Meet the Woman Behind Omaha’s Best Cheesecake

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Cathy Alm, the founder of CaroLynn’s Cheesecake, to learn more about her journey and the story behind her incredible desserts. Hear how their cheesecake went from a family recipe to a local sensation.

How Did CaroLynn’s Cheesecake Begin?

The idea for CaroLynn’s Cheesecake started as a way to make extra money for the holidays. Coming from a large Italian family that loves food, Cathy, her mom (Carol), and her sister (Lynn) knew they had to create something exceptional. Their goal was simple:

✔️ Make a dessert so delicious that people couldn’t resist.
✔️ Create something that could be enjoyed for any occasion.

And so, their family’s beloved cheesecake recipe became CaroLynn’s Cheesecake—a name that honors both her mother and sister.

From Craft Fair to Omaha’s Favorite Cheesecake

CaroLynn’s Cheesecake made its debut at a high school craft show in Papillion, Nebraska, on October 16, 2010. Cathy and her family offered free samples, knowing that once people tasted their cheesecake, they would be hooked.

Their marketing strategy worked like a charm! The signature pink boxes caught shoppers’ attention, and word-of-mouth spread like wildfire. After selling out at their first event, they attended the Papillion South Craft Fair the following month—where they sold 75 cheesecakes in just 2.5 hours!

Since then, CaroLynn’s Cheesecake has grown into a local favorite, supplying restaurants and satisfying sweet cravings across the Omaha metro area.

Best Cheesecake in Omaha: CaroLynn’s Cheesecake, a Local Sensation

So, what makes CaroLynn’s Cheesecake the best cheesecake in Omaha? It’s all in the quality and dedication. Each cheesecake is handcrafted using only the finest ingredients—premium cream cheese, fresh eggs, and the perfect balance of sweetness. Unlike mass-produced cheesecakes, every bite of CaroLynn’s Cheesecake is filled with homemade goodness and an irresistible creamy texture.

Why CaroLynn’s Cheesecake Stands Out

Another reason why customers love CaroLynn’s Cheesecake is the variety. From classic New York-style to unique flavors like caramel pecan and raspberry swirl, there’s a cheesecake for every preference. Many locals say that one taste is all it takes to become a loyal fan.

If you haven’t tried CaroLynn’s Cheesecake yet, now’s the perfect time. Whether you’re indulging in a personal-sized treat or ordering a full cake for a family gathering, you’re in for a dessert experience unlike any other!

Justin helped make our military move amazing. He was attentive, professional, and personable. Justin was prompt with showing us all the houses we wanted to see. We also felt we could trust his advice. He pointed out potential problems and was patient as we looked for just the right place to call home. It was great to work with someone who understands the military life and the Omaha area.

Great realtor that really knows the area. We found his advice and candor refreshing. He was able to work with our schedule and got us through to closing in record time. Highly recommended!

Justin has managed a rental property we were in. He did a great job going above and beyond to resolve an electrical issue we had. He had to go back and forth with the warranty company on a dryer and the electrician. He got it resolved quickly with very little input from us. Great guy!

Great rental property manager to work with! He manages our rentals and we very seldom have issues, compared to our previous agent. We LOVE his flat-rate monthly pricing structure! Thanks Justin!

We couldn't have asked for a better realtor! Incredibly accommodating and responsive, always keeping us informed every step of the way. Buying a home from long distance could have been stressful, but Justin made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. As a veteran family, we especially appreciated his knowledge of the VA home-buying process and his commitment to serving those who have served. We highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, hardworking realtor who truly goes above and beyond to help you find your perfect home!

Relocating across the country while on active duty can be stressful, but Justin made the home-buying process effortless. From the start, he understood the unique challenges of a military PCS and went above and beyond what we ever expected. We completed our entire closing remotely, and Justin handled every detail to make it seamless. Even after closing, his support didn't stop. Since we couldn't be there right away, Justin personally installed our garden hoses and set up our automatic sprinkler system to keep our new lawn healthy until we arrived. He also connected us with trusted contractors so we could begin home improvement projects before moving in, saving us valuable time. As if that wasn't enough, he even received one of my vehicles after it was shipped, giving us one less thing to worry about during an already hectic cross-country move. Those aren't things a realtor is expected to do—they're things someone does because they genuinely care about their clients. Justin didn't just help us buy a house; he helped our family make a smooth transition to a new community. His professionalism, communication, local knowledge, and willingness to go above and beyond are second to none. If you're looking for a realtor who will advocate for you, treat you like family, and continue supporting you long after closing day, I can't recommend Justin highly enough. Thank you for Everything you did for our family—we truly appreciate it.

Cannot recommend Justin enough. As first time buyers he patiently walked us through the process along with all of our questions. Being a military family, we had to close sight unseen (nerve racking to say the least), but he ensured every last detail was addressed before we stepped foot in our home. Justin is an expert, well connected in the greater Omaha community, and above all trustworthy .

Justin was an excellent realtor for us. He showed us probably dozens of homes, and was with us and supportive every step of the way. He was there to assist us in navigating when our first deal fell through, helping us deal with the process and some extremely unprofessional agents. He is very knowledgeable and helpful and I cannot recommend him enough, especially if you are military looking to buy in the area, or a veteran looking to find your forever home.
