As Muddy Paws Cheesecake owner Tami Cabrera unpacked cake stands to prepare their new location, she reflected on the recent move and the store’s ability to receive more customers.

“We just moved locations, about a mile away from our old location. The most important thing is we can offer our customers more here. We have more retail space. We have more kitchen space. We can bake more,” Cabrera said.

According to Cabrera, Muddy Paws is collaborating with the Nest to have cheesecake available for purchase after Muddy Paws’ regular hours.

“We’ve partnered with the Nest for after-hours pick up. The 2:30-7 p.m. window that we’re not open here, they are open and we can offer more,” Cabrera said.

Cabrera said the move to their new location was influenced by Muddy Paws’ desire to work with and to be near students.

“We’re super excited about working with the Nest, and all the great things that they are doing and working with the students. That’s definitely part of why (we) wanted to move to this area, to be close to the Nest and the students,” Cabrera said.

According to senior Chloe Blodgett, Muddy Paws’ new location made it accessible for her to go there during lunch.

“We left for lunch. We were on our way to the gas station, and we just happened to drive by it,” Blodgett said. “It’s quite convenient since it’s so cheap, and you can get there so fast. It’s a walkable distance too, which is nice.”

Senior Gaidah Azem said Muddy Paws had an inviting atmosphere and delicious cheesecake.

“We went in, and it was really cute. They had all their awards up, and the menu was written out. The cheesecake is really good,” Azem said.

Muddy Paws Cheesecake is open at its new location, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Saturday at 3359 Gorham Ave.
