Kizuna is an all day cafe that hosts events rooted in community, connection, joy, and play coming soon to Brooklyn, NY.

Our Mission

is simply to bring more joy into people’s lives.

Our method? Curated events & experiences that center community, connection, and play.

The result? Less loneliness, burnout & screen time. More happiness, deeper social connections, and improved overall well being.

We are excited to be coming soon to Brooklyn, NY where we'll be serving up joy in the form of community focused events and a menu of Japanese & Hawaiian-inspired drinks, bites & treats. At our core, we’re more than a cafe, we are a place to find your people, a place to find joy, a place to fill your cup - and we hope to see you soon!

Event Partners

We are excited to partner with values aligned groups, clubs, and communities that share our ethos for genuine connection, joy, and play. From run clubs to pop-up dinners, art parties to book clubs, wellness workshops to game nights, or anything in between, Kizuna is your place to gather and grow your community. Whether you’d like to have a weekly or monthly residency or just pop up here and there, we’d love to chat and see how we can work together to bring your community together to form meaningful connections IRL!

Community

Our community (that’s you!) is the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to bring more happiness into each and every one of your lives while helping you find your tribe, make new friends, and deepen relationships with existing ones.

Kizuna Event Philosophy

  • Joy

    As a safe, fun, and welcoming third space created for you to center your joy, we offer a wide range of event programming so you can find and do more of what sparks joy for you. 

  • Play

    Daily responsibilities tend to push play to the back burner, however, prioritizing play is essential for your overall well being. Honor your inner child, try something new, have fun!

  • Connect

    Kizuna exists to help you meet, deepen connections, and build community with people who get lit up by the same things you do. 

  • Unplug

    Kizuna experiences are designed to help you unplug, stay present, and foster meaningful connections IRL away from the tiny screens that rule our lives.

Kizuna exists to bring more joy to your life, creating experiences that give you the chance to pour into yourself. It can be hard to pull yourself away from daily pressures & responsibilities but let us remind you, you can’t pour from an empty cup! Kizuna experiences are designed to give you a welcoming space to do more of what lights you up and help you connect with others over shared interests or life experiences. Regardless of the programming, you can expect your Kizuna event experience to be centered around building community, deepening social connections, unplugging, and enjoying light-hearted, just-for-fun play.
