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

I was a traveller and got yo know this place on social media, I ordered earl grey latte and the barista gave me an earl grey tea. When I informed her of the wrong order within seconds she gave me a tasteless watery latte as if she just poured steam milk in the wrong cup of earl grey tea, while she should have just made a new pinch of stretched milk and place a tea bag in it

Tucked into the heart of Union Square, Ariston Flowers & CafĂ© isn’t just a coffee shop it’s a floral sanctuary with a caffeine heartbeat. You enter through a storefront blooming with fresh-cut roses, wild stems, and seasonal arrangements, only to discover a cozy cafĂ© tucked behind the petals. It’s the kind of place that feels like a secret garden with espresso.

The coffee? Thoughtfully sourced, with Devoción’s Colombian beans leading the charge. Whether you’re sipping a velvety latte or a crisp cold brew, the flavors are clean, balanced, and quietly bold. It’s not trying to be trendy it’s trying to be timeless. And it succeeds.

Pair that with the ambiance: dried florals overhead, soft music, and the scent of eucalyptus mingling with espresso steam. You’re not just drinking coffee you’re inhaling a mood. The floral infusion even finds its way into some of the drinks, adding a subtle botanical twist that feels both intentional and indulgent.

It’s a space that invites you to linger. To sip slowly. To browse bouquets while your coffee cools. Whether you’re meeting a friend, escaping the city’s noise, or just craving a moment of aesthetic calm, Ariston delivers.

Great place for a cup of coffee but much much more. The atmosphere is enchanting as if you walked into the forest during the fall. The service was excellent and quick. Would highly recommend when in Manhattan.

Walking into this flower shop that leads into a coffee bar is magical. Perfect spot for a meet cute! The flowers were gorgeous, and the high ceilings made it possible for me to smell actual flowers while I was drinking my iced greek frappe (so good! not for the faint of heart) I thought the outdoor space seemed cozy and was so well-decorated with plants and flowers, it seemed like an oasis. It’s really a beautiful escape.

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.

The flowers are nice, but they laughed at me when I asked for Wifi since they do not have it available on the weekends. They also block out cell service so you cannot use a hotspot with your computer.

Aniston Flowers & Cafe is a pretty florist's store with a cafe at the back. As I walked in this morning, I noticed the Anthuriums in red and white. I particularly find these flowers exquisite. The cafe is in the back and looked comfortable with plenty of seating. The Freddo Cappuccino ($6.25) was similar to an iced cappuccino which is what I chose. I also had a Cinnamon Kouign Aman ($6) which was only in name and didn't actually resemble an authentic version. Tommy took the orders and Kosas was the barista. Greek owned, the pastries are made in a cloud kitchen in Astoria and the cookies in the kitchen cafe. Music was pleasant and there is a large gender neutral coded (no key) restroom on the ground floor. Upstairs seating is also available. While I was having my coffee I saw a customer doing pushups on the floor which was a surprise as the floor is unhygienic and I wondered if this was to justify what he was going to have? The menu has lunch options. During the weekend Kosas told me that the cafe is filled with customers and many students from NYU and pastries get finished quite quickly. Weekday mornings are favorable.
