"Cafe Zaiya has two locations on 41st Street. The one you need to know about (for soft serve purposes) is between 5th and Madison, and has very good black sesame and matcha flavors that come in big portions." - hannah albertine, emma, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren

super cute cafe and environment. I got the Sakura rose milk tea 🧋 . But, I will say that the boba 🧋 was very overcooked and mushy. But, it was included so I won’t complain. I really just like Sakura 🌸 and floral flavors for milk 🥛 tea so I’m glad that was an option.

Quick stop to get food to go before going home after school/work. The onigiri is a must try and their bakery items are very tasty. I always stop by here for a cheap meal.

Quite nice that there’s a cafe inside the Kinokunya bookstore. You can shop as you please and then when you need a break, grab a drink or some snacks and chill out over at the cafe. It also overlooks Bryant park while having cool air conditioning. I got the cafe mocha and it was quite refreshing but not too strong on the coffee.

Bad service. ordered a hot chocolate at 5pm. No receipt. Got a coffee instead. Went to ask to change it but the employee refused because she insists she heard coffee. We never drink coffee in the evening. Now we have a useless cup full of coffee to carry around.

The service on the 16th of January 2025 was bad. I ordered a hot chocolate but got a coffee. Went back to tell the person I ordered a hot chocolate, but she told me “no you ordered coffee”. I said no I said hot chocolate. She said “ no I didn’t hear that, you ordered coffee”. No matter how many time I said I order hot chocolate, the same impatient and cold voice repeating the same thing “ your ordered coffee”, “ no I didn’t hear hot chocolate” … the fact is, I never ordered any drinks with “coffee” in the name in my whole life. It was impossible that I would suddenly forget I hate coffee and order from her. Is it that difficult to admit a small mistake or mishearing ??? I have to say it was quite disturbing. Lowered my feeling on the bookstore as well.

Cafe Zaiya is the small cafe found on the second floor of Kinokuniya NYC. It's a great little shop that serves up some most of the items that can be found in Japan's convenience stores like onigiri, bento boxes, and low-grade sushi. There are microwaves available to heat up bento boxes. Cafe Zaiya has one of my favorite place to sit during the winter months: the bench seats along the Eastern windows provides an excellent view of the skate rink at Bryant Park. The bench seats are great for people watching in the warm climate-controlled area with your hot drinks from Cafe Zaiya. Prices are very reasonable, but the cafe area is quite small, so finding a seat may be difficult. Beware that you will have to finish all food and drink items before leaving the cafe area as Kinokuniya has a no food or drink policy (like most typical bookstores).

It's a bakery located at the 2nd floor of the Japanese bookstore. Green tea 8” whole cake tastes good with red bean filling and fresh. Red bean fillings with strawberry and chestnut on the top. But the website needs update becuz the price has raised. I ordered the whole cake over the phone and paid in advance. BTW, the cashier is so friendly and helpful!

I'm not a Japanese food expert so don't take my review too seriously. We ordered a croissant, some cat shaped bread, and a tuna onigiri. The croissant was delightful. The car shaped bread was really good according to my sister, it looked very cure and delicious. I had the onigiri which was my first one ever, I enjoyed it and will try our the other flavors in my next visit. The location is optimal since after dhopping and looking arojnd for books, you can enjoy an exquisite snack.
