This is a quaint little boutique and bakery combination that has some selective hand made home-goods and a variety of cheesecakes and sweet treats. We stopped in because we were in the area and found the flavors, service and price to all be excellent. The lady explained everything to us, giving us a wide selection of all 15 or so flavors of cheesecake and we grabbed a Dubai chocolate Oreo cheesecake boat as well. Highly recommended if you want a new flavor experience! read more

The cheesecake and mini cheesecakes were fantastic. Our 'triple birthday' celebration was certainly enhanced by the fabulous cheesecakes. We selected the Strawberry Crunch and it was better than any birthday cake I have had in the past. I would certainly recommend Messy Aprons to anyone looking for a unique dessert for their occasion. read more

My fiancee and I were invited to dinner at a friend's house. We wanted to bring something special. I read the reviews on Yelp and chose Messy Apron. When I arrived, a young man cheerfully greeted me and offered to help me find something. He suggested the mini bite cheesecakes. He took the time to tell me about the different flavors and which were the best sellers. WOW! They were a hit at dinner. Each was smooth, creamy, and bursting with flavor. A definite 5 in my book. The young man would also rate a 5 for his customer service. read more

This means you can call the store and place an order for a 6" or 9" cheesecake and it is created per your request. This differs from our mini's as the mini's are not designed to be flavor infused. Everything in our store is made with premium dairy ingredients, bought fresh weekly and made fresh daily for your enjoyment. We also carry gluten free options as well as sugar free.

History

Established in 2012.

Cheesecake was something I always baked with my grandmother. When she passed away in 2012 I was so sad and part of my grief therapy was baking her cheesecake. I created the mini cheesecakes which are our most popular item on the menu. Our story was just beginning and every time we shared our cheesecakes we got more orders & through word of mouth our business has more than tripled. In 2022 we opened a family owned store front in Strongsville where we also have a cute little gift boutique from local businesses.

Meet the Business Owner: Melissa S.

I am happily married of 30 years and a mother of 4 and now a grandmother. I retired from the airline business where I discovered my love of traveling & exploring different places, foods and of course desserts. I love watching football and spending downtime with family and friends. During the summer we like to do some family camping, our favorite place to visit is Kelley’s Island. I truly love creating and sharing my cheesecakes & other desserts with my customers. We are always looking to add to our menu and love changing up our flavors weekly for you to enjoy!

I wanted to try the crêpes, but was too full. The portions are hearty and very reasonably priced. Everything was delicious. The pork schnitzel was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
