Excellent cheesecake. Problem with sweets in the USA is that they are too sweet. As if the sweeter it is, the better it is. Not the cheesecakes at this location. Have had the chance to try 2 different flavors and they are always just the perfect sweetness and consistency. Sweet enough that is a dessert, but not so sweet that is disgustingly sweet. There are so many flavors to try that even though I've wanted to go in and ask if they have a slice of plain cheesecake, I walk in, see the flavors on the board, and game over. At $7/per slice though, I want to say that is a bit too high, but at the same time, it keeps me from buying too many slices! ?

Always different flavors! Some popular flavors get sold out very very quickly. I love getting two slices, they fit nicely in compact plastic container. If you have any questions about flavors or need a recommendation, just ask. They are very friendly and helpful. I have tried 8 different flavors so far and I loved every single one of them!

This place has amazing cheesecakes. We got the pumpkin Carmel cheesecake and the apple. We liked it so much after wondering the city we came back for 2 more slices. Smaller eclectic store but this is a hidden treasure.

The best cheesecake you’ll ever have! The banoffee was so good my partner and I ate it in basically two bites
Awesome cheesecake and really fun bakers.I'm usually not a specialty cheesecake person but they're all awesome here!

The best. You get what you pay for her. Lynn and Bam do a great job and are very genuine and good people. Oh the cheesecake? Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend Cheesecake Machismo if you're in the Albany area.

Delicious cheesecake, it's popular and in demand, they sell out fast make sure you check the business hours. Worth a trip you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely superb cheesecake shop. With a modern geek-twist.Machismo is right in Albany! What a wonderful idea to allow for a shop completely devoted to all things New York cheesecake. The slices were a delight to eat. This parlor also sells coffee beans, cakes, assorted sweets and other cake/party supplies. The two slices I taste-tested; the 'Jo Brown' + the 'Boysenberry' were thick, sweet and salty alike and very decadent. I do, want to note that the bottom crust on the 'Boysenberry' was very brittle + too crumbly to hold its weight. If the bottom crust is already off the slice, by the time I bring it to my kitchen - there's something wrong. The shaking of the box, should not unlodge a dry crust!Just because the top of the cheesecake slices are very edible and easily instagram-able, does not mean that the crust is the best quality. Try more thickener, more binding agent - or scrap the crust recipe all together and try a different one - or none - that is more suitable for a berry cheesecake slice.Either way, the slice was heaped in gooey boysenberry marmalade-sauce.Definitely a place to think about when you are catering a birthday party or a celebration with sweets for any sort of event. Machismo is a connoisseurs cheesecake shop. Not amateur kids' hour..Inside Machismo, the interior is like a museum geek shop, a tourist attraction and a ComiCon collectors' favorite dream. There are planes hanging from the ceiling, small comic characters peeking around corners and t-shirts for sale.Maps. Comics. Coffee beans. Beanies. Hoodies.Got to give props, where props are due: some folks having the flair to make a collective out of cheesecake and attempting flavors that you do not usually, on an itinerant day for sure, find in your local supermarket. The 'Jo Brown' was a kind of ganache slice that had hints of hazelnut, Oreo cookies and peanut butter; the flavors were well balanced, even enhanced: and not too sweet. It was monster-thick and was best eaten chilled.There is a flavor for anyone at Machismo. Young and old, sweet and salty, offbeat of just regular Cherry - the menu is a kaleidoscope of wonderful flavors offered at unbeatably low prices in a fun atmosphere.The Rebel Chef thinks this spot is legit. Legit New York flavors-only Gangster-Machismo!Delicious.Review: 5+
