Remi43 Flower & Coffee
#nyceats #lemon8challengeRemi43 Flower & Coffee Our first stop was Remi43 Flower & Coffee just a few blocks from Grand Central Station. This place was absolutely GORGEOUS!! It’s decorated in gorgeous flowers (all for sale too!) and was a cute little tea and coffee shop. I got a Blueberry Hibiscus Iced Tea and unfortunately was very disappointed but I am very picky about how I like my teas and this one was just way too bitter for me. I wish it had been sweeter. There was also no sweetener anywhere to be found to fix it myself which I thought was odd. But the flowers and atmosphere were gorgeous!
10/10 atmosphere, 4/10 tea.
Stepping into Remi43 Flower & Coffee, just a stone's throw from Grand Central Station in NYC, felt like entering a secret garden in the heart of the city. From the moment you see the exterior, with its name elegantly displayed on the glass facade, you know you're in for something special. Inside, the vibrant interior instantly captivates. It's not just a coffee shop; it's an experience. The first thing you notice is the sheer abundance of greenery and flowers. Imagine looking up through a glass roof, seeing city buildings framed against a blue sky, all while surrounded by lush green plants and delicate orchids. It's truly a breath of fresh air. The cafe truly lives up to its 'Flower & Coffee' name. There's a wide array of fresh flowers and potted plants artfully arranged throughout the space, creating countless picturesque spots. You can even browse and buy beautiful bouquets of dried flowers, wrapped in charming brown paper, adding a unique shopping element to your visit. The cafe counter blends seamlessly with the floral displays, offering a cozy spot to order. I saw customers seated at various tables, some working quietly, others chatting amidst the abundant greenery, soaking in the lively atmosphere. It really feels like an oasis. Now, about the 'coffee' part and the menu. While my personal experience with the Blueberry Hibiscus Iced Tea was a 4/10 due to its bitterness and the lack of readily available sweetener, I noticed a variety of other options being served. Many patrons seemed to enjoy their coffees, which looked quite inviting. If you're planning a visit, especially if you're particular about your drinks, it might be worth asking about sweetener options when you order, or perhaps opting for a classic coffee or another of their tea selections. Given the general ambiance, I'd imagine their lattes and cappuccinos are popular choices for those seeking a warm, comforting beverage. Despite my specific drink disappointment, the overall atmosphere truly earned its 10/10. It's the perfect spot for a unique photo opportunity, a quiet moment of reflection, or even a casual meeting. If you're searching for a charming cafe near Grand Central Station that offers more than just a regular coffee shop experience, Remi43 is definitely worth checking out. Just be mindful of your beverage preferences, and don't hesitate to explore the beautiful floral offerings while you're there. It’s a delightful blend of urban escape and natural beauty.
