Uncle Tetsu Is Opening in Boston's Chinatown Neighborhood

It looks like a chain of Japanese cheesecake shops will be expanding to Boston.

According to a poster (Geoff Wong) within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Uncle Tetsu is going to be opening in Chinatown, moving into a space on Hudson Street between Kneeland Street and Beach Street. Based on other outlets of the chain (which first started out in Hakata, Japan, in 1985), expect to see scratch-made cheesecakes that the company's website says combine "the richness of American cheesecakes with the lightness of French soufflés.

The address for Uncle Tetsu in Chinatown is 19 Hudson Street, Boston, MA, 02111. The website for the chain can be found at https://uncletetsu-us.com/

[September 20 update: According to an Instagram post from @jccraves, Uncle Tetsu is now open in Chinatown.]

7ate9 Bakery Is Opening in Somerville

The person behind a business that makes mini-cheesecakes and more is planning to open a shop in Somerville.

According to an article in Somerville Beat, Sarah Chester is looking to open 7ate9 Bakery on Highland Avenue, with Eater Boston mentioning that its location will be in the space where Kickass Cupcakes had been until closing last summer. Once it opens, expect to see the treats that Chester offers at farmers' markets in the Boston area, including her signature small cheesecakes as well as regular-sized cheesecakes; she will also be selling additional sweet treats and coffee.

Somerville Beat says that 7ate9 Bakery could be open for business sometime next month, depending on the permitting process and construction.

[April 30 update: Eater Boston mentions that 7ate9 Bakery appears to be on the verge of opening, as it passed its final inspection earlier this week and now just needs to calibrate the ovens and get used to the equipment.]

[May 4 update: A new article from Eater Boston states that 7ate9 Bakery is now open.]

The address for this new bakery in Somerville is: 7ate9 Bakery, 199C Highland Avenue, Somerville, MA, 02143. Its website can be found at http://7ate9bakery.com/
