"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!"

"the best strawberry matcha I’ve had, definitely lives up to the hype. soo creamy and the flavors are balanced so well this location is the best out of all kijitora"

"i live near kijitora and visit almost every day. i love everything i’ve ever ordered, especially the miso mocha (my current obsession), their mango and strawberry matcha, and the miso salmon onigiri. i also love the little trinkets they sell. i wish it was a bigger space or at least had more seats but i love kijitora! definitely the best matcha i’ve had in nyc."

"Awful customer service at Kijitora east today. Ordered a roasted Kabocha cardamom latte ( pictured) and the barista spilt the drink it all over the cup and put wayyyy too much cinnamon. She handed the dripping mess to me and I wiped it up but still couldn’t drink it because I was inhaling cinnamon! I gave it back to her saying I can’t drink this and instead of offering to make me a new drink she tried to scoop out the cinnamon and handed it back to me. I ended up throwing it out because it was disgusting. It’s the second Kijitora branch I’ve been to where service has been poor. I won’t be going here again."
