Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake is one of those dessert shops that has built its reputation around doing one thing exceptionally well. We walked up to a storefront centered around its signature Japanese-style cheesecakes, and part of the appeal is being able to watch the baking process through the large glass windows. The open kitchen adds a sense of transparency to the experience, while the constant flow of freshly baked cheesecakes coming out of the ovens makes it difficult to leave without ordering something. The shop is designed more around takeout than lingering, making it an easy stop for grabbing dessert while exploring the area or bringing a cheesecake home to share. The original Japanese cheesecake remains the main attraction. Unlike dense New York-style cheesecakes, Uncle Tetsu's version is incredibly light, airy, and delicate, with a subtle sweetness that makes it easy to keep eating long after you intended to stop. The texture is closer to a soufflé than a traditional cheesecake, giving it a soft, cloud-like quality that has made it so popular. While the cheesecakes are the headline item, the cheese tarts, madeleines, and rotating specialty flavors provide plenty of reasons to return. The cheese tarts in particular offer a richer and more concentrated flavor profile, making them a good contrast to the lighter cheesecake, and the madeleines are a simple but satisfying accompaniment. Beyond the desserts themselves, the bakery benefits from a consistent sense of freshness. Products are baked throughout the day, and there is something satisfying about receiving a cheesecake that is still slightly warm. Seasonal and limited-time flavors occasionally appear as well, giving regular visitors something new to try without straying too far from the bakery's core identity. The freshness of each batch is evident, and the visual appeal of the cheesecakes coming out of the oven adds to the anticipation. The shop can attract lines, especially during busy periods when fresh batches are coming out of the oven, but the operation generally moves efficiently. The staff handle the flow well, and the turnover is fast enough that even with a queue, the wait does not feel excessive. The packaging is clean and practical, designed to keep the cheesecake intact during transit, which is important for a product that is as delicate as it is. Uncle Tetsu's remains one of the most recognizable destinations for Japanese-style cheesecake. The appeal comes from its simplicity: a light, fluffy cheesecake executed consistently well, supported by a selection of tarts and baked goods that complement the experience. If you enjoy delicate desserts that prioritize texture over overwhelming sweetness, it is easy to understand why the bakery continues to attract such a loyal following. read more

Always stop by an Uncle Tetsu when we're in town. They had a Yuzu Angel Hat and tart that were in season when we stopped in, so we had to get it. Great flavor and bouncy texture like always! The one we stopped in this time was a part of a food hall, so we picked up some tarts and walked around to the food court seating area to eat. read more

Uncle Tetsu is definitely worth a stop if you're in Toronto. The moment I walked in, the place smelled amazing--like fresh baked goods straight out of the oven. I picked up both the tart and the original cheesecake. The tart was okay, with a nice fluffy crust, but it felt like it had been sitting out for a bit. The cheesecake though... wow. Super soft, light, and fluffy, exactly what I was hoping for. The original is big enough to share with a few people (4-5 easily), and the price is really reasonable. After walking around all day, it was the perfect dessert with a cup of coffee. Just a heads up--there's only a very small, minimal seating area, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. I'd recommend picking one up and enjoying it back at your hotel or Airbnb. Simple, delicious, and totally worth it. read more

Excellent cheesecake. Just plain no sauces on top. The was a large lineup the first time I went. Really good. No eat in. Now there are more locations available that makes it a little easier to get one. I was at the Vaughn mills mall and tried out the single serve tart. That hit the sweet spot for me. Do it. Service fine for take out (walking not a drive through). A must try to challenge your love for cheesecake like myself. read more

Uncle Tetsu is a chain, a good one but still a chain. That being said I will review this restaurant as such. The cheesecake was delicious as to be expected, the tarts, although were good were a little runny. BB read more

I really love their cheese tarts. When I visited, they had the following flavors: Original, Matcha, Chocolate and Early Grey (limited edition). Of course the original flavor is very popular, but I always enjoy matcha flavor ans well and any time they add a new flavor, I make sure to try it. There always a lineup before entering the store and I'm glad they moved to a larger location. But, the service is very fast and efficient. read more

Honestly don't get how this location is a 3.5 on Yelp. The matcha tarts are amazing. Matcha flavor is incredibly strong and the dessert is just perfect. The cheesecake is so fluffy and isn't too sweet, like classic American cheesecake. Also the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend. The inside of the store looks very nice too. Staff was pleasant. read more

I live near the Uncle Tetsu's store at Pacific Mall. I try to not pass by the store. Otherwise, I'll go in and spend a ton of money. I have heard about this location at Atrium on Bay from a lot of friends who work in the area. One friend had an internship across from it. Every Friday, she bought a cheesecake to take home and devour all by herself. Yes, I have quality friends in my life who have great taste in Japanese-style cheesecakes. This store used to be across the street near the old bus terminal. It has since relocated to its larger location. I parked at a lot on the northwest corner of Bay and Edward Streets. It was super close to this store. In August, I was fortunate to have dropped by this store twice. You can't miss this store with its red signage and signature Uncle Tetsu cheerfully looking at you. I find that there's always a lineup here. My first visit was 6 pm. Lineup. My second visit was around 3 pm. Lineup. Luckily, the lineup moves quickly. I recently had its yuzu cheesecake, which was its latest flavour addition to the menu. The yuzu was tangy. It tasted like lemon. The cheesecake wasn't overly sweet. It was fluffy, airy, and delicious. I enjoyed indulging without any heaviness. I love the cheese tarts here. I picked up the matcha and yuzu ones. So good! The matcha one had a nice matcha strength that I thoroughly enjoyed. The filling was creamy and perfect. The crust part was scrumptious. The yuzu one was bright in flavour. The filling was equally as smooth and creamy. Excellent! I paid both times with a credit card. Done! I entered this store both times through the entrance facing Dundas Street West. You can also enter and exit this store from Atrium on Bay. I like options. I loved my visits here. Sure, there's always a lineup. It's simply a sign of yumminess. Fortunately, the wait isn't long.

This is the new Uncle tetsu which has relocated across the street to the atrium mall. This is an open concept bakery where you can see all the items being made. There are often long lineups at this location due to popularity, service is fast and efficient. They are constantly making new cheesecakes and other desserts throughout the day so you know that what you get is fresh. A great spot to get a dessert or a sweet gift for a reasonable price. There's basically no seating inside so you will need to enjoy your dessert elsewhere. read more

Stopped by on the way back from dinner. Long line but moved super fast. We ordered 6 cheese tarts which are just mini cheesecakes. 2 chocolate, 2 yuzu, 1 regular and 1 matcha. Took them back to our hotel to chill. They are delicious! Do not skip this experience in Toronto. Perfect sized desert. Creamy, flavorful and delightful. read more

When Uncle Tetsu closed down in Hawaii, I was very sad. I love their cheesecake. So glad I got to eat some here. I never had their tarts and wanted to try it. Had the cheese tart and the earl grey. The tart was a bit hard, not a fan of it. The cheese and earl grey filling was ok. I would prefer their cheesecake instead of the tart. I believe they make a certain amount a day depending where the location is. Pricing is decent. read more

I've always been a big fan of Japanese Cheesecakes and heard such great things from friends in the area, so we decided to check out this place. Besides reviews based on service (our service was pretty great the day we went since we were in and out in 5 minutes and visited twice this day), I'm not too sure why this spot has ratings less than 4 or 5 stars! Maybe some others are comparing their experience with the taste of normal cheesecakes or what they might have seen on social media, but from our experience, these Japanese cheesecakes and tarts were SOO good we had to get a bunch more to bring home on the plane! The cheesecake itself has a slightly stronger cheese flavor than what I have tried before that I actually preferred and it was still very fluffy and soft after keeping it in the fridge. Our favorite out of the tarts was the original flavor--which was super rich and cheesy in a creamy tart way, with a crunchy tart shell that came together so nicely! (tastes best fresh but still tastes great if you wait until you get home!) Our second favorite was yuzu since the original could not be beaten, then the chocolate and matcha tarts themselves were just okay but this was fine because we figured the original tart is what they're known for anyways so we were just simply happy to have been able to try a decent bit of their menu! Will definitely come back next time! What we ordered: - Original Japanese Cheesecake x2 - Original Cheese Tart x2 - Yuzu Cheese Tart x2 - Matcha Cheese Tart - Chocolate Cheese Tart read more

I joined the line when I saw the very long line in front of the store door despite the fact that I didn't even know what they sell. Hey, I'm not a blind follower! I smelled the strong aroma leaking out from the store and that was an irresistible flavour. I bought a cheesecake with the original flavour. It was a Japanese-style cheesecake and the texture was like a wet sponge. It felt thick when you cut it. It felt light when you hold it. It then will melt in your mouth. It may be still fresh in North America but we're pretty familiar with that in Asia. Although I didn't feel Amazing or Mind-blowing by the taste of the cheesecake, I wasn't disappointed at all. It tasted good and was full of butter scent. It's a good deal and has decent quality. It's a perfect gift or dessert when you visit a friend. read more

Just finished lunch and needed something sweet. We picked up the limited time flavor, very berry, cheesecake to eat later. Service was very quick. She even asked if I would like the cheesecake warm or cold. She recommended cold for the very berry. It's a grab and go kinda place so no seating. But we really enjoyed the cheesecake. Happy Canada Day! read more

Uncle Tetsu never disappoints me with their products. I have been a loyal customer for years and I always enjoy their treats. This time, I sampled the yuzu angel hat and the crème brûlée cheese tarts, which were both limited edition items. They were amazing! The cheese tarts were so creamy and rich, and the yuzu hat was light and refreshing. The only downside was that they limited the cheese tarts to two per customer, and I had to wait in line for 15 minutes. But it was worth it. They served them either warm or at room temperature, depending on how fresh they were. I took some screenshots of their menu and prices for more information. Note that there is no place to sit inside the store. read more

I had this cheesecake once but I was thrilled to see it when we were walking to Little Canada. We returned for a snack and to also bring the leftovers back to the Airbnb. We got the original Japanese cheesecake which is pretty big and shareable. Texture is very moist and bursting with flavor. I could easily gobble this up in a day. We also purchased one of the Earl grey cheese tarts. Flavor was very delectable. Smooth, creamy consistency. You can find lots of seating in the attached mall, there's a food court on the bottom. Yes, there was a very long line but everyone waited. It was well worth the wait. Prices were slightly expensive but we don't have this in Chicago. read more

Such a cute location. I have seen a lot of things about Japanese Cheesecake and wanted to give it a try, I heard about Uncle Tetsu's a while back but havent been able to make it up here till now! They offer the cheesecakes warm or cold which is great, I got it cold, very good! It has a super subtle light flavor and isnt too heavy on the stomach. I personally love cheesecake but it can be too sweet and thick for me so this is the perfect amount of what I enjoy. The center of the cake has the most flavor as the outside is naturally dryer from being baked the way its baked. Staff was friendly, didnt have any issues at all. It wasnt too busy when I went so I think it was also a good time on my end! read more

Omg! I can't get over the tarts from this place. We came across this place while we were strolling around. My husband is a sucker for dessert so of course we have to buy and try it. The store smells like heaven for me it's always a plus when you go in the store and smell the goof stuff, then you know for sure that the stuff they make is amazing. It really is soooooo good. Can't wait to go back and buy more when we're in Canada. read more

Uncle Tetsu's latest offering, the Earl Grey cheesecake, caught my attention. Despite my initial skepticism as a fan of the original, it pleasantly surprised me with its delicious flavor. Recently, I visited the Uncle Tetsu location in downtown Toronto to sample their Earl Grey cheesecake and vibrant tarts. Their Japanese cheesecakes boast a delightful softness and fluffiness, with just the right amount of sweetness, suitable for any occasion. Alongside the cheesecake, we indulged in rusks, Cheese Tarts, and Madeleine, all of which impressed us with their taste and texture. The Earl Grey cheese tarts were particularly creamy, adding to our overall enjoyment. Plus, it's great to know that all their products are gelatin-free and halal-friendly. ... ... read more

First time customer. Had the lemon cheesecake, or I guess that is the Yuzu. Price is not bad. You get 4 reasonable sized servings for just over $15. Texture is nice and airy. Flavour was a bit too muted for my palate. Customer service was pleasant and fast. As soon as I got home, I immediately put it in the fridge. Pulled it out about 2 hours later. There was a bug inside the cardboard container; I did have the bag on top of the subway seat on the way home so I guess it could have crawled in then. But I also unfortunately found a small piece of clear plastic about 3 bites into my first serving. Even with my issues as outlined above, I would still likely go back. read more

Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake was my first experience eating Japanese souffle-style cheesecakes in the West. Their desserts are probably the closest thing you can get to the real deal! The cheesecakes are lighter and on the airier side, yet still contain a smooth, rich, and creamy texture. On Mondays only, you have the option of purchasing their matcha cheesecakes! The matcha flavor complements the cream and gives it a refreshing flavor. Service was extremely fast- there's usually a line, but it flies by. Would recommend to stop by and pick up a cheesecake here if you're celebrating a special occasion (or to just satisfy your cravings). read more

How I became Duke in two different Toronto downtown establishments in my three-day visit, part two. When I walked past Uncle Tetsu, the aroma of beautiful baking almost literally drew me in. But since I was on my way to Moon Palace - the first night - and I could see a line almost out the door, I did not stop. As it turned out Moon Palace let me down (read my separate review), I walked back to Hong Shing to order dinner. Since it wasn't going to be ready for another 10-15 minutes, I considered that a nod from the Almighty to go back to Uncle Tetsu - and who am I to disobey God! They have a very limited selection, but you don't need variety when you do something really well. I ordered their standard "Japanese cheese cake" ($14 CAD) and savoured it after dinner. This is a light cake that fills your head with cheese, eggs, and butter, pillowy soft - just absolutely delicious. I resolved to take one home with me on the plane. The following day, I tried their tarts: 3 each of matcha and chocolate ($20 for 6). My sister and B.I.L. both said they prefer or slightly prefer the tarts to the cake. I dissented: I think there's too much going on with the tarts, thereby losing focus on their strength, which is that wonderful, intoxicating, 'cheese-cake' filling. When you adulterate it with other things, it can really defeat the purpose of the original mission. The matcha's subtle beauty is overpowered by the more fragrant cheese cake mix, and with the chocolate, it's the opposite - the chocolate all but nullified that beautiful filling. As well, I feel the cake had better value. Still, I'll likely be getting one or the other (or both) the next time I'm in the city, and in the area. By comparison, I also got a so-called Japanese cheese cake in the China town area from a Chinese bakery (much cheaper at $6 for a slight smaller thing) - it was flat and uninteresting; I'll never buy THAT again. read more

Came to try Uncle Tetsu since my husband really wanted to know what the hype was about! I had it once and felt like it wasn't flavorful enough compared to the one I make at home. I'll definitely give it some starts for softness and sponginess. Not too sweet which caters to Asian tastes. But again, not flavorful enough with heavy cream or cream cheese! No seating, more of a take out place. Smells amazing inside. Cheesecakes were smaller than I expected but I guess it was fair. read more

While visiting with friends in Toronto, they told us we had to check out Uncle Tetsu's. They had it while in Japan and said they have the best cheesecake. I don't like cheesecake but I loved these. They were so light and fluffy. It was a far cry from the typical dense cheesecake. So good! My husband is a huge cheesecake fan and he loved them. I loved their madeleines even more. They were like muffins. So light, moist and delicious. I had them for breakfast for several days and loved every minute. When in Toronto, definitely check them out. read more

Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake - Light, fluffy, amazing cheesecake from someone who doesn't typically like cheesecake. Yum! - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5 Stars; wanted to love it more but unfortunately the cheesecakes were not hitting the spot. The cheese tarts were probably my favorite! Original is the way to go. I love Japanese desserts, especially Japanese cheesecake and Uncle Tetsu is basically the most popular spot for Japanese cheesecake in Toronto so I had to try it. I came on a Saturday afternoon and there was a line out the door! It wasn't a long line though and if there weren't for only the one cashier tending to all the customers, the line could've moved much faster. There's a barrier up but you can see the workers making the products as well as the display of madeleines and cheese tarts. I actually expected a smaller menu with less options, as the other Japanese cheesecake spots I've seen in NYC, but this one had a few other items other than just cheesecake. There was also madeleines, cheese tarts, cookies, rusks, ice cream, and some more items on posters instead of on the actual menu. And these all came in several flavors. When I came, yuzu was the limited edition flavor so there were a few products with it. I ended up getting a ton of things to try: - Original Cheesecake: light and airy and doesn't have a strong cheesecake flavor, as a Japanese cheesecake should be. However, I was really disappointed at the height. I expected it to be tall, fluffy and jiggly and it was none of those things. Texture is like 80% sponge cake, 20% cheesecake. - Yuzu Cheesecake: similar complaints as the original but at least the yuzu flavor stood out really well. Has a slight tartness that helps cut into a sweet dessert, even though it's really not that sweet to begin with. - Original Cheese Tart: my favorite item. Nice buttery crust to contrast the creamy rich cheese flavor. This has more of that denser American cheesecake texture and has a much stronger flavor than the cheesecakes above. - Matcha Cheese Tart: decent matcha flavor but the cheese flavor was more overpowering so only a hint of matcha comes out. - Yuzu Cheese Tart: similar to the cheesecake, the yuzu flavor stands out and since these tarts have a stronger cheese flavor (and are more dense), the tartness from the yuzu in this really helps to balance out the rich cheesiness. - Honey Madeleine: almost like a denser muffin. I was surprised at how much bigger they are than the typical madeleine, but I'm not complaining. Light honey flavor that's great with some tea. - Earl Grey Madeleine: light earl grey flavor, but just enough in my opinion. - Matcha Madeleine: matcha flavor stood out well in this. Enjoyed all the madeleines and they would all pair well with tea. All were just moist enough, almost on the dry side though. I enjoyed the cheese tarts the most cause I prefer a stronger taste in flavor but cheesecakes are good for those who want something lighter. The actual size of the cheesecakes were disappointing though, and the fact that they weren't fluffy or jiggly. read more

This was my first time coming to an actual Uncle Tetsu's location so it was nice to see the kitchen and the whole system that they had going on! My wife and I ordered the chocolate cheesecake, the original cheesecake, the matcha tart, and the original tart. I liked the matcha tart and the original cheesecake a lot! The matcha tart had a subtle matcha flavor that wasn't too bitter which was great, and the original cheesecake is so fluffy and the perfect level of sweetness. I felt like the chocolate overpowers the some of the other flavors so I didn't like chocolate as much. I'd definitely order again for a special occasion! read more

Such a cool experience to see the kitchen and order in this particular store. I got a couple of items like matcha cheese tart, original, and the cheesecakes (original and chocolate). I wished they had the matcha cheesecake when I had visited but I guess I will try it next time. I really enjoyed the matcha cheese tart but liked the lightness of the cheesecake better. I definitely felt the chocolate cheesecake was more flavorful and tasted better then the original. So next time I would really want to try the matcha. Only downside is the price is a bit pricy but Definitely can find myself coming here for a occasional treat. read more

At $14 for a cheesecake the price was not too bad however what was disappointing was the height of the cheesecake. I was expecting a taller more fluffy and jiggly cake but what we got was only a couple inches tall with hardly any jiggle.

Stopped in at around 6:40 on a Sunday and there was a line snaking through the store. It was about a 20 minute wait. We ordered a cheesecake, a cheese tart, and the matcha cheese tart. The cheesecake was great - it was nice and fluffy and light. The tarts were not my cup of tea. I discovered that maybe tarts are just not my thing. They have rotating flavors but I'm not sure how often that changes. I'm not sure if it was worth the wait, but I'm still glad we got the chance to check it out. read more

Previously, they had an amazing yuzu limited edition flavour too! Their cheesecakes are fluffy, light, and not super sweet at all. Definitely can consume one entire cake in one sitting! They also have seasonal brand stamps on the cakes as well like this lunar new year one. The matcha flavour was subtle and I would get it again. read more

Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake - Matcha - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Uncle tetsu's has a line of cheese tarts I have wanted to try for quite some time, but we always ended up grabbing the whole cheese cake, and always forgot about these little things. I picked up one of the tarts this weekend to try, and it wasn't what I expected at all. The crust was very tasty, crunchy, sweet short bread cookie that remained nice and hard. The filling was very soft and moist, the centre was not set. Only the top was. The matcha flavour carried throughout the tart, not overwhelming as sometimes matcha can be in excess. The texture definitely threw me off from what I was expecting as it was nothing like the traditional $14 whole cheesecake The service at the store was great, this time no line up, lucky me! I was able to quickly grab and go, and they shelves were filled with product. read more

I NEVER EVER liked cheesecake, so Uncle Tetsu's was just barely on my list of things to visit while in Toronto. On my very last day in the city, I figured I'd stop by just for the heck of it, and oh boy am I glad I did! The experience all starts with the store front; the kitchen has a huge window facing the street. You can literally see every cake being poured by hand, and then placed into the oven. When you step into the store, you can see the cakes being taken out of the baking pans and then placed into individual boxes. The rows of boxes (pictured) on the counter seem never ending. I was told that they sell out every single day, and sometimes close early when they run out of cakes! As I was reading the boxes on the counter, I saw the ingredients list: flour, eggs, cream cheese, sugar, butter, and milk. THATS IT! All things I can pronounce!!! I picked up the original cheesecake and took it to-go. (There is no seating at this location, but if you exit into the mall, and go down one flight there are food court styled tables and chairs.) I walked back to my hotel, placed the cheesecake on the table, and went along with my day. Before heading out for the night, I figured I'd crack the box open and give it a try. With my first bite, I realized that this cheesecake had to be one of the best cakes I have ever had in my entire life. If I had to describe it, I would say it was the consistency of a thick fluffy pancake, just lighter and airy. I ate 3/4 of the cheesecake, and then heated up a slice in the microwave (10 seconds) to try it warm--- it was just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Before I could even finish the cheesecake, I was already trying to strategize how I could get back to Uncle Tetsu's and pick up 2 or 3 more before my flight to enjoy back home. Long story short, I recommend trying the original cheesecake. If you are a fan of light-airy pancakes, you will love this cheesecake. Make sure to pick up your cheesecake in person to see the process of how its made. And note that they are packaged so nicely, and would make great gifts (had I realized I would have picked up 3 or 4 to give to family back home!!) Staff is attentive, and helpful. They accept cash, and card. No reservation needed, lines do get long and extend out of the store. read more
