I am, unfortunately, a big fan of cheesecake. I knew that this location was primarily take out, so I placed a pick-up order ahead of time through Yelp. Street parking immediately outside of the bakery is somewhat limited, but if you go further down the street and are willing to walk a block or two, you will find plenty of 2-hour parking, which is more than enough to pick up your goodies and stop by other neighboring businesses if you really felt like it. I ordered three of the minis to try, and they really weren't kidding when they said mini. They're so tiny and cute! They're perfect for those who are trying to be "good," but also want to be a little "bad." Yeah, the price of everything these days has gone up, so one could say that these are a little on the pricier side, but if you figure the labor and production costs, along with the cost of the cute little individual box that each mini comes wrapped in, $4.50 sounds about right. I tried the Mini OG with chocolate on top, the Mini Lemon Cheesecake, and the Mini Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake, and while all were tasty, the Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake is what I'd be going back for, and I'd probably skip the mini and go straight for the 6" version to keep on hand in the fridge. I'm glad I don't live too close to this place. It's definitely a treat.

This is a lovely cafe with tempting cheesecakes and everything you might expect in terms of drinks and small cafe menu. But wait, there's more... the COOKBOOK Collection!!! OMG - so great. This is my new go-to for gifts for friends. They even have a wonderful assortment of cookbooks for children. If the owner is in, ask for a cookbook tour!! Totally worth it :)

Nice cafe, their cheesecake are amazing! It was perfect! I can't wait to purchase again for our next family event! Bought their cinnamon rolls too and they were delicious!

Love having this local cheesecake shop nearby for special occasions! Expensive compared to grocery stores obviously but is so much better. Got the regular, PB, and Oreo and both were delicious

We first fell in love with 7ate9 when I moved to the neighborhood 5 years ago. It quickly became the go-to for all of our coffee and bagel needs. Once I tried Sarah's cheesecake, our family and friends could guarantee we'd bring one to every birthday party, holiday, and get together. So when we were deciding on dessert for our wedding this past October, the choice was simple. 7ate9 delivered an assortment of delicious mini cheesecakes that our guests devoured and still rave about, in addition to our cutting cake. Don't feed your guests a dry, boring wedding cake, have cheesecake!

The cheesecake is meh.. The cheesecake's sweetness somewhat relies on the whip cream which is a meh.. True cheesecake like New York's Junior's Cheesecake, Eileen's cheesecake separate their whip cream on the side not a part of it.

Warm and cozy neighborhood cafe. Very sweet ladies running the place. Bagel was well toasted, good amount of bacon but eggs were a little soggy and bland. Pumpkin muffin is the best muffin i have had! Soft and moist and very flavorful.

Yesterday was my first time visiting this place! It’s small but so cute!I bought a strawberry & pistachio roll and cinnamon roll and both were DELICIOUS! The cinnamon roll was my favorite, so soft, delicate and not super sweet, perfect balance!Added a picture, not the best, but it was so good! ? I’ll be back! ☺️

I really wanted to give a good review for this place but the mini cheesecakes are ridiculously small :/ the service is great but the cakes were smaller in person than they look in pictures
Really fluffy cheesecake, with many different types of flavors. The minis are great - just the right amount for dessert. The books (mostly cookbooks but also prose books about food) on the shelves are really cool. Staff friendly and helpful and well-spirited.

They don't actually serve the sandwiches they advertise apparently.I dislike going somewhere for an item they sell then feeling guilted/punished by the staff for asking. It doesn't make anyone feel nice.

This isn't just any cheesecake. It's so fresh and light and fluffy. The ingredients are obviously top quality and the flavors are so well thought out and delicious. I really recommend stopping by. They also have mini sizes so you can try one without having to commit to a full sized cheesecake. And their breakfast sandwiches are yummy too!

Love their mini cheesecakes just wish they had more flavors available.

Exploring Somerville and tried this one. We got 6 inch classic cheesecake, which is $20. Price is reasonable. It is really tasty. I usually find American bakery too sweet, but this one was right.
