Was thrilled to discover that the cake was not overly saccharine but nice and light. There was also a substantial amount of aromatic sesame on the top layer but not so much where it masked the taste of cream cheese. I found the little white chocolate covered puffed rice/rice krispies balls' (dragées?) crunchiness had added some nice texture to the smooth cake--win! You wouldn't feel bloated and heavy after eating a small piece which I loved. We purchased the Sesame Cheesecake at 8 inches priced at $40 which was fairly reasonable for a unique cake like this. As well, the website to place orders was self-explanatory and not complicated to use. My only comment is to allow for payment online either via mediums such as Paypal or Googlepay etc., but that is at the discretion of the business owner. There were other baked goods on sale which I would love to try during my next visit. read more

Oishiii Sweets - Sesame Cheesecake 8" $40 - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a really cool Cafe with cool desserts. I have the Yuzu white chocolate cookie and black sesame cookie. The black sesame cookie tasted like black sesame seeds and bird food. Don't ask me how I know what that tastes like but that's what it tastes like. I enjoy black sesame desserts but I didn't like it in this cookie form. I liked the yuzu cookie though. They have other cool desserts like macarons and mochi donuts, among other Japanese cakes. They also have the Chestnut Cream Mont Blanc dessert which is not easy to find in Scarborough. I would recommend this shop if you're looking for something unique in North Scarborough. Credit card accepted here read more

Tiffany and her team are so awesome! I placed an order for custom cookies over email. I had a bunch of questions so it took some back and forth but Tiffany was very patient with me and answered pretty quickly. After the custom order was figured out, I was sent an online form where I could pay a deposit. I was super excited on the day of the pickup. The shop is so insanely cute. It took everything in my power not to buy everything. There are ready to purchase cookies and other baked goods displayed throughout the store. I saw some Totoro themed ones and even very trendy Among Us cookies. There were some Lunar New Year inspired cookies including a very cute cow and some lucky cats as well. It's a really great spot for picking up gifts in the form of baked goods. They also carry some unique card designs to go with your gift. The shop is also a cafe and there is a Yelp check-in offer for a free espresso shot. The custom cookies I ordered (Magic: the Gathering themed ones) were amazinggg! They looked exactly like how I expected them to. I actually got the idea for them through their online gallery so definitely check that out - they do some pretty amazing stuff. She actually made 2 extra ones on top of the 6 I ordered which was actually really smart. A full hand in MTG is normally 7 cards so that made for better pictures. Not sure if she did that intentionally for the theme or she was just being kind but it worked out for us perfectly. Lastly, the cookies are very tasty. Even the smell of the box was amazing on it's own. Isn't it the best when your treats look and taste great?! read more

Great customer service & wide range of desserts that are unique compared to the GTA dessert scene! I tried their Hong Kong Milk Tea cheesecake which was on the not so sweet side which was a family bonus. I enjoyed their matcha & hojicha brownie the most! Will be back to try other items for a special occasion. read more

Located in Kennedy between finch and steeles, this place serves up delicious Japanese sweet treats. On this visit, we got a milk tea tofu cheesecake for an event. Absolutely delicious! The milk tea flavor had that strong tea flavor without being bitter. The cheesecake has a light airiness that is typical of Japanese cheesecakes but with good cheese flavor. The crust sets up a strong contrast to the soft cake. 5/5 Price: 32$ for a cake which is on the more expensive end but totally worth it. Get it to impress your friends and family! read more

Been meaning to give this place a visit since pre-COVID but obviously didn't pan out. I was in the area and decided to drop by! Upon first impression, this place didn't look promising from the exterior. I mean, their big logo sign was cute and all, but they had really sketchy "WERE OPEN" signs posted, literally made with bright Bristol board and sharpie. Walking in, things looked more at par. I ended up picking up three items. 1. Black sesame mochi muffin: Honestly lacking in appearance... I've seen ones that are more presentable. I was really happy to be able to see some of the mochi when cutting this open, and though it can be felt when biting into it, I believe more mochi would be better! There was also a subtle grainy feel to the muffin, which affected the overall mouth-feel of this dessert. The black sesame flavors are quite strong, but I'd never disagree to more. A winning factor of this for me was definitely how crispy the edges were, which greatly contrasted the inner texture (4.5 out of 5.0) 2. Hojicha brownie: Since it's a roasted green tea, I find hojicha's flavor palette to be stronger, and so, it came through nicely in this dessert. Overall a sweeter treat, but still within my "acceptable sugar levels" as per my personal preference. I wasn't too fond of the inner texture which felt slightly "pasty" (for a lack of a better word) upon chewing, but the crispy exterior was very enjoyable, not to mention the crushed Oreos to top it off! This was a little bit of a heavy feeling dessert in my opinion, warranting a total of 4.0 out of 5.0. 3. Black sesame cheesecake: As far as aesthetics go, this one takes the cake! (lame, sorry). This black sesame mousse is layered on cheesecake and then is topped with some white chocolate, a blackberry, and some toasted black sesame seeds (small detail, but I loved this addition for flavor and texture). As you all know, I'm not diehard for cheesecake so I was thankful that this palette wasn't overwhelming. However, I found that because cheesecake is naturally quite strong, these notes pulled me away from the black sesame (would have loved this to be the dominant flavor palette). Both mousse layers were very soft and smooth; but the base crust could have been crunchier for contrast (4.2 out of 5.0) Though it would be an entirely different cake, I think this would have been better without its cheesecake component. read more

Saw this place off Instagram and decided to try this out. The first time, I ordered a milk tea cake for my friend's birthday (~$30). The flavour of milk tea was very prominent and so delicious! I decided to come here again and try the black sesame tofu cheesecake and the milk tea tart. I was a little bit disappointed by both as I feel like the flavours were not really there. I would love to try some of their other cakes and tarts and perhaps even the black sesame tofu cheesecake again. read more

I've been coming to Oishiii Sweets to buy small treats for my friends on their COVID birthdays, and I finally got to try something myself on New Years! Unpopular opinion, but I don't actually like cheesecake... but this Ube cheesecake was soooo good! It was super light, wasn't too sweet, and it actually tasted like Ube! Their prices are also unbeatable compared to other trendy bakeries in the area The bakery itself is spacious and packed full of delicious treats and even handmade cards. There's so many more things that I want to try from here so I'll definitely be back! :) read more

Oishiii Sweets - 6" Ube Tofu Cheesecake ($30) - Desserts Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I see a lot of reviews are based around the sweets/desserts, but my perspective is more from the cafe offerings. We weren't really craving any sweets so decided to try out the place's drinks. The Ube Latte in photos looked fantastic so we gave that a try. Definitely a MUST TRY if you like ube/taro. It was creamy, flavourful, yet not overly sweet. To nitpick, it didn't feel like it was steamed hot enough but you could ask then to steam it extra hot. We checked in on Yelp and got a promo free espresso shot, so I added it to a Flat White that I ordered. The coffee beans they use is quite mild, and for a double shot drink it wasn't too strong. There was also a small section with some Etsy cards that were really cute and simple, so we picked one up for $6.50. Overall, their drink options are quite strong but wouldn't be a top contender if only going for take out espresso drinks. Ube Latte was phenomenal and would love to try it cold. Will be back in the future to try out the desserts! read more

My order: Milk tea cheesecake I wanted to get something special for mother's day despite the pandemic. Tiffany was quick to respond via email. They have some awesome Asian fusion cheesecake flavors such as Strawberry Lychee, Milk tea, Black Sesame-Tofu, etc. I loved how their baked goods weren't too overpowering in flavor or sweetness. It was just the right amount. Paid by tap/credit card due to the current situation. I'd love to visit again after this covid-19 thing blows over. read more

Tried some other things: Hojicha brownie - 10/10 SO AMAZING! Lots of hojicha flavour, super soft and moist. I've gotten this sooo many times and it's been perfect everytime. Hojicha cake slice - 9/10 creamy light hojicha flavour Black sesame cake slice - 5/10 not that good... I think there's not enough deep black sesame taste Black sesame cookie - 10/10 so much black sesame flavour & soft chewy cookie. woows if you love black sesame, you need to try this Matcha white choco cookie -10/10 strong matcha flavour, soft cookie! Black sesame mochi muffin - 9/10 again lots of flavour and amazing mochi texture Ube mochi muffin - 7/10 texture is good but not much ube flavour read more

Have you ever tried a Black Seasame Tofu Cheesecake?! It is not too sweet, has a refreshing taste and it is perfect for Black Sesame lovers! It is composed of a biscuit layer with black sesame, tofu and cheese, and sesame cheese. The black sesame adds an unexpected nutty flavor to complement the cake! Together with the tofu, it becomes velvet and fragrant. There are individual sizes or as a whole: 6", 8", 10". I ordered the 8" and shared amongst 13 people (small slices) as a great ending to a meal. A note that it is a pretty short cake as are most cheesecakes. Oishiii Sweets also has many other specialty cake flavors like Black Sesame, Strawberry Lychee, Milk Tea, Yuzu Citrus, Viet Coffee, Earl Grey, Matcha Green Tea, and Hojicha! I will definitely be back to try their other stuff since everything sounds so yummy! They also have cookies, brownies, tarts, etc... and even classes! Available for Take Out. Call, DM questions on IG for a quick response, or place your order online! They are located in the same plaza as the pizza pizza on Kennedy and Steeles with plenty of parking spaces. Keep an eye out for their mascot; Larry the Alpaca! read more

Now open for delivery/pickup/takeout! I found this place through an Instagram ad showing their Asian-inspired tart flavours -- yuzu? HK milk tea? Black sesame? Knew I had to give this place a try! It's conveniently located just south of Pacific Mall in the same plaza as a Pizza Pizza on the corner, and easy enough to find from the bright red (adorable) sign outside. We walked in hoping they'd have a good variety of pastries for those of us who did not pre-order, and they did not disappoint. There were cute iced cookies, baked goods, and all their cheesecakes tempting us from the glass case. Having done a bit of research online, I knew what sorts of sweets they offered, but was surprised by the bigger-than-expected cookies. We ended up ordering a slice of the Vietnamese coffee tofu cheesecake (soft with a subtle coffee taste, not too sweet at all). We also tried an iced matcha latte (milky, nice light flavour for a hot day) and an iced espresso mojito (the strong coffee was like KAPOW on my tongue while discerning pieces of mint leaves), AND the friendly owner gave us a bonus matcha-Oreo brownie to try! Personally this was more dense and sweet than I would have preferred for a brownie (the Oreo overpowered the matcha) but it was fairly substantial and I wouldn't mind testing their other bakes later on. Will have to come back and actually try the tarts for sure. read more

This cute little cafe in located in the plaza behind the pizza pizza on Kennedy/Steeles. The origin of Oishiii Sweets started with their mascot named Larry; an alpaca who is dearly loved by customers. They specialize in making beautiful pastries, cakes cookies, and also drinks. Why I recommend this cafe is because nothing is made too sweet. It really reminds me of Japan's desserts (beautiful, tasty and not overwhelmingly sweet). They make a great place to buy sweets for someone if they aren't much of a sweet tooth. Besides being a great place to relax, they also offer cookie decorating classes which cost $250 for up to 10 people! They are perfect for bridal showers, birthdays, corporate events and dates ;) Be sure to DM their instagram or call for more info! read more

My fiancé ordered mochi donuts ahead for me to pick up at 5pm a week before. I called and asked a day before picking up if I can pick it up earlier at 1 pm and they said it was fine so that's good :) The shop is clean and the baked goods looked amazing. I asked if they can cut my mochi donuts in half so I can give half to my friend. They did it without complaining which is good and also gave me another box to put the halves in. Mochi donuts were amazing!!! My favourite flavours were viet coffee and lemon lavender which tastes like fruit loops. I also got hojicha latte, matcha brownie and a matcha cookie. If only they have a location in Mississauga or Brampton, I wouldn't need to drive so far but I will return again one day! Definitely recommend! read more

This cute cafe in North Scarborough is my guilty pleasure. It's a blessing and a curse that I live within short driving distance but with that, I've been able to indulge in MANY of the different Asian inspired flavoured treats that they offer. I love tofu cheesecake, and I love it even more when it's flavoured with different teas. Out of all of the flavours, my favourite would have to be matcha and the black sesame. Not too sweet (Asian mom approved) and strong flavours, I've ordered their full cheesecakes for multiple occasions. I also love their strawberry cheesecake cups, the whipped cream, strawberries and crunchy graham cracker bites are both a texture and flavour bomb. I recommend to try everything here if you can. BUT, if you had to choose only a few items, I would go for their cheesecakes, cookies, and strawberry cheesecake cups. I can't get enough of this place and I'm happy to say I'm close to having tried their whole menu at this point. Please visit here, you won't regret it. read more

Really good everything mochi cafe! We ordered the assorted mochi donut & mochi muffin (Ube & Black sesame) Everything was really good! Amongst the muffins, both the ube one stood out a bit more as it had a more mochi isque texture and wasn't as sweet. The donuts were good, especially the matcha white chocolate though just a tad tad too sweet. read more

Say Hojicha and I am there! I ordered their hojicha cheesecake online and it was easy to do everything off of their website. This cheesecake was definitely a perfect way to end a meal. The hojicha flavour was prominent and not too sweet, with a smooth, silky texture. The crust was nice and crumbly and again, not too sweet. It was like an end of the meal tea and dessert all in one. I am definitely itching to order again to try their Yuzu Citrus cheesecake next or getting a set of their cheesecake tarts! read more

If you ever need that something special for a party, wedding, or birthday, getting custom made decorated cookies is the perfect way to show thought in a gift. Tiffany's custom cookies do not only look good, but they also taste great. Tiffany and her team take time to ensure they get every detail right with your custom orders. The customer service is great. If you're ever craving for Japanese inspired dessert I always come here for their tofu cheesecakes, Mochi muffins, and Mochi donuts! I recently picked up her DIY Halloween cookie set and in the store the team was meticulous with cleaning, they sanitized surfaces down, and wear masks to ensure a safe and sanitized environment for their customer. read more

Got green tea & rainbow muffins. They were so so - rather one dimensional

I made an impromptu visit recently as I wanted to pick up a sweet treat for some friends. It was late afternoon and usually by this time most bakeries have little selections left. I made a quick call to Oishii and surprisingly they had a few whole cheesecakes left- milk tea, ube and hojicha. Since I was just 15/20 mins away, I thought I would just head over without reserving a cake. Oh boy I was wrong and should have held one for the flavours since once I got there, all 3 cakes were sold! I was relieved to hear that they actually had a few whole matcha cheesecakes available so u decided to go for it! They also had slices of chestnut, sesame and durian cheesecake left and this was at around 4:30pm. The matcha cheesecake was yummy. It had the right amount of matcha flavour and the texture of the cheesecake was still light and not too heavy for a late night dessert. I did also get two slices of durian cheesecake for my friend and the staff there mentioned they do incorporate the real fruit so it must be tasty for durian lovers! Before I left Oishii, I did get 'pick me up' drink and opted for the ube latte. This was recommended by the staff and it was bang on! The ube latte was sooo good, I would definitely go for a larger size if it was available. I also had it with alternative milk (oat milk to be exact) which made the hot drink extra creamy! A thumbs up to Oishii..I'll definitely be making future visits! read more

I ordered yuzu lemon cheese cake for my mom's birthday. I personally didn't like how they added lemon zest into the cake... I didn't like the texture and the taste of it. I wouldn't include the zest into the cheesecake... if it is a sponge cake or chiffon cake maybe... The cheesecake has nice flavour of yuzu and lemon and it was so creamy and tempting but the crust was bad so I didn't eat after one bite. I think I will order tarts instead of the cake because the crust. I still love their mochi muffins! I purchased again with the cake and it was delicious:) Overall, I will rate them 3.5 for their cake. read more

I am definitely a fan!!! This adorable alpaca themed bakery/cafe is complete with a beautiful abundance of plants and some adorable and delicious sweet treats. I had my first ever mochi donut here (which are delivered from Isabella's) and it was delightful. Just a little bit chewy but still has that great donut texture to it. They had some really interesting flavours like Apple fritter, ube, and crunchy maple. I was actually blown away by their cheesecake tarts- they had an amazing Vietnamese coffee tart and an Ube tart as well. Both were sublime in flavour, not too overwhelming or sweet and just lovely to eat!! Can't wait to try the other offerings they have (mochi muffins! Cookies! They had some funny character themed cookie and macarons available too) and I would definitely come back here to buy a full sized cake. read more

This place recently opened up in my neighbourhood and decided to give it a try. Was really pleased with the service as they were super friendly. Desserts and drinks are amazing and worth the price you pay for them. If you love coffee, tea and desserts this place is for you. Super delicious tarts, cakes, cookies and brownies. Personally I've tried the sesame cheese cake, HK milk tea tart, matcha and sesame cookie and the matcha Oreo brownie. The HK milk tea tart was my favourite as it had a nice crunchy tart crust, creamy filling and aromatic HK milk tea flavour. TLDR; place is SUPER good for desserts and drinks. Worth every penny. read more

Tried their ube cinnamon roll and was pretty impressed. It's an ube flavoured roll with ube condensed milk icing. The flavour is surprisingly not too sweet and it's a great balance of cinnamon and ube. Heating it up for 20 sec in the microwave gave it the perfect amount of softness. The staff are always super friendly too. You can call in before arriving just to make sure things aren't sold out yet and they've been able to set a few things aside for me over the phone. Would definitely recommend for any ube lover. read more

This is a cute place for a sweet and treat ! We tried the Mochi muffin, soft ice cream, and mango iced tea. The Mochi muffin is made with Mochi so it has abit on the chewy side which is abit different from normal muffin. It's worth a try. It's a good idea I think. We also tried the soft ice cream, we choose the pistachio flavour. It's a cute looking ice cream and taste wise though, it's a normal piece of ice cream but does look cute. :) The mango iced tea has good flavour with green tea and real mango fruit piece in it. It's a good drink I have with good aroma immediately after I have "stinky tofu" from the food truck in the same plaza.. lol... Go have stinky tofu first and then come here for a sweet treat for a combo.. :) I probably would come again when I am in the area read more

The black sesame cheesecake is OISHiii ~ I normally don't eat cheesecake because heh .. I don't like cheese but this was bOMb. The black sesame flavour was perfectly balanced with the cheese. It was a very authentic sesame taste. Unlike western style cheesecakes which are usually quite dense, this was so light and airy - it's hard not to finish it all in sitting! We picked this up on Valentine's Day and it seemed like everyone had the same idea to get treats, as the line to pick up was about 10 people long. I definitely want to come back to try their other cakes and small treats in the future. 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Been going to Oishiii for quite some time when their matcha white chocolate cookies are to die for! If it wasn't for the pandemic I'd be there every other day sipping on their espresso mojito while i chat with "Larry" the Llama if I'm ever lucky to meet him :) cakes can be ordered online and usually pickup is within 2 days or more? I guess it depends what you order, but Tiffany is very quick with responding to orders and requests. I like ordering from here because their cakes aren't too sweet and the flavors are quite unique. Whether it'd be the sweetness level or the looks, I still prefer Oishiii more if i need to compare with other cake shops in the area. Keep up the good work & stay safe during our pandemic! read more

This place is a bit hidden but I'm impressed with the selections of desserts they have at the cafe even during this difficult time. I tried their Asian fushion cheesecakes during my visit. I was originally planning to get a full size 6" cake but ended up getting cake slices so that I could try more flavours. I find that Their full sized cakes are reasonably prized at $25 for 6" size. However I do find some inconsistency from their cake displays. Some cakes are taller than others which means you get more cake out of some of them. I enjoyed their Viet coffee and houjicha flavours. Both are very prominent and would be good as a dessert after a meal. I love the strawberry lychee flavour the most out of the three flavours that I tried. It is very summery, refreshing and light. It even has actually lychees in it! Not only it looks darn cute and would be a perfect treat for afternoon tea with some girlfriends. overall, I find that their desserts are not too sweet which is a good thing in my books. I just wish the bottom crust would be crunchier. I find it to be on the soggier side and lacks some crunch or texture for the cake. I would come back again to try their ice creams. They have some interesting flavours. read more
