Nippon Cha
214 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Nippon Cha is an authentically Japanese matcha destination where you can watch your drink whisked to perfection, and the care staff like Nadia bring to each cup rivals the quality matcha itself. Their matcha is genuinely exceptional—smooth, bright, and balanced—with thoughtful touches like brown sugar that add nutty depth, all at a fair price that punches above its weight for Brooklyn. Despite the cozy, intimate two-table space that fills up quickly, this is the real deal if you're serious about matcha, offering both the ritual and the flavor that transforms a rough day into something genuinely restorative.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Open late.
