When the Average Dessert
Just Won't Do...

The Pumpkin Spice cheesecake (https://www.schweetfoods.com/product/pumpkin-spice/151?cs=true&cst=custom) is back! It’s an infusion of fresh pumpkin, well balanced with the right dessert spices! Many are convinced that it’s the best pumpkin cheesecake they’ve ever had. Have it topped with our housemade whipped cream or without. It’s a limited time offer, so order now.

Friday Order Pick-Up
From 2 – 6pm

We recently switched to “delivery only” because we thought that our fans would appreciate at-your-door service. However, several of you protested! You caused an entire fuss about the desire to pick up from our humble dispatch location on Sedgwick Street. So, we are reinstating the pick-up option on Fridays from 2 – 6pm. How it works: Edit the date in the online ordering calendar upon checkout to schedule ahead for fast pick-up service. We appreciate your business 😊

A Crosstown Collaboration:
Schweet Cheesecake &
Bartlesby Icecream

It's soooo good! We’ve partnered again with the amazing Bartlesby’s Homemade Icecream (https://www.bartlebysicecream.com/) for our annual fall Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Icecream infusion. Mastermind owner, Rachel, has done it again by combining her handmade cinnamon ice cream and chewy dark chocolate chips with chunks of our creamy pumpkin cheesecake. It’s a surefire delight! We tell you it's a whole experience. Get there for your fall scoop and thank us later.

Our “Food Truck”
Destination #1:
Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery

NOT your uncle’s food truck…RIDE WITH US.
In 2025 we set out to raise funds for our first food truck. Believing in who we are and what we do, a handful of dedicated believers supported us with their financial contributions and enthusiasm to help us do just that. This truck would be an ambitious investment of time and expense that would further our artisan brand. However, after rethinking the why, time and total costs involved, we re-purposed our intent to create a high quality scholarly food excursion program! First stop: Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery.

Curated Merchandise:
Local Style + Nostalgia

We’ve brought this high quality custom enameled pin back to our shelves, as this series of Chicago-themed collectibles was popular at our brick-and-mortar bakery in the Austin community. The artist has delivered a small run of Red Line and Green Line train pins (https://www.schweetfoods.com/product/sticpin-collectibles/89) that only a handful of Chicagoans will be able to purchase and brag about. Perfect for the gift giving season just around the corner. This is a pick-up item with availability beginning Saturday, 9/12/26.

They Say It's Gourmet.
Let's Count the Ways...

If you’ve ordered as a new customer or Schweet loyalist, you’ve enjoyed one of the freshest and most decadent cheesecakes (this is what customers said). This is because we prepare limited production runs each week to ensure we provide you with the same handcrafted pastry when you order online:

• You can receive same day delivery of your choice from the Original Daily Classics menu. Just reserve online to get placed in the que where only a fixed quantity is available. Once the batch is sold, no additional inventory will be offered for the remainder of the day.
• You can have next day delivery of our specialty infusions like Tiramisu, German Chocolate or Pumpkin Spice.
• You can even pre-order up to 90 days in advance to ensure that your birthday cake, corporate dessert spread or self indulgence is on time for your special day. Use the calendar at checkout to choose a future date and time. Now, that’s Schweet.
