Why Choose Eli's?

We’re Eli’s Cheesecake – a Chicago-born, family-owned business devoted to hand-crafting the best cheesecake in the world and making life sweeter for you and your family. We promise you: It’s the best cheesecake you’ll ever have. That’s because we only use the best ingredients, and the most important one is our people. From our pastry chefs to our cake decorators to our retail associates and buyers, we believe in “treating the other as if they were the other,” as Eli always liked to say. For us, it’s always been as much about creating meaningful opportunities for our associates and the community as it is about making delicious desserts.

Chicago-Style is Eli's Invention

Dry Hot Bake

Eli broke all the rules! No water bath and a dry hot bake resulted in the most beautiful carmalized cake with a rich and creamy interior.

All-Butter Shortbread Cookie Crust

Did you know that our cheesecake is baked on top of a giant cookie! Our cookie bakers work through the night, baking off the most delicious, buttery shortbread, which becomes the crust of our cheesecake.

The best vanilla

We use only the best cold-extracted vanilla from Nielsen-Massey, a fellow family-owned business made in Illinois.

Really good dairy

We use slow-cultured cream cheese and sour cream, plus fresh creamery butter. That signature cultured tang is balanced with just the right sweetness, because we'd never use sugar to mask really good dairy.

Hand-Decorated

From frosting layer cakes to swirling cheesecakes and enrobing our Cuties and Dippers, our team of decorators are true artists.

Like Father, Like Son, Like Daughter

Three Generations of Family, Baking with Love Since Day One

We couldn’t be prouder to carry on the traditions of our founder Eli Schulman, by baking up great desserts and following his golden rules: “Charity will never bust you,” and “Treat Others as if you were the other.” It’s an honor to share our family’s treasured cheesecake recipe and other sweet treats with you. We hope you love them as much as we do!
