"As with chocolate chip cookies, what makes cheesecake great depends entirely on who you ask. But no matter where you fall on the cheesecake spectrum, Nash Bakes in the Ferry Building does the job. The versions are smooth and creamy while still putting up a fight with your fork. (Be forewarned, though, that crumbly crust loyalists should look elsewhere.) Prioritize the traditional and passionfruit above all others, and skip the lemon poppy and black sesame, which can be a bit dry. If you’re interested in trying a savory cheesecake, there’s always the capers and lox flavor, complete with a bagel crust and smoked salmon on top. It’s fun once for the novelty, but you’re better off eating an actual bagel. One more note: some slices are sold frozen, so we suggest checking with the staff if you plan on digging in immediately on one of the nearby benches. video credit: Patrick Wong" - Patrick Wong
