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.
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,
Small shop for take out only. They have some of the fluffiest & very soft Japanese cheesecakes in Montreal. This cheesecake has a very unique taste & texture. It is fluffy & light at the same time. It's not overly sweet & it has a balanced sweetness that makes it a pleasant treat. Best cheesecake i ever had. i just love it. Would recommend for sure.
The Madeleine are fluffy & just awesome, only light butter taste with moderate sweetness
Nice clean packaging & fast delivery
I had ordered a pack of 6
I usually buy from them, very polite & nice owner, I hope they keep it up like this cuz I never wanna go anywhere else for Madeleines :)
Been a fan of Uncle Tetsu since they opened their location here in Montreal, & have purchased their cheesecakes, cookies & madeleines.
I’ve tried three of their Japanese cheesecake flavours & the original is definitely my favourite, the matcha comes in a close second & the chocolate third- though all three taste great regardless.
Yesterday, I stopped by at around 7:45pm & ordered their combo deal: buy 1 cheesecake & 4 madeleines, get 1 (5th) madeleine for free.
I went with their original cheesecake, 4 matcha madeleines & chose the original-flavoured madeleine as my 5th.
Safe to say that they most certainly did not disappoint, both the madeleines & the cheesecake.
The madeleines were moist (the matcha ones also had red beans inside, at the bottom), & after leaving the cheesecake in the fridge for a couple hours to cool down, it tasted amazing (just like how I remembered).
Moreover, the male worker who served me was polite & friendly. He quickly prepared my order & I left the shop very satisfied.
I’ll surely be coming by again when the cravings hit &/or when my friends & I plan a girls night, as you cannot go wrong with Uncle Tetsu’s light + fluffy cheesecake as a dessert.
