Crema's Take
“Tucked away on Driggs Ave, this cozy spot has mastered the art of Asian-inspired cafe drinks that feel like luxurious indulgences—their black sesame latte with white chocolate and iced strawberry matcha are the standout stars that keep locals returning again and again. Beyond the beautifully executed specialty drinks, they've nailed the pastry game too, with croissants that genuinely rival the best in Brooklyn. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a slow afternoon, there's a warmth here that makes every visit feel like stumbling upon your new favorite neighborhood gem.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu.

A perfect pit stop on Driggs Ave. Whether I’m heading into the city or just about to start my day, Kijitora never disappoints. Their croissants—plain or chocolate—are on another level, genuinely the best I’ve had in Brooklyn, baked fresh right there in the shop. Every pastry…
