About Us
We’re two people on the spectrum who make New York style cheesecake from scratch in small batches. We care about the ingredients we use, the quality of our products, and charging a fair price.
We tried working with commercial kitchens and delivery platforms, but the overhead and fees didn’t make sense for us or our customers. We decided to keep things small and sell directly through weekly pre orders.
Our cheesecakes are made with 100% Philadelphia cream cheese, sour cream, lemon, and raw sugar. They’re rich, dense, and velvety, with the texture and flavor you expect from a New York style cheesecake.
This is not a light, whipped, airy cheesecake. We want a rich cheesecake with real cream cheese flavor, a dense texture, and a little tang from the sour cream and lemon. That’s what we love, and that’s what we make.
We also make our caramel from scratch using organic salted butter and heavy cream. We started paying attention to caramel because no one seems to make homemade caramel for toppings on anything anymore. It just tastes like synthetic chemical, and we got so angry. We set out to make the best caramel, and we hope everyone appreciates it as much as we do, because is anything even real anymore?
We want our ingredients to speak for themselves. We hate unnecessary dyes and preservatives, and we hate seeing people charge outrageous prices for products made with low quality ingredients.
For now, we’re keeping things small. If this turns into something people love as much as we love making it, we might eventually open a brick and mortar shop.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I place an order?
Pre orders open every Sunday at 2 PM for the following Saturday’s pickup. Ordering remains available until all available pre orders are sold out.
We offer a limited quantity of two slice cheesecake boxes each week. Once they’re sold out, ordering closes until the following Sunday.
What comes in a cheesecake box?
Each box contains two slices of cheesecake. You can choose the two slices you want from the available menu options.
We do not offer individual single slices at this time.
Why are quantities limited?
We make everything from scratch in small batches. Limiting the number of orders allows us to focus on preparation, consistency, and the quality of each cheesecake.
What ingredients do you use?
Our cheesecake is made with 100% Philadelphia cream cheese, sour cream, lemon, and raw sugar. We prioritize quality ingredients and flavor over unnecessary additives.
Our caramel is made from scratch using organic salted butter and heavy cream.
Do you use artificial dyes or preservatives?
We avoid unnecessary dyes and preservatives. We prioritize quality ingredients and believe good cheesecake does not need unnecessary additives.
Do you accept custom orders?
We do not offer custom orders at this time. All orders are limited to the cheesecakes and options available on our current menu.
When can I pick up my order?
Pickup is available Saturdays from 12 PM to 2 PM at the Torrey Pines and Foothills Blvd crossing. Park anywhere on either side of the street. Once you arrive, please call or text 725-269-0854.
What happens if I miss the pickup window?
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD. THIS IS A SMALL BUSINESS RUN BY TWO PEOPLE.
Our pickup window is Saturdays from 12 PM to 2 PM. If you miss those two hours, we can’t give you your money back. We can’t afford it, and we’re not going to be around for you to pick up your order outside that window.
Make sure you have someone available to pick up your order if you can’t make it yourself. We will not issue a credit for the following week, either. It wouldn’t be fair for you to leave a bad review because you missed your pickup time when we clearly communicated our hours.
We really want you to eat your cheesecake, and we really don’t want to waste product either. Every order takes time, ingredients, and money that a small business cannot afford to throw away.
By placing an order, you are responsible for making sure it gets picked up during the scheduled window. Missed pickups are not eligible for refunds or credits.
What if I’m dissatisfied with my order?
If, for some reason, you’re dissatisfied with your purchase, email us. Don’t eat the whole thing first, because that’s gonna look weird.
If we feel like you’re trying to finesse us, we’re not gonna hook you back up with some other slices to try out. So be honest with us.
It’s just two of us, and we’ll make it right, I promise.
We want you to enjoy what you paid for, and we want to know if something isn’t right. Please contact us directly so we have an opportunity to address the issue.
How can I contact you?
Please review our FAQ first. If you need additional information, email us at:
wishyouwereherecheesecakes@gmail.com
We aim to respond within 24 to 48 hours.
Our business phone is reserved exclusively for Saturday pickup orders and is answered only between 12 PM and 2 PM. Calls outside these hours will not be answered.
Will you ever open a storefront?
For now, we’re keeping things small and offering weekly pre orders. If this turns into something people love as much as we love making it, we might eventually consider opening a brick and mortar shop.
