Review Summary

Uncle Tetsu is praised for light, fluffy cheesecakes with a delicate, balanced flavor that makes each bite feel special, with original and chocolate flavors getting particular praise. The desserts are described as not overly sweet, with fresh textures and even madeleines noted as moist and filling. They are often seen as great for celebrations or sharing with friends and family, though a few reviews say the original cheesecake may not be their favorite. Crowding and no seating at the store are common logistical notes, along with occasional lines, but service is frequently described as fast and friendly. A nut free sign inside adds reassurance for some guests, and the cakes are said to stay fresh for a while. The place is sometimes described as a hidden gem with a nice ambiance, and going early is suggested to avoid crowds. Overall, Uncle Tetsu's cheesecakes come across as reliably delicious for fans of airy Japanese cheesecakes, despite occasional crowding and logistical quirks.

Loved the cake, freshly cooked & warm from the oven & not too sweet. Packaging was awesome too.
The lady who served us was kind, helpful & polite. Will definitely try again.

I recently picked up a Japanese cheesecake from this bakery for a New Year's celebration, & it was an absolute hit. We decided to take a chance & make it our'first-time' New Year's cake, & it couldn't have been a better choice. The texture was unbelievably light & fluffy, the flavor perfectly balanced, & every bite felt special.

Our guests loved it, & it truly added something memorable to the celebration. Thank you for crafting such a delicious dessert, it definitely didn't disappoint & has earned a spot in our future celebrations.

Love their cakes there to share with my friends & family 🫶 it's a bit hidden the place for where it's located but once you found it, you won't regret to try their sweet there 💕💕💕 it's a very nice ambiance & absolutely love their dessert there ❤?

Japanese cheesecakes at Uncle Tetsu are fluffy, not too sweet & delicious! The person who greets you at the register is always smiling, she's extremely nice & polite. I bring the cheesecakes to family gathering & everyone loves them. Also, fyi, there's a sign inside that says the cakes are nut free.

I love japan because of that cheesecake, it's not the same one you eat in Japan but is almost the same, sorry for the half cake family couldn't wait for me to take a picture they open it & cut it fast, however it's so light & fluffy
You don't feel the sugar at all & I'm not sure if there's any sugar in it , maybe is good for who crave sugar but they are diabetic I said maybe cause you must be sure the amount of sugar in it before you try in case you are diabetic, the muffin are amazing the service everything is nice oh my lord how much I love Japan , I always want to try the Japanese cheesecake on that location but every time I go a huge line waiting to buy so I leave but those time was early & no one so vroom vroom run inside grab a cake & six muffin , the time i got home was three muffin left & half cake gone,

They are quick, & the cake tastes fresh & delicious. My son loves it. So far, I bought like 10 in 3 weeks. Bit expensive for the size, but yeah, the taste matters.

The go to Japanese bakery if you crave for bake soufflé cake. They also offer a few other different pastries but the best is to eat it while it's still warm & out of the oven. Make sure you drop by & try it.

We had a strong craving for cake, so we opted for Uncle's original cheesecake. While ordering, we spotted a deal on madeleines, so we ordered four & received one free. Unfortunately, the chocolate madeleines were quite dry, & the matcha-flavored ones, though a bit more moist, were still on the dry side.

However, Uncle's original cheesecake never disappoints. It's delicate, delicious, & simply melts in your mouth. It's incredibly light, & we could easily devour an entire one without hesitation.
