One of the best matcha lattes in the city! I come here frequently and highly recommend the strawberry matcha lattes and also their hot matcha latte is really good too. The Driggs Ave location doesn't have seating but the East Williamsburg one does (although it gets pretty busy, so I wouldn't bank on getting a spot to sit unless you come early). read more

Has great matcha drinks! I wanted to grab a drink with some friends and saw this nearby. It's a very cute small spot with drinks and small bites. We had the tiramisu latte and the strawberry matcha. The tiramisu latter was very good not too sweet it was just right. The strawberry matcha was really nice too. Definitely recommend trying it out! read more

Finally got to visit this shop. I myself do enjoy matcha and I think people think it's easy to make or that all matcha is made the same. WRONG! It should taste bland with the right combo of choice of sweeter and it shouldn't be a light color (light green) . That's my idea of a not so great matcha, anyways. Anyways - the location in Williamsburg is small. So luckily I was able to go in and order when it was packed. After I finished...there was a big group... I got the matcha peach fizz, a friend got a black sesame latte (cold), another got strawberry matcha and another got the shio sencha soda. SO of course I was able to try them all!! For the yelp and all. First drink! ME! The matcha peach fizz was great! It wasn't overly sweet and was super refreshing. I wished there was a larger size cause by the time I got back to the car (few blocks away) I have finished...boo... The shio sencha soda was also very refreshing and don't be scared that the shio is strong, it deff was not. The black sesame latte was amazing! Well for those that likes black sesame, since it is strong in the taste and nutty. Which I find rare nowadays. It reminded my friend of the Asian dessert but in a cup. Lastly, the strawberry latte - seem like it's one of their top sellers. It was good and it was sooo good!! The ratio of strawberry to matcha was wow! The strawberry really brings that sweetness to the matcha. Overall I think its a good place to get good quality matcha or anything else they have to offer. It is a little pricey but hey...it's located in Williamsburg, they use good quality matcha and what you going to do? Buy it or not..it's up to you. Would come again!!! Oh! Also love their cat theme , I was tempted to get one of their totes but I have so many as is... read more

One of my go-to spots, especially on a sunny day. Great vibes to kick back, people-watch, and enjoy a refreshing glass of matcha. Highly recommend! read more

super small cafe; when we went there was a long line but it moved quite quickly. the drinks themselves were also made quickly, and are definitely the best matcha ive had from a cafe! read more

The matcha had a nice balance not too bitter, not too sweet. Creamy texture and a clean aftertaste

I came on a late Sunday afternoon and it was very busy. There are no tables inside but a few outside. Loved the cat theme inside and you can buy cat stickers and cards. My friends and I ordered Sakura Matcha Latte $6.75 with soy milk (extra $0.75), Lavender Milk Tea $4.50 with almond milk (extra $0.75) and Sakura Milk Tea $5.25. They were all so good but my favorite was the sakura matcha latte which was rich and creamy. Make sure to mix the syrup at the bottom of the lavender milk tea before drinking. Sakura milk tea was a bit sweet for me. Would come back to try their black sesame latte read more

easily one of my favorite matcha spots - strawberry matcha latte is personally my favorite but I do like the matcha tonic selection, especially in the summertime. limited seating options though so definitely a good grab n go spot. read more

Excellent matcha spot in the Williamsburg area. I've heard about this place for some time, through friend recommendations and TikToks, so I decided it was finally time to check it out. I can totally understand the hype! The matcha is creamy and the flavor is very well-balanced. It's very apparent that they are using good matcha. It's not too sweet and it doesn't have that "cheap" matcha taste. I would definitely go as far to say that this is one of the best matcha spots in the city! We tried both the normal matcha latte and the strawberry matcha. Strawberry matcha is definitely on the sweeter side, but the flavors were delicious. We came toward the end of their hours, so they were closing up. But thankfully, they were still willing to let us in to order! The shop was so cute. It's a small space, but they have little trinkets, postcards, bags, etc. up for sale and it's fun to browse while you're waiting for your drink. Highly recommend! read more

Kijitora was the first cafe that popped up on our Yelp after lunch, and we were so glad it did! The cafe itself is small, almost a hole-in-the-wall, and opens into a little clothing boutique. I ordered a iced hoji latte with oat milk, and my friend ordered the dirty black sesame latte. Both were AMAZING and you can actually taste the quality of the ingredients. read more

A small cafe tucked next to a clothing store! We passed by looking for a cafe and all the cute cat artwork and knick knacks drew us in! We came on a rainy day, so the only seating was inside - it's a SMALL cafe so only 3 tables and a bench, and it gets busy quickly! Baristas were super nice and made our drinks pretty quickly! I went with the lavender milk tea and asked for it to be iced, which they accommodated! They also asked if I had any milk preferences! I loved my drink, as it had the perfect lavender infusion to it, and was a sweet pick-me-up for a late afternoon. There are tons of other interesting flavors on the menu to try out! read more

For sure one of the best cafes in New York! Even though it gained a lot of popularity, the place doesn't seem to have lost its authenticity. It's a nice cozy spot with very friendly staff and the drinks are done with love and they are very tasty. Would surely be there more often if I was more in the area! read more

fragrant, satisfying, not-too-sweet strawberry matcha latte that was essentially liquid heaven. the fruity notes shine through and give life into the matcha. the matcha itself has a wonderful nutty taste and aroma. line was long on a sunday, but went by fast enough. people generally grab their caffeine and go on their merry way due to the limited seating. disappointed this location doesn't carry their kitty shaped grilled cheese--apparently it's exclusive to the east location. read more

This cafe serves the BEST frothed latte! I saw this place on tiktok and decided to stop by since I was in the area. The coffee shop shares the space next to a clothing store. I tried both the hojicha and matcha latte on two separate occasions and both were really good. The sweetness can be adjusted upon request. The small cafe is cat themed and it was fun to spot the mini cat figurines throughout the store. read more

I hate to say it but it's kinda overhyped ‍ went on a sweltering day near closing and it was super cute and small inside. The matcha wasn't anything mind blowing and the black sesame drink was too sweet for my liking. Will I go back maybe I'm delusional maybe it'll be better on a not hot day read more

KIJITORA mini - Strawberry Matcha Latte and Black Sesame Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small cafe next to a clothing shop. Very tight space and no seating available except a bench outside which will always be taken I feel. To my surprise I quite liked the iced matcha latte with strawberry syrup. And the black sesame wasn't bad either. We got our drinks pretty fast despite the long line. But not super personable since it was so busy. read more

Came here for the hype, but left so disappointed. I got a matcha latte and was surprised to find their matcha taste pretty bitter and grassy - everything you don't want your matcha to taste like. Maybe their more famous strawberry matcha drinks are more popular because they mask the actual flavor of the matcha... Needless to say, not my favorite and wouldn't come back for their standard matcha latte. read more

Super cute little coffee shop. They have a lot of interesting drinks. Inside the shop also had trinkets for customers to buy. Staff was super nice and explained the different cold brew they had to us. Ultimately we decided on a cold brew and the tiramisu latte. The cold brew was good and was not bitter. It's super strong though because later that night, I had trouble falling asleep! The tiramisu latte could have been more cold because it was on the warm side. It definitely felt more like a dessert than a drink but it was sweet and creamy. I'd definitely go back to try the black sesame latte or the strawberry matcha! read more

my favorite shop for matcha and coffee! I tried the chestnut matcha and dirty black sesame latte, both of which were incredible. They're not too sweet and you can actually taste the notes of black sesame and chestnut, which I love. The matcha is also high quality and a vibrant green. I would HIGHLY recommend the chestnut matcha latte if you enjoy matcha drinks! This might be one of my favorite drinks that I've ever had, and I went back two days in a row to get this. I love chestnuts, so if you don't like them you might not feel the same, but this was just warm and toasty with a lot of chestnut flavor for the fall season. definitely recommend checking out this shop! read more

Love their tiramisu latte! Small shop that shares a space with a clothing store. They have some nice seasonal drinks as well, would recommend checking out if you're in the area! read more

My favourite matcha spot in the city. The staff are LOVELY too. Every single drink I have had their is divine and unique. MUST ORDER: - iced strawberry matcha - miso mocha top tip: get their special nut milk - it's the best! read more

Today I went to get the strawberry matcha and it was good FOR SURE but not worth $9.75. I did it once but I probably will never do it again no matter how tasty this matcha was. The strawberry filling at the bottom was very sweet and although the matcha was super smooth and yum, you have to be attainable enough that you would come here more frequent. The taste was about a 4/5 but the price brings it down to 3 star especially for the serving size. Too small to be paying that much for it. Please change your prices! We'd be hyping this spot even more!! Sweet people tho. Good service. read more

Overhyped. I ordered a strawberry matcha and a basic matcha latte. Very strong on the strawberry. Basic latte was bitter. FYI I am from LA, so Kijitora might be good matcha for the area. Did not live up to California standards. read more

saw the strawberry matcha latte all over social media so had to give it a try and it is well worth the hype! amazing matcha flavor and the strawberry puree is really good. only downside is the price i'll have to pay because i'll definitely be back for this again read more

Nothing screams a better morning then strolling around killing time in Brooklyn and stumbling upon a pop up coffee shop that warms not just your body, but your soul. Located within the Coat of Arms clothing store, this Japanese coffee and tea shop is a hidden gem, literally, that I only found by stumbling into on my way to Dunkin. I can confidently tell you that anything you get here is better then what you get at a national chain. There was no decision to be made after seeing the Matcha Latte on offer and it was easily the best version of the drink I have ever had. Equal parts bitter and sweet, I happily sipped my way on the street as I walked to my brother's tuxedo fitting. read more

stumbled upon this place while walking to L'Industrie and couldn't be happier! this is a cute Japanese cafe located next to a clothing store. the cafe has lots of cute cat motifs and it just felt like an oasis. i was debating between the iced hoji latte and the iced black sesame latte for the longest time and went with the former. you can get it sweetened or unsweetened and i got mine lightly sweetened. it was the right amount of sweetness and played really well with the toasty hojicha. awesome drink and will stop by again if i'm in the area! read more

Okay after some time ordering from them, the matcha is a huge miss. It just tastes very bland and weak. Also I will no longer be ordering the strawberry matcha because if you order it with whole milk which I prefer, they use a really cheap deli milk brand which is not okay considering you are paying a premium price and that should reflect it. read more

Just spent $10 on probably the worst iced matcha I've ever had in my life lol. I almost took it back. For a matcha cafe I'm truly bamboozled

Stumbled unto this place by accident, was in the Williamsburg area looking for a cafe and I found this one! Though the space was really small it was paced with cute knickknacks and tote bags. Ordered a mizudashi & lavender milk tea the mizudashi wasn't the best but the Lavender milk tea was absolutely perfect! The best was very friendly and if I get the chance I will come again! read more

Was a regular here before but recently had a pretty unpleasant experience with some of their passive aggressive baristas. I get that it's a small cafe and when there's a lot of customers, they gotta make the drinks fast. But over 8 bucks for mixing milk with matcha concentrate... seriously? Then why not keep the cost down if they won't keep up with the quality for the price? Same goes for their gift shop section. Cute but not the best quality for the price. And I'd rather go down a few blocks for matcha based drinks. read more

Love this little shop - great lavender iced latte and gluten free banana bread! Everything here is delicious!

I only got a chance to get a regular hot matcha latte on a cold day but it made my entire work trip to NY and gave me something to look forward to in the morning. I appreciate that they open relatively early, unlike the other matcha places with great reps in the area. Love the cozy shop vibe also and the music! read more

The original place that we wanted to go for Matcha said it was open, but it wasn't open so we had to find a new place to get our daily Matcha fixed here in Williamsburg, New York. it was a short walk around the corner to coat of arms Cafe by Kijitora. I got the Matcha latte with strawberry and juju got a straight Matcha latte both with oat milk and we really enjoyed it and now I see a woman walking out with a coffee and I wish I got a coffee too. read more

By far the best matcha latte I've had in the states. I had the strawberry iced matcha latte and when I took a sip I actually gasped. As someone that was visiting NY, I cried not knowing I'd be in close proximity to this place. I would literally fly back JUST for this matcha. It had the right amount of sweetness, the strawberry was not overpowering imo, and it was creamy. Price wise it's on the higher end, but I don't care it's so good. read more

I love this place. The coffee is really good and so is the food. I love all the different Asian inspired takes on drinks. Feels very mom and pop warm too. read more

I LOVED the strawberry matcha and crave it every day. The strawberry milk does not have that artificial jammy or syrupy flavor. It tasted like fresh strawberries, slightly sweet with a hint of tartness, which paired so well with the earthy matcha. Their normal lattes are also tasty since the matcha is good quality, but I have never had a strawberry matcha this good. The shop is also so cute! read more
