Our Story

Since 2008, The Cheesecake Company has been a legendary shop in The Hague, dedicated to the art of creating the perfect cheesecake. What began as a small family operation with just three flavors has blossomed into the city's premier destination for artisanal cheesecakes, now offering over 120 unique varieties throughout the year.
Our journey began when founder Maria van der Berg, after years of perfecting her grandmother's recipes, decided to share her passion with the world. Starting with a tiny kitchen and selling at local markets, Maria's cheesecakes quickly gained a devoted following. The demand grew so rapidly that within a year, she opened our first brick-and-mortar location on Torenstraat.


Our Philosophy
At The Cheesecake Company, we believe that the perfect cheesecake begins with the finest ingredients. We use only premium cream cheese, farm-fresh eggs, real vanilla, and seasonal fruits. Every cheesecake is handcrafted and baked fresh daily in small batches to ensure consistent quality and flavor.
We take pride in our commitment to quality and tradition, while also embracing innovation. Our master bakers are constantly experimenting with new flavor combinations, drawing inspiration from Dutch classics, international desserts, and seasonal ingredients. This dedication to both tradition and innovation has resulted in our extensive menu of over 120 flavors, from timeless classics to bold, unexpected creations.
