Diana

The angel hat cake is the same price but leagues better than the original! Both very light and delicious though. Put them in the fridge if you want a denser cheese flavour.

Charysse G. R

The cheesecake was light, fluffy and warm! I really loved this! You'll especially love it if you're not a massive fan of NY cheesecake .

Gorkem Oz

Stopped by after reminiscing the taste from Japan. Only 5 min wait for the cupcakes on a weekday evening. All of them were delicious.. Do not miss it.

Mark Orlan

Check to make sure all three ovens are working before you join the line ; otherwise your wait may be 50% longer than the usual 1.5 hour wait.

Mimi

If you're having dinner in the area, check out this place and grab a Matcha Soft Cream cone ! Very refreshing. You'll notice the difference in quality immediately! Prepare to wait in line though!

Joan Duong

Awesome cheesecake , they out sold the green tea cheesecake but the classic was so light and fluffy it was heaven itself

Kat 🐱

The cheesecake is pretty creamy but it's not as fluffy as expected. I actually like the honey madeleine more than the cheesecake !

Besma Soliman

Light fluffy cheesecake ! We really enjoyed it also yum with strawberries ! We didn't wait long on a weekday

Jason

Finally lined up to see if the cheesecake actually lived up to the hype. I'm not a fan. I wouldn't line up again. It has a white egg type texture to it, similar to other Asian desserts I have tried.

Laura Shum

Really good but I wouldn't wait more than 10 mins for it lol I went at 8:30am and waited 10-15ish mins

Mimi

Would return for the matcha soft serve . Very rich, knocks all the green tea ice-creams out of the park .

Alina D

Great cheesecake but not so great to have to line up for it. They are charging $4 per quarter at their Union pop-up shop wherein a whole cake is $10

Prachy Mohan

Matcha madelines are so good! Liked the red bean matcha madeline as well but it's a bit heavy.

Shanna Scott

I prefer the cheesecake at room temperature or the day after vs. fresh out of the oven. Also, weekday mornings have shorter wait lines .

PlasticOyster

Cash only & one cake at $8.88 equals to exactly $10! They'll hand out cards toward the end of the night when they're running low on supply.

K M

The green tea cheesecakes are just as good as the original! There usually isn't a line either.

Sergiukas Garcia

A long wait for a over valued cheese cake . I d rather prefer and American cheesecake with a capuccino or latte in another place.

Desmond Foo

Try eating the cheesecake when it's warm and fresh, it tastes completely different after being in the fridge overnight.

Doug L

Fluffy cheese cake and enjoyment of waiting 2.5 hours just to get one!

Michelle

Skip the crazy lineup next door and go for the matcha cheesecake here. It's yummier AND no lineup. Double score!

Taus

Yes, the lineup sucks but the cake is that much better because of the wait. Come here during off-peak times to avoid waiting for hours.

Josica 🦔

Best Cheesecake I ever had!

Etienne St-Yves

Take some of everything a cake is 10$ cookies are 5 and the cupcakes like 3.

Carl Haydel

The wait can be long, but totally worth it! Very unique cheesecake .

Feryal ML

Different taste of cheesecake which you should test once

Yash Kadaru

Warning: the wait times here are about ~45 mins. Cheesecake very, very good. Fluffy, beautiful smell and light flavor. Madeline 's are overrated though, not worth.

Hashem A

I prefer the Angel Hat over the traditional one!

Myriam D.

Line-up was not so bad. Cheesecake is fluffy and amazing!

Meghan McGee

There is usually a line so go during the day if you want a cheesecake .

Martin Laws

Unless you really, really like matcha - don't bother with the matcha location and stick to the classic or angel hat stores

boki

Creamy yet fluffy. Highly recommend the cheesecake .

Andrew S

Cheesecake were very good. Nice and fluffy

Monica Vilchis

Delicious!!! line is very long but it worth it

Ayşegül K.

The best cheesecake I’ve ever had!

Lears Fool

Go early on a weekday and avoid the line !

Alejandro Portela

Tastes better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours!

urbanbuddha

Much shorter line than the Uncle Tetsu's store beside it.

Laura Shum

Eat the madelines while they're warm! Cash or debit only

Shelli Bean

skip the line and go straight for madeleines . that's mostly where the heavenly smell comes from

Tricia Chiu

Worth the wait !!! Light as air~~

Max Reeder

Cash only , American debit won't work (Canadian debit works tho)

S P

Light moist smooth and soft, almost cakelike.

Olga Aguirre

Ver y nice place to discover in Toronto

Victor Zhang

long lines , but wonderfully fluffy cheesecakes .

Anu J

Line is always out the door and around the block! Not even exaggerating!

Nastja Stacey

Go here if you like matcha staff

Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑
