One of my favorite matcha places int he city! You can really taste the matcha! I got the Kuro Mitsu Matcha and it was basically a brown sugar matcha latte. The brown sugar syrup wasn't overpowering. They do batch their matcha and then just add x amount of grams to your latte when you order, which is slightly disappointing. The staff as very nice and they got the matcha to me quickly (although it wasn't super busy around 11am on a Sunday when I went). They also sell a variety of matcha powders and matcha accessories in store! read more

The quality of the matcha is amazing! The iced matcha latte was so creamy, and not too sweet. You can taste the matcha, and it's not powdery. The matcha tiramisu is so creamy. The strawberry matcha is perfect, not too sweet. The staff are all so kind, they work fast even when the line gets long. There are only two tables inside, and it's a small space. read more

Ordered both the matcha ice cream and the matcha tiramisu. The taste was off with both of them. Not like the ones you would Get in Japan. Not great and overpriced. Overall disappointed. read more

Great matcha! Pretty quick efficient service while still hand whisking the matcha traditionally

I've been here a few times on two different trips now (which is saying something, because I'm more of a Manhattan girlie than a Brooklyn girlie.) How does this keep happening? My friend who works in the neighborhood routinely enjoys their Usucha ("thin tea", or plain matcha)--it's prepared well and is soothing and has a rich bitter matcha flavor. Twice, I ordered my Kuro mitsu Matcha Latte. It's rich and sweet (hey, kuromitsu is a Japanese syrup!) Matcha Cheese Cake was also rich, sweet, and just the right amount of bitterness. The interior is very minimalist, intimate, and cozy. Service is fine. read more

We were walking around the area and found this cha-ya. Tried a new drink today! Matcha latte with Kinako- roasted soy bean. If you like Kinako you will like it. It's a little grainy and nutty flavored. Kinako powder is usually a topper on mochi and other desserts. Cute little cafe for tea. read more

4.7/5 Matcha Soft Serve -- very impressed! Matcha flavor is very strong and bitter forward if you like that! Ice cream base is very smooth, and didn't melt too fast even when eating by Domino Park! Only some slight grittiness of the matcha powder noted as it melted. Portion is also super generous, easily could be split between 2 people. read more

Nippon Cha is a specialty matcha shop offering a range of snacks and desserts, from cakes to matcha-based drinks. The store also carries a selection of matcha tools and exclusively sells its own Nippon Cha branded matcha. On this visit, I ordered the strawberry matcha latte. While the strawberry syrup was quite sweet, it ended up overpowering the matcha. This may appeal to those who prefer a stronger sweetness, but I personally prefer a more balanced blend of matcha and fruit flavor. Despite this, I would visit Nippon Cha for all of your matcha making needs! read more

While strolling around Williamsburg, I was getting thirsty and found this matcha spot. There's a kiosk to order your drinks while you can watch the tea masters whisking the matcha. I ordered the Matcha with Coconut Water ($7) and my friend had the Matcha Yuzu Lemonade ($7). The matcha is so earthy paired with the coconut water, which was so refreshing. This is such an authentic Japanese matcha shop with delicious matcha drinks. read more

Friday, 6/06/2025 - tried Nippon Cha. Address is 214 Bedford Ave, Fl 1, Brooklyn, NY 11211 (b/t 6th St & 5th St) in Williamsburg - North Side. Cute little business. Sadly they we cleaning their ice cream machine so we didn't get to try any. But we did try their Matcha with Coconut Water and it's not bad. Not too sweet. Staffs were very nice. Business clean. I like this little place. read more

Super yummy! Was looking for a mid-afternoon pick me up and stumbled on this matcha place. The waiters were incredibly nice and they made our order within 2 minutes which is pretty impressive for a drinks place. We ordered the Matcha Yuzu Lemonade and this was delicious and I feel so inspired to try to replicate this drink at home. The yuzu flavor was very evident and didn't seem artificial at all. The matcha also added a nice layer onto it which was surprising as I thought the flavors would clash quite a bit. My only gripe is that they didn't fill out drink all the way up, maybe only to the 85% lines. Overall, absolutely fantastic drinks place and I will be back for more! read more

Stopped by Nippon Cha and got their small matcha soft serve cone. absolutely delicious! It had that perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness that good matcha should have. The texture was creamy and smooth, not too heavy, and the flavor lingered just right. Service was friendly and quick, and the overall vibe was calm and clean. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving authentic matcha soft serve! read more

Nippon Cha was among the first places my friends and I stopped for our NYC matcha crawl. Since it was a Sunday, the line practically went out the door, and we were packed like sardines. Per usual, the interior had a clean, minimalist design and cozy atmosphere. Because they made the wrong order, we got a free matcha latte with soy milk! Ultimately, we got a matcha latte with oat milk and a (FREE) matcha latte with soy, which enhanced our matcha crawl experience. I noticed a subtle difference between the drinks due to the milk; the matcha latte with oat milk was creamier and sweeter than the soy latte. In comparison, the matcha soy had a grassier taste. Neither was bad! But it's a matter of preference; personally, I do prefer the bitterness. However, I also like a creamy matcha latte, so both have pros and cons. Despite the creamier oat latte than the soy latte, I found Nippon Cha, in general, to be more watery than the matcha lattes that I would end up trying later in the crawl. I'd gladly come back to try their desserts and other drinks, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. read more

Nippon Cha lives up to the hype! The matcha is super flavorful and they have a wide variety on the menu! I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was soooo good! It is on the sweeter side because of the strawberry purée, but still delicious!! The ordering is done through a self-serve kiosk! The drinks were made super quickly and efficiently! This is more of a to-go place so there is very limited seating. I overall love this place and look forward to returning! read more

I frequently think about Nippon cha's matcha ice cream after having it only once. Sadly, I haven't had it again because they're a little out of the way for me. But when I did pass by it recently, I was parched, so ice cream wasn't going to do it. I got an iced strawberry matcha instead. It looked sooo good, however, it tasted very mediocre. It sounds hard to mess up this combination of flavors, but the drink was very bland overall. Maybe it was because the store was teeming with customers on the hot day so there was no quality control. Whatever the reason, I'll be more reluctant to get a drink from here next time, but I'm still down for their ice cream. read more

I never really know how a drink from here is going to turn out. Sometimes I go and it's the best matcha I've had in a long time and other times it tastes like some premade mix that no matcha lover should have. When it's busier I feel like I get a better drink surprisingly but when I go and no one else is around it's just meh. read more

absolutely delicious strawberry Matcha. I was browsing through Williamsburg on a hot weekend day and passed by this refreshing Matcha spot. They had many different Matcha lemonades and I decided to opt for my favorite go to which is a strawberry Matcha. The Matcha was great quality and the strawberry syrup was fresh and I really enjoyed the balance of strawberry and Matcha. There's not too much seating inside. Otherwise, the place was pretty busy, but my drink came within a few minutes. I would definitely recommend. read more

Henry was a great server. Very attentive, friendly, and funny. He truly made our experience enjoyable. The sashimi and sushi were incredibly fresh, practically melting in our mouths, and so smooth and flavorful. The ambiance was nice and cozy, perfect for a cold, snowy day. Once again, Henry was an outstanding server you're lucky to have him. He definitely deserves a raise! I would come back and bring my friends just to be served by Henry again and enjoy the delicious food. read more

Williamsburg/Greenpoint has plenty of amazing matcha places bur decided to go with Nippon Cha as a late afternoon pick me up. I saw that they had a Kuro Mitsu or brown sugar syrup matcha latte which is something I've never seen before in any other matcha cafe. The store was small and had a screen to order. The matcha came out with the perfect color and a dash of brown sugar syrup on the bottom. It was honestly one of the best drinks I've had this year! The matcha was earthy and was complimented by the roasted brown sugar flavor. I got less sweet and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Would 100% come back again and try their other matcha drinks! read more

After hearing so much about this spot, I really wanted to try it and thought that it was alright. I got their brown sugar matcha and my friend got their strawberry matcha. I thought that the matcha flavor was a bit lacking and just wish that it was a bit stronger. But, my friend really liked their drink. I do recommend if you were to get one of the two though, to try their strawberry matcha! read more

i got their iced strawberry matcha latte with almond milk and i thought their matcha tasted authentic! however, i would just get their regular iced matcha latte next time because i paid an extra $1.50 for barely any strawberry in my drink. also, i think their matcha is on the stronger side or maybe they added a lot of matcha powder because a few hours later, i felt extremely happy, wanted to run around, and was so talkative at work. not that i'm complaining though LMAO. read more

Matcha Yuzu Lemonade : Tried the matcha yuzu lemonade and wow--super refreshing! The matcha is smooth and earthy, not too bitter, and pairs perfectly with the tart citrus punch from the yuzu. It's not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. You get this clean, crisp flavor with a little zing that's perfect on a hot day. Definitely something different in the best way. Would totally order it again! Matcha Latte w/ Almond Milk: One of the better matcha lattes I've had in a while! It had that rich, slightly grassy matcha flavor without being too bitter, and it was perfectly balanced with the almond milk. You can tell they use good quality matcha--not too sweet, just the right amount to bring out the flavor. Every order made from scratch to your liking. Highly recommend if you're a matcha fan! Only issue is the store set up. You order on the iPad by the entrance which is also where the dining tables are. You have to stay close by because they call your order number. Because the dining table takes up a lot of space in a small store & the ordering iPad is by the entrance too, it can get pretty cramped in there. Plus there are also people inside looking at the menu that is behind the counter too so it gets more cramped. I think they shouldn't even have the tables there which will allow more space for people to move around but just my own personal preference. read more

This place has good quality food for a very reasonable price. The sashimi is very fresh . I got the beef curry udon which is so chewy and flavorful. The steak and rice dish is also very tasty!

I wanted a pick-me-up after lunch and we stumbled upon Nippon Cha. There is usually a line, but it moves quickly. I opted for the pumpkin spice hojicha latte, since I have never seen anything like it. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and the pumpkin complemented the hojicha well. I tried my friends' matcha lattes and wasn't particularly "wow-ed" by them, but I really enjoyed the hojicha here! read more

This was my first time having matcha latte and matcha lemonade, and this place did not disappoint! Nippon Cha has a fantastic selection of matcha drinks-- I especially loved the matcha lemonade for a sweet yet tangy drink, perfect to drink on a hot day. The service was pretty fast considering how busy this place was. The seating areas, however, were very limited. Best to order for take out when it's busy! read more

Nippon Cha - T7. Tochucha Yuzu Lemonade - Tea Rooms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Japanese tea shop with a variety of drinks to offer, from matcha, hojicha, to lemonade. Casual and small interior. Service could use some work. You can order through the iPad near the entrance or at the register. The size of the large drink is insane, although it's around 10 dollars with tax. They put a lot of matcha powder in their drinks, it's not sweeten so it can be a bit too strong. The matcha soft serve is not very sweet, strong matcha flavor, and has a bit of a bitter aftertaste. iPad menu didn't have the option to select which milk I'd like, but the baristas told me with an attitude that oat milk requires additional cost which I am not aware of. But I guess she didn't want to go through the hassle to charge me for another time, so she said "for next time". Though, I wouldn't have minded paying additional if it's stated when ordering via the iPad. read more

If you like matcha and you're around the area I'd recommend stopping by. I didn't get anything fancy - just an iced matcha with oat milk. Not too grassy or bitter, perfect amount of "earthiness" and it was smooth (not filled with chunky green powder). Place is TINY. Do not recommend coming here to hangout unless it's a nice day because there are some outdoor tables. Other than that it's almost just an order at the counter or kiosk and go situation. There also can be long lines (again, the place is tiny), but it moves fast. read more
