| - Uncle Tetsu opened another store right beside the original store. There was a long line up as usually at the original Uncle Tetsu. We were not going to wait in line, seriously, it's been 3 months and the line has not died down. Well, instead, we went next door to Matcha Cafe as there were no line to see what they are selling. It is still a soft opening as they don't have everything on the menu ready. Currently, only selling soft served ice cream and matcha madeleine. The matcha cheesecake won't be available until August.
I got the matcha soft served ice cream in a cup ($3.99). Honestly, didn't really have much matcha taste at all. I have had better matcha ice cream elsewhere. Not worth the $4. My friend got the mixed matcha & vanilla ice cream and she said the vanilla is overpowering the matcha. On the other hand, I also grabbed a matcha red bean madeleine ($2.22) to try. That was actually much better, it was still a bit warm, cake was fresh, a little crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I got it with red bean in the middle so there was something to chew with. I would come back for more madeleines but it is not cheap.
At least now I have tried a Uncle Tetsu, didn't wait in line for now but I can imagine when they start selling the matcha cheesecake, there will be a secondary line for cheesecake.
