If you’re road-tripping along U.S. Route 1 through Maine and craving something rich, creamy, and unforgettable, you’re in for a treat—you just have to plan ahead. Welcome to Momo’s Cheesecakes, a beloved local business in Ellsworth, Maine, known for serving up legendary, homemade cheesecakes—not by the slice, but by the whole cake.

That’s right—Momo’s is pick-up only. No storefront, no café, no walk-ins. But don’t let that stop you. With a little pre-planning, you can snag one of these locally famous cheesecakes and make your next picnic, family gathering, or Airbnb dessert spread truly special.

Homemade, From-Scratch Goodness

What started in Momo’s kitchen back in 1998 has become a Downeast Maine staple, with fans returning year after year. Each cheesecake is handmade in small batches, using real ingredients and Maine love. The menu rotates, but favorites like Lemon Raspberry, Salted Caramel, Blueberry, and Chocolate Peanut Butter are always in demand.

They also offer mini cheesecakes and seasonal specials, and their website makes it super easy to order ahead and schedule a pickup at their Ellsworth location.
