Ojisan Puffy- Japanese Cheesecake & Coffee
1025 Mason St, Dearborn, MI
Crema's Take
“This charming Dearborn spot masterfully pairs exceptional Japanese cheesecakes—light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness—with thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks like pistachio lattes and creative refreshers. The warm, knowledgeable staff (regulars rave about team members like Wisam) treat each visit like a cultural experience, making it an inviting space for both lingering conversations and quick pastry pickups. It's the kind of place where every detail feels intentional, from the immaculate, adorable interior to the macarons and signature creations that keep customers coming back.”

Stopped by Ojisan Puffy Cheese Cake in Dearborn and was really impressed. These are Japanese style cheesecakes, and you can definitely taste the difference super light, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The chocolate one was especially good. You can tell it's real chocolate and not just some syrup poured on top, which makes a big difference in flavor. It does get pretty cold inside the store, so just a heads up if you're planning to sit for a bit. That said, the staff was friendly and the order came out quickly. Overall, this is a really nice spot if you're craving authentic Japanese cheesecake. Definitely worth checking out.
The place was a 10/10. Amazing cheescake amazing refreshers amazing coffee amazing staff!!!! Wisam and mona Alqaterani in particular. Wisam even gave us a glimpse of japan with every bite we took, like in this picture where he is posed with the japanese umbrella. Such a cutie lol. They were so kind and friendly and something about monas smile just made me want to come back again and again. She just lights up the room. Well enough about the amazing/goodlooking staff. The desserts are AMAZING definitely a must try
Convenient location. Adorable inside and very clean. The young lady who took our order and made the drinks was very friendly and helpful. We had a pistachio latte and pumpkin spice latte and both were very flavorful and strong.
10/02/25: Picked up 2 cheesecakes(one strawberry topping, one lotus topping[like peanut buttery taste]) and 3 macarons. Macarons were pretty good, no complaints there, esp that lemon one they had. Cheesecake on the other hand... well, its very light and fluffy for a cheesecake, but it doesn't quite hit that "cheesecake" twang that I'm used to having. It also doesn't have any crust. That red strawberry color sure LOOKS rich, and it does carry the cheesecake a lot in my opinion. Personally I'd rate the cheesecake a 3* out of 5* for me, but overall rate it 4* if I'm rating it unbiasedly. Its not "bad" or anything, just not intense enough for me. Didn't like the lotus flavor at all, but that's on me(though they didn't have raspberry which would have been better).
Listen… if you haven’t had Ojisan’s Japanese cheesecake, you’re truly playing yourself. This isn’t your heavy, knock-you-out kind of cheesecake—this is light, fluffy, and straight-up dreamy. I got mine topped with pistachio and lotus, and baby… chef’s kiss. It was giving elegance on a plate. Meanwhile, my husband had his with ruby (yes, that bougie berry chocolate) and strawberry, and it was straight-up romance in cheesecake form. I had to try his too and baby let me tell you...HEAVEN!! To wash it down, we grabbed the strawberry matcha and the peach lemonade—and let me tell you, these drinks weren’t just cute, they were delicious. The matcha had that earthy kick balanced with sweet strawberry, and the peach lemonade? Refreshing like a summer read on a front porch swing. And the atmosphere? Baby, the vibe was giving date night. Cozy, cute, and just the right amount of chic. You come here with your boo, and suddenly y’all feel like the main characters in a K-drama. Bottom line: Ojisan is serving softness, flavor, and a little bit of luxury in every bite. Consider me obsessed.
