I saw the last post about the incredible basque cheesecake at Amande and made the trip up from Ukranian Village and I gotta tell you: believe the hype. I have never had a cheesecake this delicious and balanced. To make the most of my trip I got the vanilla/classic, ube, and caramel. I also picked a gorgeous little passionfruit panna cotta and DAMN. The dude behind the counter who is at least part owner was so kind and excited for me to try his wares. The hot tip he gave me is if you order a full cheesecake ahead of time, you get a $10 discount.
If I had to choose between the cheesecakes, I'd say vanilla and ube were the standout. Caramel was great but honestly the extra caramel interfered with me appreciating that perfect perfect cheesecake ha! And the panna cotta is definitely going to be on repeat.
