Los Fresnos Cheesecake Café Sees Thanksgiving Rush
In the heart of Los Fresnos, a small town in South Texas, Robyn’s Cheesecake Café has recently become a bustling hub of holiday cheer. Co-owners Joshua and Veronica Cantu are at the center of this delightful storm, as their cozy café experiences an unprecedented surge in business right before Thanksgiving.
A Sweet Thanksgiving Tradition Emerges
As Thanksgiving approaches, the Cantus find themselves working overtime to meet the demands of eager customers. “It’s been hectic. Of course, a lot of people are down this week,” Joshua Cantu, the co-owner and head baker, noted amidst a bustle of activity. With just a few months since opening their doors, Robyn’s Cheesecake Café has quickly captured the hearts—and tastebuds—of the local community.
The café’s unique offerings have led to over 30 pre-orders for Thanksgiving, showcasing a high demand for their fresh and decadent cheesecakes. The Cantus’ ability to fulfill such orders speaks to their dedication and love for their craft. “It’s very humbling that a lot of people are choosing us for their dessert,” Joshua shared with a grateful smile.
Local Love: Customer Delight
One of the café’s patrons, Isabel Perales, spoke highly of the offerings at Robyn’s Cheesecake Café. Having grown fond of their cheesecakes, she recounted her journey from a reluctant taster to a devoted customer. “It’s really good, fresh made and everything’s delicious. All the flavors are really good,” she affirmed. Perales ordered her husband’s birthday cake from the café this year, as his special day coincides with Thanksgiving.
Beyond the flavors, Perales appreciates the warmth and hospitality offered by the Cantus. “Besides the taste, they’re super friendly, they’re always here ready with the coffee, and they’re always available. Whenever we need something, I message them, and they have it ready,” she said, highlighting the personal touch that sets Robyn’s apart.
Challenges and Triumphs
Operating with just a four-person team, Robyn’s Cheesecake Café faces the challenge of balancing quality and demand. “It’s been a little bit hard to anticipate the amount of orders that we get, especially since we haven’t been open for a year yet,” Veronica Cantu admitted. The café diligently prepared for the holiday rush by stocking up on essential ingredients, ensuring that each cheesecake is crafted to perfection.
Although managing a wave of orders within a limited timeframe poses logistical difficulties, the Cantus approach their work with enthusiasm and an abundance of coffee. “It doesn’t sound like maybe a lot of orders, but when we talk about the process of making a cheesecake, it takes hours,” Veronica explained.
Impact on the Community
Robyn’s Cheesecake Café’s success story echoes broader trends in the Rio Grande Valley, where local businesses are carving out niches by offering unique products and fostering community connections. For valley residents, such small enterprises not only contribute to the local economy but also create spaces for social interaction and support.

As the Thanksgiving rush subsides, the Cantus remain optimistic about the future. They are committed to maintaining the high standards that have won them a loyal customer base. “We’re ecstatic though, and really, really happy with the support that we’ve seen,” Joshua stated, looking ahead with hope and excitement.
In the coming months, Robyn’s Cheesecake Café aims to expand its offerings and reach more residents throughout South Texas, furthering the local impact that has defined their success thus far.
