The Cheesecake Factory
If you love cheesecake and live in the city of Chicago, then you must know about the greatness that is The Cheesecake Factory! In this post, I will be talking about how wonderful of a place The Cheesecake Factory is for cheesecake lovers like me!
Since moving into the city in August, I have been to The Cheesecake Factory about three times. Twice I have just ordered cheesecake to go, and once we actually sat down in the restaurant for dinner and dessert. Both experiences were excellent! The Cheesecake Factory offers a wide variety of cheesecake flavors, both traditional and some original! I have tried only two cheesecake flavors so far: the Godiva Chocolate and the key lime cheesecake. They were both so different but so delicious in their own distinct way. I am dying to try more flavors, and look forward to doing so within the next few years of living in the city!
For those of you who may not like cheesecake, don’t worry! The Cheesecake Factory offers other desserts as well as the beloved cheesecake. For example, different types of cakes are always available, specifically a giant chocolate cake with many layers that looks absolutely delicious! In addition to desserts, The Cheesecake Factory is also a wonderful restaurant with a delicious menu. When my friends and I visited for dinner one night, we ordered a salad that was so big it almost fell off the giant plate! My one friend ordered a burger that was bigger than her head! The food was absolutely delicious, and it’s always nice that one can finish off their delicious meal with some gourmet cheesecake! ☺
Not only is the restaurant food and dessert amazing, but so is the atmosphere. The interior of the restaurant is very dim and has a mellow aura. The ceiling and posts almost resemble giant mushrooms, making one feel like they have been transported into a fantasy world. This atmosphere makes the visitors more comfortable, ensuring that they will enjoy their meal and have a visit they are sure to remember!
The Cheesecake Factory is located below the Hancock Center on Michigan Avenue, right next to the Water Tower Place. There is usually always a small wait, so it is recommended that you keep that in mind and plan to do something else while you wait for your table to be ready. It is also a little bit pricey, but when they have food and cheesecake that good, waiting and paying more is definitely worth it. If you have never tried it before, this is one restaurant I’d recommend visiting before your stay in Chicago is over!
