Basque Cheesecake Shop

Freshly baked cheesecake is one of life’s greatest pleasures and we think it’s even more divine when paired with a glass (or bottle—we won’t judge) of velvety Champagne. Yes, cheesecake and Champagne is a match made in heaven and the talented team at BASQUE certainly knows it.

BASQUE is Chirn Park’s gorgeous new specialty cheesecake and Champagne store, which is setting an elevated benchmark for the Gold Coast dessert scene. There's no room for guilt here—we love that you can wine and dine in store in the cake shop-meets-wine store, snag a takeaway cheesecake and bottle of bubbles to bring a touch of luxury to your next event, or simply pre-order a delivery.

Perfect for any celebration or simply to treat yourself, BASQUE’s cheesecakes are some of the best we’ve had the pleasure of tasting; you’ll also find chocolate cheesecake and a rotating selection of baked goods made fresh daily.

Originating from a stall at the HOTA Markets to their very own bricks-and-mortar store in Chirn Park, creative duo Zachary and Laura Guertin are the brains behind BASQUE. Well-versed in both their cheesecake and champagne skills, Laura hails from a previous life as a head pastry chef and Zachary has clocked up over ten years of experience behind the bar—with plenty of bartending awards to prove it. So you know you’re in safe hands when you indulge in Laura’s melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes coupled with Zachary’s Champagne pairings.

The signature burnt Basque cheesecake is made using a traditional recipe from the Basque region and their delectable pairings offer the best from both sides of the border—Spanish cheesecake and a beautiful French Champagne selection. You’ll also find a concise selection of Australian and Spanish drops, carefully curated by Zachary.

The passionate duo believes that there's not much in this world you can’t solve with cheesecake and what you can't solve with cake you can almost certainly solve with Champagne.  

The intimate venue is every bit as tasteful and elegant as you'd expect—the light, white boutique boasts pops of gold and greenery and invites you in to stay, and stay for a while. The venue is also available for function hire, perfect for intimate celebrations.

Let BASQUE help you say happy birthday, thank you, congratulations, and even just ‘because why not?’ in style.
