About Usagi NY
Usagi NY is a multi-format Japanese space at 163 Plymouth Street that combines a coffee bar, an art gallery, a curated retail store, and a bookstore under a single roof, tucked away from the main DUMBO tourist corridors and closer to the East River. The interior is one of the most considered in the neighborhood: high ceilings, warm wood, soft lighting, and rotating contemporary art exhibitions that make the space feel as much like a gallery as a café. The coffee program is small but precise, with attention paid to brew technique and bean quality. Matcha is a serious offering, sourced from quality Japanese suppliers and prepared with the care you'd expect from a dedicated tea bar. Pastries from Japanese-leaning bakeries round out the menu. The combination of cultural depth, design intention, and quiet location makes Usagi a destination for people who want their coffee paired with a longer creative or contemplative experience, not a quick caffeine stop.
