Nearly 50 Years of Handcrafted Cheesecake, Now Online

As The Cheesecake Shoppe & Cafe approaches a remarkable 50-year milestone serving Metro Detroit, the Saint Clair Shores bakery is making its handcrafted New York-style cheesecakes and specialty desserts more accessible than ever before. Co-owned by Sandy Kravitz and her brother Jimmy Mazzola, the bakery has launched online pre-ordering through Square and local delivery through DoorDash, bringing nearly five decades of community tradition directly to customers’ doors.

A Family Legacy Built on Handcrafted Quality

For nearly 50 years, The Cheesecake Shoppe & Cafe has been a fixture in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, earning a loyal following across Metro Detroit for its premium handcrafted desserts. The bakery built its reputation on the same principles that have guided it from the beginning: quality ingredients, careful preparation, and a genuine connection to the community it serves.

Today, Sandy Kravitz and her brother Jimmy Mazzola carry that legacy forward as co-owners. Their stewardship reflects both a deep respect for the bakery’s roots and a willingness to evolve with the needs of their customers. As the business approaches its 50th year, the decision to expand into digital ordering and local delivery represents a natural progression for a family operation that has always put customer experience first.

“We’ve spent close to 50 years making cheesecakes the right way, and now we want to make sure more people in our community can enjoy them without any extra hassle,” said Sandy Kravitz, co-owner of The Cheesecake Shoppe & Cafe. “Adding Square pre-ordering and DoorDash delivery just makes sense for where our customers are today.”

New Ordering Options Rooted in Community Convenience

The introduction of Square online pre-ordering gives customers a straightforward way to browse the bakery’s selection and place orders in advance, reducing wait times and ensuring availability of their preferred desserts. For those who prefer to have their order brought to them, DoorDash delivery now connects The Cheesecake Shoppe & Cafe to a broader network of local households across the Metro Detroit area.

The move addresses a practical reality for many dessert lovers: finding premium, handcrafted baked goods that can be ordered and received with the same ease as everyday essentials. For a bakery that has spent decades earning its reputation slice by slice, the transition to digital accessibility was a deliberate and customer-focused decision.

The cheesecakes themselves remain unchanged. The Cheesecake Shoppe & Cafe continues to use premium ingredients and time-honored techniques to produce the dense, creamy New York-style cheesecakes the bakery has been known for across generations of Metro Detroit families.

A Saint Clair Shores Institution Serving a New Era

The Cheesecake Shoppe & Cafe’s near-50-year history reflects the kind of staying power that comes from consistent quality and genuine community ties. Situated in Saint Clair Shores, the bakery has watched the surrounding neighborhood change and grow while maintaining the handcrafted standards that defined it from the start.

With Sandy Kravitz and Jimmy Mazzola at the helm, the bakery is now positioned to reach a new generation of customers who may be discovering it for the first time through a DoorDash search, while continuing to serve the longtime regulars who have made it part of their family traditions. The combination of local heritage and updated convenience reflects a straightforward philosophy: the cheesecake should be just as easy to order as it is to enjoy.
