Yes, it's worth it.

Spoiler

The $10 I mean, not the 2 hours.

 

[Roto13]

I would never wait hours to get into a restaurant. Or an hour. Or half an hour.

I was there this morning before it opened; still waited about an hour and forty minutes. Seems to be about 10 cheesecakes per batch, which takes about 20 minutes. Since it's only 1 cheesecake a person, every 30 people is about an hour wait.

I wouldn't wait in line again, but it is worth $10.

Kuro's Log
Made it to the door after 2 1/2 hour wait.
Legs aching
Patience and snarky remarks gone.
All hope is lost.

ALL HOPE IS LOST!

JUDGEMENT DAY IS NIGH!

 

[Divvy]

Can't believe you lined up two and a half hours for it

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Kuro's log
Just my luck. The last cake was sold just before it got to me

Have to wait another 20 min or so for next batch

Fuck

My

Fucking

Life

Why are they not taking payment now? Why are they pouring out the mix so slowly? Why do they take so long to put it in the bag and explain?


Edit: finally got it. So tired. Fucking EM! BETTER BE WORTH IT OR YOU CARRYING ME TO MUTHAFUCKIN G9999 rank! ;0

 

[EvilMario]

Most disappointing cheesecake ever incoming. I told you 45 minutes, Kuro. Not 3 hours!

 

[Roto13]

No food on Earth is worth 3 hours.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Most disappointing cheesecake ever incoming. I hold you 45 minutes, Kuro. Not 3 hours!

I WAS ALREADY IN LINE! >_<

Had it known it was 10 cakes every 20-30 goddamn minutes...!

There are so many little things from preparation to baking to sales they could do to speed things up.

Had a Madeleine. It's quite warm and tasty. I still want 3 hours of my life back!

Will have cheesecake after resting and comment then. So. Tired....

 

[Divvy]

Well?

 

[Kraftwerk]

He died

 

[Divvy]

RIP Kuro

The cheesecake was too much for this blood sugar

 

[Blackhead]

Well that convinced me to go try out the cake. Blissful death awaits

 

[zroid]

Kuro victimized by sunk cost

we've all been there

 

[Quadratic]

Glad I don't have a sweet tooth because all this talk about Uncle Tetsu would have made me want to go try some cheesecake and see what the fuss is all about. Its just a matter of time before another bakery is going to make a similar cheesecake to capitalize on this.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

HNNNGGGHHHHH

It really doesn't deserve the hype at all.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice departure from the cheesecake most people are used to and it tastes lighter and fluffier; however, I simply feel it doesn't have as much flavour as a good piece of cheesecake and there is no crust or any other goodies on it that you can get by making it at home or getting at a specialty place.

If you can just walk in and get it then all the power to you. It tastes like some of those light "Japanese style" cheesecakes you can get at the Asian supermarkets but it's just a few rungs higher since it is baked fresh right there. I wouldn't even wait 30 min for it.

 

[Quadratic]

Did you take the cheesecake home? Depends on the person but I read that some would rather let it chill than have it fresh from the oven.

Too bad the hype didn't live up to your expectations. With 3 hours, surely you must have gotten some quality Mon Hun action.

Nah couldn't focus. We bought two; one my wife attacked when we got home and the other is in the fridge.

 

[Rinoa]

Will stick to HK Island ones.

 

[Roto13]

I wonder how long it will take for demand to die down.

 

[shadowkat]

I remember always being upset when the guy never got to see Polkaroo.

Never realized it was because Polkaroo had a thing for the laydees.

HA! I always thought the ladies were better because they were the only ones who saw Polkaroo.

Don't ask me how old I was when I figured out who Polkaroo was.

 

[BigJonsson]

Who lines up that long for ANYTHING let alone cheesecake.....I don't get people sometimes


Exception being a few rollercoasters but 1.5 hours is my limit if it's a top 10 coaster

 

[WrenchNinja]

Part of the Gerrard Street East series on the gentrification of the neighbourhood, Coffee Time is a pillar of the community. Not just a coffee shop, it acts as a hub and social centre for people who can't afford the prices of the higher end coffee shops. A home too many in the neighbourhood and a hindrance to others, what does the future hold in store for this dying franchise?

I'm with Roto on this one. I wouldn't do it, unless there's a special reason why.

yeah 3 hours is a hella long time.
when I went, it was like the middle of the day and got it within 40mins. basically took my whole lunch break though

 

[BigJonsson]

Coffee Time is where I spent many lunch breaks during high school.........to get destroyed at Tekken and Marvel vs Capcom 2

The line up isn't long. It just moves agonizingly slow. Any other place would've gone through that long faster.

This was near my neighbourhood. Don't tell me the people there can't go to the Tim's nearby or the McDs nearby.

I was already waiting! :< I only saw one guy leave the whole time I was there.

Not worth it with other stuff available in the area.

And even then you can just get those passes to skip lines.

(I had one of those and felt like hurling but nope @ waiting an hour for stuff)

There has to be a way around this, order catering?

Generic Asians love lining up for things. Remember when Muji opened? People were waiting like 40 minutes to go inside and it doesn't even have half the stuff I saw in the Hong Kong stores lol.

Spoiler

I waited 1.5 hours for the god damn Cars ride at Disneyland/California Adventures

 

[EvilMario]

Glad I waited a month to go into Muji. Such a small selection, can't believe people would wait hours for it.

And you know it's Spring time now when there are drunks peeing on a post five steps north of Bloor at 6:30pm in the Annex. Ahh, that fragrant Spring air.

Fair warning to Toronto GAF. Game of Thrones season 5 has leaked the first few episodes so spoilers may be around.

and overpriced
i went there like 1 week after it opened, no lines, but fairly high traffic

and the cheesecake, it's just all hivemind hype, i have to line up to get some, type of mentality
dont buy into it

Yeah, I wasn't so impressed with Muji after getting the chance to check it out a couple of months after it opened.

Hi TO-GAF!
I'm graduating in May and then leaving Canada forever (international student), but before then, I'm staying in Toronto (technically Oshawa lmao) for a few weeks. Any suggestions? So far I have all the big things, but I'm looking for other things too do and smaller places I might miss out on!

Cheers!

Friend did the trip a few months ago. Lots of alcohol and lots of sausages. He booked rooms through airbnb with no issue so that may be an option if you're considering.

A lot of countries refund your sales tax (VAT) at the airport if you keep your receipts. Avoid tourist traps, they're everywhere (*cough* Bucking Palace and that ferrish wheel *cough*)

When it's warm, people actually go outside. You think John and Jane Patio keep their last name in the winter? Never.

My fiance's father gifted us a bunch of money for our honeymoon so we're looking more into hotels.

Where are you going? I backpacked in Europe when I was in university and I've done a tour in Ireland.

France, Italy and Denmark for about 2.5-3 weeks. I can speak a bit of french, well quebecois, but I'm curious about getting by elsewhere with only english.

Nice to know, yeah not super interested in tourist traps, aside from some cliche Paris things.
