Zen-sational Cheesecake

Marylou was super sweet about my order for me! I ordered the vanilla cheesecake then 2 dozen of the mini dark chocolate raspberry cheesecakes to put around it. She even added red and purple decals to match the theme of my moms birthday party! Everything was so delicious and everyone asked me where I got the cake from :) definitely calling her again for my birthday next month :)

Tremendous cheesecake, wonderful experience– thank you for being so accommodating at the last minute!
I had such a busy week, meant to make my son’s favorite chocolate chip cheesecake from scratch but ran out of time and energy… Marylou, the owner and cheesecake chef extraordinaire saved the day and created a perfect dark chocolate chip cheesecake and saved the day! She is now located in la Costa and she’s my new Cheesecake source! Delicious cheesecake– will be calling her for an order of cheesecake bites for a memorial brunch I’m hosting Tuesday.

Ordered a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit. Outstanding buttery crust and fresh cream flavor. Mary Lou was friendly, responsive, and very professional.

My husband loves pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and Christmas!
UNTIL he tasted Mary Lou’s pumpkin cheesecake at Rimels. So now we order her pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving and Christmas and my baking (I make a mean pumpkin pie,) is on hold. We are carrying two of her cheesecakes to northern California for a family Thanksgiving this year.
Everyone who knows her variety of cheesecakes tells us to try them all, but my husband cannot get past the pumpkin cheesecake.
These cakes are the best! No matter what flavor you choose!

Wonderful and delicious cheesecake! We took the cheesecake to Diner en Blanc, it traveled so well and tasted delicious. Friends in our group said it was the best cheesecake they ever had and soon later bid at an auction for 1 year of zen-​sational cheesecake and won! We are all fans now!

My roommate brought home one of these cheesecakes and we were hooked! The sad thing for us is that now we are ordering them for no reason other than they are SO amazing!!! We don’t need a special occasion to eat cheesecake! I just ordered a chocolate raspberry and can’t wait to try it, the other flavors have all been superb and I imagine this will be also! There is just no point of eating any other cheesecake… This is simply the best there is!!! And, Marylou is wiling to customize and make exactly what you want, it just doesn’t get any better!

I found Zen-​sational Cheesecakes and Mary Lou on Unilocal after doing a search for chocolate cheesecakes near me. I was in need of a chocolate cheesecake for a friend’s birthday celebration. Mary Lou, the owner and chef, made me the cake even though she was booked up and heading out of town. I ordered the chocolate raspberry cheesecake and it was to die for! Raspberry was very subtle, the chocolate was smooth and the crust was delicious! It was the hit of the party! I highly recommend Zen-​sational Cheesecakes for your next party!

My Parents were in town visiting and I ordered the Orio Cheesecake for a Special dinner and they loved it. My Husband and I had it at Zenbu and I wanted them to try it. This is the Best One ever!!!

We love the cheesecakes that Zen-​satiional creates. Our kids and friends can’t get enough.

Zensational Cheesecakes did a sensational job on a cheesecake I special ordered for my son’s graduation. Ordering was easy, the decorating at no extra cost, the time and thought put into it, and most important… he being a cheesecake lover said it was the best he ever had! Thank you so much!

I felt compelled to compose this review after eating some of the BEST cheesecake from Zen-​Sational Cheesecakes, I’ve ever tasted in my life! I had the pleasure of meeting MaryLou Flanders, and sampling a cheesecake bite at an event a few months back in Cardiff-​by-​the-​Sea, near Rimel’s Rotisserie/​Zenbu!
Wow!!! So moist and creamy! Just saying it was delicious doesn’t truly convey how good it was!
I ordered (2) dozen cheesecake bites for Easter for my family so they could taste the goodness! Everyone instantly became fans of Zen~Sational Chessecakes!!! I highly recommend anyone who loves cheesecake in the San Diego County area to definitely call MaryLou and give her a try! I drove 26 miles, one-​way to go get mine! And will do it again, very soon!
Respectfully,
Kevin~

Hands down best cheesecake I have ever had! I have had the pleasure of tasting several flavors of Zen-​sational Cheesecakes and I can’t decide which is my favorite because they are all so good. Each year I buy a couple of pies for the holidays and sadly, there are never left overs. This past year I had to make a last minute order, and Mary Lou, was able to make it happen! As a bonus, they are locally made in Cardiff.

The best cheesecake I’ve had by far!!! Don’t bother going anywhere else. Downside is that its quite small for the price you pay… but totally worth the money. My family loves the cheesecake so much that we request it every birthday as an excuse to get it.

It’s easy to follow the crowd and just say this was a delicious cheesecake (which it was), but I gotta go into some detail and state why this is a damn fine 5-​Star cheesecake. My girlfriend and I split a slice of Strawberry Cream, her choice as I would have gone with a chocolate or mocha style if they had it, and raised an eyebrow at the portion size after shelling out close to $ 9 for a such a tiny and poorly cut thing (blame Rimel’s for that), but then we started to taste it…
The berry was light, only the sweet coming through with none of the tart. It was heavy on the cream, but giving it a richness that didn’t weight down the flavor. This by themselves were pretty excellent, a good to great cheesecake that would have gotten a strong 4-​Star from the both of us; then you eat the crust. Holy crap it’s delicious! Real butter, brown sugar, graham cracker, all of it cooked perfectly with no burn and all caramel taste that melts on the tongue with every crumbly bit.
Mother of god, it’s fantastic! Even with my wishing for the Tuxedo over the Strawberry Cream weighing down my opinion, there is no getting away from how good everything is especially with that crust leading the charge. Definitely going to try another slice sometime soon and I suggest anyone reading to do the same!

I really lucked out. I thought it was a store and called to get location. She happened to have an extra cheesecake and I picked it up for a birthday. She had it decorated by the time I got there. And a raves it was the best the have had. I will be back!

I was never really a Cheesecake kind of gal… until I had the original flavored Zen-​sational Cheesecake. It’s pretty much one of those heaven-​on-​earth desserts, from the graham cracker crust to the smooth, but light and fluffy texture of the cake.
Tip: The Cheesecake bites/​cupcakes give you the full experience of all the ingredients in one bite. I think they are normally topped with a berry of sorts as well, but I highly recommend ordering for any type of party or event. Easy, tasty finger food that your guests will love!

If you haven’t tried one of Marylou’s cheesecakes you are really missing out. They are amazing. My favorite is the banana cheesecake. It’s very smooth and delicious. You will love them!

OMG… don’t buy it if you plan to just take one bite… it’s impossible! My standards are very high when it comes to cheesecake. I’ve also enjoyed several different varieties, although, I am a fan of simple plain cheesecake… the original.
I think that the recipe has a secret ingredient though. It has something to do with her passion and love being the main ingredients.
I once heard someone say «you can’t buy a wool suit for the price of polyester»…
EXTRAORDINARY isn’t «cheap». If you want «cheap» I suggest you go to Vons.
I had a box of the mini’s for a party and was watching my girlish figure, so I put one aside for later. I was not happy to find that someone found it and ate it before I had a chance. I will find them and they will suffer the consequences!
Wonderful. Worth every penny (AND CALORIE)!! On a personal note… she is a love. She loves what she does and it shows in each bite!

Delicious! I brought it to my family’s Thanksgiving dinner, and my sister said it’s the best cheesecake she’s ever had. It’s not cheap though — $ 35 for a medium sized cake, and it’s pretty thin. The flavor is excellent though, and it’s so smooth and creamy.
Tip: There’s no storefront, and you need to order ahead of time.

I had the vanilla cheesecake at The Unilocal Glamboree and it makes my mouth water just talking about it. Made to perfections and presented sooooo darn cute! The owner and her son were just so friendly and I really thought they tasted wonderful. Definitely recommend to cater or for a Birthday/​Celebration!
