Well, well, well. Here you are. You, the average reader, who has (probably) never heard of a cheesecake sandwich. Allow me to give you a definition. Cheesecake sandwich: fresh, fluffy cheesecake situated between two cookies for the convenience of eating; one of the most delicious creations I have ever eaten. So now you know what a cheesecake sandwich is. Now what? What on God’s Green Earth do you serve with a cheesecake sandwich? That is the question I aim to answer for you all today. First up, the most obvious pairing for any dessert ever: milk. There’s nothing like a nice, cold glass of milk to wash down a sweet treat. Speaking of the classics, if milk isn’t your style, you...
Obviously, I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I've built a whole business around sharing one singular taste of my grandmother Raphaella's famous cheesecake, brought into the modern world in the form of a handheld, easy to eat yet deeply, soul satisfying cheesecake sandwich. One foot in the past, one foot in the future. That's me. I think about this, sometimes, when I have a rare moment to catch my breath, in the midst of the industrial ovens of my Whitestone, New York commercial kitchen, surrounded by freezers, stacks of molds, giant cases of cream cheese, enveloped in the rich sweet smell of melting chocolate and baked butter and sugar, the tang of fresh cut fruit and the base note of cardboard from...

Take heart, there's comfort to be had...at least if you're flying out of LaGuardia, where there are Grandma's Cheesecake Sandwiches available at two Bowery Bay locations in the terminal now. Look for us, and enjoy a moment of sweet escape right there in the terminal, or even better, take a little bit of my Grandma Raphaella's home-baked love with you onto the plane. You won't need a fork or a plate to enjoy the creamy deliciousness of cheesecake sandwiched between two soft sweet cookies, but be warned; you might...
Summer is coming, which means it’s time to break out (and smoosh, and blend, and strain) the FRUIT! Our matcha was a big hit for St. Patrick’s day (check us out on Goldbelly) and while we always keep our favorites around (here’s looking at you, Classic and Chocolate Chip) it’s always fun here in our nut-free kitchen whipping up seasonal delights. So we’re mashing the Mangoes, we’re crushing the Coconuts, and we’re pureeing the Peaches to bring you fresh, lively summer flavors. Inspired by the cherry trees blooming in D.C.? Celebrate with our Cherry flavor, sandwiched between two vanilla cookies. Want something light and lively? Dive into our Lemonade. Recall those lovely, drippy 50-50 bars (half orange, half cream) or...
