As Wimbledon fever returns to London, authentic Basque cheesecake specialist La Maritxu is celebrating the iconic tennis tournament with the return of one of its most popular seasonal creations.
From 29 June to 12 July, the London bakery will serve its limited-edition Strawberry Cheesecake, inspired by Wimbledon’s famous strawberries and cream tradition. Available in both mini (£13) and medium (£17) sizes, the dessert combines fresh strawberry flavours with the brand’s signature San Sebastián-style burnt cheesecake.
For food lovers looking to indulge during the Championships, the seasonal offering provides a fresh twist on one of London’s most sought-after cheesecakes.
A Wimbledon-Inspired Twist on an Award-Winning Cheesecake
Founded by Basque baker Lucia Larragoiti, La Maritxu has built a loyal following for its authentic Basque cheesecakes, known for their caramelised tops, crustless design and ultra-creamy centres. The traditional dessert originated in San Sebastián and has become a global food phenomenon.
The limited-edition strawberry version adds a quintessentially British summer flavour to the classic recipe, making it a fitting accompaniment to Wimbledon viewing sessions.
Visitors can find the seasonal cheesecake at all four London locations, including Connaught Street, Kingly Court, Greenwich and the recently opened Coal Drops Yard branch in King’s Cross.
Special Wimbledon Finals Package Launches During Finals Week
For the tournament’s final week, running from 6–12 July, La Maritxu is also introducing a Wimbledon-themed bundle designed for tennis fans.
The package includes:
- One 5-inch Strawberry Cheesecake
- Two cans of Pimm’s

The combination brings together two classic British summer staples and offers an easy way to recreate the Wimbledon experience at home or outdoors.
