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.

I’ve already came here twice in a week, this place is overall amazing and it’s so comfortable. I usually order the Iced strawberry matcha but today I ordered it with the onigiri tuna and I loved it!! I ended up falling asleep but they left me alone and didn’t disturb me (I apologize in advance) I had apologized to the lady and she was super sweet about it! I also had ended up ordering an iced mango matcha which is just as good as the strawberry.

Matcha is batched, which isn’t my preference, but I understand it’s for efficiency. Also, the strawberry matcha at this location didn’t seem as good as the ones I’ve gotten in Brooklyn, but will come again to try their different flavors! Staff and atmosphere are both great.

Cute little coffee shop with friendly staff and great coffee! It’s a small space but they do have several tables you can use to do work or catch up with friends. Will definitely be back to try the food!

One of my favorite matcha places. This specifically is my favorite location out of the 4. I’m pretty sure it’s the original and since it’s a little farther away from the crowds, it’s not as busy. I highly recommend trying the strawberry matcha, mango matcha and tiramisu latte. They also have good vegan banana bread.

Great, wide range of drink selection! I got the black sesame white chocolate latte and it was perfect. The texture was light, sweet, and a balance of flavor. There were chunks of white chocolate that settled near the bottom, but I personally liked the textural variety, though it might not be for everyone. My friend got the mango matcha and it was also perfect. Vibrant green color, sweet flavor, and fresh mango mixed in. Both did not taste artificial or seem diluted/milky. Service was fast as they keep their concentrated matcha chilled in squeeze-bottles. The atmosphere is cute and they have cat-themed trinkets and stickers around the store. I will definitely be coming back!
