    Cheesecakes and tarts
    Mary T.

    I am late to the Japanese cheesecake craze. My very first Yelp in-person event was at a Japanese cheesecake place in Unionville that has since switched names and ownership. I loved the two samples that I got, but never went back to get a full Japanese cheesecake anywhere. Well, all that changed last Friday. A week earlier, I saw my friend post photos of this beautiful rose valentine soufflé cheesecake for Valentine's Day. It looked so pretty and scrumptious that I immediately ordered one online through Cheese Garden's site for pickup from this location in North York. I couldn't get pickup immediately and chose Lunar New Year because I was off from work that day. I haven't hung out in this part of North York for a long time. I used to meet a friend for a movie and dinner often years ago, as it was close to his workplace. The area still has loads of eateries, but I don't recognize a lot of them. I drove over here and parked on Yonge Street. I parked in front of Upper East Food Club, which was a block over from Cheese Garden. It wasn't planned. I had no idea where it was, but knew where I'd be getting takeout for lunch. I paid using my Green P app, which I am digging these days. I don't need to touch a parking machine and I don't need to carry change with me. It's awesome! Some businesses either didn't make the effort to shovel their storefront, or perhaps a thaw and freeze happened, and the sidewalk became icy. I took caution walking on it. It would be horrible to wipe out on a busy street. I walked into the store. There was one woman ahead of me who had what seemed like a complicated order. I stood in line for perhaps seven minutes. It was perfect, as it allowed me to take photos. She finally left with her stuff. It was my turn. I had my eight-digit order number handy, which is what the man and woman behind the counter needed. It felt like a tag team effort in which they finally found my order. The man confirmed my two items: - Rose valentine soufflé cheesecake - Baked cheese tart I had already paid online, so I got both boxes in a rectangular bag. I thanked both folks and wished them a good day. They were so friendly and nice, and reciprocated. I headed to my car to put my goodies away. Many folks parked by me were risking paying for parking. I'm not the gambling type and I'm glad that I didn't. As I was putting my bag away to fetch my lunch takeout next, the parking patrol had arrived. He was two cars away from mine. He was starting to write a ticket when a man bolted out of Upper East Food Club, apologized, jumped in his vehicle, and drove off. I was impressed with his dash-and-go technique! I eventually got home with my takeout and chowed down. For dessert, I went for the rose valentine soufflé cheesecake. My mistake was cutting the cheesecake immediately without putting it in the fridge. It was delicate that cutting a wedge looked like I had grabbed some cheesecake with my fingers. Even though my slice didn't look pretty, it tasted fantastic! The base has Oreo crumbs. On top of them is soufflé cheesecake, and then rose milk pudding. It's topped with rose chocolate wide shavings. Around the cake is rose strawberry mascarpone cheese. Insanely delicious and decadent! I have since had a few more slices. They cut a lot better when the cheesecake has been chilling in the fridge. The baked cheese tart is fantastic. The crust is so buttery and flaky. It's recommended to tear off the crust and dip it into the cheesecake. It's fun! The cheesecake is creamy and divine. Both items aren't overly sweet, which I appreciate. I had an excellent experience. I'm eyeing getting the matcha tiramisu next. I thought that it would be overkill to get that with the rose valentine soufflé cheesecake, so I'll be back for more. (59)

    I've come here several times before mostly for their specials. This place has serveral locations across Toronto and the staff working there are pretty friendly. This time I came here for their white peach oolong tiramisu special. This was limited edition as they offer only 500 for the package special which includes two white peach oolong tiramisu and a white peach jam that is made in house. The package was super nice along with the white peach tiramisus which were done wonderfully, too good to eat. Comes with a little card that tells you what each layer consists of. It's not too sweet, could taste the hints of oolong more than the peach, there were small amounts of peach jelly. Very light and fragrant. This place also offers yaki puddings, Japanese cheesecakes, tiramisus and other dessert items along with limited time only seasonal specials. Definitely worth trying if you are visiting the area.

    I had their cheese cakes several times before and they are totally delicious !! This time I had cheese tart which was yummy as well. The crust around is crunchy and cheese filling in middle is in custard texture which is very delicious as well. As 2 people we ate it all under 5 minutes !! I think the size is good 1 serving and go well with coffee. It was their 5th year anniversary so we were able to get %50 discount this time which was a real treat. Their Japanese cakes are very unique, delicious and will keep you coming here again and again.

    Matcha Double Fromage Cheesecake
    Tracy T.

    I've only had the Matcha Double Fromage Cheesecake from here before and it's truly a delight. The cake offers a nice balance of creaminess and cheesiness that leaves a light refreshing taste in your mouth. The alternating layers of sponge cake, baked cheesecake, frozen cheesecake, and dusted cake crumbs creates an enjoyable multi-dimensional bite. I would say that this cake is a great option for Asian households that prefer lighter cakes that aren't too sweet!

    What I ordered: * Yaki-pudding Cheesecake * Pistachio Cappuccino Taste: 4.5/5 The pudding was creamy and not too heavy. The sweetness was balanced nicely with the slight bitterness in the sauce. The cheesecake was airy but lost the fluffiness due to the moisture of the sauce and container, which is to be expected. For those who want to eat Japanese cheesecake for the traditional fluffy texture, I would suggest getting the cheesecake on their menu rather than the yaki pudding cheesecake. The pistachio cappuccino was also not overly bitter nor sweet. It had a slightly nutty flavour from the pistachio but was not too pronounced. Presentation: 3.5/5 While they had indoor seating, it was clear that the main customer base takes the order to-go. There was minimal effort in making the products look good for dine-in customers. Both the yaki pudding cheesecake and cappuccino were given in take out containers. However, if you enjoy flipping your own yaki pudding (which I do!), they give you a plate to do so. Ambience: 4.5/5 The interior had a super cute aesthetic that made me happy to walk into. On the left side, you have a wooden wall with wall planters filled with fake plants and Japanese decor. On the right-side side, you have a lemon-coloured wall with illustrations of the various desserts they offer. You can also smell the delicious cheesy goodness of the baked goods.

    Great cheesecake café. All creations tastes so good and has great presentation. Some even come in a fancy container/capsule. I tried the mini Shiroi Valentine Soufflé Cheesecake. It was so good, creamy and sweet but not too sweet. It was kind of small, I wish it was bigger. A bit more pricey for the size, but worth it. The staff are so polite and friendly. Not too much selection at the end of the day. I'll be back to try other desserts!

    This place is in a word: QUALITY Their menu is not huge, but that often means that the few items that are on the menu are top notch. And that is so true in this case. The cheesecakes are not very big, but again the emphasis is on the quality. Their offerings are fresh, rich and creamy. Every bite would bring me to a truly happy place. If that's the kind of experience you're looking for in a cheesecake, this is the place to go! They have a great online ordering system and pick up is easy. The packaging is also beautiful. But the true hero is inside...The perfect balance of creamy cheese and sugar. Would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future.

    Matcha cheesecake

    This was alright, does the job but nothing crazy. I wish they had individual slices available for you to try instead of purchasing a whole cake. I'd probably go back to try something else but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Great location, clean space and wonderful, helpful staff! We were hoping to get a whole Shiroi Valentine Soufflé Cheesecake but were told that we needed to pre order this (figured!). Sadly, even the mini versions were already sold out. It's a really popular item and you'll realize why after tasting it! We eventually ordered for the Double Fromage Cheesecake instead, and this wasnt a bad alternative at all! It's composed of three layers - frozen cheesecake, baked cheesecake and a thin layer of sponge cake. It's smooth and very creamy. I highly recommend this place!

    Pistachio yuzu double fromage cake 22.95
    Janey T.

    As a regular, I was not expecting any less from this new yuzu pistachio double fromage cake ($22.95). It tastes better when refrigerated than frozen so you can savour the rich flavours better. I love the contrast of flavours in the salty pistachio and tart yuzu. The yellow on top is chocolate piece and it is surrounded by gold flecks which is a pleasant aesthetic touch Frozen yuzu mascarpone ontop of baked and sugar-roasted pistachio pieces over a spongey base pistachio base. The outside is coated with delicate pistachio cake crumbs. The packaging is also so cute! The outside has a white, yellow, and green sleeve written with Japanese. Great gift packaging!

    We came to this location on their 3rd anniversary when it was 50% off one item per customer. Also, comes with a voucher for $10 off next $25+ purchase. The store is pretty small but the line moved fairly quickly. Service was fine given that they must have sold 10x the number of cakes they normally do during the 50% off event. We got the Japanese cheesecake. It was pretty similar to most other Japanese cheesecake places - didn't find it particularly better or worse. Has a nice light texture, subtle cheese and sweetness. Given so many options nowadays for Japanese cheesecakes, this is okay but not mind blowing. 3.5/5 Pro Tip: If you like the Japanese cheesecake with more cheese flavor, have it cold. If you like a lighter, more soufflé like texture, take your slice of cake and microwave it for 5-10 seconds. Don't do it too long or else it'll taste like cooked eggs! Also, got the matcha double fromage cheesecake. This is more like a traditional New York style cheesecakes with a frozen mascarpone on top and a baked matcha cheese cake layer on the bottom. This was really flavorful, had the subtle bitterness of matcha and the sweet cheesy mascarpone. The sponge cake crumbs seem unnecessary but maybe they add more matcha flavor. 4.5/5 They do package the cakes nicely and tell you how to properly store and serve them. Price: The regular Japanese cheesecake is $10 for 6 inches which is pretty good and comparable. The matcha double fromage cheesecake is over 20$ regularly for 4.5 inches - pricey but good for special events. Summary: Great place to get Japanese cheesecakes. Recommend the higher end cakes for special events to wow your friends.

    Cute packaging of the cheesecake

    As a pistachio lover I had to try Cheese Garden's newest Yuzu Pistachio Double Fromage Cheesecake! It came in a really beautiful gift box that can likely be repurposed to store other things after the cheesecake is consumed. Since the cheesecake comes frozen, it is recommended to leave it in room temperature for at least 15 minutes otherwise you would not be able to cut through it! I enjoyed the layers of the yuzu mascarpone cheesecake and baked pistachio cheesecake as it was not too sweet and the diced sugar roasted pistachio added a nice level of texture. Overall I really liked the cheesecake and it is the perfect portion size to share with a couple of friends!

    Cheese tart and matcha Tiramisu
    Brenda Y.

    I was able to snatch some delicious desserts during their 50 percent off event! I was very impressed with how fast and friendly their service! They were able to manage the crowd so swiftly! Cheese tart - 8/10 it reminds me of a egg tart but with cheese custard in the middle. The custard is more on the runnier side which is okay but I do prefer if the texture was a bit more firm. Matcha Tiramisu- 9.5/10 strong matcha flavour! Very delicious! You can see the different layers! I always enjoyed going to Cheese Garden! If I ever have a sweet craving, Cheese Garden is my go-to.

Found this spot and they had a good selection mid afternoon to pick up on a Sunday. The person at the counter is super helpful in helping describe the cake. They have basque cheesecake which is more rich and the flavour I'm sure the person I'm gifting would confidently enjoy but I wasn't sure if they would prefer the lightness of the their popular options over the classic. She explained the glazed popular cheesecakes they have aren't regular New York style cheese cake (despite their Uber Eats describing it as such for their Yakult flavour cheese cake). It's more like cheesecake mousse. I didn't want to get the basque cheesecake because it didn't look as nice. So she said the black sesame is in between the classic basque / New York cheesecake and the popular glazed mousse cheesecake. It's also made of marscapone and layered with matcha and not too sweet. It's also her fav so I went with her recommendation. I notice the black sesame cake isn't shown as available on Uber Eats delivery. I decided to pick up in person to make sure the delivery goes smoothly. The price difference is just $1. However, Uber Eats does charge tax and other fees whereas there's no tax at all on pick up. I eventually tried a piece and it does taste like a hybrid cheesecake in texture though the middle thin layer is a bit soggy, though I didn't mind that part. However, even though I love matcha I'm not a fan of the matcha and black sesame combination. I think I would've like a layer with more intense black sesame as the cake itself and the black sesame very subtle. The matcha is more intense creating an imbalance and over powers the black sesame flavour in the cake. Still a tasty cake especially for someone that prefers lighter not too sweet cakes. Note the staff does hand you the payment and there's tip option of 10% as the lowest suggested option, which I found kinda excessive for just putting a cake in the box. They don't even make cakes at this location it's all made in the Sauga location and she didn't even write the happy birthday on the cake. I know it's optional but it's just the consumer experience, I tipped but I feel like the tipping culture is a bit excessive to pass onto the consumer to tip on an expensive cake. Just price the cake fairly to compensate the employee or waive for pick ups and have it for only dine ins. Unlike the previous review, it seems like they do provide a little free happy birthday topper and also a complimentary skinny candle and you're also welcome to buy extra candles if you want. They also sell some $10~ decorative helium balloons add on to make your celebration a bit more festive. This is their second location. The main one being in Sauga, which I've been told has been in operation for over 25 years apparently. This one I was told was opened in the last 2 years.
