| - I lined up for less than 15 minutes, and apparently based on what I've been told, there's no rhyme or reason when the best time was. So I got lucky. I bought the original cheesecake, and the honey madelines. This review was based on the fact that I've had Japanese cheesecake before, and French madelines.
I liked New York Cheesecake, and I knew Japanese cheesecake was different. I liked each for what it was, and I think it would have been unfair to judge Uncle Tetsu's because Japanese cheesecake was different to NY cheesecake. I went to Uncle Tetsu's to review their Japanese cheesecake and other items.
That said, their original Japanese cheesecake was yummy!!! For $10, worth it. For future, I would not wait more than 10-15 minutes, but it depended how badly I craved it. At that moment, I wasn't aware of anywhere else that sold Japanese cheesecake (although since then I realised there's one other store); so, I am giving it 4 stars based on the cake, how they genuinely tried to be efficient in getting a cake in your hands (it wasn't their fault so many people came!), and location (easily accessible, near Eaton Centre). I took it home to share with my family, and everyone agreed how delicious it was.
I enjoyed the madelines for what it was, but I wouldn't buy them again. They were yummy but they tasted like similar to a honeyed sponge cake to me?
I took one star away because although they tried to make it easier to sell their items by opening multiple alternate locations, they are still pretty close to each other (i.e. the one next door!?). I've been told they have a location around Union Station but I have not checked it out on whether it's the same thing. For me, it would have made more sense to open another Uncle Tetsu further away, perhaps more north?
