Eli's Cheesecake at O'Hare Airport

There’s only one vegan option and I’d describe it as being more like a brownie than cheesecake. You definitely pay a premium for a mini piece of brownie here, but it’s delicious and is great if you need a rich chocolate fix. It’s definitely a 3.5 given the taste / value.

This location does NOT serve ice cream or gelato as represented elsewhere.

Stopped in to grab a sweet treat and was served the tiniest thinnest slice of cheesecake I’ve ever seen. It was $8 USD plus tax and the slice didn’t even occupy a third of the container it was in. It was pre packed in the container and looked very dried out. The cheesecake itself tasted okay but certainly not worth the cost even for airport pricing. These should be advertised as a cheesecake bite.

Belgian chocolate cheesecake is worth the walk to this gate! Smooth and rich and super chocolate flavor They keep it frozen but it softens quickly Updated from previous review on 2024-07-24

I tried the original cheesecake, which was delicious! It was very creamy and soft. The size of the slice is relatively small though for $5.99 plus tax (compared to other comparable cheesecake slices). This cheesecake is not just sweet, but has a tinge of sour tartness and maybe even a slight hint of salt. Overall, great cheesecake.

i was interested to get this and try a chicago-style cheesecake, and it seemed like a lot of locals like this placeTaking a bite, it was clear this was pretty different from the dense, cream-cheese filled New York Cheesecake I was used to from Junior'sInstead, this was more light and airy in comparison - more resembling a traditional cakeHowever, it wasn't quite light as a normal cake - as this was kind of like a middle ground between the twoas I mentioned, it's different from the New York Cheesecake in that the inside is a lot creamier than it is densealso, there isn't really that slight sour taste that would otherwise be presentanother difference is this crust (at least in my case) was baked with a cookie crust, rather than the traditional graham cracker crusti really liked this cheesecakethe inside is pretty fantastic - despite not having the 'full cheesecake' flavor - it still does really taste great. it's super sweet and has a great soft texturethe other part of this I really liked was all the extra cookie flavoring on this specific sliceOreos and the chocolate drizzle are incorporated really well to create a great flavor mix between the cheesy inside and the bits of cookie and chocolate throughoutI especially loved the topped Oreo on top of the cakeI will say the price is pretty expensive (nearly 7.5 dollars) for a pretty small slice of cake - so probably not worth it to get againOverall, quite good and a new cheesecake experience. 8.75/10

Cheesecake so hard it broke the plastic fork.

In an airport, especially after security, you have to take what you get, in here they had one brownie vegan Cheesecake at 7$.

+$7 for a ridiculously small cheesecake slice is greed even for an

Pure trash, if you want frozen flavorless cheesecake this it it. I’m a huge cheesecake fan but this isn’t the one. The richness wasn’t there, there was no crush flavorless batter. Would not recommend this to anyone.

The woman at the register was very nice. I had a ham and cheese sandwich, an apple and turkey wrap, and a plain cheese cake. Maybe sandwiches are not from Eli's, but they all had weird chemically taste. Hands down the worst airport food ever

Delicious and good value. Only $6.99 a slice.
