Handmade cheesecakes on menu at new North Myrtle Beach bakery. Here’s how to get them

North Myrtle Beach will soon get a taste of Grandpa Moustache’s cheesecakes.

Peter Brown makes each cheesecake himself based off of a recipe that has taken 30 years to perfect.

Now, the retired New York City Police sergeant is opening his own cheesecake bakery that will offer his award-winning, handmade dessert as well as rice pudding.

Grandpa Moustache’s Cheesecakes, 3326 Highway 17 S., will have a soft opening on Feb. 1 and a grand opening Feb. 10, Brown said.

The name Grandpa Moustache came courtesy of Brown’s grandchildren. In the children’s attempt to distinguish which grandpa they were talking about, they eventually gave Brown, who does have a moustache, the nickname.

Brown had been selling his cheesecakes since 2013 in New York, as well as providing them to restaurants to sell. But after his retirement, he and his wife, June, decided to move to the South full-time.

At the bakery, Brown’s original cheesecake recipe will be available, as well as other flavors such as key lime, chocolate, butter pecan, Baileys Irish Cream, keto and sugar-free.

Brown’s rice pudding is also handmade and will join the list of sweet treats offered.

For now, the only way to get the cheesecakes will be at the store, Brown said. But he is hoping to expand how people can order them once the business opens in February.
