Café Mia is about 25–30 minutes from Greenpoint by transit. Longer than your usual cafe walk — but worth it if matcha or a serious cafe room is what you're after.
Greenpoint has its own great cafes, no question. But Greenpoint residents who venture into Bushwick for the day — and a growing number do — usually have a specific reason. This page is about why Café Mia is worth the longer trip.

Why Greenpoint regulars come
Matcha. Greenpoint has good cafes but not many specialty matcha programs. Ours is one of the more developed in Brooklyn.
Pairing the trip with a Bushwick day. Most Greenpoint customers combine the cafe visit with the Bushwick Collective, a gallery walk, or lunch.
Cafe density of Bushwick. Once you're here, there are 10 cafes within a 5-block radius. Worth the trip for the cafe-hop alone.
Make a day of it
