- Grand Traverse Pie Company – 9912 E. Grand River Ave., Brighton, MI 48116
The Grand Traverse Pie Company is a Michigan favorite. While we'd normally order one of their scrumptious pies, for National Cheesecake Day we're diving into their gourmet cheesecakes. Taking traditional cheesecakes to a new level, you can top it with whatever you'd like!
- Marv's Bakery & Meats – 10730 E. Grand River Ave., Brighton, MI 48116
For over half of a century, Marv's Bakery and Meats has served up the sweet and savory staples that every kitchen needs. Their large selection of cakes includes a few tasty cheesecakes. Their New York-style cheesecakes come either plain or topped with fruit and are bordered with a custard-flavored whipped cream. We prefer the Banana Strawberry Cream Cheesecake. This delicious dessert contains multiple layers of banana cake, which are then filled and topped with strawberry cream cheese, and finally, frosted with delicious buttercream.
