Our story

Hi everyone,

It’s Begum, a local North Vancouver mom, originally from Istanbul. I first fell in love with the Basque Burnt Cheesecake back in 2017, and I have loved it ever since. Years later, Norte Bakery started in my home kitchen in North Vancouver, built on that same simple love for one very special cheesecake.

I started baking these cheesecakes for family and friends, sharing a little taste of the Basque Country from my own kitchen.

Last year, my cheesecakes became part of 100+ local families' special moments, celebrations, and gatherings across North & West Vancouver. What began as a small passion quickly grew into something much bigger!

Today, Norte Bakery is proudly baking from a commercial kitchen, while keeping the same homemade care, high quality ingredients, and attention that started it all.

My Basque Burnt Cheesecake is made to be shared, enjoyed, and remembered.
