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.
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
Loved the cake, freshly cooked & warm from the oven & not too sweet. Packaging was awesome too.
The lady who served us was kind, helpful & polite. Will definitely try again.

Love their cakes there to share with my friends & family 🫶 it's a bit hidden the place for where it's located but once you found it, you won't regret to try their sweet there 💕💕💕 it's a very nice ambiance & absolutely love their dessert there ❤?
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.
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.
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 :)

The service is efficient & is usually fast once you are inside the shop but there are sometimes line-ups outside. It's worth the wait though.
Keep in mind that this place is only meant for purchase; there are no tables to sit at & eat. They will pack your order carefully so it's easy to carry.
They offer a small variety of products (cheesecake, tart etc) & also offers them in a couple of flavors such as original, matcha & chocolate. From time to time they also introduce new designs such as the one in this picture for halloween, which was super cute!

I am updating my review, as a regular customer, to mention something I noticed in my recent purchases. The tarts (original & matcha flavours) seem to have been getting sweeter. The first time my family noticed it we thought it was just a one-off human error in measurement but it was just as sweet the next two times as well. One of the things we used to enjoy with the tarts was that it was a dessert & therefore sweet but not too sweet. We liked the hint of tangy in the sweet flavour but now it's just plain sweet. Maybe some people prefer it that way but it would be great if they could offer a reduced-sugar version as well.
The Japanese cheesecake was a delightful experience with its light, airy texture, perfect balance of sweetness, & impeccable presentation. They even make christmassy cheesecakes!!!
