Café Mia is 15 minutes from most of East Williamsburg by foot, or 10 minutes by L train + walk. Worth the trip for the matcha alone.
East Williamsburg has its own emerging cafe scene, but it's still smaller than Bushwick's. For East Williamsburg residents who want serious matcha or a spacious work-from-cafe option, Café Mia is the closest move that doesn't require a longer trip into Williamsburg proper.
