The Cheesecake Corner - Memphis

Found this little gem by accident and so very glad I did. The owner is super pleasant and every cheesecake looked so good, so it was hard to decide which ones I wanted. I ended up choosing the Lemon Pound Cake Cheesecake and the Pineapple Coconut Cheesecake. The Cheesecake Factory has NOTHING on these cheesecakes here at the Cheesecake Corner. That man can make a cheesecake!! I highly recommend stopping in here if you are in Memphis. I know I will most definitely be back. 10/10 hands down!!!

The Cheesecakes are just ok ! But the owner is very rude and unprofessional. The sign says open at 4:00 but he still let certain customers in (perhaps they are friends) but then he started telling everyone else they close til 6:00pm. Some have said he racist to his own kind but I hope that's not true ! It's just sad that businesses are just not the same anymore especially since Covid . But this guy has always rude, and it's okay I'm sticking to The Cheesecake Factory for sure for now on . This isn't the first time something like this has happened while visiting here ...

Lived here my entire life and never knew it was here. Forget Cheesecake Factory. This place is much better by far. Plus it's local which is amazing.

I have heard so much about this place and when I first moved to Memphis (5 years ago) I was told I had to try it because of my enjoyment of cheesecake and my desire to support black owned businesses. Well I woke Saturday with a string desire for cheesecake. First thing that popped in my mind was cheesecake factory but then I remembered the cheesecake corner and decided today would work to give it a try. I arrived around 4:40p only to find a note saying it would open today at 5p..Fine. that didn 't bother me so I waited. 5p rolled around and the line has started forming (which I was warned). Finally at about 5:15p the owner opened the door. I was 3rd in line and excited since it was my first visit. The 1st customer gave his order as the owner was positioning behind the cheesecakes. Next I know the owner is aggressively telling the customer to hold up. Then he says rudely some other stuff. The customer never changed composure and continued with his order. When I reached the counter I asked about the pineapple cheesecake (which i.heard the first customer order). The owner rudely said what are you talking about . What are you saying . I explained again and then he rudely replied that the guy had bought the last one. I got my order and got out of there probably knowing at that point I wouldn 't be back. I got the praline pound cheesecake and a regular slice with strawberry glaze. I didn 't really like the pound one and the regular one was good but not GREAT as I had heard and expected. My immediate thought was that I should have went to cheesecake factory. Even if the dessert had been the best I ever had I highly doubt I would have gone back anyway. I don 't patron places where my isn 't appreciated even if the vendor looks like me. When I came to work and told my coworkers (one who suggested it) of my experience he was not surprised and stated that he told me of the owners poor customer service. It is sad sad sad that this is a know (and accepted) behavior of this place (as other reviews have documented also). I can 't worry about what others choose to do but as for me, i.may decide one day to give him another try but right now I won 't be back!!!

Owner is rude, first time there I thought maybe he had a bad day or whatsoever. I gave his business another chance, same thing. He's rude, definitely NOT welcoming and I just think that's part of his personality. The portions of the cheesecake are way too small to charge $9+. I paid $24 for 2 cheesecakes that weren't the same size at all. I'll just stick to Cheesecake Factory.
