This was my first time visiting this location, although we’ve dined next door several times and noticed they weren’t open yet back then. I’m glad we finally stopped by! We tried the strawberry crunch cheesecake, the original cheesecake, and the matcha cheesecake, and all three were very delicious. The flavors were great and you can tell they put care into their desserts.
My only small suggestion would be that the portion size could be a little bigger for the container it comes in. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The customer service from Leketia was great—she was friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be a returning customer!

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Just Cheesecake Outlet, owned by two veterans, is bringing a taste of New York to El Paso. Just Cheesecake Outlet, owned by Carlos and Elaine, specializes in a variety of homemade cheesecakes made with real and fresh ingredients.
The location in Downtown El Paso has been around for two years, and the Zaragoza location was opened last August.
Just Cheesecake Outlet Manager Kenneth Wilder says the Downtown location did so well that the owners decided to open up a second location on the Eastside. Wilder says they also have separate location, where they focus on just baking, so that they can keep up with the demand.
“The holidays were amazing here, so we wanted to make sure we were able to keep up with the demand,” Wilder said. Their menu features delicious options such as New York-style cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries, an Oreo cheesecake, tres leches cheesecake, and my favorite, the strawberry crunch cheesecake, which is inspired by strawberry crunch ice cream!
“They’re light and airy, and they don’t weigh you down, so after a meal it’s like the perfect piece of cheesecake, and she (Elaine) gets real creative. Like the holidays we had eggnog and we had peppermint with snickerdoodle crust and for Valentine’s Day we’re going to have red velvet and then in the summer we have lemon citrus made with fresh lemon zest and lime zest and juice its amazing, and she crafts them all on her own, by hand,” Wilder said.
The cheesecakes are sold whole or by the slice, and when buying a whole cheesecake, you can customize it with up to four flavors, Wilder said. The spot also offers a sugar-free cheesecake, sweetened with agave and paired with a gluten-free crust. “Everybody has been asking about a dairy free cheesecake, we haven’t gotten that yet,” Wilder said.
Wilder also adds that customers are treated like family and that they go the extra mile for them.
“So coming into here, is like coming into our home,” Wilder said.
The business also features a variety of tasty macarons, tiramisu, chocolate cheesecake brownies, cheesecake sopapillas, cookies and more. The interior of the Zaragoza location is designed with a simplistic and clean decor that lets the cheesecake speak for itself.
Just Cheesecake Outlet is located at 404 Arizona Ave. Ste. 2 in Downtown El Paso and 1793 N. Zaragoza Ste. A in East El Paso.
The Downtown location is open from 11 a.m. through 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 11 a.m. through 4 p.m. on Saturday.
The Eastside location is open from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 11 a.m. through 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Both locations are closed on Sunday.

Sweet News! Just Cheesecake Outlet opens second location in El Paso! With a two-year milestone, the Just Cheesecake Outlet has branched out with a second location, now in El Paso's East Side.
The original Just Cheesecake Outlet opened in 2023 at the Eat Up Market at 404 Arizona Ave. in Downtown El Paso.
At the time, owner Brian Harris said the dessert shop was an exciting opportunity to meet the need for a cheesecake factory in El Paso. Harris had previous restaurant experience as owner of two Chi-town Barbecue places and his wife Cynthia is the pastry chef, responsible for all of the creamy desserts.

I had such an amazing experience here! From the moment I walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. They made me feel valued as a customer and took the time to answer all my questions and give great recommendations. The cheesecake itself was absolutely incredible. You can really tell everything is made with quality ingredients and care. The texture was perfectly smooth and creamy, and the flavor was rich without being overly sweet. Every bite tasted fresh and delicious. Honestly, the best cheesecake I’ve ever had.

It was our first time coming here! I’m a biiiig cheesecake fan, as soon as we walked in the atmosphere was amazing, everyone was so kind and it was an automatic greet. They explained the whole process & offered us samples (delicious)! We were the only ones in there and people started flowing in, same exact treatment for every single person! Not only was the cheesecake delicious- we had an apple & tres leches one (better than cheesecake factory) but just having kind & welcoming employees makes it better! Recommend for everyone to come in❤️
