So after Stalking this place on Facebook for a year I FINALLY got out of my bubble and tried them....The Sea Salt Mocha did not disappoint. It was pretty nostalgic, I felt like I was stepping into my grandma's kitchen eating a piece of fresh chilled flan with homemade caramel sauce with a little cafecito on the side. To my surprise the mocha was not overbearing at all which makes it so great. Since a girl can never make up her mind I had to try a few others.....Banana Pudding is on point none of that fake banana flavoring stuff....This is the real deal, fresh bananas and I mean fresh bananas when I say fresh bananas, not the kind you forget about that people tell you to make banana bread with....those belong in the trash not in baked goods...They got this one right with the taste of perfectly ripened bananas! Oh & let's not Foget the test kitchen "The Millional" I mean "Bae" same thing, right? I really enjoyed this one it was not overpowering with flavor or sugar....The orange zest and cinnamon pecans? were amazing But I may be bias because I am a little nutty! I love how light it was yet you can distinctly taste the flavor. So Don't be basic order you something different or you can be like everyone else and order the Turtle. Either way you won't be disappointed especially when Will deliveres exceptional customer service but it helps that I was an exceptional custmerI'm no food critic but go get you some cheescake, stat at the shack!

I was so excited to try this place, and had really high hopes. My mom ordered the Bae Bae, then later they said they were out of whipped cream, which wasn’t a big deal. I was really looking forward to trying the banana pudding, but they were out of bananas. The other one I wanted to try, Nutella, wasn’t available. So, I asked for the most popular one which was the strawberry. I was so excited that I dug in as soon as I got my order to my car. We were a little surprised when we opened the bag and saw how small these 8 dollar slices were. Then, when I tried to get a piece with my fork, it was hard to slice through. Once I tasted it, I realized why. It was still partially frozen like it was recently pulled out of the freezer. The staff was friendly, and the cheesecake wasn’t bad once it warmed up a bit. I fully intend to give this business another chance. I think we could have just come at a bad time. Or maybe we should go to the shop instead of the shack next time.

WOW, JUST WOW! ... best place in town to eat cheesecake’s PERIOD! ... it’s a bit of a drive for me coming from Denton but WELL worth it! My favorite is the raspberry slice but they have scrumptious flavors all around- I will say it’s a bit pricey but when it comes to GOOD eating, there is no price too high on that. They are awesome, very friendly & very respectful of this whole Pandemic situation we are all going through by keeping it safe all around so I will continue supporting this business and making that drive! it only makes the anticipation that much sweeter ... Don’t believe me, look below .. I mean, c’mon IF WORDS COULD TALK! P.S. they even GAVE me some free choco style tacos - if you know what those are you know what one talking about!!

My Husband and I were in the mood for something sweet while we were downtown and I searched! We did a u turn when I saw the pictures of the cheesecake! I spotted the cute store front and they were so pleasant when we went in with a MILLION QUESTIONS! He ordered the It's Brittany Peach and I ordered the Bae! Everything sounded wonderful and it took a while for me to narrow my choice down! I was not disappointed and have been back 2 more times for the exact same! So Yummy! We actually saw Val on one of our visits and for someone who makes cheesecake like that to be so friendly ‼️ I would be like yeah I did that You must go get a slice of HEAVEN!

This is the best cheesecake I've ever had. Better than my mom's famous New York cheesecake, but let's not tell her that. A tiny stand alone, its hard to see. Pictured is the classic cheesecake with blueberry topping. The strawberry is also very good as well. What kills me here are these damn jars they sell. They are literally only $1 cheaper and are half the size of a slice (which is already pricey). What kills me even more is that all their best cheesecakes (lemmon ave!!!) are only ever in these stupid jars. They need to get it together and put their best cakes as slices. But anywho. This place is great. Try it.

Wow. If you’re looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth craving.. THIS IS IT. I thought this place looked cute so I stopped by and wasn’t disappointed. The turtle cheesecake was — a m a z i n g . Grab this one for sure when you go. All the chocolatey syrups with the textures of the cheesecake made sense as to why I spent $8/slice. The Oreo one was so thick and so delicious. The cheesecake jars are good too but I like the full slice experience. You can’t go wrong with anything here! Pick whatever because you will be returning!

This is my new favorite dessert spot in DFW. The cheesecakes are fresh and taste amazing. We tried the lovers lane (red velvet) and the bae cheesecake. Both were delicacies and overall melted in your mouth. The candied walnuts were probably the best topping I've had in cheesecakes. Also, they're contactless which is huge during the current situation. You order over the phone! I brought the cheesecakes home and everyone loved it! Check out the pictures!

Man looka here.This little building is producing some good cheesecakes. They have all kinds of Cheesecake. They have some flavors in a small jar that is good to take the sweet taste out yo mouth after eating too much. I liked the full slices. They are a little pricey but no means cheap in ingredients or taste. I ended up with two slices because I went there to get a strawberry cheesecake but I watched her make the turtle cheesecake. So I got one of those also. Both did not make it to the next day. Go by for a slice (or two).

The cheesecake was good, a lil crumbly not as smoothly whipped as I hoped but good. It was however very expensive in my opinion and the portion size was not an $8.00 slice of cheesecake, again in my opinion. Only slices are available unless you order in advance for a full size cheesecake. Not sure what their prices are on a full size but if you want to treat a family to a slice of cheesecake you may consider planning ahead. If a family of 5 goes for a sliver of cheesecake it will cost you $48.00 just for dessert....

Best cheesecake in the Dallas area! One of my friends recommended and I finally got to try it today. It was very fresh and the topping high quality than I thought for only 75 cents. All the cheesecake and banana pudding is 7 dollars. I ordered cheesecake with blueberry topping. It was very soft and not too sweet and the right amount. I shared with my boyfriend and he also really liked it. It was located on the road and looks like a small container business but their Instagram was famous already! Great business :)

Had an opportunity to try out Val's and just fell in love with VJB & his staff. I purchased three flavors red velvet, lemmon ave & strawberry classic. My husband loved the strawberry and said, it was the freshest he's ever had in a long time. The lemmon was my favorite as it's a light treat on a hot summer day and coming up in the rear the red velvet made me think of christmas time at my mom's. I will be a returning customer and my co workers can't wait to try the brisket cheesecake real soon.

Called in for an order, prior to their opening time, and left voicemail. One hour bf opening, I received a call back. I had lots of questions and special requests for a delivery of ten jars. The gentleman who helped me was SO NICE, HELPFUL and PATIENT. I asked his name because I wanted to write this review and it was Val himself! My clients reported the cheesecakes were out of this world and so life is good! Keep up the great work, Val's Cheesecakes and thank you for a wonderful experience!

I LOVE THE CHEESECAKES. THE GREENVILLE LOCATION CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GREAT, THE AKARD LOCATION CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE, NOT GREETED, FELT RUSHED AND SHE JUST WASN’T PLEASANT! THIS IS MY SECOND INTERACTION WITH THIS YOUNG LADY AND SHE GAVE THE SAME “NOT INTERESTED” ATTITUDE EACH TIME

Strawberry, Banana Pudding Cheesecake

Val's is an incredible place to go. He will soon be opening another store on Greenville Ave which is really close to me and I can't wait. He's cheesecake is so good, so many varieties and hard to buy just one. But above all Val and the people who work for him, are so nice and love what they do. They are happy to be doing what their doing and smile from their hearts. Can't wait till November 9 when his store on Greenville Ave opens and I'll be there daily.

Great place!! Hey I had a lot of fun in the cheesecake class. I shared with my family at Sunday dinner today, and they were fighting over every piece!! There was a slice on a plate on the table and the adults were mad about who wasted the cheesecake, then before you knew it, it was gone too. I will always visit when I come to Dallas!!

After driving past Val's daily for a year I had to stop and see what this cheesecake shop had to offer. Let me tell you it did not disappointed. For 6$ you can get a mini cheesecake in the cutest little mason jars (that you get to keep) and for 1$ more you get a slice double the size. I'm sure you can guess that I had to splurge and get the big one. It was heavenly. I will definitely be back! And I recommend the Oreo Cheesecakes of good!

This review is based on the cheesecake class- Sooo much fun! Val, thank you for putting these classes together. I came as a single. As most people came in pairs. The class was fun, knowledgeable. We made a legit cheesecake from scratch. Definitely worth 100$. Everyone receives a 9" cheesecake to take home. I got banana! The staff was nice. I would definitely recommend.

Let me start by saying... well, I really do not like cheesecake. Truly, I don't. My wife and our friends wanted to go there after our lunch date. I am so glad I was not my normal stubborn self. I love carrot cake and they had a carrot cake cheese cake! OMG... they first bite was too much, and the last bite wasn't enough! This is authentic from scratch cheese cake. Not going to try this cheese cake will be a personal loss!

Tried 3 different small size Cheesecake in mason jar. All 3 flavors were good in taste+texture & sweet just enough to fill up your sweet craving(which is best). Girl on counter explained all flavors well. Felt its bit pricey ($6.49 ea+ little jar is yours). Just an opinion if you have policy to except the jars back on next customer visit & offer some discount price on next purchase to loyal buyers .

TINY-VERY OVERPRICED. It's so tiny that she can't put hardly any toppings on it because the jar opening is about the size of 2 quarters. It's to small to enjoy. By the time you start enjoying it, it is gone. On top of it she prices this tiny thing as if you're eating at Pappadeaux's. Almost $8!!! Definitely a fail for me, and I will not be returning. I wish I knew this before coming.

The strawberry cheesecake is creamy with a thick crust. I strongly recommend this place. There is only street parking to access the store, so you may have to walk a bit. The area does have some homeless people, so be cautious if you are alone (ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT). The area was safe during my visit in the day, and I did not encounter any issues. Quality flavor and customer service!

Friendly owner/staff and great tasting cheesecake in a little mason jar! For $6 it's on the steep side but it's such a treat to have Val's cheesecake. Our favorites are Salted Mocha and Oreo - not too sweet and packed with flavors! We've tried Blueberry, Lemon, Red Velvet, and Strawberry - to be honest they are all very delicious. Highly recommend - they are addictive :)

Absolutely Awesome And Nothing Less My Boyfriend and I came on his Birthday. when we got there, reading the menu we became indecisive on which Flavors to choose because they all seemed so good. But let me tell you, the 3 Flavors we had as my boyfriend said were creme de la creme. We will be back....(Classic Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Turtle)

Some of the absolute best cheesecake both my wife and I have ever had! My only regret is we ate it so quickly that we didn’t take any photos to post here lol. We had the original and the red velvet. We will be back! They had a cooking class going on when we came in and it looked like everyone was having lots of fun. We’ll probably be back to take a class.

I pulled up 1 minuet before closing after going to the Mavericks game. I was beyond delighted that I was greeted as if I was the first customer of the day.I order 5 jars to share with the fam! I am more than overjoyed with the flavors I picked. Again I am impressed with the quality of service and professionalism that is always delivered!

First off the cheesecakes are average at best. The ones in the jars are just a rip off. Very small and the jar is just an annoyance. Second, the place is a rat hole in a goofy location. It's just a walk up shack. Save yourself the trouble and buy a Sara Lee at your local grocery store. It will be better in taste and value.

I have been going to Val’s Cheesecakes since I moved to Dallas 4 years ago. They cater to everything and anything your tastebuds might want. They have opened up 2 more locations which just allows everyone else to be able to have some of this wonderful desert. Follow them on Instagram to see their specials and new flavors.

Hidden gem! Simply delicious cheesecakes with a wide variety of flavors. Great for picking up! Prices are a little too steep for the individual pieces but you get to keep the amazing jar it's stored in. Specific parking for Val's is limited. Great unique desserts & the owner (Val) was fun & accommodating!

One of the biggest hidden jewels in the Oak Lawn area. Everytime me and my wife have went to Val's cheesecake we have been surprised with each offering. This time is my birthday and she got me a lemon cheesecake which we we're over halfway through the cheesecake before I thought to do this picture lol.

I like this place because it's fast and they have lots of different varieties. They also have whole slices of cheese cake as well. To be honest $6 is too much to pay for a small jar of cheesecake but that's just it ... where else are you going to find a jar of cheesecake? It's delicious !! Try it out

Worth every penny. The Nutella cheesecake will blow you away. They make their own Nutella with a hazelnut liqueur that is to die for. I love how everything is named after places in Dallas too! Super friendly staff and they're always ready to make recommendations! I just wish they were open later!

Window serve with some small outside seating or standing to eat a piece of cheesecake. The people are very nice and surprisingly for myself who's not a fan of cheesecake, the "BAE" that I ordered was very good. If you like cheesecakes it is worth a stop. See my picture for the available flavors.

The place is not a sit in setting. The cheesecake was very DELICIOUS! I went close to closing time, so most of the slices were gone. I ended up getting the jar. I will definitely be back and I would recommend this place. FYI-If you are driving and have a heavy foot, you could pass up the place.

The cheesecakes are fresh, with many yummy flavors to choose from. Go simple and classic with plain or strawberry, or treat yo'self with the Baebae! (Salted chocolate ganache, caramel, vanilla pudding, candied pecans and whipped cream!). Fun, vibrant space, and plenty unique snacks!

I can't say enough good things about this cheesecake shack! They have so many varieties and every single one we have tried has been great. We usually grab a slice or two to take home although there is a small seating area. You'll see cars double parked out front. It's fun and yummy!

The best cheesecake I have ever tasted. My favorite is the Lemmon Avenue cheesecake. They are a little expensive, but this is a small local business. I am happy support this business with the hope they will grow and become a staple of Dallas. Val's Cheesecakes will not disappoint!

Some of the best Cheesecake I’ve ever had honestly. I placed an order online for a 7 in Lovers Cheesecake and it tasted so fresh. We finished it in a day ordering was easy and picking it up was even easier. 10/10 i would recommend! Will definitely be going back soon. …

Love the cheesecake here and buy it often but the young lady working the window right now 01/19/2020 at 3:15PM was the rudest and nastiest person I’ve ever encountered here! If you don’t like you workplace sugar then please exit the building. Time for a new front face Vals!

The cheesecake class was fun and I learned alot! Never a dull moment .

Banana Cheesecake, Banana Pudding Cheesecake

I took a cheesecake class! It was SO MUCH FUN! Great outing for a group of friends or by yourself. I went solo and learned a lot and met nice people. Val was incredibly entertaining and kept the class busy the entire time. Fun way to spend a hot Saturday afternoon.

This place was absolutely amazing!! The Quality of the cheesecake was superb!! Me and friends enjoyed the wonderful flavors of Greenville Avenue, White chocolate Oreo, Turtle & Pistachio. I enjoyed the outside location I would highly recommend this establishment.

I wasn’t happy at all I feel like it is very overpriced small portions it wasn’t good at all very low-quality cheesecake I was so disappointed I got the red velvet cheesecake and The Oreo cheesecake wasn’t impressed at all I will not be going back there

The Banana Pudding Cheesecake is FANTASTIC!! I ordered the small amount in the adorable Mason jars (trying to watch my sugar intake)! The flavor of the cheesecake was AMAZING! I can't wait to come back to Dallas...this will be one of my first stops!!

We visited this place based on a news report. The owner spoke of supporting Black owned businesses. Here's my reiew: Over priced, small quantity, low quality and poor service. I advice anyone- Stay away! I will aways buy from the Cheese Cake Factory!

Looooooovvvvvveeeeeee this place this was my very first time here and the little lady name Erica was sooooo nice and giving off we all family vibes. Erica gave my some background on the restaurant and I was sold sold I will be back thank you so much

My husband and I went to try and, now we loved it! The staff is so kind and professional Also, the selection of flavors is definitely the best. I read the story and, now understand what the special ingredient is ❤️. 100 STARS …

I'm pretty sure what little faith in humanity I have is hinged on the people who make the banana pudding cheesecake. 2020 may be a dumpster fire, but that cheesecake let's you pretend for just a moment that everything isn't terrible forever.

I'm from GA and I'm at Dallas for business as well as my partner. We're HIGE foodies and BOY LEMME TELL YOU. We got the strawberry glaze cheesecake & a cookies'n cream one as well. So light, creamy, and soo delicious. Highly recommend 10/10

Hands down, this is my fave cheesecake spot! Staff is always super friendly and quick. They have safety precautions to order, pay, and get your order without contact. Cheesecakes are plain to classic to specialty ones- all super delish!

Highly Recommended! We ordered a custom cheesecake from Val’s, and although it was a bit pricy, the quality of ingredients used, the flavor, and the attention to design detail made it worth it. I would definitely order from here again.

What can I say. Y’all have it down to an art form. I love cheesecake and this is better than anything I have ever tried. Customer service is top notch you are treated very respectful. Good job. Parking can be tricky but it’s worth it.

Honestly the cutest little cheesecake ever! They're tasty little things. If someone ever asked where to get a cheesecake nearby, I'd recommend this place. The names of the flavors are clever and are cute. They're cute little desserts.

Delicious! They have a number of different flavors and I've yet to be disappointed by any. That said, I haven't been brave enough to try the savory options. Any time someone visits us in Dallas, we make a point to let them try Val's.

Hands down best cheesecake in Dallas! I’m addicted at this point & I’m ok with that. The banana pudding is my go to but the new oatmeal pie cheesecake has also caught my attention. You can’t go wrong with any of the flavors!

I would have to say the best cheesecake if ever had!! Amazing customer service the moment you get there... And the idea of the cheesecake in a jar is so cute..I would recommend this to anyone in the area!! Its a must have!

Really cool place. Loved the simplicity of the little hut. My only recommendation is that on the cookies and cream jar, I wish the cookie crumbles were at the bottom, it was kind hard to keep it off of my white shirt! :)

Best cheesecake I have ever had I love it so much. I get the cookies n cream and it tastes so good every time. Good service. And very organized. I definitely recommend going here 10/10 I have had an amazing experience

Best Cheesecake Ever. Got Classic with strawberry on the side Turtle chocolate and carrot cake. But Classic is the BEST!! $8 per slice and i went again the next day to get three more classics! I highly recommend!!!!

Best cheesecake hands down! I tried “Bae” and raspberry and my only regret was not buying more. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner and he’s such a sweetheart, their secret ingredient is definitely love! ❤️

My husband and I discovered this gem after watching Self Employed on Magnolia. To think, this has been in our backyard this entire time! We both loved our cheesecake jars and will be back to try more flavors.

Love getting cheesecakes here! Their original cheesecake with homemade fruit topping is the best. Our favorite is blueberry cheesecake. I wish they are like a dessert store where we can also sit and eat.

$8 for cheesecake is a lot, but I will pay $8 for the rest of my life because this cheesecake is EVERYTHING. The triple chocolate is my favorite and I highly recommend. I will be back again and again.

I attended a cheesecake class and it was AMAZING! Val is super fun and made the class entertaining. He made sure everyone felt included and was having fun. It was a great way to spend my Sunday!!

Price is high but worth it every bite. Love the little jars. Great cheese cake big fan of those place now. Would recommend highly. And if you have a special someone well this is the perfect gift.

Im almost afraid to rate them, then everyone will know my go to place for cheesecake. Val really knows what he's doing. I'm from New York, home of the cheesecake and val's has them all beat.

Absolutely LOVED taking the class learning how to make Cheesecake! But, not as much as helping Val to support Genesis Women's Shelter! The class was epic, and the atmosphere was phenomenal!

The cheesecakes here are delicious and come in adorable glass jars! The prices are very reasonable, and the downtown location is conveniently central. The brisket cheesecake is to DIE for!

Little shack on the side of the road, probably passed this place 100x times. Thank god a friend recommended this place. Hands down the best cheesecake I have ever had. Perfect portions too

Very delicious cheesecake! The building is a small mom and pop store but very easy to order. The cheesecake came in a jar which was nicely designed. Definitely coming back here again!

Sooo amazing. If you love Cheesecake you owe it to yourself to go by Val's. Have been supporting him since these were coming out of the church kitchen. Nutella Cheesecake mmmmmmmm

They were running out of the flavors we wanted at the end of the night (Nutella & Cookies & Cream) but our back up options (Strawberry & Raspberry) did not disappoint. Flavorful!

Absolutely delicious. Ran into this place while on a walk with my boyfriend. Lots of variety. I got the banana and it is significantly better than Cheesecake Factory banana!!!

My wife thought it was the best cheesecake she had ever tasted. I thought it was the most expensive and overpriced cheesecake I had ever paid for. We were both probably right.

100/5 for the flavor, but what’s up with the size portion??? I paid the same $8.50 for a tiny sliver of cake, it’s so small compared to the other slices, I felt scammed.

SO good, just moved to downtown Dallas and this place is dangerously close to my apartment. I will be back. I tried the "Bae" and "Cookies and Creme." Both were amazing!

Live Val's cheesecakes, they are creamy and rich! If you don't want full slices you can try out a variety in the jars! They are creamy and rich i just love them!

Val's Cheesecakes gives a unique look and quick fix to eating cheesecake. So far my favorite is the triple chocolate. Check them out! You'll love every bite.

Delicious and quaint little window spot next to Grapevine bar with an awesome selection and chill atmosphere. Where did this place come from?! Glad it’s here

Really good cheesecakes. You can get them in a slice or in a jar. The prices are not too bad. There are also several flavors to choose from. You should try

Was a great find. We had turtle & lemon. Both delicious but turtle was our favorite. We got the tiny jars. Next time we will order a large one for a party.

Best cheesecakes ever! They are truly appreciative of their customers. They will go out of their way to make you feel special. I would rate it 10 stars!

Awesome cheesecake, great options. I love that it's a walk up stand. The jar kinda small for the price, but the slice is great! I would come back here.

This place was overhyped. The cheesecakes were subpar. They were either ok basic cheesecake you could get anywhere or just awful. Really disappointing

Each one of their flavors are delicious and most of all you get to keep the cute mason jar. Definitely a must try if you love cheesecake. …

Yum Yum Yummm Yum Yummy!! Tonight we tried the chocolate turtle cheesecake and the vanilla cheesecake with raspberry compote~ absolutely Delicious.

Amazing. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly. I had the red velvet cheesecake, and it was delicious. Definitely going to be a regular stop.

cute space, rude service and not that great cheesecake for the price. Will try again next time we are in town and hopefully hit at a better time.

Great cheesecake flavors... FYI... do not serve with your bare hands or with a very dirty apron... cleanliness is next to Godliness... …

This location had cheesecake in a little jar. It was delicious but for a sweets lover I wanted more ugh please serve the full slices asap!

I'm not even a cheesecake fan but Val's is definitely a Dallas institution. Having window ready dessert to go is always a win in my book.

I love Val’s the cheesecakes are delightful it is a bit pricey for the jars for such a small portion. But the slices are to die for. ❤️

Average tasting cheesecake, but the mason jar idea is pretty cute. A bit pricy for a small portion, but enough to satisfy the craving.

So delicious! I have been wanting to try these cheesecakes forever and it didn't disappoint. Also Val was super friendly and helpful!

I went on a Saturday evening. The guy taking our orders was very nice and the cheesecake was delicious. I got several flavors.

Hands down one of the best dessert spots to check out. Variety of cakes with creative names to compliment their savory taste!

Ordered the turtle cup. Very creamy texture that is not overly sweet. The toppings were a good complement to the cheesecake.

Absolutely delicious!! The savory cheesecakes are so inventive and tasty! The owner and staff are wonderful as well. :)

I got a slice of the OG cheesecake with the Strawberry topping and it was just okay .. for $8 i expected a better taste

Best cheesecakes ever! Friendly employees and owner. Their banana pudding and nutella cheesecakes are my two favorites

Ultra rich delicate flavors. It's a bit pricey but well worth the cost. A must try if you are craving something sweet!
