Review Summary

Across reviews, Uncle Tetsu is praised for fluffy not too sweet Japanese cheesecakes that arrive warm and freshly baked, with the original and chocolate varieties frequently highlighted for a light, creamy texture and balanced flavor, while packaging and friendly service are consistently appreciated and the treats are enjoyed as a convenient option for sharing or celebrations, though some locations are crowded with little seating and long lines, and a sign inside mentions that the cakes are nut free.

We tried the matcha, original, & chocolate cheesecakes from Uncle Tetsu & honestly, each one had its own kind of deliciousness 🍰

The texture is so light, fresh, & soft, & you can really taste the quality in every flavor. The original is classic & comforting, the matcha has a perfect balanced flavor, & the chocolate one is rich without being too heavy 🍵🍫

Definitely worth trying if you love fresh & fluffy Japanese-style cheesecakes 💛

Just hype. Tastes like 5 minute old bread soaked in milk, breaks off so easily it's impossible to use a fork (cuz you know, cheeseCAKE), not sweet at all nor bland (again,'cake'), doesn't even taste like cheese. Pricing is fair for what it is, but a classic New York or Basque goes a long way
Staff was great i can't deny that, & quality control is exceptional. Just that the cheesecake is anything but good

Their locations are consistent in quality across the country. I first tried Uncle Tetsu in Toronto & am glad I have a location near me in my new city. The Japanese Cheesecake standard.

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.

I only tried their original cheesecake for the first time because it was a recommendation. It wasn't too bad but not something I'd get again, not for me.

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,

Here's the corrected version: First time trying a Japanese cheesecake, & I loved it! The place is very well located, the staff is friendly, & the service is surprisingly fast. The flavor is light, but you can still taste the cheese & sweetness in just the right amount. I will definitely go back & try the chocolate cheesecake.
