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.

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.

I was thrilled when I found out that there are Japanese cheesecakes in Montreal. They are very cheesy & light. We were very pleased 🥰
They also offer tarts & cupcakes. It's a pity they don't have their own seating area; you can only get them to go.

Les cheese tarts single natures sont tellement délicieuses!!
& le gâteau cheese cake est assez original & c’est à goûter! Mais ce n’est pas aussi incroyable que les tartelettes!!!!!!
