I found these guys as one of the vendors at the Taste of Chicago food festival. I helped my sister move to Chicago since she accepted a job there and me along with my folks decided to check out the food festival to see and sample all the different kinds of food they had there. I had the turtle cheesecake... More

We decided to go directly to Eli's instead of having it at a pizza place in Chicago. At the place it was over $5 a slice and at Eli's it was $3-4 for a slice. The best cheesecake I have ever had. We had hoped to make the tour but could not make it at 12:30. From the reviews it... More

No tour available for today but that didn't stop us from going. Well worth the drive!!! We arrived in time for lunch and thoroughly enjoyedhad the fresh roasted turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce and Parmesan mayo, which came with a slice of cheesecake in the flavor of our choice! Darn good lunch for $6.95! They had three samples to taste... More

We were in the Chicago area so we added this to our itinerary. We got there early so we bought our tour tickets ($3 per person) and had lunch in their cafe. They offered various hot and cold sandwiches, fruit cups, soda, etc., and of course, lots of different flavored cheesecakes plus a few other desserts. The lunch was very... More

Went to Eli's a few days ago and it was great. They are extremely generous to offer you multiple samples. They have pretty much every flavor and type of cheesecake you can imagine. If you don't mind a dented cake or slice, they have damaged items heavily discounted. The staff was friendly and they have extra food and drinks to... More

Do not go to Eli's if you expect a tour. We paid our $3 per person and then were told to sit in the "cafe" for the tour to start. The one tour a day starts at 12:30 pm. A gal named Madge gave a 30+ minute slide show of how much cream cheese they use, how much sugar, etc.... More

Really nice they offer more than just cheesecake; great place to stop at for lunch. The Cuban sandwich was delicious, but it was not part of the regular menu. Over $9 for it and a drink seems like a bit much to me, though.

We went to Eli's just to go on the tour. They start with a video and some general info. Then we got to stand near one production line - that day they were assembling tiramisu. It's not really a tour - which is probably fine for most people, but I'm really into seeing the whole factory. There are people there... More

Eli's Cheesecake World is a fun little stop if you are a dessert lover like me. It features a small cafe where you can order lunch or a piece of dessert. But what makes this place really great is the tour they offer, and the discounted cheesecakes you can buy to take home. A tour is given every weekday at... More
