Our Story

Founded in Alameda in 2021, Crazy Block Cheesecakes grew through farmers markets and local pop up events throughout the Bay Area.

We use Grandma’s recipe for OG NY Style Cheesecake, and make our Graham crackers from scratch. We source local dairy from the happiest cows in the world at Sierra Nevada cheese farms. Our eggs come from local Petaluma egg farms, the craziest chickens in the world.
