CONCEPT & OFFER.

What is SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE?

SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE is an exclusive, artisanal premium cheesecake maker based in Munich. Founded by Stephan Schmidt in 2020 as a social media project, he taught himself the craft of baking through travel, further training, and a special permit. Years of dedicated community building led to the opening of his first dedicated store—focusing on New York cheesecake creations combined with a modern, urban aesthetic.

What does SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE sell?

New York Cheesecake. Reimagined. Handcrafted. The focus is on cheesecake creations in New York style and a modern interpretation. The cheesecakes are offered both as a classic whole cake version for sharing, as well as in limited pop-up sessions in the form of special individual shapes with changing, seasonal flavors.

Is there Japanese or Basque cheesecake, too?

Their core specialty is New York-style cheesecake with a crunchy crust. Fluffy Japanese cheesecakes and dark-baked Basque cheesecakes are also delicious, but while they aren’t part of the standard lineup, they may occasionally appear as surprise seasonal specials.

Are SCHMIDT CHEESECAKEs lactose-free, gluten-free, and/or vegan?

Not everyone, but the goal is to let everyone enjoy the cheesecakes. The SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE recipe developed is a well-thought-out and also suitable for lactose-free, gluten-free and vegan options. Please simply indicate this request when placing your order.

ORDERING & PICKUP.

How can I order a SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE?

The easiest and most exclusive way is via the exclusive WhatsApp concierge service. Through it, you can request and pre-order your desired cheesecake for your preferred date. Alternatively, you can secure your slices on-site during the announced pop-up sessions – always while supplies last.

Can I also order individual pieces?

Unfortunately, the sale of individual items is not possible for logistical reasons. For larger orders, we would be happy to create a custom selection from our patisserie. Our concierge service is available for a personal consultation.

Is there a fixed selection and price list, or can I make specific requests?

The goal is to fulfill individual requests. There is a core range of classic New York-style cheesecakes, regularly complemented by seasonal specials and toppings. You are welcome to submit individual requests (e.g., for special occasions) at any time via the WhatsApp concierge service.

Where and when can I pick up my order?

Pick-up takes place directly at the STUDIO40 workshop at Waldfriedhofstraße 40, 81377 Munich. The exact pick-up time will be arranged with you individually and flexibly when you place your pre-order via WhatsApp.

Does SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE offer delivery?

We currently offer orders exclusively for personal pickup by individual appointment at STUDIO40, located at Waldfriedhofstr. 40, 81377 Munich.

Which payment methods are accepted?

To ensure the pickup and pop-up processes are as contactless and fast as possible, only cashless card payments are accepted (debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). For pre-orders, you will be informed of the payment options in advance.

OPENING HOURS.

Can I drop by the shop spontaneously at any time?

Unfortunately, spontaneous visits for direct purchases are not yet possible in the daily routine. Each cheesecake is handmade from scratch; consequently, the STUDIO40 workshop opens its doors for sales exclusively during special pop-up sessions. Custom orders and scheduled pickups are exceptions to this rule.

What are the opening hours?

The concept does not operate on standard daily opening hours. Specific time slots for picking up pre-orders and dates for exclusive pop-up sessions are always communicated via digital channels or directly to you.

Will there be standard opening hours?

The artisanal production concept is deliberately designed around freshness, exclusivity, and predictability in order to prevent food waste. Consequently, there are currently no plans for standard, continuous café opening hours. Any changes to this will be announced promptly.

Can I enjoy my SCHMIDT CHEESECAKE at the shop?

STUDIO40 in Munich-Sendling is primarily a production workshop with an adjoining pop-up patisserie. Currently, there is no traditional café seating area with table service; all cheesecakes are intended for takeaway and enjoyment at home.

Is coffee (to go) available?

The focus is on New York cheesecakes.
Specialty coffee from ALRIGHTY is available for takeaway during pop-up sessions and designated pickup windows.

CONTACT & NEWS.

Where can I find up-to-date information, including details on the pop-up sessions?

You can find updates and dates for upcoming pop-up sessions, as well as behind-the-scenes glimpses, on the website and the @schmidtcheesecake Instagram channel. It is worth checking back regularly, as the sessions often sell out quickly.
