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 feels like it just came out of the oven, and you can taste the care in each bite. Drinks are always spot-on too, consistently balanced and smooth. It may be a small café without a full kitchen, but the atmosphere and quality are insanely good. A true neighborhood gem.

Basically, they serve for take out only since there’re no any table seating inside. They have long line during weekend. For the price, it’s like the other coffee shop. The hojicha is sooo good! I prefer this rather than their matcha.

Cute, small place they make your drinks in front of you and very quickly. I got the black sesame latte and it was pretty good, it has white chocolate for sweetness. It's nutty and a bit grainy cuz the sesame seeds.

Strawberry Matcha Lovers, This One’s for You! I tried the strawberry matcha at Kijitora and it was so good! The matcha was rich and balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the strawberry. Definitely a must-try if you’re a fan of both. Just a heads-up—be ready for a long queue. It’s a popular spot, and for good reason. Totally worth the wait though!

Staff was kind and welcoming. Strawberry matcha was delicious, and not too sweet which is a good thing for me. I’m not a fan of cats, but the cafe had really cute cat items for sale..so cute I was almost tempted to buy something.

Cute little cafe, refreshing drinks and cool little cat decor! I got the iced strawberry matcha latte and it was very refreshing and had a good strawberry taste. My friend got the hoji tea and it was delicious, reminiscent of black tea. Overall a nice place to relax and get a refreshing sweet drink!

Adorable cafe with amazing drinks. Space inside the cafe was somewhat small but there are seating outside as well including the one beside it. Got the Hoji Latte and it was great, gave us the option to choose what kind of milk as well. Service was fast and the staff was very nice. Answered questions regarding the menu (also let me fill up my bottle with water 👍).

Solid spot in the heart of Williamsburg for a matcha latte or coffee. It's a big plus that they're pet-friendly.

Quality matcha (althought it is premade) and the strawberry matcha latte seemed to be a popular order! The plain matcha tea with a splash of almond milk was also good too, would come back to try their other options!

Imma be so honest that matcha was booty. It was so weak and watery - not creamy and strong at all. Second worst matcha I’ve had in NYC. I said it. This spot should notttt have a line. Maybe the strawberry is better but there matcha itself was just not it. It’s also matcha concentrate, not whisked matcha. The staff also kept speaking so quietly to me so I couldn’t hear them… and then they’d yell at everyone about keeping the door closed.

Would not recommend for matcha. Influencers on Instagram and Tiktok have hyped this place up so much so I decided to give it a try, but the matcha was as watery/diluted as other chains. Paying $7+ for a matcha latte that tastes similar to Starbucks is laughable in this economy. I had high hopes considering the baristas are Japanese too, but everyday I come closer to giving up on finding good matcha in the US. Drink: 1/5 Service: 5/5, fast despite long line Atmosphere: 2/5, very cramped space with only one outdoor bench. Might as well function as a coffee stand.

walked in, said hi to the staff with a smile, the two ladies looked at me and didn’t say anything lmao already felt super uncomfortable but got a tiramisu latte which basically tastes like a chocolate milk which is that’s cool if that’s what you’re going for, but getting what seems like 1 shot of espresso when most places give you 2-3 shots and a whole thing of milk for 9 dollars+tip is insane. attention to the photo, where is my coffee what😔

The ice matcha latte i never have before! I didn’t like to drinks matcha too much, but this place makes me fall in love with matcha! Great service Recommend ice strawberry matcha latte with oat milk is the best!!! CHANGE STAR ⭐️ FROM 5 to 1!!!!! I’ll still keep the last review here because i really like their matcha! But the barista was terrible, after I reviewed for 5 stars service was so bad from barista, i came here for order matcha they give another customer a pepper of number but didn’t give that to me when i ask she said is you but another person said that me because is my number of orders, i asked them why i didn’t get a pepper of order they said i forgot it! And then they’re still wanna give a order for another person to me again, but that’s not mine???
