Ariston Coffee Bar

What a place. Very… bold decor. Flowers. Everywhere. It just feels like a valentines explosion. But it’s cool. I liked the rose latte!! Pretty normal but high prices. Lots of space to sit.

Amazing florist+cafe! They serve Devocion coffee with their twist on it (lavender, rose). I got the rose latte and you can smell it! I’m glad I made a stop by. The decorations is super festive and aesthetic. The staff is very service minded it’s great! Came in a Monday morning 10.00am and there’s no line, plenty of seating, a lot tables to work and study.

Beautifully decorated for the holidays and also just beautiful this flower shop/ Cafe hybrid is atmospheric and very pretty. Had a mocha and the creme brule cookie both were tasty. An elder gentleman handed out beautiful roses, lots of photo ops.

Passing through a gorgeous flower shop, a stunningly decorated cafe greets you. The coffee is excellent, and the prices are reasonable. There's a second floor, so if you're looking for a quiet conversation, head there. The decorations change with the seasons, making each visit even more enjoyable.

Such a lovely spot! My friend and I had a croissant, a matcha, and a cappuccino — everything was fresh and delicious. The place feels so cozy, beautifully decorated with flowers and autumn leaves. Perfect for a relaxing coffee break! 🍁🍂☕️ 🥐

As far as atmosphere goes this coffee shop is an 11/10. Doubling as a flower shop this coffee shop continues the theme in their signature drinks. We tried the Cherry Blossom Iced Latte and the Rose Peddle Latte hot. Both my wife and I liked the Cherry blossom one a little better Definitely check this place out if you are near by

The atmosphere is great! Ordered rose patel latte and iced red velvet with whipped cream on top. The taste was absolutely fantastic. Not too sweet and can be crowded specially on valentines day.

I went in for a vanilla iced latte & it was just okay. I overheard one of the workers that their coffee beans are whole sale and it’s not the greatest coffee & I agree. This place is more for the aesthetic (which I think is so beautiful) but if you’re a true coffee lover like I am, I’d skip on this place. Over all there’s a decent amount of seating where you can enjoy a conversation with a friend or even study. The food & pastries also looked okay, nothing special or a must try on the menu in my opinion.

Ambiance 20/10 This place feels magical during Christmas season. The front of the cafe is an actual flower shop which makes the cafe feel romantic and cute. Because it is Christmas season, they also decorated the cafe with flowers and Christmas color. Service I only came for the coffee so I can't say too much about the service, but sitting in a cafe with such romantic ambiance really is something else

Stopped by the café for a quick chai latte before I had to go to a meeting. I was absolutely in love, it is the cutest space. Such a vibe for the girlies! The front is a florist/plant store and in the back there is two floors of a café. I went around 12 and it was super packed so if you're looking for a table (they have a lot of) I would just make sure to get there without needing the table right away just in case you have to wait. The line did move a little slow so I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush, but the chai latte was very good. I would definitely come back to get one, but I would more likely come back if I needed a café to work from for a few hours, where I would get lunch and hang out.

This coffee shop has a flower shop connected with it at the front. Very well decorated. If you looking for a coffee shop to do your work, maybe don't come here during the weekend because they told me no wifi during weekend? Otherwise, the desserts and drinks here are pretty decent. Nice music playlist

Super cute inside for the holidays with plenty of tables on the ground floor and the upstairs. Service is fast and friendly. A little on the pricer end, but cash is 4% off and with a student ID you can have additional 10% off.

I went there on a weekday hoping to find a place to study. There were so many tiktok videos raving about this place being the most beautiful place to study .So, I wanted to give them a try . My luck was not on my favor so I couldn't find a place to study there but the store itself was pretty . They had this showcase of my favorite flower and I also went ahead to try their Matcha latte with oatmilk . It was okay not bad . The barista and the cashier's were very nice and friendly . If you're someone who likes to study in a cafe, then I'd suggest go early .

Nice spot - found it originally on IG, but have walked by more times than I can count. Lovely staff and good coffee. Feels like you've stepped into a garden with real flowers on the table, and real cups if you're taking your beverage for here. Always hard to find!

An amazing combination of cafe and florist! The decorations are seasonal and beautiful. It is such a loud environment, many people sitting around. There is a more quiet upstairs section that was nice to hear one another. The matcha, lattes, and cookies we got were so delicious!! Worth the price. I already want to come back and see what decorations they do for other seasons. I didn't get any plants here so I can't speak to that. The prices looked very high but the quality looked top notch

Ariston is something different with its flower shop wrapped around a coffee shop. The flowers are beautiful and adorn the place. There is seating and the coffee was prepared well. The barista took the time to add the heart design on my latte. I ordered a muffin and the barista even volunteered to warm it - but it still came out cold. However, this place deserves five stars for its genuineness.

Omg where do I start?! I have been coming to New York a lot with my job as a Flight Attendant and I'm usually here every week. I am always in search of really cool new places to try and things to do. I saw a reel of this place on Instagram and decided to venture on a long layover here. My hour walk from Times Square did not disappoint!!!! This cafe is hidden inside a pretty flower shop and the vibes are so fall-ish. Plenty of seating areas, first and second floors. Their design and execution of the space was definitely effective! I sat myself and I was already giddy as I await my order. It's just so pretty inside! I ordered one of their best sellers, Rose Petal Coffee and I also got a Spinach Pie! The coffee took a bit as there were people ahead of me but it wasn't bothersome. My Rose Petal Coffee was presented so beautifully with rose aroma and dried flowers. My Spinach Pie was huge, I couldn't even finish it!!! Everything was just perfect here! What a fresh and happy way to start my morning in NYC! Defo recommending it! Even their to gonbag was pretty!!!

It is pretty inside by the flower shop, but cafe side was just ok. Coffee was great, but others were just ok.

I'm on a mission to explore aesthetic floral cafes and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to check out Ariston Cafe! I've definitely walked by several times during different times of the year and awed at the flowers on the ceiling. They are a flower shop in the front with the cafe tucked in the back. There are two floor with a good amount of tables/seating, but you might have to wait. The upper level seems to be more quiet but less decorated. Since its fall, they changed their floral vibes to autumn foliage vibes which I also enjoyed. I got the popular Rose Petal Latte which featured a decent rose flavor amongst the milk and espresso. Felt like the ratio of flavors and ingredients were appropriate for a latte. Enjoyed how it wasn't too sweet. The cherry blossom latte was quite interesting as it involved more cherry flavors than expected. After spending some time in DC with lots of cherry blossom themed coffees, I was expecting something more floral, but rather it featured more of the fruit flavor. Liked how the syrup mixed well with the coffee. I hope to try their baked goods next time! There were some long lines on a weekend days so service wasn't that fast. Overall, lattes were good and the views were better!

Busy cafe! And understandable because it's a very cool cafe. In such a busy city, it feels nice to just be surrounded by plants and flowers, and that's exactly what you can experience here while you're working or catching up with friends over coffee and cafe bites. Seating (upstairs and downstairs) may be harder to come by, but not impossible!

Petals and pastries, Sweet greens and savory stems, My cafe bouquet... This place gets 5 stars AND a haiku. What a dreamy spot. Someone really took the flower cafe trend to the MAX and thought through every little detail. I walked past this place and was so enamored that I changed my entire life plan for the day and came back to just look inside... which then became... peep the menu... which turned into just a quick snack... ending in a self indulgent super calming 1 hour respite from the realities of daily life. This place is a dream and easily can entice you to stay for hours. Even when you are ready to leave, you are taunted by beautiful (and affordable) hand held mini bouquets and teeny succulents and everything your little plant heart could appreciate! Not to mention, the staff is exceptionally patient and helpful. And! Gender free bathrooms. This place is definitely an unexpected oasis from the hectic hustle & bustle of union square...

This place is beyond gorgeous. Upon walking in, you can't help but smile. The hundreds of unique florals that greets you give this space such an inviting atmosphere. Not only can you make your own bouquet but there's a cafe in the back which also is enveloped by even more florals. The was pretty good and the sandwich was standard. There's also space upstairs to get some studying done. Will definitely be back !

I'd originally given this cafe 3.5 stars the last time I was here 7 months ago because the hot matcha latte was icky and had no matcha flavor at all. It was just green and bland. Would like to update my review to 4 stars now. Place is still bustling as before with tourists and people who want to work on their laptops and focus on work. Old friends catching up and drinking coffee together. Cafe is still very pretty and floral like with the fake greens and flowers as the ambiance wise. Up in the front of the cafe lays a florist shop with all kinds of good-smelling and colorful flowers and potted plants. There're not as many outlets downstairs compared to upstairs unless you're sitting next to the wall. I believe there's a restroom both downstairs and upstairs. On a side note, the restroom looks very pretty with the fake sakura tree branching out throughout the ceiling as the decoration. The floor has some crumbs and shredded paper in the corner but decently clean for the most part. Definitely not spotless imo. There're some seasonal stems of flowers in see-through glass vases on each table. Mine looks pretty dead, feeling sad for the droopy flowers. Staff is friendly and fast service. Ordered two huge chocolate chip cookies and a homemade ginger lemonade without ice. Drinks don't have to be forcefully added with ice, the thing I despise the most about iced beverages in general. Paying $6-7 for an expensive cup of ice with two sips maximum. Glad that's not the case at this cafe. I usually don't like soft cookies but these taste delicious and not overly sweet. Chocolate chips are huge, you can really see them clearly on the cookies. I like that they don't skim on the chocolate chips. Feeling full though after munching on one already. Had to take the other one to go for tomorrow. You can ask the staff for a cup of water but be careful not to spill all the liquid out because they use the flimsiest plastic cup ever. Plastic utensils, napkins, cup covers/lids and different types of sugar are stored on a shelf right next to the front counter where the cashier is. Love how I can actually taste the spiciness of the ginger without being too overpowering in flavor. Lemonade isn't overly sweet either. Can see myself coming back to this cafe when I'm in the area. Glad to see there has been improvement made here.

It is cool to be in a cafe that is part flower store. Being in Manhattan it is an oasis from everything. The coffee was good and you can have a sandwich. I enjoyed the spinach Greek sandwich but there are also the standard egg sandwiches on the menu. I tried one and the bread was fresh. Service is fast but could be friendlier. I give this an A plus for ambiance.

This restaurant made me smile soon as i walked inside, the smell the staff it's so clean i really give this place 10s if you are ever in the area please stop by if it's for coffee, flowers or a snack they have it all and it comes with great customer service

This is the most beautiful and one of the more spacious flower coffee shops. There's so much seating, and there's a mezzanine floor with more tables as well. I got the blossom latte, which was not very special or had much of a distinguished taste. There's other food options as well. I can't wait to go back to try food and a different drink.

What a beautiful café and floral shop duo! The coffee was perfect, their sweet treats were amazing and the people were so polite and so helpful! How amazing to walk into a flower shop feel the love grab a coffee and sit and enjoy the ambience!

Based upon taste I'd rate 4, based on ambiance & decor & efficiency I rate 5. A gorgeous, truly mesmerizing cafe with a unique floral shop & design is highly appealing & relaxing. I like the branded glassware and the elegance it exudes. Aside from that, what stood out positively was the cashiers high energy & smiley personality! She empowered me to order more as her patience regardless of the long line & inviting focus on me as a customer were as I expect of a customer service staff member. She's a keeper! There is plenty of seating for coworking, which I love, and it appears possible to meet new people here if solo. This made a huge difference in my rating given the food/drink disappointed. I ordered the matcha cookie & rose latte. I thought they'd both have distinct flavors but in my opinion were both plainly unimpressive. Go, enjoy!

Beautiful coffee and flower shop with quite a bit of space. There's a few spots at the bar where you can watch the workers make the orders while you get some work done. Several small tables decorate the space and you'll find lots of people catching up or on dates. There's an upstairs portion which i did not get to see. I believe there's a bathroom as well; wifi is present and there are outlets avaialble. I got the freddo coffee which was just okay, though it was my first freddo. I think a spin on it with some sweetness or flavor to the cream could do it some good. The cream is quite thick and doesn't taste too great on its own. The espresso is fine. Overall great spot for a date or catchup with a friend or if you're just trying to get some work done. Will be returning.

Okay beautiful place but definitely Not kid friendly...no high chairs & no table service. This is a grab your coffee and sit place. My infant grabbed the vase off the table and broke it. Most of the staff was nice about it but one staff member was very annoyed and his feelings were quite obvious. Now in regard to the food it was mediocore. We ordered the mozzarella and tomato which was good however the salad was not great and tasted like the dirt (poorly washed). The cappuccino was delicious! The lavender matcha looked pretty but tasted VERY watered down. The red velvet cookie and olive oil chocolate cake was okay, not terrible but I've had better. There was only one bathroom with a very long line.. safe to say I will not be returning

Ordered a cold brew and ginger lemonade. The lemonade was a little too sweet and the cold brew tasted sour. The interior is very pretty with flowers decorating everywhere. There's two floors and plenty of seating throughout. Service was quick.

If you ever want to drink lattes surrounded by flowers, try Ariston. Even the little flower decorations on your tables are real. When you walk in, you will think you are in just a regular flower shop. Keep going, you will see a cafe - tables/seats on the left, and baristas/cashiers on the right. There is an upper floor but I didn't bother checking it out since I was able to snag a seat on the main floor. My friend and I got the matcha latte and a chai latte - while the chai was nice and sweet, the matcha was more milk than matcha. Not for those with allergies, but defs check this place out if you can handle the flowers and in the area!

Ariston Cafe was an amazing experience. I took my girlfriend here on an afternoon date because she loves cafes and flowers. She got the lavender latte, chocolate croissant, and greek salad. I got the fresh orange juice, chocolate olive oil cake and spinach pie. We both shared the prosciutto mozzarella sandwich. Everything was so good, and the prices were not bad at all for the amount of items that we tried ($80 give or take). After we ate we hand picked a bouquet of flowers for her to take home. I'll admit that this part of the date was pricey, but we also went a little crazy. Neither one of us had done this before so 12 or so flowers came out to be around $125. The bouquet was beautiful though and she was happy so I can't complain. All in all, this is a great spot for a nice cafe date or if you want to grab a bite to eat and escape the heat on a warm summer day.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful coffee places I have ever visited. Besides the fact they are part of a gorgeous flower store (not the cheap food store variety, I may add), but the selection of coffees and pastries are also superb. Finding a table is not easy, but expected given the popularity this place is gaining. The menu has very original coffees, even one with rose petals. The pastries are superb. I especially loved the baklava cheesecake; get ready to salivate! Grab a table and enjoy the surroundings made of exotic plants and flowers and modern decor on two floors of space. The whole place is one you'll remember. Go. You'll be glad you did.

The ambience in this cafe is truly magical. It's hidden within a flower shop, which is every girl's dream. The coffee itself was fairly standard and more expensive than normal, but that's because you are paying for the experience. The whole cafe smells amazing and has two levels of seats that are good for chatting and working. I am looking forward to returning for a work from home day in a whimsical environment.

Super cute flower cafe, as advertised, with tasty drinks and bites This place is about the vibes. It's not the cheapest or best cafe, but I really loved sitting with a girlfriend here amidst the bustle of the crowd and the luscious plants

This is a super super cute cafe inside a flower shop. The flower shop in front opens up to this large airy space. There's an upstairs portion too. It's very pretty and the food / coffee are good too. Honestly a great date spot. If the date goes well you can just buy some flowers for the girl and win brownie points ;) double whammy :') Came around 1030am on a weekday and not many people were here (granted they're prob working lol)

This is quite possibly one of the cutest cafes I've been to in the city! It's got two floors which is awesome. The decor is so floral, fun and pretty which really just puts you in a great mood. Also there's free wifi, the staff are so sweet and there are two bathrooms! I came here with a friend around 3pm to get some work done, and this place is so popular that we weren't able to get a seat at first. We came back in an hour and were able to get a table upstairs with our drinks. I tried their lavender latte which was pretty good and about the price that you would expect (~$7). I doubt the main draw of this place is their drinks, anyway!

The flat white was really just a normal flat white. Nothing too spectacular, but I loved that they had a student discount for their drinks and foods. The cafe is very cute and has ample table space for getting work done. They were decorated with Christmas decorations for the holidays. The place does get busy, so I wouldn't count on it as a reliable place for a space to get work done. They state the wifi is on the receipt too, so you might need a print out if you need to use it. Didn't see too many outlets. They also have bathrooms which is nice.

This is hands down one of my fav cafes to visit in the city to meet up with friends or get some work done! Doubling as a floral and coffee shop, this dainty cafe gives a refreshing ambience. Even better, there are tons of seating in this two-story cafe. You can also get a tiny discount by presenting a student ID and paying with cash. And there are 2 restrooms, one on each floor - so many perks here! Honestly, I come here mostly for the atmosphere and not so much for the drinks. The drinks are decent and still kind if pricey, but I haven't tried the food or pastries here yet. If you're here to get work done, finding a seat with outlets might be a bit challenging as there are only a few up against the walls, so I suggest you charge up your devices before coming. Wifi codes are given per order and will last for up to 2 hours, so if you need it, make sure you ask for your order's receipt. Overall, absolutely gorgeous interior and opens fairly late. Great spot to get work done!

This place is amazing and I would definitely go back! Seating could be a little tricky, but totally worth waiting for a seat!

This was by far my FAVORITE spot during our trip to the big apple. This cute place caught our eye from the street in passing on Valentine's Day none the less. The rose petal latte was sooo good and just what I needed on a cold New York day. Everyone was very nice and it was a very clean spot. If you're in the area visit not only for the coffee but the beautiful aesthetic.

Lovely and cute cafe! It's very enjoyable experience in a lazy Sunday afternoon. Love it. It's worth to try!

Beautiful cafe and flower shop. The front of the store is the flower shop with both walls lined with gorgeous arrays of flowers and bouquets. From the floor to the ceiling, every color imaginable is in full display. The back of the store is where they have their cozy two floor cafe which serves plenty of coffee drinks, tea, baked goods and light snacks. I saw a sign on their wall that they serve Devocion coffee which is another one of my favorite coffee bars in Manhattan, so I knew their coffee menu would be good. The place is clean and your order comes quickly. It's a perfect place to do some reading, light work, or catching up with friends.

This is a unique concept a flower shop that has flower arrangements to purchase upfront of the store as you walk-in. In the back it's the cute decorated cafe. The ambiance is great place to chill and grab a quick coffee and bite of pastry. It's cute spot to take some photos!! You can order your drinks and pastries downstairs and take your items upstairs where there is more seatings to sit and chat or a really good spot to study!! The menu is very straightforward and basic to limited of choices but it is good. Hopefully they add more items to there drink selections of coffees and hot teas.

Absolutely beautiful 2 floor cafe with a lot of seating and magnificent floral decor to set the ambiance for a moment of relaxation as you sip on a latte. The shop caught my attention just passing by and I had to stop in. Coffee, tea and several options of cookies, cakes, and pastries. Its a bit on the busy side if you don't mind, but its still a great place to stop in with a friend to catch up. Not ideal for focusing on work or reading a book, very conveniently located near the subway on 14th street.

Truly one of the prettiest coffee shops! We ducked in here on rainy weekend afternoon. The place was packed despite 2 floors of seating and we had to wait a bit before a spot opened up. It can definitely get a bit loud and is more of a catch-up-with-a-friend kind of coffee shop vs sit-and-work. It was very nice to be surrounded by flowers and Christmas decorations. It had a great and bustling atmosphere.

This cafe is absolutely beautiful with all of the flowers and greenery everywhere. I love that it's a dual coffee shop and florist in one. There is ample seating for a coffee shop in NYC. The food was pretty good. I got a salad and it had the right proportions and dressing with fresh ingredients. The specialty latte I ordered was a little underwhelming. I could barely taste the cherry flavor. My sister ordered an iced coffee with flavoring and hers was mostly ice so she was pretty disappointed about that. But the frozen iced drink my mother got was delicious and she thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the ambience makes up for some of that and I did purchase a flower at the shop which was beautiful. Overall a pretty cool experience and one of try again.

What a cute place for a cup of coffee and girl talk. This cafe is filled with beautiful fresh flowers as you walk in , and towards the back they have a cafe where you can order breakfast sandwiches, pastries and my favorite the avocado toast. The service is quick , and the ambiance is so lovely. I mean what a dream to be surrounded by flowers . The food is also great , I had the avocado toast which was pretty basic and pricey for just some avocado on toast but it was my first time here so I gave it try. I also had coffee which was perfect ! If you're in the neighborhood you should definitely stop but whether it be just some alone time or with girlfriends catching up .

What a vibe in there during the holidays. It is a beautiful spot beaming with lots of customers. Ordered a latte and a cranberry muffin to go but was able to get a seat to enjoy the food. Surprised that they warmed the muffin for me too. Most places dont do that. I wasnt even asked about either. Would definitely come back to work or meet up with someone.

Slow service. Overall vibe is very "plastic flowers decked to the ceiling for the 'gram". If you like that, great. I didn't - just wanted a cup of good coffee to go and seems like this was not the best place for that, based on the wait time. Walk all the way into the back to order.

Super cute cafe. Many seats upstairs and downstairs and the drinks are great. I ordered a iced latte and it was really good. It def taste more like coffee rather than sweet (like starbucks) so great for coffee lovers. It is pretty noisy so keep that in mind if you were looking for a place to study. There are a lot of people studying there however also a lot of people talking over coffee and bread. The seats weren't that comfortable for me as they were painful on my back. I know upstairs has a bit more couches to sit on but it was full when I went.

Beautiful decor and florals! The cafe is a cute cozy area where can sit and lounge, but the food is okay, generic. The raspberry ice tea was watered down, sandwich okay and the cream of chicken soup was salty with small cubes of chicken. I didn't try the coffee so maybe next time I'll do that. Staff is friendly, just order at the counter and pick up the food/drinks then find a table.

Came here on Thanksgiving day with my family to start the day. The manager was amazing, so kind and welcoming. Great coffee, great service, good variety of quick food selections. We love this place. Highly recommend the lavender latte.

Why is this place so pretty?! A cafe located inside a flower shop, truly an aesthetic. It is a few blocks from Union Square. I visited on a weekend morning and it was pretty empty inside the cafe section. I think it would be a great place to work or study during off-peak hours. They have seating on the lower and upper floors, and the menu is mostly coffee with a few teas. I got a hot matcha latte to stay, and it was served in a cute mug. The matcha was very strong which I liked, and with a good amount of foam. Definitely on the pricey side though, I believe it was $6+. I think next time I'd like to try a coffee since I believe they serve Devocion, which I have always enjoyed. Also note there is free Wifi and a cash discount.

What a stunningly beautiful place, right next to Reminiscence. We stopped in for lunch and coffee. There's no table service. You order and pay at the counter. Service is cheerful and friendly. My sandwich didn't contain a lot of turkey, and the Swiss cheese was paper-thin, but less cholesterol, so not a bad thing. The bread wasn't gluten-free, but it was good, and mostly worth puffy allergy face. The pistachio cake WAS gluten-free, although very dry. The downstairs did have a number of people with empty plates and cups, typing away on laptops. I had to limp upstairs so that we could have a table. The downstairs bathroom has a door code and was both beautiful and clean, but alas lacked TP. This is why I carry Kleenex.

Super cute place!! I honestly thought it was going to be crazy expensive but I had happily surprised when it wasn't outrageous. I got a turkey and Swiss sandwich which was actually very good! The staff was really nice and there was even a student discount which is really nice. The flowers inside are beautiful and next time I just might have to buy some. Will come back!
