So, unless you like extra chocolate sprinkles on your strawberry cheese cake I would steer clear...

WOW. THANK YOU.
THEY DO HAVE A FROZEN APPLE CHEESE CAKE. NO MICE (RATS) CAN SURVIVE THE FREEZER. THE OLD DAYS ARE GONE FOREVER.
DON'T GET ANYTHING WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS ON IT., COULD B DROPPINGS.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND. (WITHOUT JUNIORS).

the Juniors' in Times Square (between 44th & 45th street) sells cheesecake that is probably rodent-free. _________________ I've used sarcasm before. It makes me feel really smart.

Time Square and "rodent free" should probably never be anywhere near each other in a sentence.

If you think apartments here in Brooklyn are rodent & vermin free think again. For every mouse you spot, there are ten or twenty more unseen, for a roach a hundred to a thousand or more are in the walls. So why should an eatery be any different? Yeah that's right. There's one right behind you now! You want a roach free place, get a Gecko. You want a mouse free place get a cat. But you can't have both. That cat will hunt down that gecko. . . BTW do you know about the centipedes???

but then, I don't like chocolate on my cheesecake, so I'm cool
anybody that doesn't want mice near their fud ever should probably not eat out ever

Ewwwwww!
One of the wisest moves I ever made in my life was to take up cooking. Now, while others complain of uncleanliness in restaurants, I'm happy to enjoying home cooked meals without the extra ''seasoning'' you get in places like that. _________________ Brooklyn Is God's Country!

Junior's is very overrated as their restaurant fare is mediocre at best, the staff is not very friendly, and even outright surly at times, and I never thought the cheesecake was anything special. I think its only claim to fame is that its been around for awhile and it stays open late on weekends. Marty Markowitz is always bragging about the cheesecake but I doubt he's eaten it, or there, in a very long time.

No, the owners are from Sri Lanka. Before that, I think it was Italian owned. What are you poorly implying?

NBC said the photo resulted in a visit from the BoH. Juniors response was that it was an isolated incident and now that they are aware they are "taking the right steps" to rectify (paraphrasing). BoH is coming back in a few days to see what they have done.
I should rent them StellaMaria. It's about time she earned her keep! _________________ Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball!

Unfortunately,
The person who took the photo has refused to talk about it.
As I stated before I did not take this image however the person who did posted it on facebook first. I am horrified by it, but not naive enough to think this is the only eatery in the city suffering from this kind of infestation.
The images have been picked up and splashed across many media outlets, some even putting their logos on them.
I am glad Junior's seems to be taking responsible measures to ensure this does not occur again. (a more secure cake case would probably help)
As for the photographer who seems to be taking a "no snitching" approach to this matter, which makes "perfect sense" (rolling eyes)
This matter is a concern for public health, and responsibility/ liability.
Now that I see how much attention it has garnered from the media I will make sure to keep my eyes peeled for any other instances where the safety, health and well being of the public is at risk.
Brooklynian.com will always get the exclusive.
lol
Restaurants and bakeries this should serve as a warning, in this tech savvy day and age you cannot afford to cut corners. You never know who is watching.
Signed,
Rachel Rae

Junior's on Flatbush has always been nasty, a glorified grimy diner.
Horrified but not surprised by that photo. I'll buy my cheesecake at the Grand Central outpost and pretend that, since it didn't sit in the Brooklyn window, it's mouse free (**lalala hands-over-ears lalala*).

p.s. I love Juniors. I only go every couple of years now, but it's always a fun trip, and I do mean *trip*
AND the cheesecake is quality stuff. I don't like Italian-style dry and lemony cheesecake from Court St. (I don't like mouse poop either, so I hope they work it out)
Junior's (and all-night Korean BBQ places on 32nd St) used to be a great late night post-club spot for me when I was doing that kind of thing. Fun...always a fun scene between the party folks and the church folks and the everyone else that happens to be at a diner early early in the morning. I like the folks who work there - very old-school.
I guess the owner doesn't know the difference between mousse and mouse

All in all, it really is quite an adorable mouse! I'm guessing it was just there
to clean up overspill. I'm quite certain it was careful when walking by the
cakes not to bush up against them. It was just there to keep the cake case
clean. It's job is to police up all sprinkles and crumbs around but not ON
the trays. Prior to the photo being snapped the little bugger was busily
washing it's face with it's little tiny hands. _________________ Me & Charley Booger Brown

It's a damn good thing I never liked Junior's cheesecakes anyway...too rich for me, but the little buggers seem to have more discerning tastebuds.

OK Rachel Rae is a damn liar, so yea she may have put it on THIS SITE but her "friend" wasnt the one who took the picture and it wasnt first posted on Facebook. I know who took the picture and I was the one who posted it FIRST on Twitter trying to create a Trending Topic called #boycottjuniors and I used the 2 pictures as proof and i have proof of it because I favorited the first time I even tweeted about it if you go to my twitter page and look through my tweets Twitter.com/SickAndTwisted6 dont let her fool you and lie to you, of course the person you know who claims they took the picture wont talk about it because they didnt take the picture so you can tell ya friend to stop lying to the people and take my picture that I POSTED on twitter down off of there facebook page because if you ask around twitter you will find the truth that @SickAndTwisted6 and @IWillCreate03 was the first people who posted the picture and knows who took it and i can even post my @'s in screen shots and show yall all when they were said to me!

whoa. . . and this is relevant because. . . ? personally, i thank rachel rae for posting it here, whoever took it or tweeted first.
i'll add here that i happen to love junior's cheesecake, although now i will have to wait a while until my short-term memory is reformatted before i go back. _________________ "Great regular flavor."
