Your July 30th Agenda: Cheesecake. Everything Else Can Wait.

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

It's National Cheesecake Day!

(Although If You Ask Me Cheesecake Deserves More Than Just One Day)

Let's face it... if there were a dessert hall of fame, cheesecake would have its own wing. As someone once said, "cheesecake is the answer, no matter what the question is."

 

Creamy. Rich. Decadent. Sweet. Tangy. Baked. No-bake. Plain. Loaded with toppings. There really isn't a wrong way to enjoy cheesecake—and that's exactly why it deserves its own holiday.

 

Every year on July 30, cheesecake lovers have the perfect excuse to skip the guilt and go straight to dessert. (As if we really needed an excuse!)

 

47 Creative Cheesecake Recipes For Every Occasion

 

Are you a cheesecake purist who believes nothing beats a thick slice of classic New York-style cheesecake? Or do you head straight for the toppings? Fresh strawberries, blueberries, cherries, caramel, chocolate, Oreo crumbles, peanut butter cups... the possibilities are practically endless.

 

Then there's the age-old debate...

Should cheesecake be simple and elegant... or piled high with every topping imaginable?

 

Cheesecake will always taste like loveNo matter which side you're on, one thing is certain: cheesecake has a way of making an ordinary day feel a little more special.

So today on National Cheesecake Day, treat yourself. Visit your favorite bakery. Order that slice you've been thinking about. Or pull out your favorite recipe and make one at home. Calories don't count on National Cheesecake Day... or at least that's my story and I'm sticking with it!

 

What's your all-time favorite cheesecake flavor? 🍓🍫🍋🥜🍒 Classic? Chocolate? Lemon? Cherry? Turtle? Peanut Butter? Or something completely unique? My personal favorites are vanilla bean cheesecake and espresso martini cheesecake.

 

You can't buy happiness but you can buy cheesecake

Nina, I do love cheesecake with either strawberries or cherry topping.  Haven't seen any here, but maybe I haven't been looking either.

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner sorry, but that is one thing I can't help you out with, Joan! :))) I'm not a strawberry fan, but I do love cherries. I had cheesecake last night at Del Frisco's. They serve it with strawberries and I just brush those off.

That sounds YUMMY!   Can't wait to celebrate my residency card, and go back to Pepper's for their steak again.

Good morning Nina. I try to avoid cheesecake but since today is National Cheesecake Day, I will participate. It might be plain, with strawberries, blueberries or maybe cherries. Maybe two slices one plain and one with fruit. Now I have cheesecake on my mind. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin I have cheesecake on my mind today... but I also have a slice of cheesecake in my fridge for later!

Nina oddly enough cheesecake is not one of my favorites, I like it but it is rarely my choice on the desert menu.

George Souto hi George... I rarely order cheesecake when eating out (unless I'm at Cheesecake Factory), but I do a cheesecake desserts now and then.

Good Thursday morning, Nina. This is a good reason to celebrate. It has been a long time since I had a slice of cheesecake.

Hi Roy... well then, maybe today is the day to break that streak and have a slice of cheesecake! :)

I can certainly get into National Cheesecake Day!  I would want a bite of each of them in your featured photo, except the lemon one, haha.

Jul 30, 2026 06:11 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Brian England I would pass on the blueberry cheesecake. I love lemon desserts. But my first choice would be the chocolate chip/oreo on the far right. Fortunately, we would not need to fight over the selections!

Jul 30, 2026 10:24 AM
Brian England

Maybe if they were in front of us Nina Hollander, Broker you could have the full lemon, I could have the full blueberry, and we could split the others, haha.

Brian England that works for me, Brian!

One of my favorite desserts. I like my cheesecake light not too heavy. I read recently about Spanish Cheesecake I think and it is supposed to be light and delicious.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 hi Nick... I also like the lighter cheesecakes, as well. (Unless it's vanilla bean cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory.)

I love cheesecake and have a close friend who also loves it. Maybe I will go out and grab one as I don't have time to cook one and take it over to him.

Leanne Smith hi Leanne... if I buy cheesecake I love to buy the ones that offer slices of different flavors.

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker ,

Good to know today is National Cheese Cake Day. I like cheesecake but don't love it only because there are others I like so much better and tend to order out.

Dorie Dillard Austin TX hi Dorie... I don't order cheesecake typically as a dessert when eating out, unless I'm at Cheesecake Factory. But I do like preparing and enjoy cheesecake type desserts at home.

Nina, like you 'if' we buy a cheesecake for a party we're more likely to find one that has different flavors. Something for everyone.  I do remember the days when Cheesecake factory opened up at the Biltmore and OMG we loved having lunch there and deciding what kind of cheese cake to indulge in.  Why am I now craving cheesecake 🤣

Anna "Banana" Kruchten Hi Anna, I don't remember Cheesecake Factory at the Biltmore. And one of our grandsons was the Housekeeping Manager there for a number of years. I always go for the same one... vanilla bean.

That was a visit to remember, Kathy Streib, such a good time! Godiva chocolate is heavenly.
