The news revolutionized the sweet-toothed porteños: The Cheesecake Factory lands in Buenos Aires. But before imagining a huge restaurant like those in the United States, it should be clarified that, for now, the brand arrives in a much more limited format: a pop-up in Alto Palermo Shopping Mall from September 2025. Is it war for the pastry shop in Buenos Aires? Buenos Aires has many different types of cheesecake and they all coexist peacefully. Where are the best cheesecakes? In Buenos Aires, of course.
Between ricotta, Basque and New York: The cheesecakes that fearlessly compete with The Cheesecake Factory.
In Buenos Aires, The Cheesecake Factory is not going to open a restaurant, but a pop up shop where it will sell portions of its famous cheesecakes. There are more than 40 varieties of cheesecake, brought directly from the United States.
The question is, can The Cheesecake Factory’s arrival in Buenos Aires put in check the Argentinean pastry tradition? The answer is simple: of course not. Buenos Aires has such a strong and varied pastry identity that it coexists without problems with any international novelty.
In Buenos Aires all kinds of cheesecake and cheesecakes coexist in total harmony because variety is the key to taste: from ricotta to the creamy Basque cake, passing through the Japanese “absorbent cotton” or the purest New York version, there are many places dedicated to give you a unique cheesecake experience and the bakeries of Buenos Aires know very well how to make the cake that is so porteño: the ricotta cake, a cheesecake too, although of a different consistency.
The arrival of the American chain adds variety and curiosity, but does not replace a bakery tradition that in Buenos Aires is part of its DNA.
