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.

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.

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.
