Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! All of our cheesecakes are suitable for vegetarians.
Our Classic Burnt Basque Cheesecake is halal. It does not contain alcohol, pork, gelatine, or animal-derived additives. We use only cream cheese, cream, sugar, and eggs.
Some of our signature flavours (including 75% Dark Chocolate and Tiramisu) contain vanilla extract, which includes a small amount of alcohol as part of the ingredient. For this reason, these flavours may not be considered halal by all customers.
If you’re unsure, please feel free to ask — we’re always happy to help you choose the right cake.
