Just moved to the area from NH (wish I had found this forum earlier) I need to bring desert to a dinner party. Looking for someplace that makes good Cheesecakes/ pastry dishes.
I know I can do the Cheesecake factory by I prefer to keep that mass produced frozen and shipped stuff as a last resort. Trying to support the local business.

I have used blue moon bakery (http://www.bluemoonbakery.com) in cary (downtown cary) and they are quite good. I have ordered the cakes but also eaten the pastries in the shop...........both are very good.

Lots of good choices... don't know for 100% sure about cheesecakes, but any of these would be hits at parties for desserts, cakes, baked goods--

Rue Cler (limited dessert items, but great baked goods)
Not that you could get this take-out, but Magnolia Grill in Durham features a James Beard-award winning pastry chef... mmmm!
Blue Moon is very good for the most part, We ordered our wedding cake from Blue Moon and it was FANTASTIC. We had rave reviews on that cake and I swore I would order everything from there from then on! But I also ordered my daughter's birthday cake from there this year and it was pretty average. No better than a grocery store cake and 3x's the price. I've never had their cheesecake, but I'll happily skip up there tomorrow for a sample if you'd like! It's walking distance from my house and I pass by there every day!

That would be great Lamishra, I can still cancel the order if you find it's not up to snuff. I prefer a New York style cheescake that is rich and thick (I hate when shops use water instead of milk as a filler when mixing).
Alimentari is a short drive for you, right off the 540, on Capital Blvd in Plantation Square. The sign says "DELI", but they have unbelievable desserts. I hear they also cater, and do special cakes by request.
