I cannot recommend enough sitting outside on the back patio, which is dotted with whimsical décor and sweet wicker chairs, in and of itself an experience. We got the classic service and were impressed by the value, bottomless black tea (which can be made decaf, music to my ears!), scones with clotted cream and jam, a variety of tea sandwiches, pastries. It's not the place you go when you're starving and need a meal, I wouldn't say the point of it is the food itself, but there is something so delightful about sipping tea from a fancy cup and nibbling little bites in an Alice in Wonderland portal from reality for 2 hours. For a special occasion, it's a must.

The ambiance is really relaxed , artsy, and intentional. I love the chic ness of the tea shop and the wide variety of teas. The service is always nice and I always leave feeling good which is super important to me! The owners a lovely married couple made the time spent popping in worth the while. If you're looking for great quality tea, a welcoming environment, light bites to eat and or a space to chat over coffee and tea this is the space! Will forever be a customer.

(I hope I spelled her name correctly) She was kind and patient as I navigated skipping the menu and ordering on vibes! She recommended her favorites and I ordered them all.

Stay a minute or stay awhile.

They really didn't have to go out of their way to do that, but it genuinely made our day. The buckwheat cookies were delicious, nice roasted flavor and not too sweet. The matcha white chocolate bar surprised us. The deep green color matched the flavor because you could really taste the matcha. Would definitely come back another time to get a drink or try for the soft serve again :)

Best matcha in NYC. Specifically got the Shirakawa Legacy (Uji)…read more Great vibes. Very aesthetic. Incense smelt good. Staff was also very friendly & chatted w those who needed recs. 0/5 "lock in score": laptops not allowed on weekends, but I would imagine it would be too busy on weekdays anyways.

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.

This was another matcha shop that came up in our research as one of the top picks to try, so we…read moremade sure to swing by. Very small shop, almost no room to walk if someone else is coming out. They had two small tables inside that sat 2 people. You order off the kiosk and they make the drinks fairly quickly. It looks like they measure out the ounces so it's the same ratio every time. Even with this, I felt like there was so much milk compared to matcha. I also felt like the matcha itself wasn't very strong. Be careful when selecting your sizes - I usually just get the small/regular but my best friend is a matcha fanatic and she usually gets the large size. Nippon Cha really said LARGE because their size is a 32oz!!! So if you're not planning on drinking a quarter gallon, just get the regular!

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!!

They have promotions once in a while like BOGOs, so when that happens, wait times to get the drinks can be very long. I recently bought bogo drinks and the order line was empty, but the pickup line was long. It took about 30+ min to get my drinks. I'm so used to matcha and jasmine flavors now, so I wanted to try something different. I had the tongmu lapsang salted cheese milk tea and I liked it. Never heard of tongmu lapsang but Google says it's a type of smoked black tea from China. The drink had notes of hazelnut in it. I never had a nutty, chocolatey tea flavor combo before so it was refreshing to taste.

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!
