Remi Flower and Coffee

Remi Flower and Coffee can be found in the middle of the bustling Midtown East of New York City. What makes this cafe unique is that not only can you get a great cup of coffee, but you can also pick up beautifully arranged bouquets and plants. They specialize in coffee inspired by the flowers of the season, like their lavender latte with real lavender sprinkled along the sides. There is free WiFi as well, so it makes a nice place to spend time working or studying among the hanging plants around the shop.
