Frommer's has said, "If cheesecake is your vice, head to The Confectional ... which specializes in individual cheesecakes. Just don't expect me to absolve you of your weight gain." In Cheap Bastard's Guide to Seattle (2013), David Volk wrote, "If you're really lucky, you might be here on a day when someone makes a mistake on a cheesecake that turns into a factory second ripe for sampling. If not, well, you can always try a sip of Colombian drinking chocolate." Chona Kasinger included the Raspberry White Chocolate Cheesecake in a 2016 list of "Seattle's 4 Best White Chocolate Desserts". In 2021, Rebekah Gonzalez said The Confectional was Seattle's best bakery for cheesecake based on Yelp ratings and reviews. See also
