The Cheesecake Shop Hill Park is a cake shop on Grande Vue Road in Hill Park, Auckland, rated 3.8. It's part of The Cheesecake Shop chain, which started as a single bakery in Rozelle in 1991 and has grown to more than 250 stores across Australia and New Zealand, still making its cakes and desserts by hand in-store rather than shipping them in from a central kitchen. Since a 2023 redesign, many stores have opened up the kitchen behind the counter, so customers can watch the bakers and decorators actually putting each cake together rather than just picking one from a fridge. Despite being a chain, each store runs as its own franchise with its own local suppliers and bakers, which is part of why quality and atmosphere can vary noticeably from one branch to the next. In Hill Park, this store is the local branch of that nationwide cake-shop chain.
