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.

Shortbread Cookie Crust

Our cheesecake is baked on top of a giant all-butter shortbread cookie! It's like two desserts in one.

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.
