| - I thought Uncle Tetsu only had a cheesecake shop, but right next to that shop Uncle Tetsu has a Matcha Cafe!
This is not a place where you buy your food and sit down to eat it. Its a small space, but its worth a visit especially if you like Matcha.
They have a small menu, and I ordered what was available, which was Matcha Madeleine's ( it was buy 3 get 1 free, so I got two plain Matcha Madeleine's and two with red bean), and I also got Matcha and Milk ice cream.
The Matcha Madeleine's came straight out of the oven so I had them when they were hot. They were light, fluffy and sweet in taste and it was not dense at all. The Matcha flavour was light and sweet, and not over powering. I preferred the Madeleine's with the Red Bean paste in it (there was no actual red beans, just the paste if you were wondering). The red bean paste was sweet and gave the Madeleine's an extra flavour kick which I liked. (Also, I kept two of the Madeleine's to have the next day, and they were still soft and delicious the next day- I kept them in an air tight container)
The ice cream was also Really Good. The Matcha ice cream had a stronger flavour (compared to the Madeleine's) so I am glad I got the ice cream mixed with the Milk flavour. I think the milk flavour is supposed to be like a vanilla , but to me it kinda tasted like the remaining milk you have when you finish all your cereal. You know how that milk is sweet (but not overly so) because of the cereal? It tasted like that, so it was a good balance between them.
Overall, if you don't like Matcha Flavoured food then don't bother coming here.
If you Do like Matcha flavoured food, then Uncle Tetus's is definitely worth a visit.
The food was good, prices were fair (I paid 13.48 for everything), and the staff friendly.
I'm a fan of this place, and I would comeback and order the same thing.
