheesecakes Stand Out
As with everything we make at Charlotte Bakery, there are three things that make our cheesecakes stand out:
- My amazing grandma's award-winning recipes. If you've read the story of Grandma Amy's kitchen, you'll know these recipes weren't written for a production line — they were written to be eaten the same day, by people she loved.
- The techniques she passed down. I'd argue this is the most important thing. A recipe tells you what goes in; technique is the part you can't buy, copy, or scale up in a factory.
- The ingredients. We use imported, premium ingredients — proper Elle & Vire French cream cheese and real Lotus Biscoff biscuit bases, not the cheapest thing that survives a supply chain.
The One I'd Order First: Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake
I'm going to go with the Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake. It was my recipe and my design, and it's a full-on mouthgasm in every bite.
Fair warning: it's a little on the sweet side, so it might not be on a typical Thai radar — but for the farang living in Bangkok, it's a must-try.
If Biscoff sweetness isn't your thing, our Passion Fruit Cheesecake goes the other way — sharper and fresher. And if you can't commit to one flavour (no judgement), the Mini Cheesecake Cups let you try six toppings across one box.
Baked or No-Bake? An Honest Answer
I'm not going to lie: cheesecakes are not my favourite thing we bake — and that's only because everything we make here is so good. Ask me on a different day and I'll wax lyrical about Victoria sponge instead.
But if I had to pick a side, it would be non-baked. A no-bake cheesecake sets soft and silky instead of dense, and it lets the cream cheese do the talking rather than the oven. When you're using proper French cheese, hiding it behind an hour of baking feels like a waste. Our Ferrero Swirl Cheesecake is a good place to see what I mean.
Fresh or Don't Bother: Cheesecake Delivery in the Bangkok Heat
If you take one thing from this post, make it freshness. If you want a good cheesecake, you really don't want one pumped full of preservatives keeping it from melting in the Bangkok heat, or claiming to stay "fresh" for longer. You need real, honest, same-day cheesecake.
That's why we offer same-day or next-day delivery on all our baked products, depending on what time you order. Place your order before 12:00 PM and it qualifies for same-day delivery within Bangkok — in our chilled EV fleet, not on the back of a motorbike at 2 PM. We also deliver across Nonthaburi and Pathum Thani, or you can collect it yourself from Charlotte Bakery on Pattanakarn Soi 11.
Dan's Top 5 Tips for Buying Cheesecake in Bangkok
- 1. Read the ingredients, not the packaging — If a cheesecake is built to survive a week on a shelf, it was built for the shelf, not for you.
- 2. Same shop, same kitchen — If you spot the identical cheesecake in five different cafés, it came from a factory, not a bakery.
- 3. Order same-day, eat same-day — Cheesecake is at its best the day it's made. Order before 12:00 PM and ours arrives the same day.
- 4. Keep it cold — Real cream cheese and no preservatives means the fridge is its friend. Bangkok heat is not.
- 5. Match the sweetness to the eater — Sweet tooth? Go Biscoff. Prefer tang? Go passion fruit. There's no wrong answer, only wrong pairings.
