The food offerings were surprisingly filling - savory-forward with perfect little finger sandos and an incredible scone with clotted cream. We were visiting from out of town and would absolutely return again if we could!

My friend booked this for a weekend, and our check-in was extremely smooth. Given the weather was…read morereally nice, we were offered a seat in their outdoor heated patio. The decor is incredible inside the space, and the staff are equally kind and attentive. We got the grand Vanderbilt tea option, and tried the English breakfast tea, Darjeeling, and Earl Grey. The sandwiches were all rather delicious, though I found the scones a bit dry. The desserts were small, but also delicious. I wouldn't come here if you're extremely picky about afternoon tea food as the food was pretty standard. Overall, I think this high tea is quite good for the value, and the staff were always stopping by to check if we needed a tea refills. I would definitely come back, especially given the nice ambience and overall experience.

So I had the pleasure of coming in on a beautiful day to grab and re up on some of my favorite teas…read morefrom this beautiful black owned tea shop in Bedstuy and I must say it's always a great experience! 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 discovered Brooklyn Tea because I purchased their cream earl grey at the City Store in lower…read moreManhattan. When I went to buy more from the City Store, they only had rooibos tea. I was about to order some online when I saw their brick and mortar store location. I hustled to their store--got there less than 10 minutes till closing. The chairs were turned over and the trash was gathered but they still welcomed me, no frustration shown. The store has a cute vibe. In addition to ordering beverages and pastries, you could order Brooklyn Tea merch.

10/10 service We ordered a matcha soft serve, but…read moreunfortunately they had already closed the machine for the day and the cashier didn't know at the time (it happens) I didn't get their name, but one of the workers came over to apologize, gave us a refund right away, and even some free snacks! 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.

I love that there's a kiosk so you can order your drink and customize sweetness/add ons, etc. Your order comes out quick too. Honestly just perfect set up. Easy smooth and delicious

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!!

Amazing flowers!!!…read more The owner made us a wedding bouquet very last minute. Went out of her way to make sure we liked the colors, that the colors didn't clash with our outfits and height!

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!
