Cheesecake etc., Dessert restaurant in South Granville, Vancouver, Canada
Cheesecake etc. is a dessert restaurant in South Granville that serves light, crustless cheesecakes in three main flavors: original, chocolate, and matcha. Portions can be personalized with optional toppings and whipped cream.
The restaurant opened in 1979 after the founders Mike and Edith Sims spent two decades performing jazz in venues across the world. Their long musical career shaped the house concept from the start.
The place combines dessert service with live jazz performances, reflecting the musical passion that shaped its founders over decades. Visitors experience a setting where music and food exist equally alongside each other.
The restaurant is located on Granville Street and opens daily from 7:00 PM onward, with no reservations required. Visitors can simply drop by and use whatever table is available.
Each cheesecake follows a secret family recipe that was developed during private dinner parties before the restaurant opened. These roots give every dessert a personal story that is older than the business itself.
