"It’s not often that you find drool-worthy desserts in the culinary wilderness that is the Underground City, but the Japanese-style cakes at Yoko, located steps from Peel metro station, are worth a pause in one’s morning commute. Japanese-style cheesecake is fluffier and milder in flavour than its North American cousins, and has developed a strong fanbase in Canada in recent years. Yoko opened in 2017 to much less fanfare than Toronto fave Uncle Tetsu (which opened in Montreal last summer), but still does a bang-up job." - Holly Tousignant
