Eli’s Cheesecake is a family-owned bakery based in Chicago that specializes in natural dairy cheesecakes and desserts. The company emphasizes slow-baking in small batches and uses high-quality ingredients, with all products handmade at Eli's Cheesecake World on the city’s northwest side. Its Chicago roots trace back more than 75 years to founder Eli Schulman, whose early restaurant on the West Side helped develop the signature cheesecake recipe. In the Chicago-based food and beverage manufacturing sector, Eli’s serves both consumers and partner venues while supporting local farmers and small businesses. Recent developments include the introduction of a Cheese Board line and a co-branded airport concession with Home Run Inn in Terminal 1. The company has demonstrated its manufacturing capabilities with large-scale projects, such as a 1,000-pound cheesecake launched in 2023.
