About

Uncle Tetsu specializes in authentic Japanese cheesecake characterized by a signature light, fluffy texture that distinguishes it from denser Western counterparts. These iconic cakes are meticulously prepared using premium ingredients like high-quality cream cheese, fresh butter, and farm-fresh eggs to achieve a delicate balance of flavor. The baking process focuses on a precise soufflé-style technique that creates a soft, cloud-like consistency which melts instantly on the palate. Patrons frequently encounter the mesmerizing aroma of these freshly baked goods cooling on racks before being individually branded with the signature logo. Beyond the famous cheesecakes, the menu often features complementary treats like buttery madeleines and crisp rusk biscuits. This establishment maintains a focused approach to artisan baking, ensuring that every piece served adheres to rigorous standards of Japanese confectionery craftsmanship.

Review Summary

Uncle Tetsu is widely praised for its signature Japanese cheesecakes and tarts, which are frequently described as light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Many customers appreciate the consistent quality, fresh ingredients, and polite service, making these treats a popular choice for gatherings and special occasions. While the majority of feedback is positive and highlights the addictive texture of the desserts, some patrons find the shop locations crowded and note that items sell out quickly, necessitating early visits. A small minority of reviewers feel the flavor profile does not meet their personal expectations or preferences compared to denser cake varieties.

It would be great if matcha-flavored products were available on weekdays.

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 💛

Waouh! Toujours un plaisir de venir chercher un gâteau au fromage chez Uncle Tetsu. Mon coup de coeur reste celui au Matcha même si celui au Yuzu était tout aussi bon.

The best in the town. Soft, not too sweet. Chocolat & original is highly recommended. I have not tried Matcha.

Je suis fan de matcha, mais pour cet enseigne je préfère la saveur original, le matcha ici est assez léger à mon goût, ça reste un bon cheesecake, & le service est rapide!

Le gateau au matcha est excellent! Malheureusement le service est en anglais seulement & c'est très à l'étroit à l'intérieur. Pas plus de 2 clients à la fois.
