uncle fluffy... more like daddy fluf-- ...*ahem* my bad. Uncle Fluffy has been on my list for like a gajillion years not even joking. my mother is a cheesecake fanatic.... and also an almond mom. so japanese cheesecake is that woman's dream: lighter, less dense, and less sweet than american cheesecakes (the higher protein content from fluffed egg whites also means u could make ur fellow gymbro into "making up" the calories too) the regular cheesecake was yum and the texture was divine: basically if you imagined a fluffy soufflé pancake and cheesecake had a baby. it didn't wow me though, especially since i love things on the sweeter side and it definitely wasn't. for a tiny $11 dessert, it didn't taste like i was indulging in a dirty little sweet treat. so i'll stick w my dense caloric diabetic cheesecakes from the freezer isle at vons. BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN! my mom ATE THAT UNC UPPPPP. she ADORED the cheesecake. also service was quick and sweet. uncle fluffy def has daddy potential xoxo ;P read more

super yummy cheesecake!! i got the original and the lemon, and while both were great i much prefer the original :) the service was great and quick even though it was just one person working (that i could see), she was super kind and awesome to talk to as well!! the restaurant itself is very spacious and honestly the perfect study spot, it has outlets and lots of tables to choose from + a restroom for customers would come again, especially with friends !! read more

Uncle Fluffy - Hazelnut Latte 16 Oz & Regular Cheesecake - Desserts Near Me - Riverside, California

Uncle Fluffy's Japanese cheesecake is definitely different from what most of us are used to. Instead of a dense, rich American-style cheesecake, theirs is light, airy, fluffy, and noticeably less sweet. Texture-wise, it's almost cloud-like, and flavor-wise, it's pleasant and easy to eat. That said... the price is hard to justify. A large cheesecake runs $24.99, which feels steep considering the portion size by American standards. My wife and I do enjoy the flavor and still get it time to time, but every time we pay, we look at each other like... why does this cost so much? As for the rest of the menu-nothing really stands out. It's fine, just not memorable. I tried the caramel macchiato and found the coffee a bit too strong for my taste, with very little caramel to balance it out. The tarts especially are not worth it. $4.99 for a tiny tart that disappears in one or two bites is wild. Nothing about them justifies the price. Overall, if you're curious, the cheesecake is worth trying at least once for the experience. Just go in knowing it's light, not very sweet, and definitely priced more like a specialty item than a regular dessert run. read more

It was my first time at Uncle Fluffy. Service was fast and friendly. The inside is very clean and spacious with lots of available seats both regular tables and high tables. They have an extensive menu but i chose to keep it simple with a caramel macchiato. I would say it was average but nothing special. I would have wished it was a little stronger. Overall drink was okay but it wouldn't be my first choice. I was not able to try their pastries this time which is what they're known for so my review is only a reflection of the drink i got today. Not bad but not the best. read more

First timer! The shop is very clean, and the customer service was awesome, everyone was friendly and helpful. The cheesecakes were the highlight for me: the lemon cheesecake was my absolute favorite, followed closely by the classic. I ordered quite a bit: a regular cheesecake, a lemon cheesecake, two tarts, a mochi, and three drinks, and the total came out to a little over $63. The smoothie was amazing, super fresh tasting and clearly made with real fruit, not powder. The only downside was the coffee. It wasn't bad, just nothing special. I wish they offered adjustable sugar levels or more customizable specialty drinks to round out the café vibe. Overall, a great spot for desserts, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Found out about this cheesecake shop after visiting the Bookoff in the area. No line and no wait. It's definitely different from what you expect from other cheesecakes. Western cheesecakes and the fluffy ones from Uncle Tetsu. This has a bit more of a denser cheesecake texture but has the same taste profile as a Japanese cheesecake. Not too sweet and I do really like their smaller palm size portions. You can share with another person or if some people only want a bite and not order a huge portion that has to be saved for later. Worker was helpful and answered all of my questions. Inside was very modern and clean, there's lots of seating too. No location close to me as of writing this review, but it's a great alternative for cheesecake if you cannot get to a Cheesetella or Uncle Tetsu. read more

I had come a few years back when they had just opened but hadn't since. I had gotten a medium sized cheesecake to share and I remember being impressed with the taste. I decided to stop by again real quick to check it out again. The cafe was clean, modern, and spotless. Only a couple people were inside on a Thursday at noon. There was a lady, asking questions about the cheesecakes to the cashier. Once it was my turn, I decided to get a matcha. The cashier recommended a vanilla matcha and when I asked about the tarts, she said strawberry tart was popular. I decided to get that. I didn't have to wait long for my order. The vanilla matcha was pretty basic. The strawberry tart was delicious! It was whipped and creamy. I would only come back to try the other flavors. Cafe is pretty average. read more

I've been wanting to try this since I saw it on Instagram. Uncle Fluffy is located near The Mall. The parking is tight near it but the parking lot is big. The interior of the place is stark white. It reminds me of a hospital. The moment you walk in you get a wiff of Fabulosa cleaner. No doubt this place is cleaner than a hospital. Service is patient. They have screen with the menu. The menu is put up twice. It makes it seem like they have a big menu. I ordered the sugar free caramel macchiato. It was decently good. I also got a mango tart and the smallest pistachio fluffy cake. My order came out in a bag. It's the smallest bag. I felt like items were mini cakes. The cake itself was fluffy but soggy at parts. I hate comparing it to Uncle Tetsu but they just don't measure up. The mango tart was nothing special. It wasn't worth $5. I think I'll stick with Uncle Tetsu. read more

Uncle Fluffy - Boxes worth almost $60 bucks - Desserts Near Me - Riverside, California

I wanted to try this spot because I constantly see this pastry on social media. I went down to the Tyler mall and decided to stop on our way back. Once inside it was not busy at all, no customers waiting in line, yet we came in and had to ask for help. We had never been there before so we were not sure about the price of how to order. Basically all of the cakes are very small and very pricey. They were not what I expected but neither was the price or service. I'm glad I tried it, yet definitely wouldn't make the drive just to get Uncle Fluffy. Ambiance was very simple, service was not great at all. Again expected more. read more

I got here at 8:25. And Unfortunately, I left empty handed. They didn't have any cheesecake. The girl behind the counter said someone was bringing more to the store. If I wanted to wait 15 min. I don't know where he was coming from to be bringing more to this place. But, this was very disappointing. And I had people in the car waiting. I didn't want to wait. read more

Pretty fresh cakes. We stumbled upon this cake shop by chance. The name uncle fluffy is what caught my attention. I wanted to try the cinnamon pie and the cheesecake. The cinnamon pie was really good. The crust was perfect and the cinnamon filling was light and fluffy. It had a nice cinnamon flavor and wasn't too overpowering. Loved it. The cheesecake wasn't like American cheesecake at all. It tasted more like pound cake to me. It was good for what it was. But not my favorite though. Service was good. And the shop was very clean. It's extremely clean and cute inside. I liked the decor! The cheesecake was pound cake read more

Nothing special. No wonder i was the only one there. What I am most disappointed about is how overpriced the cheesecakes are. The prices are outrageous! The menu prices online don't even reflect the prices in the store. I got a large but really it should be called a small for $27. I thought maybe for the price the quality of the cake was going to be phenomenal but no, it was just like all the other Asian sponge cheesecakes. The regular size cheesecakes that should be called individual or mini ones are $11! Don't get me started on the X-Large.. You can get the same kind of Asian sponge cheesecake for a Real Large Cake that's even decorated nicely with chocolate covered strawberries on the top for $30 and a slice that is the same size as a regular here for $3 at Uncle Chuangs Bakery on Iowa in Riverside . read more

I hope they open more locations in SoCal soon because wow, the cheesecake was so good! I came around 5:30pm & there were a few people hanging out inside. I decided to go with a small sized cheesecake & a strawberry shortcake shake. The cheesecake was really good and the size was so cute. It was already like 90% for me but if I had it fresh, it would probably be 100%. The shake was okay, a little way too sweet for me but it balanced out the cheesecake read more

Hello! OMG! I'm so excited that there is a Japanese cheesecake place close(r) to home! If you guys never have Japanese cheesecake, you need to try it!! I had it in Vegas it was so addicting! And up until now I thought it was the closest place to get one! So when I heard about this place, I went to try it! Is it as good as Vegas? No, but it's darn near close! Beats a three hour drive to Vegas! Guys it's amazing but the price is a bit overpriced, but still worth it for being close to home. The service was nice, and quick. The outside looks sketchy being across the street from the Tyler mall in a little strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The inside was open, clean, and well lit. I highly enjoyed and will be going almost every paycheck! Haha read more

So I was next door grabbing some bread from a bakery and wanted to make the hour drive worth it. Seen this next door and been meaning to try it! So glad that I did and worth the wait.

The place was pretty big inside and very clean. read more

Uncle Fluffy has made its way to Riverside to bring us their take on Japanese cheesecake and tarts. FOOD / DRINKS The delicate, light and fluffy Japanese cheesecake just melts in your mouth and is not to be confused with the dense and heavy American cheesecakes. I tried their Original Cheese Tart and their Mango Tart and I preferred the Mango Tart. Not outstanding but not terrible either. The Original Tart had an off-putting "it's been sitting in the fridge" taste. Ugh. On a positive note, the cheesecake was good and I enjoyed it. They do have delicious-looking drinks or teas I'd like to try some time. LOCATION / PARKING Uncle Fluffy is located on Magnolia near Tyler (across from the Galleria at Tyler) in Riverside. There's limited parking, as the lot is shared by other neighboring businesses within the plaza. ATMOSPHERE The shop is decorated in almost all white from the flooring to the walls and to the table; however, the atmosphere didn't feel bright or open for me. It had a weird ambiance - almost uninviting. The lighting was a bit dim too (see photo). It's one of the things I look for so this was a minus in my book. SERVICE Being that I was the only one in the shop, I expected good service but the girl who helped me wasn't as helpful as I'd like. I asked her which items were most popular here but she didn't have any recommendations for me. BRANDING I like their signage at the front - good font choice. But the box and overall branding wasn't up to par with my personal taste in gift-giving. The box itself is glossy but with outdated hues of yellow and brown that didn't match the more prettier posters at the front of their store. Overall, I think it's great that Riverside to has a different dessert option like Uncle Fluffy. I do like their cheesecake and would happily recommend you try it! read more

I'm not much of a desert guy but when I was told about Uncle Fluffy and their delicious Japanese Cheesecake I was sort of intrigued. I like cheesecake and I enjoy Japanese food and culture. I wasn't willingly seeking out Uncle Fluffy until I stumbled on it when I was shopping elsewhere? So why not? Located in a very busy mini mall with Ross, Sally Beauty and many other businesses the parking situation is not the best. The interior is kinda eh. Sparsely decorated with some tables and chairs. Not a place I'd hang out to eat Japanese cheesecake that's for sure. Uncle Fluffy is VERY busy and people ask lots of questions at the register so mentally prepare yourself for a wait. They were also out of some items like tarts. I knew what I wanted so I just ordered a couple small Japanese cheesecakes for the kiddos. At $10.99 each they are not cheap. They're personal sized lol. I should have bit the bullet and got the large (a much better deal at $24.99) but I had other stuff to do and didn't see any ready. The cheesecake itself is phenomenal. Light, FLUFFY and not too rich. I can understand the hype. Would I return to Uncle Fluffy? YES. Would I wait if there was a line out the door? NO. The cheesecake is absolutely worth trying and maybe I'll get something else if it's available. Recommended! read more

Uncle Fluffy - Menu as of 2/17/24 - Desserts Near Me - Riverside, California

Tastes authentic, been craving Japanese cheesecakes for a while. Glad I drove this far to get one. Macaroons were ok. Frosted mocha tastes like a milkshake, didn't taste a drop of coffee. Pistachio Tart ironically doesn't taste like pistachios lol but, at the end of the day, I did come for the cheesecake and that was good. Is it pricey? Maybe. It's not like we can get them anywhere though, sizes are appropriate imo. Service was iffy, the girl with the glasses in the front almost seems irritated to have customers coming in. !! A little tip: if you check in you get 20% off, I checked in a bit too late unfortunately!! read more

First time visitor, and I tried the coconut tart, a small cheesecake, and an iced caramel macchiato. The coconut tart was the most delicious tart I've ever tried, the crust was cooked to perfection, and the coconut flavor was refreshingly sweet yet tart. The cheesecake is delicious and reminds me of a cross between cheesecake and pound cake. It would be delicious with any number of topping options as well, although it's satisfyingly sweet on its own. I can't wait to go back and try other tart flavors, and get more cheesecake. Clean, bright and friendly atmosphere. Many choices for smoothies, shakes, tarts, cheesecake and toppings. Ample parking. Friendly employees. read more

Uncle Fluffy is located across the street from the busy Tyler Gallery Mall but is located in a quiet corner. I think I have seen enough YouTube channels to want to see a jiggly cheesecake, and though I did not get too much jiggle from my mini cake, I did get a subtly sweet treat. I don't know about you, but I have had my share of firm, soft, and "is it suppose to be this airy" type of cheesecakes, but at Uncle Fluffy, I feel like I got the perfect texture. First, let's talk about the tarts. There are several flavors in a nice, round mini-pie, about 2-3 inches in radius (or is it diameter? Whatever. It's the width of the tart). It's big enough for one person to share or keep to themselves. I didn't share. The flavors come standard, such as chocolate, plain, and strawberry, but I liked my pistachio. It's a subtle flavor, but you still taste the cheese. Not too sweet at all! There is no jiggle in these tarts, just a delicate sweetness to be enjoyed by someone who does not need the sugar rush. I did get a small Uncle Fluffy cake, and that can also be shared by two. It had that special bounce, but if you put it in the fridge, it's less bouncy. This was a wonderful cake! Again, not too sweet, a lively cheesecake blend, and eats like a sponge cake but not too spongy. I would love to pick up a bigger cake for my family. They serve various drinks if you're really looking for something sweet. Or, you can order the matcha (which has a very good bitter matcha flavoring). Overall, I enjoyed and would like to return. read more

OMG! We were in the area to try a new place for desserts and found this place on Yelp. When we got inside, there was a line from the door to the cashier. The place was clean and there were table and chairs inside to enjoy the food and drinks. Our family ordered the large Uncle Fluffy cheesecake, plus blended drink; matcha strawberry & mocha. We had to wait 30 minutes for them to bake our fluffy cheesecake,but I don't mind at all. It was definitely worth the wait. OMG! The fluffy cheesecake was amazing!!! Not too sweet but airy and delicious. Coffee would be a perfect pair to it but we ate it with our cold drinks instead, which were pretty good too.

Had to try the infamous shakey cake! It's a cheesecake cake! It's delicious!! The cake is pricey, but oh so good! I had to order and pay ahead by phone otherwise they can't guarantee there will be any because they do run out. The lady on the phone was pleasant. When we arrived to pick it up it was ready for us. We had to try something else on the menu. They have beverages. We tried the horchata mocha. It was very sweet which is fine if you love super sweet drinks. They have other items on the menu we plan to try on the next trip. The place is small, but most go there to pick up. The fluffy cake was for my mother in laws birthday. She had never tried it before.

Happened to be in the area and saw their sign, but yelp said they were closed ... But they were OPEN so call or check if u really want to go. I told the staff there that yelp said they were closed. The staff was nice and attentive. The cheesecake... Was alright. I want to know if it tastes better straight out of the oven but they said it's supposed to be cold. The original egg tart was the best thing here and I would gladly come back just for that. The pistachio was pretty good too and the third best is the chocolate. Everything else was ok (I tasted all of them except the strawberry because that was sold out. It was buy 4 get 1 free so I figured why not). The drink was ok too. I got the iced vanilla matcha latte. I'd give them a shot again. read more
