Kizuna is a third space for people who are craving IRL connection in our hyperdigital world. We are a cafe & event space on a mission to help you build community through experiences that center social connection, joy, play, and presence so you can live a happier, healthier, fuller life.
Coming in 2026 to Crown Heights at 84 Rogers Ave.
About
The Vibe – Your home away from home to hang with friends, get work done, or simply enjoy a quiet moment to yourself. Whatever you’re feeling, you can count on Kizuna for a welcoming environment, a great playlist, and delicious food & drinks.
The Menu – Bold, comforting Japanese and Hawaiian flavors inspired by our founders’ childhood that will nourish your body & soul. Enjoy coffee, matcha, tea, and grab & go snacks like musubi, onigiri, sandwiches, pastries and more.
The Events – Kizuna events are designed to build community through shared interests or experiences, creating the space for you to unplug, make new friends, deepen connections with old ones, and do more of what brings you joy.
Let’s Collab
We are excited to partner with groups and communities that share our ethos for genuine connection, joy, presence, and play. From run clubs to supper clubs, art parties to book swaps, movement classes to meditation groups, 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!

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.
-
Presence
Kizuna experiences are designed to help you unplug, stay present, and foster meaningful connections IRL away from the tiny screens that rule our lives.
Event Calendar Coming Soon!
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.
