Kijitora EAST
309 Graham Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Kijitora EAST is a cozy Brooklyn matcha and coffee destination that's earned a devoted following for its creative specialty drinks, particularly its beloved Iced Strawberry Matcha and inventive seasonal creations like the Black Sesame White Chocolate Latte. The intimate space strikes that perfect balance between a productive work spot and a comfortable gathering place for friends, with genuinely warm staff who've made regulars want to return multiple times a week. This is the original location in their small chain, and its slightly quieter vibe away from the hustle means you can actually savor both your drink and the peaceful atmosphere.”
