Frequently asked questions

Which size should I choose?

Is it gluten free?
Our cheesecakes are made without flour or any gluten ingredients. Our kitchen is not certified gluten-free, so please tell us about any allergies when you order.
How should I store and serve it?
Keep it in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days. For the creamiest texture, take it out about 30 minutes before serving.
Why is the top so dark?
That's the point of a Basque cheesecake. It's baked very hot, so the sugar on top caramelises to a deep brown while the middle stays soft. The dark top tastes of caramel, not burnt.
How do I pay?
We don't take payment on the website. Once your order is confirmed, we'll contact you to arrange payment.
About us
A small family bakery
Little Basque Bakery is a family business in London. We fell in love with Basque cheesecake and started baking it for friends and family, and it grew from there.
Every cheesecake is made by hand in small batches and baked for the day you need it. We'd rather bake fewer cakes and get each one right: a properly dark top, and a centre that's still a little soft when you cut it.
— from our family to yours
Where it comes from
Basque cheesecake was first made in 1990 at La Viña, a small bar in San Sebastián in the Basque Country. It's baked hot and fast in crumpled parchment, which gives the dark top and the rustic, folded edges.
