About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Crazy Block Cheesecakes, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A delivery driver would arrive with boxes of freshly baked cheesecakes, but no one ever saw him leave. One day, a curious child asked their parent if the man had a magic van that disappeared after dropping off desserts. Soon enough, rumors spread that the delivery driver was actually a ghost who haunted the streets at night, delivering delectable treats without ever taking payment. Eventually, the owner revealed it was just his brother-in-law, who lived next door and loved baking so much he couldn’t resist helping out. The end result? Free cheesecakes for everyone in the neighborhood—until someone finally caught him sneaking back through the kitchen door.

2. At Crazy Block Cheesecakes, one morning a little girl pointed excitedly at the window display and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The cheesecake is winking!’ The mother smiled and said, 'Honey, it's just a cake.' But as she turned around, everyone in line swore they saw the cheesecake wave back. Since then, locals claim that on special days, if you’re very quiet and close your eyes, you might hear it humming too. No one has ever dared to investigate further.

3. At Crazy Block Cheesecakes, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve never seen anything like it!’ after noticing a slice of cheesecake mysteriously floating above the counter. A few days later, an excited neighbor rushed in and asked if they could buy the magical flying cake for their daughter’s birthday. The baker smiled and replied, ‘We don’t sell those anymore, but I can make you something equally delicious that won’t defy gravity.’ Everyone laughed, and the legend lived on as just another charming tale about Crazy Block Cheesecakes.

4. At Crazy Block Cheesecakes, a sign above the counter suddenly started reading, ‘Our cheesecakes are baked with love—just don’t ask for extra.’ One day, a delivery driver asked if he could take an extra slice. The sign replied, 'Sorry, no extras today.' Confused, the driver looked around and saw only himself in the mirror behind the counter. A regular customer then whispered, 'Welcome to Crazy Block Cheesecakes!'
