What is the Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert Cup?
The Strawberry Cheesecake Dessert Cup is a single-serving layered dessert made with cheesecake filling, strawberry sauce, and cookie crumb. It sits alongside the cakes we make in-house daily at New Level Coffee & Bakery.
Three layers, three textures. The cheesecake filling is the cool, soft center of it. The strawberry sauce brings the bright, fruity edge that keeps the whole thing from reading as plainly sweet. The cookie crumb gives your spoon something to push through, so it isn't creamy the whole way down.
Because it's built in a cup rather than cut from a cake, every spoonful carries a little of each layer. That's the real difference between this and a slice of cake: a slice gives you one component at a time, and the cup gives you the whole idea in a single bite.
What coffee should you order with it?
A cappuccino is the natural pairing. The milk rounds off the tartness in the strawberry sauce, and the espresso underneath holds its own against the sweetness of the cheesecake filling — cappuccino also happens to be one of the drinks Google reviewers mention most when they write about us.
If you'd rather have less milk in the way, an espresso or americano gives you a clean counterweight instead, and on a warm Pompano Beach afternoon an iced latte does the same job cold. The full list of espresso drinks lives in the coffee section of our home page.
"I stopped there just to grab a quick coffee, and now I honestly have a hard time drinking coffee anywhere else! The flavor is smooth, rich, and never burnt." — Nataliia, Google review
Dessert cup or cake by the slice?
Pick the cup when you want something cool and spoonable, and a slice when you want dessert to last a bit longer. If strawberry is what brought you in but you'd rather have cake, the Strawberry Cake is sold by the slice.
Everything in the case is made in-house daily: Honey Cake (medovik), Napoleon, Pistachio & Raspberry, Chocolate & Blueberry, Snickers, and Honey & Raspberry. Any of them can stand in as the sit-down version of the same coffee-and-dessert visit.
Can you take the dessert cup with you?
Yes — New Level Coffee & Bakery does both dine-in and takeout, so the dessert cup can stay with you at a table or leave with your coffee.
A cup travels a little more gracefully than a plated slice, which is part of its appeal if you're heading back to the beach, to the office, or home with a coffee in your other hand.
What if you're not having coffee?
If you're skipping coffee, go cold and tart. Fresh Lemonade or Lime & Mint Lemonade cuts through the cheesecake filling the way the strawberry sauce does, only sharper, and Iced Tea Premium is the quieter version of the same idea.
An Iced Matcha Latte is the other direction — creamy and grassy next to the fruit instead of cutting against it. The rest of the cold list, including Peach and Mandarin Lemonade, is on our lemonades and cold drinks page.
