Strawberry matcha
Aleatha H.

Brooklyn Tea is a true gem. We were greeted with a warm welcome, which is so important to me. The staff was helpful, kind and funny. I finally knocked matcha off my "list" to try and I'm glad I did. I took the suggestion from the beautiful lady behind the counter and I loved it! I bought some loose leaf teas to try at home as well. To say I will be back is an understatment!

We decided to have tea while we wait for our lunch reservation. The experience exceeded our expectations, as we were fully immersed in the community and received excellent suggestions about local historical sites. We had a few tea blends, the suggestions were on point, as well as the customer service

This place is incredible!! Actually came across it in JFK airport, and made the trip to the main store from Manhattan. Absolutely worth the 50 min train ride and would come back again.

This past Sunday I checked out Brooklyn Tea on my way home from church with my sister. Their tea options are extensive! It took me awhile to decide on the tea I wanted. The two young ladies that worked there were extremely patient and informative. Customer service was top tier. I ordered the Vanilla Rooibose which was delicious and my sister got the Cream Earl gray latte and she loved it. We ordered blueberry waffles and chocolate chip waffles. Both vegan and both delicious. We also bought some loose tea to go. They sell the tea by the ounce here. The place is small but they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They also sell shop swag and a lot of their dishes are named after Brooklyn hip hop songs. This place is definitely worth a trip to Brooklyn. Can't wait to go back on my next visit to Brooklyn.

I had Brooklyn Tea on my to-do list ever since I came across them on Instagram, and I'm so glad I finally made the trip. What I expected to be a quick visit turned into a much longer stay -- that's how warm, welcoming, and special this place is. The space itself is cozy, but it feels so much bigger than just a tea shop. It's a place full of community, education, inspiration, and history. Everyone who walked in felt like they belonged, no matter where they came from -- the vibe is truly that inviting. The service stood out right away. Authentic, kind, and genuinely helpful. I had the chance to do some tea tastings, and the staff took their time sharing knowledge and making thoughtful recommendations. I left not only with a few teas and a bowl, but also with a deeper appreciation for the world of tea. My standards are officially raised! Also, learning that this is a first-gen, Black-owned business -- and that they're now opening in the airport in NYC -- just made me even more excited to support them. It's the kind of place that deserves all the love and attention it gets. I ordered matcha with agave and then later ordered a floral tea that I cannot recall. Brooklyn Tea, I'll absolutely be back soon -- and if you're even thinking about going, let this be your sign. Go.

Such a cute little tea shop in the neighborhood. The staff are immediately very welcoming. Be prepared to be overwhelmed by all of the great tea options. The employees are pretty knowledgeable about what's what and offer great suggestions. They sell packaged loose leaf tea, branded swag, and gear. They also have baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and vegan options. Unfortunately, gluten free was not an option. I love the vibe here. They have a few seating areas inside and outside. Great customer service. Don't sleep on this awesome little tea spot!

A smooth warm latte that was recommended. Coconut oolong latte. So warm and sweet. I'm definitely going to go back for this again.

Great place to have tea and to zen out. I usually get my tea to go but I had time. I got a nice latte. I like that was greeted warmly when I came in. I told the tea gentleman what I was looking for and he didn't disappoint. The space is quaint and cozy. Almost like being in one's living room. I also loved the fact that the music was audible but not overwhelming and very soothing. I will definitely be back when I am in BK to get my tea fix and BIGGIE cookies.

Yummy matcha drink!…read more When you walk in you are in a cozy whimsical cafe with cafe inspired interior. There's some seating available , perfect for catching up with friends. Even though they are known for their matcha drinks, I decided to get their seasonal drink instead: Matcha Peach Fizz. Not too bubbly nor sour , there is a good amount of matcha and a touch of peach with every sip. Quick service even though it is busy af.

A great stop on a walk!…read more Kijitora is a really cute cafe and i absolutely loved the interior of the store. On the right side there's a wall of stickers and stationary that I think you can miss if you're not looking. The staff was on top of it, I usually don't order drinks and I had just stopped by here randomly so I hadn't prepared my usual order details and the cashier made sure to clarify everything just in case; sweetened, ice, milk or substitute, etc. And the drink was made on the spot and quite fast I got my drink within two minutes which I found impressive as a line had soon formed in the shop right as I came. I got the hojicha, which I find most shops can't do well. Theirs is really solid though! Not the best I've had but I think it's hard to knock my socks off in general for hojicha and very good compared to the average hojicha Ive tasted in my life. I don't remember there being place for you to sit or if there was it was only one or two places. the shop was a bit small but enough to accommodate a small line inside comfortably.

The ambience is cool to sit inside, but I do mostly takeout. And the food is always on point and I like how they keep evolving in their menu.

I absolutely love this place. I first came here for a Yelp event week, where I tried the Hood…read moreHealer and their vegan lentil soup. Both were incredible and I felt immensely better afterwards. I later returned on several occasions and tried their Moon Milk, which is a delicious mixture of turmeric, cardamom, coconut and ashwahganda, the Key to the Garden drink (coconut, nutmeg, cacao, cinnamon and maple), their vanilla chocolate chip cookies and regular chocolate chip cookies. You can get these drinks hot or iced. I had all of them iced! I also had one of the best iced matcha lattes ever from here with sweet coconut milk. WOW. From what I've seen, baked goods change daily and their drink menus change semi often as well, which is exciting!! Outside, there is some seating, lovely items and books for purchase and a window to order, as well as the menu items displayed on boards and items around the space. Inside is quite similar, but with more items for sale and more seating. The vibes are immaculate and this seems to be a space that's community centered and has an emphasis on carrying items made by local artists. Remember to bring cash to tip. I cannot wait until my next visit here!!

Okay, so you walk in and you don't even know where to begin. There is so much in this tiny shop,…read moreit's amazing to think I walked out minus $92 and with 12+ little bags of goodies. I mean, c'mon, how could you not try the China Rose Tea? The delicious perfumey Earl Grey? The shop's own blended Orange Spice, Almond and Ginger teas? The superbly caffeinated Assam B.O.P.,? Their insane blend of chai spices and rose petals... well, I think you get the picture. Yes, I bought all of that plus a few others, so what?! The gentleman behind the counter, I don't even know his name and guess what? I like it like that. He's a mystical genius with an endless knowledge of everything. He's wicked nice and helpful too. All of my questions were graciously answered and suggestions made. It seems he went to some Hogwarts School of Tea or something. Now, he's not British, but he stocks a bunch of British staples - jams, crisps, cookies, etc. How cool is that? The pickled onion Monster Munch snacks will blow your mind. The 45 minutes or so I spent in there was pretty dreamy - I witnessed tons of people come in and out. Not a line out the door, but just a constant stream of locals, it was a delightful afternoon. Oh yea, prices are pretty reasonable for what you're getting, but cash and personal checks only - no cards. Personal checks!
