One of the men took a cheesecake from the display cabinet in the shop’s front as another went to the back into the refrigerated room.
He began sifting through the different varieties, appearing to be searching for a specific flavour.
The man took seven wildberry and marble flavoured cheesecakes from the back room before running out to meet his partner and fleeing.
The husband and wife who own the shop told 9News they are considering closing after five robberies in six years as they live in fear of another.

‘It’s our livelihood, my kids work here, we have a lot of our juniors working here… it means everything to us,’ Warren Perera said.
Authorites believe the robbery may linked to another that happened at a hairdressing store.
Thieves broke into the Mt Eliza premises and stole clothing, cash and hair care items.
