Beloved Smithdown dessert shop Dafna's Cheese Cake Factory due to reopen

A popular and long-running dessert shop is due to reopen after a lengthy closure.

Dafna's Cheese Cake Factory has been a firm fixture in Liverpool for decades, amassing a devoted customer base keen to get their hands on its extensive range of sweet treats, cakes and desserts. It first opened in the autumn of 1977, by Anne Lev. Anne retired in October 2019 after 42 years behind the counter, but her legacy continued with the shop being taken over by manager Helen Bond.

In August 2022, the Dafna's team confirmed the venue would be temporarily shutting up shop until the new year. This was due to needing to "carry out some extensive behind the scenes refurbishment works" to its shop and kitchens, "including completely overhauling the electrics and plumbing".
