I literally love everything they do, but yes, they have cakes and cupcakes, and also ube cheesecake, I think, since you mentioned cheesecake.
The shop itself on Nebel is only open Fri/Sat but some of their stuff is available at Kuya Ja's around the corner-- that's run by the owner's brother.
I'm not a cheescake fan, but love their ube pie, all cakes and cupcakes, brazos, sans rival, and their donuts are SO SO GOOD (but ube and mango etc are better than the Nutella IMO because it's just... Nutella and not as creamy a filling).
I mean, I could go on and on. But if you want something more unique, I'd go for Gwenie's. It also seems like it would be the same or cheaper than the alternatives.
