> Cherry Shuler opened Cherry's Cheesecakes & Delights' brick-and-mortar location at 111 N Harrison Ave in 2023 after three years in business, bringing her extraordinary menu of over 160 different cheesecake flavors to Old Town Lafayette. What sets Cherry's apart is Shuler's unique background pairing cheesecakes with wines and craft beers in Virginia and Napa Valley, which inspired her extensive flavor repertoire. Her passion for cheesecakes began during her freshman year at Florida State University when she discovered making homemade versions was more economical than store-bought options. Beyond her signature cheesecakes, the bakery offers vegan and gluten-free options ('Because I have allergies, I love my vegan and gluten-free people'), plus Southern-inspired treats including kolaches, cinnamon rolls made from a family recipe, pies, and barbecued meats prepared in-house every other Saturday. The Front Range's only dedicated cheesecake bakery has become a beloved community gathering spot in Lafayette.
