If you are looking for cheesecake in Gulf Shores, look no further than Hope's Cheesecake.
Hopes Cheesecake
This Gulf Coast favorite is a hidden gem in plain site! You can't miss the Hope's Cheesecake Gulf Shores sign as you drive along E. 20th Ave.
It is a beacon of dessert goodness. We were unsure what to expect during our 1st visit, and I must tell you the bakery blew our minds.
The New York Style cheesecake being produced by the bakers at Hope's is some of the best cheesecake I have had anywhere in the world.
You can tell that the cheesecakes are made with the finest ingredients like Kraft Philadelphia® cream cheese, fresh whole eggs, Melipone vanilla, pure-cane sugar, and juice squeezed from fresh lemons.
The graham cracker crust includes Zwieback toast crumbs, almond meal, and graham cracker crumbs to make the most amazing cheesecake base.
Each Hope's cheesecake is baked for two and a half hours in special rotary ovens that maintain a consistent temperature and protect the cake from the flame.
You can currently only purchase Hope's Cheesecakes in their Gulf Shores, Alabama bakery! They do not currently ship.
I feel like this is the perfect reason to visit Hope's multiple times to try all of the amazing flavors and options.
One thing to know is the 8 inch and 10 inch cheesecakes are frozen so you will need to plan time for them to thaw before enjoying them.
The individual slices of cheesecake are ready to be enjoyed as soon as you want them. We purchased a few different flavors and created our own cheesecake sampling party at the bakery.
Indoor Seating
A couple of booths and a small table with chairs are available inside the bakery. Don't worry; they have plastic forks at each table so you can dive into your slice of cheesecake right there.
Outdoor Seating
There are multiple tables with bench seats attached outside of the restaurant.
