Dessert
A former physiotherapist who quit to sell cheesecake to go is, on reflection, a completely rational career move. This Salamanca dessert shop stages its namesake cakes like small sculptures: creamy and soft on a butter cookie base, torched to a deep, Maillard-reaction brown. The shop itself is polished enough that you feel faintly underdressed buying a slice. It is, in the nicest possible way, a single-minded place.
