| - I am SO happy that this relatively new Japanese Style Cheesecake shop is near me. It is in downtown Streetsville, in a plaza where the popular Streetsville bowling alley is located. It is right across from the Christian Bookstore. Look out for Tim Hortons and Gino's Pizza to get into the plaza. Parking is definitely NOT an issue here. Hence, I am SO glad that they chose to open their shop in the plaza instead of the side streets.
The shop itself is quite small. This is more of a takeout place so there aren't any tables for customers to enjoy the cheesecakes and tarts. After all, these are full-sized cheesecakes so you will most likely need to share it with people.
In terms of the cheesecake, I can say that Supermoon has THE BEST cheesecakes in Toronto. Definitely better the other contestants, such as Uncle Tetsu, HCafe and Cheese Garden. It is soft and airy, and definitely NOT oily. I love that there's a distinct lemon flavour in it. They also claim that they don't add any sugar in it. As a matter of fact, the picture on their menu board says that they use butter, flour, 3 types of cheese, fresh milk and eggs to make the cheesecake. I absolutely LOVE their cheesecakes ($12 each).
I also had the privilege to try the flavour of the month cheesecake - Lemon Matcha - in April. It was alright, nothing too spectacular. I can definitely taste matcha flavour, but I still prefer the original. On another occasion, I tried the red velvet one and similar to the lemon matcha, it was only alright. I wasn't wowed by it. I would recommend the original cheesecake to everyone. I totally agree with their slogan, "It is OUT OF THIS WORLD".
They also have cheese tarts and I think Supermoon makes them really well. I love their crust as it is buttery but not too oily and it isn't phyllo pastry-like. The cheese filling is both sweet and salty; it is absolutely perfect. I also love that it is 4 for $10 or $3 for 1 - this is a little cheaper than the other Japanese Cheesecake shops.
Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of their bubble tea. It is the powder kind that one can probably make at home. There are various flavours that you can choose from, but I think it is very overpriced ($6 each). I am not sure why they decided to add BBT to their menu. They do serve hot chocolate ($6 each) but I think other drinks such as coffee or tea would be a better choice to pair it with the cheesecakes/cheese tarts.
This is truly a hidden gem in Streetsville, Mississauga! There are currently lemon meringues available at the store, so I will have to go back soon to try them!
