I had this cheesecake about a year ago and it was soooooooooo delicious. When they were at the national harbor by the Wyndham Hotel…..now there in the outlets in tanger…..I had it yesterday and took one spoonful and spit it out i was so disappointed but i was looking for them but couldn’t remember the name of the place but i knew what it looked like if i was to see it - I don’t know what happened in a year but I was thoroughly disappointed that I paid at least $21.00 and it definitely was not with it at all …..I paid $10.00 for the round of Oreo and OG!! I could not believe this was the same cheesecake….I didn’t want to waste it so I gave it to my daughters and they didn’t even like it and kids like anything ….so we ended up throwing it away…Needless to say, I will not be back! And I really hate to leave a poor review but ..Watever u guys recipe was before plz and I mean plzzzzz go back to that asap!!!!

I stumbled upon the new location at Tanger Outlet. The Nana pudding cheesecake was recommended. It was good. It's a bit pricey. I'd like to try the pecan cheesecake. In terms of atmosphere, it's like a carryout situation because of the location. The decor was cute.

Ran across this gem walking the strip down from my hotel room at the Gaylord, besides it being a black owned business , also by 2 sisters I love an appreciate the history behind this place which made me wanted to support even more. So after taking about 15 minutes of me trying to decide what I want from the many options I went with the “Sweet P” which is sweet potatoes cheese cake but I got mines topped with pecans. I wish I could give 6 ⭐️, because the taste was like none other , I give it a 20/10 will be back again ..

Cheesecake was so creamy and good! They had gluten free and vegan options. Although the only gluten free option was plain, it was still phenomenal. I just brought it home and added my own toppings!

The sign on the outside that said "world's best cheesecake" had me excited to try this out. I love cheesecake and was so excited that I bought four different flavors. Strawberry, OG, key lime, and Nana puddin. Key lime is my favorite pie, so I tried it first. It tasted like cottage cheese with chemical lime juice on it. Texture was super strange. Next up was strawberry, which tasted nothing like strawberry. Third was the banana pudding, which was ok, but had an off texture like the other two. The "best" of the four was the OG. Its flavor wasn't particularly offensive, but was not as good as 95% of all other cheesecakes I've had in my whole life.Not to mention the complete lack of personality, helpfulness, and overall human understanding from the gal at the cash register.I wanted to like it so much here, but the texture, lack of flavor, and super high price of each of the four cheesecakes that I tried prevented me from enjoying it at all. We won't be back.

After seeing the reviews while we were at the Gaylord, I decided to stop by here for cheesecake. I had the banana pudding cheesecake and it was the worst cheesecake I've ever had. Hands-down the worst cheesecake. I took two bites and threw it out.

I haven't heard of Furlough Cheesecake before. It wasn't until my fellow sister wanted some cheesecake at 7:30pm we were smitten to know Furlough was within walking distance from our stay at the AC Hotel. We walked there and to my surprise I focused in on banana pudding cheesecake. I was so excited and had my mouth salivating for some of that banana taste. Only to be told there wasn't any more left. None in the back and none set to the side for the morning. I was devastated. Looking for another flavor to satisfy my taste buds I choose Chocolate Affair, Sweet Potato, Cookies and Dream and Key Lime with Peaches and Mango. Since it was my besties birthday we obtained a discount on top of the special buy 3 get 1 50% off. The Chocolate Affair cake was wonderful!!!! To me it could've had a bit more chocolate flavor but all and all it was the best cake. Next was the Cookies Dream. This cake was sweet but it didn't remind me I was eating cookies and crème. I feel like it would've made more of a impactful punch had the cake had a crumbled cookie bottom crust and or with some cookie crumbles on top. The Sweet Potato cake to me was most resembled Sweet Potato Pie. It was a bit too sweet for me. It was as if the added sugar and the sweetness of the potatoes was a bit too much. Please don't misunderstand me, the cakes were very delicious but I don't consume sugar normally. I always eat desserts either sugar free, natural sugar or no sugar added desserts. I've been eating like this for some time, therefore I can taste added sugar in almost everything I eat. Lastly it was my besties 50th birthday, she ate the Key lime with Peaches and Mango cheesecake. I haven't any reviews on that cake. I honestly recommend eating these cake and I will be going back and consuming more cake especially the Banana Pudding Cheesecake-when it's available.

I took my son and his girlfriend on October 27th and 28th 2023 for dessert. They had too many options but because I’m a nut lover I picked Nana Pecan Pudding both times.. I wished they had one in AZ.. I would HIGHLY

Dry lackluster customer service like desert dry! This was my first time and there appeared to be several options. I tried the strawberry affair cheesecake and it was just ok. For $13 the portion felt a bit small and doesn't compare to Cheesecake Factory.

I was excited to try this place as they offered a vegan option. Also the fact it was created during covid I wanted to support them even more. I commend them for having this business up and still running. The only feedback I would give is being a huge fan of cheesecake is that like many other it’s more tangy than what the flavor should be. I got cookies and cream and it tasted more like a lemonade than cookies and cream.
