| - My my my what to say that hasn't been said before?
Let me say though, that the taste is real!
I got the matcha cheesecake ($20.75) and a baked cheese tart ($8.75) in preparation for valentines, but I guess I got this too soon as we decided to dig into it much earlier rather than waiting
The matcha cheesecake is quite tasty, with a heavy sprinkling of matcha on the outside. Cutting into the cheesecake, it appears the cheesecake portion sits on top of a layer of matcha cake visually. Taste wise, the first flavors that hit you are the creamy cheesecake, then the matcha flavors comes through at the end giving it a light matcha flavor over all, the matcha is not through out the cake. The cheesecake is quite tasty BUT given the price, I'm not sure it's worth trying it more then once.
The baked cheese tart, now this was a real treat. As per the included pamphlet, we heated up the cheese tart for 5 minutes in a toaster oven then started to dig in. Again following the instructions, we broke off the crust to dip into the cheese center. At first look, the cheese tart is quite large, and we were expecting the crust to be dense but we were surprised as the crust was actually very light and flaky, almost croissant like. It definitely made sense to break off some of the crust and dip it in the cheese portion as the cheese was incredibly creamy and easy to dip into with the crust. I would dare say the cheese center, once heated up is almost a slightly denser cheese fondue depending how long you heat it up for. For the price, the taste, the texture and over all this cheese tart is definitely worth trying.
If your a big dessert person, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try at one of its three GTA locations. Though if you aren't a true dessert aficionado, you may want to opt to just try the more wallet friendly baked cheese tart.
