New Yorkers know everything. I am from New York so I know that is not true – unless, of course, we are talking about cheesecake.
Some things I know about cheesecake:
• New York Cheesecake is the best cheesecake in the world.
• All New Yorker’s mothers makes the best cheesecake in the world.
• My mother made the best cheesecake in the world.
• You too can make the best New York Cheesecake in the world.

What we do

No secrets, no magic.
From the start our aim was to serve authentic New York Cheesecake. That’s what we did...that is what we still do. Over the years, Papa Jon's has grown and most all of our baked goods are developed from old family recipes with the conviction “Quality and flavor first”.

Our Cafés
Papa Jon's Cafés are comfortable, “clean and well lit”, full service cafés where kimono-clad princesses, gussied up cowboys, mother’s with sleeping babies, Botswanian flutists, unemployed carnies, .... and yes, mimes too, are welcome.....no wait.......... no mimes.

From the Kitchen

作り手の想い

This is the art of the baker.

Papa Jon’s Story

In 1985 we opened Knuckles, a small cafe and sandwich shop in North Kyoto. The menu was a list of the foods I most missed from home. These included New York deli sandwiches, my family’s Italian American home cooking, and notably my mother’s New York cheesecake.

It turned out that I was not the only homesick expat in Kyoto, and Knuckles became a haven for resident and traveling foreigners longing for “a taste of home.” New York cheesecake was the most popular item on our menu and in October 1990, exactly five years after starting Knuckles, we opened Papa Jon’s our first cheesecake specialty café.

Now as we enter our 30th year in business we have three Papa Jon’s Cafés. A continually evolving cake repertoire, and plans for the future.
