It is with a bittersweet heart that I announce the closing of Matt&#8217;s Cheesecake Factory and Cafe at the end of April. The building he&#8217;s in is coming down, so it&#8217;s time to move on. If you&#8217;re a devoted fan or a procrastinating first-timer, now&#8217;s your chance to indulge in the creamy goodness one last time. Make haste! Matt&#8217;s doors are open for eat-in and take-out on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 am to 7 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Matt extends his heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported him over the years and hopes to share a final slice (or two) with you before the curtain falls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flashback!<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/matt-braley\/\">Here&#8217;s Matt 17 years ago<\/a> in a report on the opening!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Braleys CHEESECAKES<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/hSTDXFzmwY3r2GEL6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1F Higashi Kego Building, 1-12-5 Kego, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"tel:092-732-8322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">092-732-8322<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/braleys-cheesecakes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/braleys-cheesecakes.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seventeen years ago, I shared the delightful news of Matt&#8217;s Cheesecake Factory and Cafe opening in Kego, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka.
