Eli's Cheesecake

Dedication. This word means a lot to us at Eli's Cheesecake. For almost two decades, we have been dedicated to providing our customers with products and services that live up to the name "Chicago's Finest." When my father Eli Schulman decided to create a special dessert for his restaurant so many years ago, he couldn't have realized how famous that dessert was going to become. Using the finest ingredients, an innovative recipe, and a lot of love, he developed a cheesecake so delicious that his customers demanded more.

At Eli’s that means everything from coming up with the perfect recipe and selecting the finest ingredients to hand-decorating and staying up all night to bake our crisp all-butter cookie crusts. Eli Schulman believed baking was an art. So when he created the very first Eli’s Cheesecake as the signature dessert for his award-winning restaurant, Eli’s the Place for Steak, a legend for 39 years, his customers proclaimed it “Chicago’s Finest.” With the same care and dedication demonstrated by Eli himself, The Eli’s Cheesecake Company, a family owned business, has been baking up delicious cheesecakes and other desserts since 1980.  At Eli’s, we slow bake our cheesecakes in small batches, taking the time to allow our ingredients to develop to their optimum flavors…the key to achieving Eli’s unique taste and texture. Eli’s prefers using regional ingredients from local farms and producers who share Eli’s commitment to quality.
