Welcome to the Darling's Diners and Famous Cheesecakes, City's Best, home of the original Philly cheesecake. We are proud to be the Best of Philly 2006. Darling's professes to be 'home of the original Philly cheesecake,' a cheesecake that's apparently lighter in color and creamier in texture than a NY-style cheesecake. Darling's has about ten homemade cakes to choose from ($5.95 a slice), from the 'classic Philly cheesecake' to white chocolate raspberry, pumpkin, and Grand Marnier. Darling's specialty is Bananas Foster cheesecake, with a topping that tastes like the famed New Orleans dessert. You can also order a whole cheesecake with various toppings in medium and large ($20-$35).

There are other cakes and brownies offered by the slice or as a whole, as well as a variety of teas, lattes, coffee, breakfast bagels, and sandwiches. Lunch sandwiches come on a fresh baguette (Darling's bakes its own), andchoc_cake include classics like roast beef, homemade chicken salad and buffalo chicken. In terms of decor Darling's is quaint and relaxing, from the pink hearts painted on the front door, to the backyard seating, candles on tables and the fine-art photos lining the walls.
“… Arguably the city’s most luscious …” Rick Nichols
“… Killer homemade cheesecakes…” Craig LaBan
