    In my opinion this place is one of the best coffee spots around the area. The coffee quality is excellent, everything tastes fresh, and the flavors really stand out. You also get a great view to the Brooklyn Bridge while zipping a delicious coffee. Definitely one of my favorite spots, it's worth trying out.

    Kyoto Latte, just sweet enough
    Toshi I.

    Ordered the Kyoto Latte which was just sweet enough. Great coffee, location, vibe and branding with the "%". It was a good stop right before we embarked on our Brooklyn Bridge trek.

    I visited % Arabica everyday during my New York trip, so saying that I like this spot is an understatement. I tried a few things on the menu, but my go-to was the matcha latte. The menu says they use a high quality matcha from Kyoto and I feel like it really makes a difference! My husband got the Americano here and he is very particular about his coffee but was blown away by the beans that are offered here and the taste of the coffee itself. The store has a cozy and warm ambiance. There's some seating inside to enjoy your drink, however, it is a bit limited and fills up quickly. Service is friendly!

    Dark latte iced

    Food/drinks: dark latte!!! It's like a hot chocolate and latte mixed, not too sweet!! Atmosphere: very cute, tiny seats with bar seating and pretty busy with tourists Service: can take a bit to get your drink especially if they are busy, but I didn't mind Price: $$ as normal for NYC

    After some freezing weather I stopped by this coffee shop and decided to get something to warm up with. The staff was friendly and helpful and we decided to try a seasonal drink of theres. In the photo you'll find a coffee with white chocolate and a plain croissant. This was perfect! As someone who doesn't like overly sweet food and drinks this was the right amount of flavor. The croissant was nice and fluffy and everything you expect. It is on the pricey side but to be expected. My total was $12.50. My only complaint is that I wish it was much hotter, it was luke warm at best. Coffee 8/10 Croissant 8/10

    If you are looking to take that perfect snapshot with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background, do yourself a favor and check out "% Arabica". Located directly on Old Fulton St. and just a mere few blocks from the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn NY, this place has been serving up handcrafted coffees, espresso drinks, and matcha beverages dating back to mid-2021. This is one of 4 locations in New York while they have 1 other location in Los Angeles. However, they are more prominent globally as they have a strong presence in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. I came here during the afternoon on Thursday 10/9/2025 at around 3:30pm. As expected, there was a bit of a line but did move rather quickly. The interior layout of the building was bright, cheerful, and upscale while utilizing as much natural light as possible. The neutral earth tone colors flow well as beige, gold, and off-white flow freely around the entire interior. Seating was tricky to find but my lady and I did find two available spots that gave us that million dollar view of the Brooklyn Bridge. As for our beverages of choice, she went with a "Hot Vanilla Latte" while I opted for an "Iced Matcha Latte". Since they were busy and the flow of customers did not ease up, we got our drinks in a timely manner, under 5 minutes. I will say that the overall taste of the matcha was good (but not great) as I've had much better. But from an aesthetic perspective, this place had a great New York vibe as the staff and demographic of customers hit all the high notes for me. All in all, "% Arabica" was a good above-average place that allows you to slow down from the daily hustle-and-bustle grind that we encounter on a regular basis. With decent hours; 7:30am-6:00pm 7 days a week, fast Wi-Fi connections, and squeaky clean restrooms, this location does what it can to stay above some of the better coffee shops in the area. Service, location, atmosphere, and ambiance was amazing while the coffee/matcha is just slightly above average. With that said and done, I am giving % Arabica a solid four stars.

    I stopped by % Arabica in Brooklyn and ordered their Spanish latte, and honestly... it blew me away. I've had Spanish lattes from a ton of different coffee shops, and this one was on a whole different level. Super balanced, smooth, just the right amount of sweetness basically perfect. I'm the type of person who likes to hop around and try different coffee spots, but after having this, I actually found myself coming back again and again. It's that good. The shop itself has a clean, modern vibe that makes you want to hang out for a bit, and the staff was friendly and quick even though they were busy. Everything just felt dialed in from the coffee to the atmosphere. If you're a coffee person, or even if you're not, this place is a must. I'd go out of my way for that Spanish latte any day.

    This location is usually sprawling with tourists and a respectable crowd on the weekends. Nothing beats the picturesque backdrop of Brooklyn Bridge while you're sipping on your latte. I've been here many times by now and their roasting game is pretty top notch. If it's busy (which it usually is), expect a long wait to get your drink. My only critique is that some of the baristas don't seem to be coffee enthusiasts. I had ordered pourover one time and I was trying to learn more about my cup, but they generally responded it was a single origin form Columbia. They make their lattes with lactaid whole milk. I have no idea how they make it so buttery rich. Worth a visit if you're in the area and if you have time!

    Clean, centralized coffee spot... we grabbed an espresso before boarding the East River Ferry Bathroom was clean - great plus.

    I love % Arabica. It's located in the heart of Dumbo and Brooklyn Bridge park.Coming here makes me reminiscent of my trip to Japan and how much I enjoyed the coffee. I ordered the iced Kyoto Latte which was super delicious. It was light and smooth. It has a subtle sweetness already, which is great, but you can add more if you have more of a sweet tooth. The cafe is sleek, and minimalist. Staff are so friendly. It has a very calming ambiance inside with big windows with amazing views of the brooklyn bridge. You can enjoy your coffee or treat, getting a taste of Japan, while enjoying one of the best views in Brooklyn.

    Arabica Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most photogenic coffee stops in NYC. Located right under the Manhattan Bridge in Dumbo, it's surrounded by food carts, local vendors, and street musicians -- perfect for a relaxed break or a photo walk. What I liked: * Their Spanish latte is smooth and slightly sweet. * Friendly baristas and clean, minimalist interior. Pro tip for travelers: If you're into photography, come early in the morning to beat the crowd and get that iconic Manhattan Bridge background shot. The lighting is great around 8-10 AM. How to get here: Take the F train to York Street and walk 5 mins. The area is busy on weekends, so weekdays are better for shooting. Would recommend for: * Travelers * Photographers * Anyone looking for good coffee in a scenic spot

    Emmi D.

    Ideal location across from where the ferry docks for a coffee. Excellent view of the Brooklyn bridge. Service was pleasant. I got their best seller - the Kyoto latte. I thought it was quite average but I'm usually a flavored latte kind of person so likely not very attuned to the notes of the espresso, but solid enough. Crazy good latte art

    Matcha latte
    Tiff W.

    Needed a quick afternoon pick me up! I grabbed an ice matcha latte to go. The aroma in the store was very nice as they were actively roast new beans in store. They had large windows to sit by and watch the outside going-ons. The service was quick and polite. The matcha was actually amazing. I was really itching for a good matcha latte since arriving in New York and I'm glad I held out for this café. Will definitely have to try some of their coffee next time

    Small shop, great service, excellent drinks, & tasty treats!…read more Of the two drinks, the black sesame latte was by far one of the best lattes I've had in a while (granted I have had a latte in a while...). If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

I had seen their cute pastries online and wanted to check them out. We got the items above and a few coffees. The cakes are cute. Tho not as light and fluffy as I was expecting. I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

    RATING: 4.5/5 | Came on a Saturday late afternoon and it was busy! The line moves, thankfully. It's…read morerelatively spacious for a cafe, but there's minimal seating. There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

    I came here today to experience local matcha from Kijitora, a local matcha place that was all about…read morecats! Everything was cat They had a lot of merchandise dedicated to cats! The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.

I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
