If there was an award for the best-looking Basque burnt cheesecake in town, these guys will easily take the cake (pun intended).

It’s as if its top is burnt and glazed specifically to entice you to take a chomp, revealing a dense and textured middle.

Vanilla pods, sour cream, and even rum are used to add to the aromatics of the cake, and trust us when we say it definitely tastes as good as it looks. A slice goes for $8, while an entire cake is $66.

Finally got my hand on @bakerybrera cruffin. I like their cruffin has a nice butter flakey layered top and fluffy chewy bottom. A delightful treat to have

Olivia Restaurant and Lounge’s delicious cheesecakes have become so wildly popular that the restaurant and lounge have decided to set up a new cafe entirely dedicated to cheesecakes.

It’s as amazing as it sounds because you can get the original Olivia burnt Basque cheesecake/tart here, in slices, a whole cake, and even a personal size portion.

The more adventurous should seek out their chocolate cheesecake, Idiazabal Cheesecake (crustless cheesecake), and American Cheesecake Macaron.

If we could swoon over cheesecake, we would. 

Key Differentiators

  • Absolutely delicious variety of cheesecakes, including Basque Burnt Cheesecake
  • Offers some of the best cheesecake options in Singapore

Those looking for local or creative spins on the burnt cheesecake can find it here.

The quaint bakery was already known for offering Singaporean favorites like kaya toast paired with a fragrant cuppa kopi.

But many now come for their Burnt Cheese Cruffin ($6.20), Original Burnt Cheesecake ($8.30 a slice), as well as seasonal flavors such as matcha and pandan.

Try their Mao Shan Wang Burnt Cheesecake (walk-ins and preorders only) too, made using fresh durian puree from a local fruit store.

Key Differentiators

  • Creative Burnt Cheesecakes
  • Seasonal Flavors

Client Testimonial

Enjoy the green tea croissant so much! Every week, we gotta head down to get them. Ops! The price is a little expensive compare to other bakery store, but the quality you are paying is worth every bite of mouth. My go to bakery other than four leave.

An establishment within The Alkaff Mansion started with Basque natives in the kitchen, expect the famed culinary region’s roots to run deep here.

And at Txa, it’s their Original Burnt Cheesecake ($45 for 5-inch, $70 for 8-inch)—or as they call it in Spain, the Tarta De Queso “La Vina”—that you want.

They follow the original recipe as it was first created in San Sebastian way back when, resulting in a cake that is fluffy and toasty, yet smooth and creamy all at the same time.

It’s also one of the least cloyingly-sweet ones in town, so it doesn’t feel too heavy indulging in more than one slice.

Key Differentiators

  • Follows the original burnt Basque cheesecake recipe
  • Delicious cheesecake

Client Testimonial

Second time dining here and both times the quality of food and ambience was spot on. Not many places like this in Singapore with both outdoor and indoor seating. Menu is focused on both food and drinks.

When it comes to deciding which is the best Basque burnt cheesecake in Singapore, leave it to a Spanish native to set the standard.

And at one-Michelin-starred Basque Kitchen by Aitor, you can expect just that.

It’s $78 for a whole cake, or $16 a slice for takeaway and delivery.

While they’re best known for their decadent take on cakes with a local spin, such as their Gula Melaka and Pulut Hitam cakes, their Basque Burnt Cheesecake ($42 for 6-inch) has managed to shine too.

Go for this one if you’re not into the OTT gooey, sinful renditions like the others have done.

Theirs are light and soft, yet still cheesy enough and boasting a nicely torched top for a good balance of smokiness and richness.

Key Differentiators

  • Well balanced burnt cheesecakes

Client Testimonial

Me and 3 other pax came here on a Sunday late afternoon to unwind. Their dessert cakes were quite enjoyable.
