Muddy Paws Cheesecake

We received a cheesecake sampler & every flavor was amazing. My 2 favorites were the Key Lime & Oreo. I loved these cheesecakes because they weren’t too dense like so many cheesecakes are. I would definitely order these cheesecakes again!

I ordered a blueberry swirl cake for my 50th birthday, and I showed up to pick up only to be told I didn't have an order. I insisted I did, they said I was incorrect, I produced my online receipt and they apologized. Then they didn't have a cake for me, and apologized for that. I'm on my way to the party, so I need my cake, oh but wait we just found it... They gave me a cake that had no swirl, I told them you gave me the wrong one- I ordered blueberry swirl. They said this actually WAS a swirl. I asked "are you serious?" because there was clearly no decorative swirl and I ordered an expensive fancy cake for this party so I wanted that look. They told me it was just hard to see but that if you look in the right light at the right angle it is there. I asked "are you serious?!?" and we all stood there for a second looking at each other, looking at the blank cake, looking at each other, waiting for someone to own the obvious lie being told. They shrugged. Miffed, I took my cake and left fuming and I'm still irritated about it today. On top of all this, the cake I got wasn't great. I expected more for a tiny cake that cost over $50. This place sucks.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing cheesecake! Muddy Paws has an incredible variety of flavors — seriously, over 200! I tried the turtle, raspberry white chocolate, and each one was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The texture is spot on and the crust is buttery perfection. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and I love that they offer gluten-free and vegan options too. You can really tell everything is made with care. Whether you’re picking up a whole cake or grabbing a slice, this place is a must for any cheesecake lover. Support local — you won’t be disappointed!

This was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a business. They are extremely unreliable. I had heard great things about their cheesecake, so I wanted to order bite-sized cheesecakes for my friend’s baby shower. Trying to place an order was a nightmare. Every call went to an AI message system—no human interaction at all. They were very slow to respond and did not confirm orders in a timely manner. The shop is about 40 minutes from my home, so I drove there to place the order in person. Even then, they refused to take my order and told me to email instead. It took one full week just to place and confirm an order for 2 dozen bite-size cheesecakes on January 10, scheduled for pickup on January 23. The day before pickup, I messaged them to let them know I would arrive around noon. The next day, I arrived and the store was closed, with the front door locked. I waited outside for 20 minutes in freezing cold weather, knocked multiple times, and got no response. Calls went to AI again, and emails and messages were ignored. No one ever responded on the pickup day. We ended up having the baby shower with no cheesecakes at all. It was incredibly disappointing. They may have good products, but based on my experience, this is one of the most unreliable businesses I’ve dealt with. Do not order from here for an event or party.

Loved Muddy Paws cheesecakes for our 2023 wedding. Frozen cheesecakes were picked up by us and easily stored in the refrigerator at our venue. Delicious options, and we only needed one gf/dairy free pie.

My wife placed an order weeks in advance for a cheesecake for my birthday party. She drove all the way there and they tell her there was a mix up with the order and they don’t have it ready this morning. They knew this was the case and still didn’t call my wife to tell her this before making her drive there. No concessions, no discount , or attempt to make it right. Their solution was to pick another cheesecake from their already made selection. If I wanted those I would not have placed a custom order. Based on other reviews this seems to be happening a lot lately with this place where orders are not fulfilled by them. This place has gone down hill.

This place is so cute and small you'd probably drive right past it without noticing it but I'm telling you that is a massive mistake! The cheesecake is wonderful and so affordable you can't beat it! If you haven't been you have to go give it a try! I picked it up for a coworkerw birthday and it was a huge hit even with the people who don't love cheesecake!

I was one of the lucky ones! I was a winner of Muddy Paws Cheesecake(thanks @marcuslemonis for your cheesecake gift!) It was simply delicious and NY cheesecake happens to be my favorite!! My boyfriend and I enjoyed having a slice every night after dinner...yup, didn't last us very long(lol)! So glad we discovered this place and will definitely be back! *side note...dropped in for their cute valentines cheesecakes which was a great way to taste a variety of flavors!!

Absolutely loved our time at Muddy Paws!! Parking was easy and their brightly colored building was impossible to miss. The smells that graced my nose when I walked in were heavenly!! The decor is adorable and there is now a seating area inside!! About 8-10 seats. I chatted with the owner (who is just the sweetest by the way) and she told me it was newly remodeled. They also are taking a new system where there are grab and go containers in the cooler next to the check out counter! How convenient!! I ordered a slice of the caramel swirl cheese cake and it was divine. The texture- so smooth. The flavor- perfection. The crust- crumbly in the absolute best way. I forgot to take a photo of it before I ate because it was just too good and I couldn't wait. Didn't want to tease anyone by posting an empty container! This is def a must stop if you're a cheese cake lover like me. They have their tried and true flavors ready to order! You can browse their small but mighty shopping area while you wait and pick out some cute earrings or t shirt. Please check out this adorable place and order a slice (or the whole cake!!!)

Terrific cheesecake! The owner is lovely and really welcoming. She will guide you on storage of a whole cheesecake for best results, so you can grab a slice out of the freezer and two hours later- boom, amazing cheesecake ready to eat. Lovely little space tucked away in Saint Louis Park, very cute inside with seating and a Little Free Library. Stop in for a slice, a whole cheesecake, or order online. Great place!

I was a winner of a weekly giveaway, and paid a little extra to get the turtle cheesecake. I shared it with my family, and we all LOVED it! My dad said that it was the best cheesecake he'd ever had , and he's a big fan of all cheesecake, so that's saying something! It was smooth, silky, and tastes amazing. I will definitely try some of the other flavors soon!

Great cheesecake in town! Also with Vegan & Gluten free options! When you walk in you can see the sign of different flavors, you can order a large cheesecake, or slices for various prices. Slices are about $5 a slice. My brother is vegan and we ordered all 5 of the vegan flavors-- raspberry swirl, Oreo, New York cheesecake, chocolate marble, and blueberry swirl. I asked the worker what her favorite was and she said the Bailey's Irish Crème one, but this month I'm going dry and didn't want any alcohol, so she said that the dark chocolate raspberry and cafe Au lait have been selling so I got the dark chocolate raspberry. You have to write your flavors down using a clip board, pen, and paper and wait for them to prepare your order, unlike a traditional bakery. They have a nice store front, easy parking and even free keurig coffee while you're waiting for cash tip/donation! It took about 5-10 minutes to wait and there is usually instructions to thaw out your cheesecake before eating because some are frozen. A big variety of home made cheesecakes! They also sell cheese cake merchandise like bucket hats and cards inside. They accept cash and card.

Muddy Paws has the best cheesecake. When I picked it up, I requested it to be frozen so we can eat some and travel by car to Ohio. Its texture is the creamiest when thawed and tastes great, right out of the freezer if your teeth can handle it! Unlike Kowalski's crust which has a refrigerator shelf life of 2 and a half days before turning soggy, Muddy Paw's crust remains crumbly. I've had a big selection of their flavors and really enjoyed them. I like to order a plain one for a dinner party and serve a variety of toppings, which get ignored as my pals can't get to the cheesecake quick enough! The cakes come pre sliced but you can slice again for a smaller serving. I'm glad they survived and will continue to thrive!

You know, have you ever just been sitting around thinking, "wow I could really go for a great slice of cheese cake"? Maybe it's just me but whatever, don't judge my life . This place is so cute I love it. It's in kind of an odd industrial area, but whatever. Just go and give them a try. Inside is cute and "homey" with a small area you can sit and enjoy your cheesecake and feel like you're at home. When you first walk in you're met with their menu board of options and boy are there a lot. This particular trip I wanted a good classic NY slice, I tried their pumpkin option, and got a little crazy and tried the Black Forest. All amazing (although that Black Forest had a lot going on in the rich department). Pending how you look at it, it can be pricey, but with price, comes quality. Prove me wrong (in this instance).

Gluten-free strawberry swirl cheesecake was very good. The gluten-free crust had a distinct flavor... not bad, just obviously gluten-free. But it's such a thin layer that it doesn't really bother me. The vegan raspberry swirl was legit. A very yummy dessert. FYI - The slices were served frozen, so I waited a couple of hours for them to thaw and it was then perfect for consumption. There are about 4-5 vegan options from which to choose. I don't know if they rotate these options, but I hope the raspberry is still around when I go back.

The best cheesecake in the world! Most flavor choices! Always fresh and ready to pick up Wednesdays through Saturdays! Homemade and delicious!

I've never heard of this place until I saw a "Pi" day promotion and decided to check it out. I'm sure there is a backstory but "Muddy Paws" sounds more like a pet grooming spot and not a cheesecake place. However, so glad I gave it a try! The Pi day event was actually a lot of fun, with an Elton John cover band jamming in the playground. I picked up 3 different slices and all were amazing! Great texture, vibrant flavors and definitely a place I will come back to!

This cheesecake is not to be missed. I discovered the bakery this past summer and it made me so happy. She's been having some problems recently and closed for awhile. Reopening soon but no longer ( at least for now) 122 flavors but 7 of her top sellers. It is also available for dessert at Lindeys steak house. Do yourself a favor and get some NOW.

Do you like cheesecake? If so, this should be your go to spot. We went there on March 14 (Pi Day) and every slice was $3.14. Tried the classic New York and the salted caramel. Both excellent and good sized slices.

Somehow I'd never been to muddy paws before. That cheesecake is seriously excellent. I had the Oreo. It's not cheap but it's handmade and very tasty.

These cheesecakes are delicious! Staff were delightful and so kind! Will definitely be going here for future events.

Still the best cheesecake around. So many flavors. You can even make your own sampler of the traditional flavors. They have slices available for walk-ins and whole cheesecakes too. Order well in advance for holidays. They have events like Pi-Day and from spring to fall offer Food Truck Thursdays complete with cheesecake and music. Great cheesecake and great people too!

I've twice enjoyed the cheesecake from Muddy Paws as dessert when combined with a delivery order (Parkway Pizza). Until recently I hadn't actually gotten anything from the source. My daughter and I picked up a four flavor assortment requiring advanced notice. Chosen were three slices each of Espresso, Raspberry Swirl, Turtle and Key Lime. The idea was to consume half and provide our neighbor with the other half. The Espresso was topped with a coffee bean and absolutely delicious. The Raspberry Swirl a confection that one might consider almost healthy. Turtle proved to be a rich, nearly sinful indulgence. The Key Lime a comparatively refreshing, delectable treat. We froze our uneaten slices which we were told will keep for ~8wks. We were also advised to let a frozen slice thaw by keeping it on the counter for about fifteen minutes. There is merch to be had in the front of the bakery. But obviously the warehouse setting is more conducive to commercial and take away trade. The proprietors all seem quite cordial. A board posts the flavors of the day. You can assemble your own sampler from them if available and you're so inclined. While credit cards are an option, cash is preferred.

We stopped by on a beautiful summer evening. Muddy Paws was hosting a food truck and live music every Thursday. I had never heard of the place before this event. We tried the whiskey cheesecake from their own food truck and WOW!! I have never been a fan of cheesecake but this blew me away. It was so good. They had so many flavors too! This will make a nonbeliever a believer.

Nothing better in a quarantine than a slice of cheesecake!! After living in SLP for two years now I'm glad to finally make my way over to Muddy Paws. Be careful if you're coming from 100/Lake St: there is construction and it's closed, so take Hwy 7 if you can. Anyway, a friend of mine went with me and we each got a slice (which I believe are $4 per). We got a cute little to go box and sat outside. All staff were wearing masks too, and there's hand sanitizer on the table. There's a table outside so we decided to eat there. The cheesecake is super good. The crust is nice and buttery and the cheesecake is made with love. Only two things that lowered this from 5 stars: - there wasn't a ton of raspberry flavoring so I really only got a slice of regular cheesecake (which was great) but still, would prefer just a little more raspberry - when I got my slice, the middle was still slightly frozen. Thankfully, when we got outside it was humid enough to thaw out pretty quick but the thought of crunchy cheesecake makes my teeth hurt so it's something I'll look out for next time. Overall, I'd definitely go back. My friend ordered the strawberry lemonade and I'd love to try that one!

Best Cheesecake you can get. They have an amazing selection and they are all made from hand in the shop. They have a Pie day festival where you can get all of the flavors at a special price. My favorite is the tradition NY cheesecake. They are locally owned and operated. The owner gives back to the community more than any other businesses I know. They have a parking lot and you can do shipping or grab and go. Check them out next time you need a sweet fix!

Muddy Paws cheese cake arrived in perfect condition. We were Not disappointed. Hands down the absolute best New York style cheesecake I've ever had. You have a lifelong customer here and I wish them continued success in the years to come. Bravo Muddy Paws.

This summer we celebrated my wife's bday locally before going on her fam's annual summer vacay. I wanted a special dessert--excellent enough to be worthy of her special day. Plus happy spouse=happy house, am I right? I knew I needed to check out Muddy Paws as my first option--then, well, there was no second option The raspberry swirl was perfect for the occasion; texturally this cheesecake is beyond perfect. And the perfect amount of raspberry to not overpower the light and creamy cake I'll be heading back to try all their other flavors!

Muddy Paws Cheesecake has the best New York Style cheesecake I have ever tried. It is so smooth and creamy it just melts in your mouth. Out of all of the flavors I have had that one is the best. They also serve a variety of flavors which you can buy by the slice for $4, or create your own sampler cheesecake. I've tried the banana cream, butterfinger, turtle, and espresso. For me my favorite is still the classic New York Style. The other flavors seem to take away from the cheesecake itself. But, they are all very delicious. It's a small little place, and they prefer cash or check. But, you can use card if needed.

I was expecting fresh since you can pick by slices like most bake shops. Now I wonder if the way you order is so you don't see them taking it out of freezers. They were all frozen when I brought them home for a surprise dessert for dinner so sadly could not eat tonight. They should let you know they are taken from freezer.

Being from NY, I have very high standards for my cheesecake and have basically tried all of the front runners in NYC. Given our love of cheesecake, our wedding planner suggested we try out Muddy Paws as a contender for our wedding cake. Muddy Paws recently moved to a new bigger location and we were actually their first wedding cake tasting in this new space. We were not disappointed and honestly the strawberry swirl cheesecake was the best strawberry cheesecake I've ever had. It was not too sweet, the texture was light and airy and there was strawberries mixed within the entire cake (not just on top). The cake also just had this amazing fresh cheese taste to it. We also got to try the plain, heath bar and Oreo flavors. I would highly recommend all three! It was so delicious -- wedding diet be damned -- we had those 4 slices of cheesecake in one sitting! Tami and Meg are super nice and accommodating. Muddy Paws also ships cheesecakes for your who are out of state like me. I know we will have to stop by Muddy Paws every time we're in the Minneapolis area!

This place is a national treasure. That's all anyone really needs to know about it! I doubt there is a cheesecake there that doesn't taste good (I have tried 4 so far) - pure genius! Top quality service as well! They helped my wife plan a surprise and went above and beyond (the spectacular delicacies) to make it possible. Super impressed and for sure a repeat customer as long as I am within 100 miles (ok maybe 50) of these guys!

It saddens me to have to leave a poor review, I really liked this place before. But I've always had a good experience, I bought a cheesecake and I ate it. But when it came to the way they responded (or didn't respond) when I had an issue it shows more about who they are and what they think of customer service. I bought a 56$ cheese cake that I've purchased before and it was not cooked thoroughly and there were chunks inside. I called the same day I got it to let them know and left a message. No response. Then I emailed them and again all I've heard back is crickets. Pretty sad, but I don't think I'll ever be able to purchase from them again with the lack of caring on their part. :(

Delicious - Creamy and rich cheesecake. Competes with cheesecake that we had in New York. We served it at our client event and it was a huge success. Thank you!!

Delicious cheesecake! Super impressed by the variety. I ordered the Risktaker, which came with one slice each of 12 flavors. The Espresso Kahlua was a definite highlight. Tami was great to work with via email. My order was ready when I arrived to pick it up. Will be back to try more flavors in the future.

Ordered two speciality cheesecakes - chocolate chip cookie dough and caramel coffee. They were both absolutely delicious. The caramel coffee was especially amazing - so fluffy and the flavors were so balanced! Order and pick up process was very easy, and everyone I dealt with was so kind. Would highly recommend! Can't wait to have again.

I am a volunteer from a local non-profit Seeds Feeds and I have been amazed at how they support our organization! They are extremely open to helping out the community in any way we need and are very kind.

Having attended their 24th annual cheesecake sampling and toy/pet food shelf drive for the first time last evening, I will say that I'm a fan of their style of cheesecake. It was kind of gooey, with a nondescript bottom crust. Contrast that with the usual graham cracker crust on any cheesecake I've eaten over many years. Plus, historically, cheesecakes have been comparatively dry, like a very dense poundcake that's made with ricotta cheese. The sample I chose was the New York style plain cheesecake, and it was in a cupcake wrapper. It was delicious. My companion liked his "eggnog" flavor sample so much that he decided to buy a slice of their "decadent chocolate" for $4. We shared that piece and really enjoyed it, although we were expecting a rich chocolate flavor and instead experienced a light milk chocolate flavor. No matter, however - he decided to buy one of their small 7" cheesecakes for $25 in their "cafe au lait" flavor and bring it in to work to share with coworkers. I'm sure they'll all be quite happy with it.

Muddy Paws cheesecake is so delicious! Perfect creamy texture and lots of flavors to choose from. Some traditional, some unique, and also some seasonal options throughout the year. In December we enjoyed Candy Cane and this week enjoyed two green cheesecake slices in honor of St Patrick's Day - Shamrock Marshmallow Mint and Girls Scouts Thin Mint.

The cheesecake is delicious, as is the sauce (it is amazing). We ordered a special sampler cheesecake in advance for our son's birthday (he prefers cheesecake to cake) and let him pick the flavors. We got a reply with confirmation but it wasn't there when we went to pick it up. The owner was very apologetic and gave us a gift card after to make up for it.

This cheesecake place is the best! I don't even love cheesecake, but could not stop trying all their wonderful unique flavors. Blueberry swirl and chocolate toffee were my favorite!

We used Muddy Paws for our wedding because, well, the prospect of having to eat another slice of dry sheet cake horrified me. We had individual cheesecakes on everyone's table--cut into 16ths and with signs encouraging people to share--so our cheesecakes were a great mingling activity :) The cheesecakes were SO delicious and VERY yummy (and we got a LOT of comments on them). The most popular was the turtle, but the raspberry swirl, espresso and pumpkin were also big hits. (On a side note, I ate leftover espresso cheesecake every morning for breakfast for a month after the wedding because: 1. It's THAT good. 2. If it tastes like coffee, it's breakfast food.) Our wedding was in 2006. People STILL talk about those darn cheesecakes--what a good idea it was, how tasty they were, etc. The service was also good. They scheduled a tasting session for us (yum!) so we could pick flavors, and were very helpful about making recommendations on quantity and flavors. They also were prompt in delivery and setup. Recently, my husband's aunt went in to order cheesecakes for a graduation. When she told them her name, they said, "Oh, [Lastname]? Are you related to the [Ourlastname] wedding party?" When they found out we were relatives, they gave her a discount! Sweet service! It wasn't super-cheap, but it was worth it.

Muddy Paws has 222 Flavors of Cheesecake. You can order a 9" of your choice, or stop in and try a slice of one of the daily selected flavors. At $4 a slice, you can't refuse a slice (or two) on occasion. I don't think I will ever order an entire cake, just in fear that I will eat the entire thing in on sitting, all by myself. Their hours are very limited and it is in a very strange location, but it is so worth a visit. Even if you are familiar with the SLP area you will still wonder if you are in the right place - the first visit anywhere is always scary, but this place - super weird. Pass the post office, once the road looks like it will end, follow to the right. After you drive over the trail crossing, go left and follow almost to the end. Luckily there are a lot of signs once you get to the buildings. The drive there is not where the weirdness ends. Once you get inside it is even more strange, a big hallway with a bunch of garage doors and what look like service centers. It is sill a bit strange once you get inside the actual business, there isn't a real storefront or counter to order. It is a commercial bakery, so no fluff, just great service and yummy cheesecakes. There is a board listing all of the flavors for the day if you didn't pre-order. The stars next to some flavors will be the ones available for 'by the slice' orders. Choose your flavors and they will box them up for you. I suggest bringing a fork with you so you can eat it in the car, you won't want to wait. They do not take Discover Card, so that was one less star for me, but they do take Visa/Mastercard. Bonus - if you check in on Yelp during your visit, there is a coupon for $5 off a 9" cheesecake - great deal since they run around $32-39 a piece. Also, if you don't want to venture into the unknown, don't worry...you buy, I will fly.

Their retail outlet closed a year ago, but Muddy Paws lives on in catering-form. Muddy Paws makes arguably the finest vegan cheesecake I have ever had, and I've tried at least two dozen different ones around the world. You can't go wrong with any of their multitude of standard and unusual flavors; their plain strawberry cheesecake is fresh and delectable while their edgy chai cheesecake is exotic and familiar all at once. I highly appreciate that they have such an emphasis on vegan cheesecake, as well as gluten-free, for my new gluten-intolerant friends. We recently had an office party where every single slice of the vegan cheesecake was devoured, whereas the non-vegan cheesecake wasn't even touched. My middle-aged suburban colleagues didn't notice any difference and, in the end, they were amazed to learn that they had just eaten vegan cheesecake. This is a testament to Muddy Paws' quality and deliciousness.

Tami, the owner, and her staff are delightful, helpful, friendly and know their stuff! Over 222 varieties of cheesecake, always whole cheesecakes and slices available in the storefront to take home *or eat* immediately. Special orders can be done within a few days. Muddy Paws caters events, too..I love them so much I'm having cheesecake for my wedding and I have friends that have done the same! I found as I was selecting my wedding reception venue that Muddy Paws is a preferred cake vendor by many! A friend and I hosted a "cake baking" birthday party at the bakery, it was awesome! Guests of the party had to let us know ahead of time the kind of cakes they wanted to bake and Tami had all the ingredients ready, we mixed up and panned our cakes ourselves. A couple days later we came back to pick up our pre-sliced masterpieces! The Key Lime is one of the most popular and my favorite. But, Muddy Paws has so many flavors to tickle your fancy. Tami will even do custom orders and often invents new flavors based on popular votes like 2 Gingers cheesecake! I love that the shop is locally owned and grown with the sweat & smiles of a wonderful businesswoman.

Full review with pictures here: http://www.chimesdesign.com/blog/2016/10/05/wedding-wednesday-vendor-highlight-muddy-paws-cheesecake/ My husband and I always joked that we would have cheesecake at our wedding. Neither one of us is a big cake fan. Turns out that making our cheesecake joke a reality was easy with Muddy Paws Cheesecake. Pros of serving cheesecake instead of wedding cake: They have TONS of flavors to choose from -- they add new ones all the time; Muddy Paws offers allergy- and diabetic-friendly options -- gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan (read: also lactose-free); Cheesecake is WAY less expensive than cake because the main cake cost is decoration; Cheesecake keeps better in the freezer than regular cake (for those who want to freeze their top layer); And, did I mention, you're getting cheesecake? I think we can all agree cheesecake is better than regular cake -- it's dessert made with cheese! Tami is super friendly and was one of my favorite vendors to work with because of this. Muddy Paws also provides stands and utensils. We had seven or more flavors of cheesecake, which we opted to slice into smaller pieces so people could try different flavors. Overall, a big success! We had a great experience with Muddy Paws and I would totally use them again if I could. Maybe I'll order some cheesecake for my birthday ...

I have never had better cheesecake! The vegan variety is so wonderful, that when I serve it alongside the " regular " it is eaten up faster and by non vegans, as they can't tell the difference. Although sensitive to dairy, I have no reaction eating Muddy Paws cheesecake. I think it may be due to the pure ingredients, minimal processing & the sugar is not overdone. I crave this cheesecake just writing about it!

My husband and I went to a wedding that served Muddy Paws cheesecake for dessert and we knew we had to have it for our own wedding. The cheesecake was amazing! Such a big hit among our guests. Meg & Tami were wonderful to work with and provided plenty of samples during our consultation. Prices were very affordable. I would recommend Muddy Paws to any couple looking for a unique dessert choice!

What can I say besides the best cheesecake in the Twin Cities and the owner is one of the kindest and most giving in the community!

We used Muddy Paws for our wedding and loved it! When we went in for a tasting, we were shows a lot of pictures, options and tasted a variety of flavors. After the tasting, she also sent us home with two pieces of cheesecake for later. We decided a week later to hire them for our wedding and they were very easy to work with and very reasonably priced. They were on time to our wedding to set up, and everything was beautiful. We decided to do mini cheesecakes with one round one for a cake cutting with chocolate covered bride and groom strawberries. It was all very nicely done and delicious. The only cons about this place is the hours (hard to get there by 5:00) and its hidden in a warehouse complex and can be difficult to find your first time.

Just one of the best run small local businesses. Tami will do special orders, fun samplers and the cheesecake is to die for!!

Great cheesecake! So many choices! I'm excited for any future events so I can special order one of thier unique flavors! Easter family get together?!

Wow this is for the best cheesecakes I've ever had and I've had cheesecake all over the USA. it is so delicious the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess if I had to give it a negative I would like more crust but that's just a personal opinion cuz I like crust.

Best cheesecake I've ever had! Best service too. Love Meg and Tami. Cute new location. They make old fashioned homemade cheesecake that tastes like my grandma's. I highly suggest you try them! I had the raspberry white chocolate... yum!

I own a catering service and have been selling Muddy Paws Cheesecake for over 6 years. Over the years we have sold, not less then, 600 cheesecakes. I could sell a less expensive product full of flour and fillers but I choose only the best. Every holiday season we have promoted the pumpkin cheesecake for Thansgiving and their candy cane cheeesecake for Christmas. The layers of flavor are deep, the color is beautfiul and the buttery, crumbly crust adds mouth feel that finishes the bite perfectly. I highly recomend Tami and her amazing team.

Muddy Paws was recommended to me by a friend, and they didn't disappoint! I ordered three times (two e-gift-cards, one delivery). I supplied the wrong recipient email address on one of my gift cards, contacted them, and Tami cheerfully fixed my mistake right away. The delivery was done on time and they followed instructions to the letter. I was very happy with their professionalism and willingness to help me. If you feel personal service is a thing of the past, then give Muddy Paws a chance to wow you! I'm glad I did!

I'm glad they have vegan and gluten-free options for people who want it but I tried a piece of their pumpkin pie cheesecake and i had to spit it out. I can't even explain the awful taste. To be fair it was the only piece I tried. Maybe someday I'll try something else there. Maybe. I also find it odd that four first time reviewers have written five star reviews today. Seems fishy. It just motivated me to write this review which is me being completely honest.
