While in the Austin neighborhood, I passed by Schweet Cheesecake and decided to stop in. They scored high marks as soon as I walked in. The woman behind the counter was welcoming and conversational. Granted I was the only patron in the cafe at the time, it still made me glad that I had gone in. It just feels nice going into an establishment and feeling like you've had a brief check-in with friends. I bought two personal cheesecakes, one River's Key Lime and one Choc Chip Westside. Because I was saving them to have later throughout the week in small bites, I had a taste of each and don't think I will be buying anyone else's cheesecake for awhile. These cheesecakes are outstanding. If they served coffee or tea, I would have a sit-down and enjoy a few bites of cheesecake on the premises. If my mind serves me correct, they have access to Wi-Fi, so there wouldn't be a need to rush. Out of respect to them, I wouldn't want to bring food into the establishment. In the meantime, I will certainly patron them when I want a dessert other than cake. Next time I go, I will check to see if they bake specialty cheesecakes for birthdays. read more

This is a truly special place in the burgeoning Soul City Corridor. In addition to the excellent cheesecakes, they have a few savory options that one must try: chili and gumbo. read more

My husband's favorite desserts are some of my least favorite. One in particular is cheesecake. I wanted to find a way to get him cheesecake for his birthday without committing to an entire cake and stumbled on Schweet. Schweet had amazing reviews and even better personal and cupcake sized cheesecake options. I ordered an assorted dozen cupcakes for pickup. The team working when I arrived was super nice and while I wasn't in the shop long, it was cute. More importantly, my husband loved the cheesecake as did everyone who tried it. I love supporting local businesses. Not only does Schweet have a great product, they have a great mission. Supporting this black owned business helps provide entrepreneurship workshops and speaking topics to underserved communities. read more

The cheesecake was too crumbly for my personal preference. Had good taste. Not bad overall. read more

This unassuming little shop has the best cheesecakes! Everything I've tried from this shop is delicious - I especially recommend the Key Lime pie cheesecake. Their soups are also great! read more

Ordered a cheesecake for valentine's and needless to say, me and my gf really enjoyed this cheesecake. For me, it was the best cheesecake I've ever had. I can wait to try the other flavors they offer here! read more

This was the BEST cheesecake my family has ever had. Which says a lot, my parents are dessert snobs and they loved it...Cheesecake is my husband's favorite dessert it was his 40th birthday last weekend so naturally I placed an order to try something new, I saw the raving reviews and thought we'd give it a try. (Usually we order our cheesecake from Brooklyn.) Schweet's cheesecake blew the Brooklyn cheesecake out of the water. Ordering and payment was conveniently taken online. I was notified when my cheesecake was ready and I had a handsome and kind gentleman bring the cheesecake out to my car with little to no wait time. Couldn't have had a better experience. I'm only disappointed that my family and I do not live closer, either way we'll definitely be ordering again!! read more

Had some of the mid-size and small cheesecakes at a work event and they were overall pretty good. My favorites were the ones that had fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream as a topping. Although the base cheesecake is solid and I loved getting a small hint of NY-style fresh lemon juice from some of them, I was a bit disappointed that the base for all the ones we ordered seemed to be the exact same. And not that I'm an amazing chef or anything, but the cheesecake itself also didn't seem that far off from homemade, albeit slightly sweeter and maybe nicer looking. I guess that could be seen as a perk as well. The crust on all of them was also the same, and I wish it had been a teeny bit more salt or something to cut the sweetness. read more

When I think of cheesecake, I think of Schweets. It has the perfect amount of sweetness. I love that the strawberry cheesecake is topped with fresh strawberries versus the artificial syrup. I took my FIL there and if Schweets ever opens out of state shipping options, he would be the number one customer. Honestly, this is the only place to buy cheesecake in Chicago. read more

I called on a whim after seeing they had great reviews for their cheesecake. I love supporting small businesses, especially those owned by WOMEN and MINORITIES. Well they did not disappoint. I asked for same day delivery and was lucky that there was delivery available. It was my husband's birthday and he was at work - he's a firefighter. The owner kindly agreed to make the delivery. And when she arrived with the cakes she WAITED patiently for them to return from a run. The firemen and paramedics LOVED the cheesecakes. I had no chance of getting a taste brought home. Delicious, fresh, beautiful cheesecakes obviously made with quality ingredients and pride. This is my new go to place for cheesecakes. It should be yours too! read more

Very nice customer service and cute place!! Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the cheesecake. The cheesecake itself is not as creamy as I expected but the toppings are good. I would prefer flavored cheesecake to match the toppings (chocolate swirl cheesecake to match the chocolate chip topping) It's kind of too plain for me. I still encourage others to visit!! Support! Everyone's taste buds are different. read more

So I googled best cheesecake in Chicago. Among Eli, Cheesecake Factory, Magnolia and several others I found Schweet in an article. I love trying new places so I looked into the location and hours. Let me just say this place definitely has the best cheesecake I've had in Chicago. You have to schedule a pick up or delivery. But it's pretty simple and they respond immediately to inquiries. I purchased The Viola and The Avenue for my daughters 20th birthday. Everyone asked where I purchased the cake because it was their new favorite. The cakes taste fresh and homemade. Definitely a must if you're visiting or live within the city area. read more

Professional and DELICIOUS. I got the mini ones to try and $5 is a steal for how good these are. OMG, even if you aren't a huge fan, these cheesecakes are really good. I grew up on Eli's cheesecake and these slap those in the face. Loved, loved, loved. read more

Amazing tasting cheesecakes. Customer service is top notch. I came from out of town to attend a family member's 50th birthday and decided that I would contribute by handling the dessert. I found Schweet online and stopped by to chat and see what they had to offer. With so much to choose from I decided on a dessert bar. I ordered a regular size cheesecake and 3 dozen mini cheesecakes in 4 different flavors. It was a big hit at the party. People at the party continue to ask where the dessert came from. I tell them Schweets and you cant go wrong.... I will return. read more

This was my second time ordering from here. I got a strawberry cheesecake and the banana pudding. My family LOVED it! There was not one single piece left. Will definitely be ordering for future family gatherings read more

I was on an Ubereats binge, and I came upon this gem. The cheesecake is soooooo darn good! I ordered two MooMoos, strawberry and graham/caramel flavor. The schweetness of the cheesecake itself is perfect. The smoothness is on point, not grainy. Very good vanilla flavor, and very fresh even when I ordered 20 minutes to closing time. I know where my next birthday cake is coming from. Cheers Schweet Cheesecake! read more

I googled best cheesecake in Chicago and Schweets came up. My husband traveled 45 minutes and it was worth every effort to get this cheesecake!. The crust is homemade deliciousness.

The berries were ripe and gorgeous esp for March. You can tell love and craftsmanship went into this cake! Highly recommend. My family wants to try all the flavors! read more

The best cheesecake ever. The staff were also so incredibly friendly! My friend and I drove over an hour to give this Black-owned business a try, and we would come back in a heartbeat. Reasonable prices as well! We ordered 4 different small boxes of cheesecake-- strawberry being our favorite! read more

Delectable! Delicious! Scrumptious! You taste the "home made" immediately. These are by far, the best cheesecakes I've ever had. Visited for the fist time yesterday with a couple of friends. We each bought between 3 and 4 personal size rounds. I expected my 4 cakes to last 4 days. They're gone in 24 hours. Absolutely delicious. My favorites are the Pecan Pleasure, Banana Pudding and the Plain Jane. In addition to great cheesecakes, the service was exceptional. Very professional. Very pleasant. Already looking forward to my next visit. -Terry read more

I ordered cheesecakes for a relatives birthday and was told it arrived but my relatives never received it. I've left several messages and no response. I'm disgusted by this because it had good reviews and the woman seemed so nice in the phone. I want this store to make it right and they can't even bother to return my phone call or text. read more

I don't live in Chicago but I did my research and picked Schweet's. Called to order a cheesecake to be delivered to my son for his birthday. The person who took my order was very nice and the cheesecake was delivered at the specified time. I got a text when my order was in route. I ordered the Avenue and a strawberry MooMoo. So delicious. Thank you! read more

Delicious cheesecake and lovely owners! We have picked up from the store as well as placed an order for delivery and both times experienced great customer service. Best cheesecake and a joy to support a small local business! read more

The cheesecake was delicious and the gluten-free option was a great surprise and welcomed since we had a gluten-free friend. Blueberries were fresh and plump and the cheesecake was not overly sweet or dense. Response and service was quick and easy. I would definitely order from Schweet again! read more

Found Schweet by searching for best cheesecake in Chicago and they did not disappoint!! I didn't just want to get an Eli's or Cheesecake factory, but preferred to support a local bakery.

I wish I had ordered from Schweet sooner! Really fresh ingredients, delicious cake. It was even ready & delivered early. Highly recommend.

It was the day after Thanksgiving and I had a strong craving for cheesecake. The usual spots were either closed or out of cheesecake so we made the trek to Schweet's to give them a whirl. The owners were absolutely lovely and it was some of the best cheesecake I've ever had. I'm looking forward to supporting this small business as long as I can. read more

Cheesecake is one of those foods that can be easy to decipher - it's either really good, or terrible. Chamille & team not only provide the hospitality that any business should exude, but the food matches that energy. You KNOW when love is put into food; and because I taste that love, I will continue to purchase year-after-year. Incomparable. read more

This cheesecake is incredible! Perfect texture and flavor. Not to mention the service for ordering and delivery was top notch. Can't wait to order again. read more

Best cheesecake on this side of the Mississippi. Excellent customer service. Great prices. They will not disappoint.

My husband and I contacted Chamille in December 2019 about providing cheesecakes for our 2/29/20 wedding. Right from the start, she was amazing to work with! She invited us in to the shop for a tasting, and from the minute we tasted those cheesecakes we were sold!! They are homemade from a family recipe, and you can taste the difference! Chamille was so open to our ideas and able to customize our order perfectly to provide the dessert we wanted for our wedding. Always very prompt to respond to my many follow-up emails, and worked together perfectly with our caterer to deliver the cheesecakes so we did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day. Even more exciting to us is that we were able to support a local business for our wedding and Schweet uses a portion of it's profits to provide entrepreneurship courses to others in their neighborhood!! We will definitely be back for anniversary cheesecakes, birthday cheesecakes, holiday cheesecakes, and any other excuse we can find to eat cheesecake!! read more
