Small shop for take out only. They have some of the fluffiest Japanese cheesecakes in Montreal. I took 3 different kind Original, Chocolate & Matcha. We enjoyed all of them but my personal favourite this time was the chocolate. Cheers

The yummiest & lightest cheesecake in the area!

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.

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.
