Product FAQs:
What is Chicago-style cheesecake?
Eli’s is the definitive Chicago-style cheesecake. In 1980, Eli Schulman declared cheesecake would be the signature dessert for his legendary Chicago steakhouse, Eli’s The Place For Steak. His unconventional fast and hot baking method resulted in the creation of “Chicago-style” cheesecake, caramelized on the outside, creamy on the inside, baked on an all butter shortbread cookie crust. Over 42 years later, we’ve added more delicious sweet treats to the mix, handmade at our bakery in Chicago.
Where is Eli’s Cheesecake made?
All of our desserts are handmade at our family-owned bakery on the Northwest Side of Chicago!
Are your desserts Kosher?
Yes, unless noted otherwise. Our desserts are certified kosher by the Chicago Rabbinical Council. The exceptions are: Irish Cream Cheesecake, Double Marshmallow Crispy Bar, Lemon Mixed Berry Cheesecake, Moscato Berry Tira Mi Su.
