Authentic Japanese tea house offering matcha, houjicha, and pastries
"A matcha cafe and tasting counter from Japanese tea shop Kettl, pairing various teas with desserts during daytime hours." - Tierney Plumb
"Kettl, a Brooklyn-based tea company, is experiencing challenges in their matcha supply chain due to the increased global demand for matcha. Although confident in their supply chain, some offerings have sold out. The company emphasizes educating customers on the limited availability of matcha compared to typical products available year-round." - Bettina Makalintal
"A Greenpoint teahouse where Ogawa offers her wagashi on weekends as part of a tea experience; the shop presents the wagashi ceremonially, and Ogawa is also often hired to prepare wagashi for educational courses and related events." - Emma Orlow
"At Kettl I watched pastry chef Chika Hanyu’s imaginative matcha parfait ($15) come together: a base of roughly crushed graham crackers topped with a pouf of whipped cream, dark green matcha sponge cake, a scoop of matcha gelato, two types of crispy meringue (strawberry and matcha), black tea jelly, chewy gyuuhi (soft mochi), and a sprinkling of sobacha, with orders spiking whenever a picturesque parfait crosses the dining room — tip: sit at the bar to see the careful construction." - Chihiro Tomioka
"Alongside Taku Sando, this is one of the TikTok restaurants that define the far edge of my neighborhood; I pass through that area for errands, treating it as a landmark of the current food-and-drink hype circuit." - Zach Schiffman, Margalit Cutler
