Japanese, Fast Food, Delis

Reviews summary

A celebrated spot for ultra‑light, Japanese‑style cheesecakes and delicate pastries, this bakery delivers cloud‑like texture, low sweetness and refined flavor—think fluffy original cheesecakes, rotating flavors such as Earl Grey, and a whimsical crepe‑brûlée pancake topped with strawberries and cheesecake pieces. Madeleines carry a subtle honey note and warm well. Portions trend small but feel elegant; some crave bolder crepe flavors. Ideal for those seeking airy, less‑sugary desserts and inventive patisserie riffs.

Excellent cheesecake for those who want to taste the actual taste of the dessert and not just sacharine sweetness predominant in most cheesecakes. Sugar content is quite low here, so it's delicious, refined and not treacly at all.

2021 Uncle Tetsu 's have really out done themselves with their take on the French pancake, with the 'Crepe Brulee '. Loaded with strawberries, whipped cream and pieces of their original cheesecake. It 's so light and fluffy, you 'd literally inhale it! 2016 Uncle Tetsu 's really knows how to put the 'moist ' in cheesecake, these literally are the epitome of 'moist '. The famous fluffy and delicate texture is what earned Uncle Tetsu 's universal acclaim. It 's very different to the cheesecakes of the old world, with only a slight after taste of cheese, lack of biscuit base and overall loss of that, dense stomach real estate feeling. Just like eating a cloud. A 'moist ' cloud.

Uncle Tetsu is famous for their super fluffy, Japanese style cheesecakes. I love how they always come out with new cheesecake flavours over the years (while keeping the original a sticky on their menu). Earl grey cheesecake is a favourite, and I also loved their other creations especially the crepe brûlée!

Their cheesecake is good but the crepe brulee could be better. It might just be me but the crepe brulee tasted a bit bland, I think it'd be good if they offered other flavors like chocolate or matcha for those wanting flavors stronger than regular custard. Nevertheless still a good treat that's worth a try.

This place is too small. I wish there was more of it.

However, Lizzie found the portion sizes to be very small, but felt it was worth it because of the fluffy texture and unique taste that sets this place apart from others.
