Cakes, Mini Cakes & Cheesecakes

From slice cakes to handheld mini cakes, these are some of the desserts people ask for. Fresh rich layers, fruit-forward bakes, real cream cheese frostings, country-style cheesecakes, house pastry creams, and seasonal flavors built around natural fruits, special spices, and authentic homemade fillings.

Some are elegant enough for after lunch or dinner or for a celebration, others are easy to grab with coffee or tea, and all of them are made the Kat’s way: lovingly, skillfully, and from scratch.

Pies, Strudels & Old-World Sweets

Kat’s sweet side also leans into the old-world traditions that shape the rest of the menu. House pies, mini pies, apple and poppyseed strudels, chruściki, and other European-style sweets bring classic comfort to the dessert case.

Some desserts are regular favorites. Others are seasonal, holiday-inspired, or made for special weekends and events. That changing mix is part of the fun—you may come in for one thing and leave with a new favorite.
