Cleveland is one sweet city. Not only are we home to some of the friendliest people in the nation, but we also uphold flavorful traditions throughout The Land. No matter which neighborhood you wander into, you’re sure to find a bakery that serves up one particularly dynamite item. If it’s cheesecake you’re craving, you should look no further than this neighborhood just south of Downtown Cleveland.
Old Brooklyn is a charming community with a long history on the west side of town.
The first European settlers arrived in what is now this neighborhood in 1790. Shopping districts and plazas popped up all over this community following World War II, and they hide some of the neatest dining and shopping hot spots in all of Cleveland.
For more than 25 years, one of the most coveted pastry shops in Old Brooklyn has been Slices Fabulous Pastries.
Why visit a fancy restaurant and buy this delicious cake by the slice when you can treat yourself to a whole cake?! This shop serves businesses and individuals alike, and everything is made to order.

While you’ll find plenty of different pastries here, Slices was made famous by their cheesecake, which is some of the most exotic in Cleveland.
You'll find mouthwatering flavors like Peach Schnapps, Orange Creamsicle with a Chocolate Crust, and Rainbow Sherbet on the menu. Come with a flavor in mind—fruity, chocolatey, or perhaps even seasonal flavors like pumpkin and egg nog—because their selection has the power to overwhelm you.
Chocolate Cheesecake is adored by visitors of all ages, and Lemon Chantilly is always an elegant treat following any dinner.
The founder of this lovely little sweet shop draws influence from the Mediterranean style of cooking from the Island of Crete, which she learned in her mother's kitchen.
Efty R. Simakis grew up around great flavors, and she learned to further enhance them when she delved into the local commercial food business at the young age of 13. It was here that she was further exposed to French cuisine, particularly in the art of crafting the culture’s famously delicate pastries.
With everything made from scratch daily and utilizing the finest of ingredients, Clevelanders can't help but return to this shop again and again.
It's no wonder this shop has delighted visitors for more than two decades. Real chocolate, real butter, genuine whipped cream, and all sorts of delicious ingredients will tantalize your taste buds.
Any way you slice it, these goodies will make you fall in love at first bite.
As everything here is made to order, remember to provide at least 24 hours notice to the staff before you order that birthday cake.
Slices Fabulous Pastries is so close to home that you just have to give it a try. The bakery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information on this delicious destination, including a full list of the flavors offered here, visit the Slices Fabulous Pastries website.
