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.

Best cheesecake ever. Especially the matcha one 😍

The go to Japanese bakery if you crave for bake soufflé cake. They also offer a few other different pastries but the best is to eat it while it's still warm & out of the oven. Make sure you drop by & try it.

It's a quaint little shop offering Japanese cheesecakes in three delightful flavors, along with tarts & cookies. My personal favorite is the original cheesecake, & their charming packaging adds to the experience. If you find yourself near the downtown area, it's definitely worth a try.

The only cheesecake you need to be happy & succeed in life. Usually cheesecakes turns you instantly obese. This one is like eating a cloud!

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!

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.

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.
