    Strawberry Cheesecake
    Rob Snow S.

    Taste of Chicago super sample short review: I am grading on what I had, the sample provided...and what the vendor thought would be the catch/draw for their restaurant. This cheesecake was delicious! They really have trapped a ton of flavor and sweetness (not too sweet) with the perfect textures. You get the silky smooth cream on top, with the incredible crunch of the crust. Absolutely would come to the actual location next time I'm in Chicago.

    I was in the area in January this year and heard about this cheesecake outlet. Of course I couldn't resist. They have more than just cheesecakes; they also have other desserts like bars and pies. In January, I got some great cheesecakes at nice prices: * 7" tiramisu cheesecake sampler for $7.75 * 7" best of Eli's cheesecake sampler for $11.75 * 7" candy cheesecake sampler for $8 * Mini chocolate lava cake for $2 * Cuties (cheesecake bites) were 2 for $3 Honestly, it was hard to tell what was seconds because everything looked pretty good to me. There were some frosting/topping bits that might've not been up to par, but flavor certainly wasn't affected. There were also big, catering-size trays of goodies which, if I had refrigerator (and car) space, I would've happily snatched up. I froze the cheesecakes when I got home and thought they tasted great frozen as well (maybe even my preferred method for Eli's).

    I have been a fan of Eli's for several years, but have never personally visited their store. I decided to go for their anniversary celebration that included slender slices of cheesecake for a budget-friendly 43 cents. The limit was 10 per customer, so it's a great deal. I highly recommend making a mental note for their celebration next summer toward the end of July. Obviously, with a deal like that, they were busy, but everything worked well with efficient employees restocking, hosting games and ringing up orders.

    It's a Chicago institution but I would say it's also a national icon by now. Eli's cheesecake is available everywhere here in the Chicagoland area and I'm sure you can also order items online. Family owned, that's really impressive and they're still going strong since it's inception in the 80s. They have strong ties to Lou Malnati's, politics and the rat pack of decades long ago. Everyone has their favorites and I would say the plain cheesecake is really good, with coffee. The lemon bars were decent. The cheesecake slices dipped in chocolate are exceptional, but you have to earn that with a 6 mile run, prior to consumption. They have an unlimited line-up of different types of cheesecake. My suggestion is to try them all and stick to your favorite. FYI, I got a sheet of blueberry crumble bars and maybe those came out of the freezer from 1997? I couldn't eat the sheet so I ended up throwing that out. This was really hard to do because I really value my sweet snacks. Nonetheless, the advantage of coming to this factory/store is that they have awesome sales on items and several items are discounted beyond 50 percent off. The gentleman helping people that particular morning was very attentive and knowledgeable.

    Can someone stop me? I love Eli's. It's like a go to cake place for me. I rather give or bring to a party Eli's rather than buy a cake from a store. It's worth it. When I buy it go full on panicked buying as if the store is closing. I buy 4 to 5 boxes at a time . I go over there at least 1x a month. Love love Eli's.

    Went here during national cheesecake week and the deals were amazing! I got cheesecake slices for 50¢ each and a whole cheesecake for about $8! Eli's cheesecake is creamy and sweet! The store is very open and has a friendly atmosphere to it. The employees are very welcoming and sometimes give away free samples too.

    Was excited to come to the "flagship" shop though the location is really lacking, far from everything and I imagine that's why it was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon. The establishment was very clean and had a wide array of frozen and fresh cheesecakes that I haven't seen at my local grocery store! Even better, they were having some really good St. Patrick's Day sales which offered some of the frozen slices at $1! I'd definitely recommend going online to see their sale calendar and plan your trip accordingly. I've only experienced Eli's with the basic cheesecake flavor. Tried some of the other flavors like strawberry, salted caramel/chocolate and double chocolate. Aside from the fact that they didn't taste too sweet, it all felt like average frozen cheese cake (even the fresh pieces we got from the display case). Prices were excellent with the sale, average without the sale, but overall the eating/flavorexperience was pretty average.

    I received a package notification, I wasn't expecting anything. I go down to the package room and notice that there was a an Eli's Cheesecake waiting for me. WHOA! Comes in dried ice, cheesecake is frozen and was packaged nicely. I received the 8" Sampler Cheesecake. It's 3 small slices of original cheesecake, 3 small slices of their Turtle flavor, 3 small slices of the White Chocolate Raspberry, and lastly 3 small slices of Apple Streusel. All the flavors were very good, my personal fave would be the apple streusel flavor. Cheesecake was very good, quite creamy, more on the lighter side, not the thick cheesecake style. I kept the cheesecake in the freezer but allowed it to defrost in the refrigerator for a full day before I dove into it the following day. When I used to live in the Midwest and a short train ride to Chicago, I honestly never heard of Eli's Cheesecake before, but glad I got this sampler in the mail to try this. Very good cheesecake, and would recommend this and a good option to send as a gift. Can't wait for another package notification!

    Eli's Cheesecake is very good. They make great gifts. We've gone through two Celebration Samplers (via Tastes of Chicago; thank you, Tom E). The Celebration Sampler is an 8-inch cheesecake that comes with four flavors (two slices of each flavor). I'd rank them as follows: 1. Original Plain 2. Apple Streusel 3. White Chocolate Raspberry 4. Turtle My wife disagrees with me and would probably place Turtle higher and move Original down the list. All of the flavors are yummy; I just prefer plain cheesecake. Generally, all of the flavors are rich, smooth, and creamy with a nice, buttery crust. This is high-quality cheesecake. The product arrives looking just like the advertised photos. It also looks just as good as it tastes. It will make you happy. Tastes of Chicago charges $68.99 for two samplers ($34.50 each), UPS standard shipping included. Four samplers are $102.99 ($26.25 each). We got each of our samplers as part of a pizza-ribs-cheesecake combo ($94.99 per combo). Eli's has been around since 1980. They hand-make and slow-bake their cheesecakes in small batches. They also decorate them by hand. You can order a wide variety of Eli's cheesecakes and other desserts, shipped to anywhere in the US, at https://shop.elicheesecake.com/. You don't necessarily have to go through Tastes of Chicago. If you've never had Eli's Cheesecake before, I recommend it.

    This is my absolute most favorite bakery. So this is my ode to the bakery and Dom, who is a gem of…read morean employee there. I've been a customer of almost 10 years and have been obsessed since they first opened their doors at a different location. I literally live an hour away without traffic and even longer with traffic, but I make sure to stop by or send someone else to get it for me at least once a month or more. I love the amazing cakes that are so delicious and unique but on top of that, it is Asian owned, LGBTQ supporting, etc. A lot has changed since their little storefront with no seating. The bakery is now a full on cafe and I'm so happy to see how much they've grown and how successful they are. And while it is glorious, I will say I miss the sweet neighborhood charm and great customer service it used to have. Getting in touch with the bakery through phone or text can be tough and to be honest, sometimes one of the people working there is kind of...very mean. It had me questioning if I should keep coming back. I just love this bakery so much though and being raised by parents that had a small food business, I can't help but want to support. I had a particularly difficult last minute request for the bakery a few weeks ago and I was reminded why this place is so great. It had been YEARS since I made this specific request, which was an order for a slice of cake for every flavor and a cupcake for every flavor. This is a BIG and time consuming request, especially if it's last minute. Unfortunately I come to the city whenever the traffic isn't atrocious, so it's always last minute. Dom absolutely pulled through though. Even though there were other employees there (I saw two others but one disappeared and then another male was kind of walking around the cafe and such), Dom took this giant request and fulfilled it himself. The other gentleman (not the mean person previously mentioned) was actually who I made the request to, but he told Dom to do it. I was kind of confused why they didn't do it together but idk, maybe the other guy isn't allowed to handle food? Who knows. Regardless, this request obviously took a long time and the line was getting longer; people were getting a little restless but Dom stayed calm but was swift. I swear he was moving faster than most people in the industry could with a cake knife like that. He was not impatient or rude to me at all. He was just there to do his job as fast and well as possible. It's so rare to see that type of work ethic. He is also so obviously proud of the bakery and the food they serve which makes you feel good about being a patron there. So although I continue to have an unpleasant experience with one particular employee there, Dom keeps my love for this bakery alive. He reminds me of what this bakery was like when they first opened their doors. I hope Dom is cherished there and I bet he is considering his work ethic. I will continue to support this bakery and I recommend everyone else to support as well. It may not be that small little shop anymore but Dom is a reminder of the heart of the place.

Seating is pretty limited, but it looked like most folks were picking up pastries to go, but either way you order at the front one party at a time. Truffle Croissant (5/5): A must get, super intense black truffle against a perfectly flaky and chewy buttery croissant. The large bits of pearl sugar add pops of sweetness that I loved. Mango Tart (4.75/5): Mango really shines through with melt in your mouth texture and fruity sweetness. Coconut pasty cream adds almost a nutty flavor and luscious mouthfeel to contrast against the lightly crunchy cookie crust. Prosciutto Croissant (4.5/5): Pastry again impeccable with sharp saltiness from the prosciutto and cheese. Still absolutely delicious, but hard to recommend with how good the other items were. Longanisa Breakfast Sandwich (5/5): Another life changing bite. Hash brown add on is unbelievably crunchy against the egg bite that is pillowy soft and fluffy roll. Longanisa is salty and sweet, just the best way to start your morning. Lumpia (3.75/5): Comes out piping hot and the meat still stays juicy and bouncy. Good, not crazy. Filipino Breakfast with Longanisa and Tocino (4/5): Garlic rice is fluffy, but heavy on the garlic exactly like I love it. Sunny side up eggs were perfectly cooked and the two meats were actually the weakest components, a bit chewier than expected. Chicken Adobo (4.25/5): Chicken has almost a nice char on the outside and doused in a tangy sauce with crispy garlic bits. Tender and juicy, personally preferred this over the longanisa and tocino. Sweet Corn Hojicha (2/5): Only real whiff that we tried. While you could really taste the corn, unfortunately ended up being wayyyy too sweet and I couldn't have more than a sip or two.

(Also, keep in mind that mornings are walk-in only, you can't order the breakfast sandwich online like you can with the pastries, and reservations are strictly for their dinner service.) Stepping inside is a welcome relief from the sun. The interior is modern and light-filled, featuring a gorgeous pastry display at the central ordering counter. The space is tight, loud, and bustling. Which makes sense given the sheer volume of people they serve, so you'll have to try and snag one of the few seats along the edges. Once we finally ordered, the service was incredibly fast. The sandwich came out in less than 5 minutes! It was definitely a good, tasty sandwich, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. Ultimately, while I enjoyed the food and the beautiful space inside, I probably wouldn't wait 45 minutes in the blazing sun to get it again.

I bought 3 and my friend got 2. Calamansi cream + pistachio paste danish was my favorite. The Calamansi cream was the perfect texture and density with a fragrant citrus note. When I took a sip of coffee afterwards it made my coffee taste like I was drinking fresh orange juice. The pistachio is more cake like inside than full paste and isn't too sweet. Flaky dough, soft pistachio center and creamy top with a sharp citrus cut. Peach + raspberry Melba danish. The peaches were soft. I'm not familiar with a Melba dessert but the center of this was almond paste which is not my favorite but if you like almond and tart danish it would hit the spot. Raspberry espresso cream cheese cinnamon roll was a fun fruity twist to a cinnamon roll. Couldn't really tell there was espresso though. Blueberry lime cheesecake danish. I also liked this one because of the lime. It really cuts through the heaviness. The fruits on top were also fresh. They also have one day old blind boxes. I grabbed a 6 piece day old box to go and it was actually 6 different pasteries, half sweet and half savory! It only repeated 1 of the pasteries I had originally tried so I'm excited to try more, especially the savory ones. It's an amazing deal if you just want to try a variety of flavors. Tried the Hot dog danish - really good! Upscale pigs in a blanket vibes. The tiny fried are seasoned perfectly and add a fun crunch.

Let me tell you, it was all I hoped it could be and more. The storefront was pretty small with a few tables- between the size, hours, and popularity (they were only open a few days a week and closed at 2pm), I suspected that the shop sold out often. I went on a weekday and there was still a good selection of pastries left around 11am. The staff was super nice and helpful as I struggled to make a decision. They shared that the strawberry milk croissant was their bestseller, so I opted for that. It was filled with fresh strawberry mascarpone and fresh strawberry puree. Despite the croissant's decadent appearance, it was not at all too sweet. I'm not typically the biggest croissant fan (I know, I know, no one is perfect) but this pastry blew me away. The filling was super generous without overpowering the delicate dough, which was baked to crispy perfection. Sadly, I don't get to the area often, but I will 100% be back asap to try more of the menu. Run- don't walk to pay a visit!

I will be returning to Sugar Moon next time I'm in Chicago. Wait for me, my love.

    Inside of Sweet Brioche ($5.50) - cara cara orange & passionfruit filling. It's nice: the dough is rich and chewy.

    Our experience with Bittersweet Bakery was exceptional from beginning to end. We ordered our…read morewedding cake from Bittersweet, and they made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. The cake tasting was a wonderful experience, giving us plenty of delicious options to choose from while helping us create the perfect cake for our special day. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. They kept us informed every step of the way and worked directly with our wedding venue, "Firehouse Chicago", to coordinate the delivery and logistics. Everything was handled seamlessly, and our cake arrived exactly as planned without a single issue. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Bittersweet's professionalism, organization, and proactive approach gave us one less thing to worry about. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service truly stood out. One feature we especially love is that they keep the recipe and design of your wedding cake on file. Every anniversary, they can recreate your wedding cake or a cake in any size you choose. We've continued this tradition, and each anniversary cake has been just as delicious as the original while bringing back wonderful memories of our wedding day. If you're looking for a bakery that is responsive, dependable, and delivers an outstanding product, I highly recommend Bittersweet Bakery for your wedding cake or any bakery needs. They responded promptly to our questions and requests, unlike some businesses that never replied to estimate inquiries. Their customer service and quality were truly exceptional. A heartfelt thank you to Samuel who conducted the Cake Tasting and the entire staff at Bittersweet Bakery for helping make our dream wedding a reality. We will always be grateful and look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with your incredible cakes.

    The pastries at bittersweet will never disappoint. I grew up going to this bakery and the quality…read morehas never wavered. The quiche is always fantastic, and anything out of the pastry case is a must. Drinks are good as well! Such a cozy spot to grab coffee with a friend (or give in to the temptation of snagging a pastry on your way to the brown line)
