Holy Bee's Bakery Like List
A far cry from the sugary wedges you might ordinarily picture when you think of cheesecake, Basque burnt cheesecake is inspired by the Spanish tarta de queso and offers a more sophisticated flavor profile, with a slightly bitter, burnished crust and a soft, creamy, jiggly interior merging for a crème brûlée-like effect. This Belltown bakeshop owned by a couple sells the specialty by the slice or as six-inch or eight-inch cakes and offers flavors like chocolate, green tea, and ube in addition to the original.

Hood Famous Cafe and Bar Like List
You can't talk about cheesecake in Seattle without talking about Chera Amlag and Geo Quibuyen's Filipinx-inspired bakeshop, which made a name for itself in its pop-up days with its signature brilliant purple ube cheesecake with a coconut butter crust. But don't sleep on the other, less well-known flavors, such as white chocolate guava, Vietnamese coffee, and coconut pandan.

Modern Japanese Cuisine & Desserts Like List
Past Stranger contributor Naomi Tomky has written, "While the udon soup makes for a lovely lunch and the sushi is fresh and serviceable (particularly lovely when eaten on the tables of the hidden back patio—which, both covered and heated, is lovely year-round), what lifts this from neighborhood café to citywide destination are the pastries. Japanese pastry chef Setsuko Tanaka turns out an assortment of delectables every day, each one a masterpiece, both visually and in flavor." The selection currently includes baked cheesecakes and Japanese-style no-boke matcha cheesecake.
