The secret to making cheesecake that’s light and airy, with a rich and creamy yet feathery texture, is simple and twofold. Low and slow.

That’s according to Thomas Speight, who owns Spokane Cheesecakes with his wife, Gillian. The bakeshop specializes in small, individual-sized cheesecakes. The couple have developed more than 30 flavors of crust and cake combinations – from their signature Mayan chocolate cheesecake with chocolate ganache, Saigon cinnamon, a hint of chile, and dark-chocolate- and-orange-scented crust, to their limón cheesecake with a vanilla-lemon crust.

Open Tuesday – Friday 10am – 5:30pm, Saturday 10am – 5pm
