Hey Friends! Our family has decided to take the summer off from the restaurant (back open in October)! We are still catering as usual but will not be open on the weekends as we have been! 6 years of missing a lot with our kids (our 3 on the left when we first started this journey) and we honestly just want to enjoy a summer with our kids!

The kids and I will be at the Lyons Farmers Market selling cheesecake slices. We will put our flavors each week so you can stop and see us there!

If you have any catering needs, reach out! We would be happy to help for any occasion!
