Out & About #103 | Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Matcha Cafe

6/24/2015

 
Today's excursion all began when I had caught sight of a few images of Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Matcha Cafe, a somewhat spin-off like shop that is located right beside their original Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake shop at Bay and Dundas, appearing on my Instagram feed the night before. It almost seemed as if the square collages were teasing me - one of the biggest Matcha fans ever; a mission to obtain matcha-themed goodies from the cafe, who had its Soft Opening on Monday, was deemed absolutely necessary.

Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Cheesecake opens at 7 AM, likely in the anticipation of early bird cheesecake lovers; its Matcha Cafe counterpart, unfortunately, was discovered to open five hours later at noon.
No time was wasted, though. As the lineup for cheesecake hadn't even extended past the entrance of the shop, we decided to hop into the line.

Watching the cheesecake-baking process is always a fascinating thing to photograph, especially when there is little else to do when the Wi-Fi connection is on the weak side.

Unlike my previous (mid-afteroon) visit, we were able to walk out of the fragrant cake shop in a little over half an hour - quite a contrast to the hour and fifteen minutes spent before.
It was only 11:20 AM at this point, and the neighbouring Matcha Cafe had yet to open. In order to kill forty minutes, I walked around the area, dropping by a Japanese beauty store, which also has a smaller location in North York, and visiting Chatime Toronto for the first time.
Unfortunately, among the six menu items, only two were available at this point: the Matcha Soft Serve and Matcha (Red Bean-less) Madeleines. We were informed, via both the signs on the storefront and interior, that the much-anticipated Matcha Cheesecakes would be added to the available menu items list come August, at the time of the Matcha Cafe's Grand Opening.

I soon returned to Uncle Tetsu, where a longer lineup for cheesecake could be observed. As expected, a small lineup had also started to form outside the Matcha Cafe.

As promised, the doors opened at 12:00 PM sharp.

I purchased two Matcha Soft Serves, one of which I was able to miraculously preserve until I arrived back home, and six Matcha Madeleines, which didn't contain any red bean.

Just as before, the cheesecake was light and airy with a slight cheesiness, all while maintaining a delicate, moist sponginess. Uncle Tetsu, you do not disappoint!
