Val's Cheesecakes

At Val's Cheesecakes, every slice carries a story. What began as a son baking alongside his mother has grown into one of Dallas's most beloved dessert destinations. Founder Valery Jean-Bart started crafting cheesecakes to honor his mom and her love for the dessert, turning grief into something sweet and lasting. Today, our Black-owned bakeshop turns out gourmet cheesecakes that go far beyond the ordinary. We are known for bold, unexpected flavors alongside the timeless classics, and for treating each cake as a small work of art. Our creations have earned national attention, including a feature on NBC's TODAY show, but our heart stays right here in the community that raised us. Step into our South Akard Street storefront and you will find whole cheesecakes, single slices, catering for your next gathering, and even hands-on classes where we share a bit of our craft. Whether you are celebrating a milestone or simply treating yourself on a Friday afternoon, we bake every cake with the same care Valery learned at his mother's side. Come taste why Dallas keeps coming back for more.
