Remi43 Flower & Coffee

"Have you ever wanted to answer emails in the middle of a rich person’s greenhouse? Hanging out at Remi43, which has two locations in Midtown, feels like that. It’s so lush and luxurious, your coworkers will probably ask where you are when you sign on for that quick daily meeting." - neha talreja, nikko duren, carina finn koeppicus, sonal shah

"Remi isn’t the only combination plant shop and cafe in NYC, but it is the only one where you can order a fancy latte and have them make you a matching mini floral arrangement. Naturally, the best drinks at this Midtown spot are floral varieties like rose and lavender, which accent the flavor of the espresso rather than make it taste like someone sprayed perfume in your drink. It’s more low-key than you’d expect for somewhere so photogenic, so feel free to bring your laptop. If you can’t do the digital nomad thing, this is the next best place to take zoom meetings (and make your coworkers jealous). They have another location four blocks up on 44th. " - neha talreja

"Perhaps you need more than just iced coffee to ease the burden of being alive. If that’s the case, you should go to Remi43, a coffee and flower shop that feels like your own private botanical garden. They have a rotating selection of speciality lattes here, but we particularly love the rose or lavender varieties, which have subtle floral notes that accent the flavor of the espresso rather than making it taste like someone sprayed perfume in your drink. For $30, you can get an iced latte with a matching mini floral arrangement, delivered to your table in an extremely cute double-drink caddy. This combo actually serves a lot of purposes. It’s a quick and easy way to say “I’m sorry” or “I like you” or “I’m not telling you who bought me these flowers.” " - carina finn koeppicus

"Have you ever wanted to hang out in a flower shop, but felt too awkward sitting there while florists do their thing? Remi43, which has two locations in Midtown East, is here to fill that void. While this isn't the only combination plant shop and cafe in NYC, it is the only one where you can order a fancy latte and have them make you a tiny matching floral arrangement. Sitting here feels like being in a lush greenhouse on a rich person's property, right in the middle of Manhattan. We love that." - Carina Finn
