Baked by Friends
Your everyday Spanish treat in Amsterdam.
The Cheesecake Project started a few years ago during a trip between friends, with a simple idea: bringing something genuinely delicious to Amsterdam. Back home, we realized we couldn't find the Spanish cheesecake we loved, so we started baking it ourselves. First at home, then for friends, then for more and more people. Somewhere along the way, the magic happened. We've always shared a love for good food, good taste, and bringing people together around a table. That spirit became the heart of The Cheesecake Project. Today, we still want every person walking into our stores to feel welcomed like a guest at home: warm hospitality, quality products, and cheesecakes made with care.

Made to
come back to.
Our mission is simple: to make a cheesecake worth coming back for. Something familiar, but done our way. We focus on what matters: good ingredients, care in every step, and getting the texture just right. No shortcuts. Just cheesecake, made properly.
Visit us at our two locations in Amsterdam: Centrum and Jordaan.

The San Sebastian cheesecake was absolutely delicious, and the coffee was great as well. Everyone working there was very kind and welcoming.
The café was spotless, and you can actually watch the desserts being made. I also noticed that the chefs were wearing hairnets, which showed they really care about hygiene. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely visit again. -
