I have come here every time I crossed over into Williamsburg..it's a ritual at this point. Matcha is insanely good! So is Hojicha! 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 read more

Nippon Cha - Yuzu matcha lemonade - Tea Rooms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was another matcha shop that came up in our research as one of the top picks to try, so we made 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! read more

they have many different matcha grades you can choose from. I got the cold whisked ichiban matcha latte and it was very strong but very bitter (I got unsweetened). probably premium culinary..? it's not my preference but maybe a sweetened one would balance it out better read more

Ahh I'm sorry i'm not sure what happened. I've heard wonderful things about the quality of the Matcha at this place. I got a Matcha latte and felt like there was so much milk. I couldn't taste any Matcha and it felt diluted. Everybody inside was wonderful and nice. It wasn't my favorite. read more

Small little matcha shop with quick kiosk ordering. Some matcha available for retail sale and some limited indoor and outdoor seating.

I got a brown sugar matcha latte with whole milk. God, it was one of the worse matchas I've had in NY. It tasted like straight milk. Service was friendly, but the drink itself was pretty bad. They need to figure out their ratios of milk to matcha. I might come back to try their soft serve, but I'm scared to pay $10 for another bad matcha. read more

This place is legit for strong matcha done right. They sell all kinds of high quality merchandise and tools and it's custom branded by Nippon Cha. Matcha latte, reg sweet, with oat milk (5/5) Strong matcha and good strong flavor. I consider myself a matcha nerd and I'm impressed. It's creamy, refreshing and gives a wonderful calm long lasting caffeine kick that's better than any coffee. Regular sweetness is just right. They use simple syrup by default but they offer other options like brown sugar, honey or stevia. Small cozy spot with limited window seats and outside seating. A must try for matcha enthusiasts in Brooklyn. Excellent and respectful service. read more

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

If you like seriously strong ceremonial grade matcha reminiscent of how it's done in Japan, then this is the place. The matcha is so strong that I had to drink it way slower because the caffeine was hitting. Shamefully I like matcha lattes that balance matcha quality/strength with more creaminess, so this was too much for me. But yeah this is quality stuff and the cup was quite large despite being a "small" read more

Nippon Cha - Matcha latte with oat milk - Tea Rooms Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is a small (standard size for Brooklyn) store with two inner tables and one outer table that each seat two people. I liked the ambiance, and the shop was crowded but still relatively fast. The staff were kind and provide ice water when you ask. I haven't tried the sweets here, but I was able to try two matcha varieties. The cold whisk matcha is delicious. The flavor is extremely strong, smooth, and well-balanced. That one is around a $9 price point. The matcha latte, for around $7, was not my favorite. It's quite light, and the matcha is overpowered by the milkiness. I would come back to try the varieties (the brown sugar or strawberry syrup) or the Yuzu lemonade, which sounds promising. I also may get the cold whisk matcha again, if I'm in the mood and means to spend that much on a drink. However, I would not recommend the standard matcha latte. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Visited after a year since moving away from the area. I wonder if they changed their matcha or recipe? I usually order a strawberry matcha with coconut milk and it tasted soooo different. I used to frequent this place every week when I lived nearby and the color and flavor was no where near close to where it was. Very disappointed I hope it was just a one off thing. 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 do recommend if you were to get one of the two though, to try their strawberry matcha! read more
