Story

Momo is Maurine's childhood nickname. Mo is a common nickname for Maureen/Maurine. As an infant, her grandfather called her Mo, and then Maurine's father came up with Momo and it stuck. After living in Japan, when Maurine was 10 years old, the family found out that momo means peach in Japanese. When Maurine was born, she was fuzzy on her shoulders and back just like a peach so it was perfect! The name Momo and logo are very personal to Maurine; she puts her heart into each of these cheesecakes to make them the best. After making cheesecakes out of her home for 4 years, Maurine’s dad, Octavio, came and proposed a food truck. It sounded like the perfect idea and that is when they became the father-daughter dynamic duo. Papa Momo built out the whole food truck and became Momo’s business partner.
