Visited it during the Xmas promotion & hence got a chance to draw on glasses & canvas magnets. Drinks & sweets were good, service was great & vibes were cozy & welcoming.

The Story
About This Place
Uncle Tetsu on Nguyễn Đăng Giai brings the Japanese chain's signature jiggly loaves to a calm pocket of Thao Dien, drawing expats and locals who want desserts that aren't aggressively sweet. The core product is a cloud-soft cheesecake baked to a pale golden dome, sold whole or by the quarter-slice in Traditional, Matcha, Honey, Chocolate, and Earl Gray variants. The Matcha version layers mild Japanese bitterness against dairy richness; the Earl Gray carries a distinct floral note that sets it apart from the standard Western patisserie options found elsewhere in the neighborhood.
The salted egg cheese tart runs a close second for most-ordered item: crumbly, butter-forward pastry casing filled with a cream cheese and salted egg yolk blend that lands savory-sweet without tipping cloying. They come in sets of four, and the packaging — frequently praised in reviews — makes them a straightforward gift choice. Beyond the cheesecake lineup, the kitchen offers a Basque-style cheesecake, a No Bake Cheesecake, and a Tiramisu in both classic and matcha forms. The drinks list is short and deliberate: Thai milk tea with or without grass jelly, and a Trà Chanh Xí Muội that cuts through the richness cleanly.
The space runs small and unhurried — better suited to sitting with a slice than camping with a laptop. Open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM, it catches the after-dinner dessert window that most Thao Dien cafes leave empty. Among the neighborhood's growing number of dessert-focused spots, this one holds a clear niche: Japanese technique, restrained sweetness, consistent output, and 101 Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars to back it up.
