We’ll go out on a limb and say this: making a bad cheesecake is harder than making an acceptable cheesecake. So much so that half-baked cheesecakes are sold in supermarkets in the pastry section or even ready-made cheesecakes in the refrigerated dairy section.
But making a very good cheesecake requires a little more hand, a little more technique. And if you’re in the vacation cooking spirit, here we bring you some of the best cheesecakes in Barcelona so all you have to do is sit at the table.
Sugar Pastry
Cakes, cookies, brownies and lots of variety. But as far as cheesecakes are concerned,Sugar Pastry always has between two and three cheesecakes where cheese is the protagonist, such as their goat cheese, camembert or truffled brie cheesecake.
But you can also try some other new inventions like their salted caramel cheesecake or the brownie cheesecake. And if you like yankee style cookies you’re going to love it.
📍 Carrer del Comte d’Urgell, 68
Fismuler
The Fismuler is undoubtedly one of the most impressive we have tested. It is made by mixing three different cheeses: Smoked Idiazabal, Gorgonzola and cream cheese. A show. The portion costs 7 euros on the menu, although it is also included in some of their menus, such as this one.
📍 Carrer Rec Comtal, 17

About the cakes of Jon Cake has already surpassed the limits of the imaginable. Jon, an aeronautical engineer, has gone through the michelin-starred kitchens such as El Celler de Can Roca o La Tasqueria. She now makes these amazing cakes in three different sizes and different flavors.
Jon tells us that they have already used 120 different cheeses to prepare their cakes. It always has five fixed cakes available (the classic is the best seller), one changes every two weeks and two others change daily. Impossible to get bored Jon Cake! Now, by the way, has also opened Jon Cake & Wines a place where you can pair its mythical cakes with the bestwines.
📍 Carrer dels Assaonadors, 29
Silan
This amazing Middle Eastern cuisine restaurant called Silan is one of the great discoveries of the past 2020. Everything is delicious and their dessert was not going to be less. This cheesecake, with a touch of yogurt, honey, nuts, cookie and fruit is round (even if only figuratively). But take advantage of the trip and ask for anything else on his menu, such as this disassembled kebab.
📍 Carrer d’Enric Granados, 38
La Güerita Mexicana
The tart of this Mexican restaurant in Sant Antoni deserves a place on this list for its innovation. There it is prepared by adding sweet corn to the mixture and is accompanied with a tamarind marmalade on the plate. The result is a curious flavor that you would not expect to find in a dessert with this name, and a round creaminess paired with the acidity of the tamarind.
📍 Carrer de Manso, 53
La Fundente
La Fundente is another cake house that we are glad to have in town. The creaminess of its cheesecakes, as creamy in the center as inside, make it one of the houses that must be visited on the route for the best cheesecakes in the city.
📍 Carrer de Mallorca, 371
Funky Bakers
In the Borne, where it seems that all the sweets of the city are concentrated, there is also Funky Bakers, a corner in the Passeig del Borne, near Santa Maria del Mar, where you can try an artisan cheesecake.
Served in an individual (but generous) wooden mold as if straight from the cowshed, the cheesecake in the style of La Viña, one of the great pintxo bars of San Sebastian, one of the motherlands of cheesecake.
