Prepare Your Taste Buds for Paradise!
From the moment our family of eighteen vacationers stepped into the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe, we knew we had stumbled upon something truly special. What followed was an experience so delightful, we simply had to return the very next day! This isn't just a cafe; it's a haven of incredible flavors, heartwarming hospitality, and a genuine commitment to the community.
Let's start with the star of the show: the Cheesecakes. Calling them "outstanding" feels like an understatement. Each slice is a creamy, dreamy masterpiece, boasting a perfect balance of rich flavor and delicate texture. From classic favorites to innovative and exciting creations, there's a cheesecake to tantalize every palate. Our large group sampled a wide variety, and every single one was met with enthusiastic praise.
But don't let the name fool you – the Sandwiches here are nothing short of unbelievable! Packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients and crafted with care, these aren't your average breakfast & lunchtime bites. They are substantial, flavorful, and leave you completely satisfied. Whether you're craving a classic deli creation or something a little more adventurous, the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe has you covered.
And for those with a sweet tooth beyond cheesecake, prepare to be delighted by their array of other sweet treats. Each one is a testament to their dedication to quality and deliciousness.
Now, let's talk about the fuel that powers this delightful establishment: the Coffee. It's simply phenomenal. As a dedicated coffee lover, I can wholeheartedly recommend their special house cold brew. It's smooth, rich, and the perfect pick-me-up any time of day. You cannot leave without a "Cheesecake Latte", a house special!
Beyond the exceptional food and drinks, what truly sets the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe apart are the owners. They are, without a doubt, the most wonderful people you could hope to meet. Their warmth and genuine care for their customers create an inviting and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of their family. They clearly pour their hearts and souls into their cafe, and it shines through in every aspect of the experience.
As vacationers, we were particularly touched to learn about their donations of leftover food, dishwashing and laundry, and sundry items to local families. This commitment to their community is truly admirable and speaks volumes about their character. It's heartwarming to support a business that not only provides incredible food but also gives back in such a meaningful way.
The fact that our family of eighteen, with varying tastes and preferences, enjoyed our experience so much that we returned the next morning for breakfast speaks for itself. Their breakfast offerings were just as impressive, setting us up perfectly for another day of our vacation.
Finally, for anyone with dietary restrictions, I must give a special shout-out to their HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CELIAC / GLUTEN FREE ITEMS! It can be a challenge to find delicious and safe gluten-free options, but the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe has truly excelled in this area. Our gluten-free family members were thrilled with the variety and quality of the choices available.
In conclusion, the Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe is more than just a place to eat; it's an experience. From the outstanding cheesecakes and unbelievable sandwiches to the phenomenal coffee and the heartwarming hospitality of the owners, every aspect is top-notch. If you find yourself in the area (and even if you don't!), make the trip. You won't be disappointed. This gem of a cafe is a must-visit, and these "Cheeseheads" from Wisconsin can't wait for our next...
Read morePreparing for my friend's birthday celebration, we made a trip to Cheesecake Cutie in Holmes Beach FL. Aside from being located in a meticulously manicured shopping center, Cheesecake Cutie was easy to find, as it had a distinct blue and white striped awning over the storefront windows. Stepping inside, we were greeted by an elegant gallery of crafted treats, including cheesecakes, bon bons, and more.
Despite each item resembling a work of art, showcasing professional preparation, intricate decoration, and meticulous sculpting, everything was affordably priced. The interior offered inviting tables where patrons could indulge in their sweets & beverages, with a scenic and upscale vibe, enhancing the entire experience. The employees were friendly, and everything about this business was a step above average.
Our order included a variety of cheesecakes, original topped with real orchids (which are supposedly edible), caramel crowned with a chocolate pretzel on top, blueberry lemon, raspberry, chocolate, and the ever so popular keylime cheesecake.
While this might sound like an impressive order, many other flavors were available. I saw northern crumb, peanut butter, pumpkin, & apple pie, all which looked delicious.
Before departing, we couldn't resist indulging in a few buckeyes—as a quick snack for the journey back home. The peanut butter boasted a moist texture, encased in a crisp chocolate shell that satisfyingly snapped with each bite. I've many peanut butter desserts before, and when refrigerated the peanut butter can become grainy or dry, but that was not the case here.
At the birthday party I decided I would try the key lime cheesecake. The flavor was a nice blend of tartness and sweetness, with the real key lime slice elevating all the flavors. The cheesecake, with its thick consistency allowed it to be picked up and eaten by hand, and while not dense like authentic NY cheesecake, it was far from runny even after sitting at room temperature for a short while.
Cheesecake Cutie's desserts not only delivered great tasting desserts, but a visual experience. From the picturesque storefront to the excellent products &service provided, I highly recommend stopping here if your ever...
Read moreThe Cheesecake Cutie & Cafe was a fabulous unplanned stop on our way to spend the day at Anna Maria island. A quick Google search for “local deli’s” led us to this darling cafe for lunch, and of course, Cheesecake. It’s a bit unassuming in its Anna Maria Islands strip mall location, but there’s a lot of homemade love behind the striped awnings and farmhouse styled bakery!
WAY more than a traditional sub shop, Cheesecake Cuties offers gourmet breakfasts, lunches, coffees and desserts. We ordered from the lunch menu and finished every single bite. The lunch offerings include sandwiches, salads, wraps and flatbreads with Vegan and Vegetarian friendly options!
I ordered a custom vegetarian sandwich which was served on a pretzel bun with lettuce, red onion, pickles, bell pepper and Mayo. The hubs ordered the shaved Chicken and Swiss on a pretzel bun with arugula and the teenager enjoyed the ham sub with arugula. They both picked the Key Lime Cheesecake for dessert that was simply divine.
Pros: I’m always down to support a small business - especially a female owned business! The wonderful breads, salads and desserts are made with love and served with gratitude. It’s location, close to the beach, makes it a wonderful option for lunch or a to-go meal for a picnic. Super cute interior and delicious Cheesecake!
Cons: None to report - it was very enjoyable and clean and we would love to...
