Calling all cheesecake lovers – did you know there is a special day just for cheesecake? National Cheesecake Day falls on July 30 and is all about celebrating this delicious, sweet, creamy, and rich treat.
Cheesecake lovers should keep their eyes peeled and keep their ears open for promotions for local bakeries and stores. Local spots aren't the only ones celebrating this delicious day.
Many chain restaurants are offering specials and discounts for eating cheesecake, like the Cheesecake Factory (arguably one of the best chain restaurants for this sweet treat). At the Cheesecake Factory on July 30, you can get any slice for half off for Cheesecake Rewards members.
