Located at 274 Eastchester Drive in High Point, Savor the Moment Dessert Café offers cheesecake treats and coffee drinks from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday-Sunday. There is limited seating inside and out. Online ordering and catering are available as are premium memberships with monthly discounts.
Operated
by the same folks who own Savor the Moment Bakery in Greensboro, the High Point
branch offers a somewhat different concept. The focus here is on customizable
stuffed cheesecakes, so don’t come looking for cakes or cookies. It’s a premise
that may have a more limited appeal, but it also offers something different.
The
stuffed cheesecakes are essentially cheesecake slices covered in a crispy shell
and topped with whatever fruits, sauces, and crunchy things you desire. A la Coldstone,
you can customize to your heart’s content or choose from more than a dozen
preset options. There are also minis and cake sundaes/parfaits as well as hot
coffee.
At $8.95
for most of the offerings, the stuffed cheesecakes aren’t cheap, but if you
have the calories to spare, they are worth it. I went with a cherry pie (graham
cracker shell topped with cherry pie filling) touched up with white chocolate
and Oreo pieces. The cream cheese cheesecake base is dense and a bit tangy, but
the toppings provided plenty of sweetness. There was also a very satisfying
textural balance between creamy and crunchy.
Savor the
Moment offers a clean, well-appointed, open space, and the folks who work here
are kind. If and when the business grows, it could do with more seating (and more days open),
but for now, it’s a welcome weekend treat destination.
