"Cheesecake may be more associated with Basque country up north, but plenty of Madrileños like Alex Cordobés are also ecstatic about the famous dessert. After leaving his job as a physiotherapist, Cordobés began selling cheesecake to go, eventually growing his business into this namesake shop in the Salamanca neighborhood. His cakes are creamy and soft, planted on a butter cookie base and well-toasted to make the most of the Maillard reaction. Cordobés stages the treats in an exquisite store as if they were pieces of art." - Paula Móvil
