Eli’s Cheesecake

I was walking through the airport and the cheesecakes in the cabinets caught my attention. I am a huge cheesecake lover, definitely one of my favorite desserts so when I saw these I had to stop. After looking at all of the flavors I settled on the lemon mixed berry cheesecake. The cheesecake did not dissapoint. I love that instead of traditional graham cracker crust it was more like a shortbread. The cheesecakes was not too dense and the berry was delicious. The lemon flavor was perfect, a great lemon flavor but not overpowering. The whipped cream on top was a perfect compliment to the cheesecake. The only regret I have is not getting more to enjoy later because as soon as mine was gone I wanted more.

I thought this was a safe idea for a snack, didn’t consider the slice could be so tiny and cost almost $ 7. But it is the airport so need to keep expectations low.

I’m a bit puzzled by the rave reviews. I stopped there and had the chocolate fudge cheesecake. It was dark brown but lacking in any sort of chocolate flavor. It also was missing the tang that cheesecakes are supposed to have.
The «fudge» part or the title lived up to it’s name as the thing had a very sticky and dense texture. It was not, though, what I would call pleasant.
The crust was also long on the brown food coloring and short on the chocolate. It was thicker than the crust on most cheesecakes and very hard to cut through with plastic utensils. I’m not sure what it was made from but it reminded me of wet cardboard.
Overall, I won’t be back. I’ll stick to the cheesecakes at Whole Foods. They are cheaper and have way better flavor.

Tried their classic cheese cake ($ 4.19). This is the cheesiest cheese cake i’ve ever eaten. I isually dont like the base in cheesecakes. But this one was as yummy as the cheese. Ended up licking the fork.

Quick service for amazingly delicious cheesecake. It is all very straightforward. Once you feel the crankiness that air travel seems to magically produce in travelers, try to find the nearest source of sugary delight. For our stopover in O’Hare Airport, Eli’s Cheesecake was it.
You just choose the cheesecake that calls your name (caramel for me in this particular stop), pay for it and bring it to your gate and I dare you to keep that frown you are saving for the airport personnel on your face.
The only thing I did not really like is that they did not have water on tap so we had to buy a bottled water (we have been traveling with our own water bottle to try to be more green when we travel so this thing kind of has become a recent pet peeve). Aside from this, the lady was very helpful and the cheesecake was so delicious.
If you are in O’Hare and in need of a reason for a quick smile, go and forget about your diet and get a cheesecake from Eli’s.

I recommend Lemon Mixed Berry Cheesecake! Lemon zest is refreshing and not too sweet. Perfect dessert for a flight. $ 6.99 a slice.

Their cheesecake is the best cheesecake this foodie has ever tasted. The lady was super sweet and helpful. A great bite to eat while you wait to board your plane. I can’t recommend this place enough. If you have a long layover (or you’re flying united), come to the terminal 1 between gates B8 and B9 and grab slice for your flight or a whole cheesecake to take home :)

3 ½ stars. I was running between terminals and needed to grab lunch to go. I got the Key Lime for dessert which made my flight much more enjoyable.

My company ordered 23 cheesecakes in early December to be delivered as holiday gifts to our clients. The first invoice received was incorrect in a couple of places and I called immediately to correct them. I called three separate times to correct the invoice and never received a new one back when I was told I would. Also, not only were the cheesecakes never delivered, but we never received a notification of the shipping issue. I called the company a few days before Christmas to track the desserts (to make sure they were delivered) and when I asked for a tracking number, there was nothing they could provide. It just so happened that UPS had issues and would not guarantee deliveries that day from Eli’s. The manager I spoke to apologized and was very considerate but she did not follow through with the refund as said ‘would be taken care of’. We also never received a formal apology letter to show our clients, as promised. A month later, still no refund. Letter of apology finally came in the form of email. Unbelievably unprofessional, I would not recommend this company to anyone!!!

The Salted Caramel is to die for!

Even for being at an airport this place blows. If you like frozen cheesecake for $ 5 a slice this place is for you. You will also end up having to pay for a $ 3 water here because they don’t have any cups, never have, never will apparently.

5 bucks for a slice of non-​plain cheesecake — it was good, not great. A little too soft.

Newbie. Dinner, before boarding. The wrap was unexpectedly refreshing. Good stuff! I only ate half, it was more than filling, which made for a perfect snack later. The cheesecake — we got a key lime and a «skinny» original. I say, skip the skinny. It’s a SMALL portion with half the flavor. No kidding, it’s «skinny» because you don’t want more. BUT, when I combined it with my slice of key lime cheesecake, it was manageable. ;p

I love O’Hare and I didn’t know they had Chicago style cheesecake. A little pricey just like everything at the airport. I ordered a raspberry cheesecake with a raspberry gelee on top with a chocolate crust. It was good, not the best ever but I would definitely eat again! Made my flight much better. I would like to go to an actual store it would probably be much better,

Terminal 1 — B
Close to United Airlines gates
If you need a last-​minute item to bring home from Chicago… go to the Eli’s Cheesecake-​to-​Go kiosk by the United Gates — Terminal 1 — B.
I was first introduced to Eli’s cheesecakes… when one of my family members brought a few over from Chicago. I bought three cheesecakes home when I went on a business trip to Chicago. I placed one inside my suitcase (a chocolate chip cheesecake)…and the other two… I had to hand-​carry since I couldn’t tilt it to its side – (in a dark garbage bag) haha — I felt like some sorta criminal because I looked as if I had a small child inside this garbage bag!!! —I checked with the United people right before I got onto the flight to make sure that a large garbage bag was okay to carry onto the plane… and they were cool with it (I was SHOCKED!).
Anyhow, the Tiramisu is yummy… I think it’s as good as… if not better than… cheesecake factory’s.
If you do plan to buy some at the Airport, I’d suggest that you bring a large decent looking bag with you. (Unless they now have larger bags.) — Otherwise… you may feel like some sorta terrorist with a large black garbage bag! =P~~
