This has got to be the hippest place on the planet. Part-gallery, matcha café , boutique , bento box maker. Walk past the art books to the back to grab one of the authentic bentos before they're gone.

I would come here every day to work if I could. A Japanese coffee shop x library hidden behind a minimalistic gallery . Expect all sorts of matcha drinks, great pies and peaceful vibes.

Delicious pourover , espresso drinks , and Japanese cold brew -- along with small food items -- served in the back of a gallery space.

Avneesh Kohli

Delightful little cafe tucked away in the back of a Japanese art gallery . The pour over coffee is great, and the aesthetic is on point.

Rachel Nash

Get the mizudashi, the Japanes-style slow drip cold brew , which they make in those insane scientific looking contraptions on the countertop. So smooth, so delicious.

Sven Lenaerts

Lovely quiet place in the middle of DUMBO. Very relaxing environment to drink some coffee or tea while reading or trying to get some work done. Highly recommended.

Nice art gallery + shop + coffee space. Great atmosphere and energy. Plenty of coffee options !

Come in and browse works by Japanese artists — some who actually work on their pieces in the galley itself. Good cafe and Japanese-made good to peruse.

Keith Lea

Love the iced matcha latte ! I love any store that takes iced tea as seriously as hot tea .

Danny Salvatori

Their single origin pour overs take a while but are oh-so worth it. You really can tell the difference between that and a normal cup of coffee .

Emily Wilson

The best spot for anything matcha in DUMBO.

It's​ a beautiful place, but they haven't good coffee I think the punctuation is for the design place.

Such a cute coffee shop , it looks like some weird japenese gallery but head to the back and the coffee shop is there. A ton better than Brooklyn Roasters which is across the road .
