Move over pumpkin spice–there’s a new fall flavor in town, and it’s being served at the Lower East Side’s newest coffeeshop, Dialogue Coffee and Flowers.
The space is brewing up delicious Asian-inspired drinks, with everything from Black Sesame Lattes and Matcha Einspanners to Rose Foam Lattes and Fermented Rice Osmanthus Iced Lattes. Plus, it’s all vegan–even their Nutella cream cheese and blueberry rosemary bomboloni.
What we really have our eye on though is their Carrot Cake Latte, which is topped with cinnamon cream cold foam and a cutie mini carrot. It tastes exactly how it sounds–like dessert in a cup–however it’s not overly sweet.
Beyond the drinks you can also get your hands on deliciously fresh pastries and, yes, even the flowers. All the fresh flowers and bouquets you see throughout are available to purchase. So if you’re in the market for some pretty petals you won’t even have to stop off at a separate plant shop!
And as for the space itself Dialogue may quite possibly be one of the prettiest cafes we’ve ever seen. Florals cover the walls and ceilings, curtains flow in the breeze, the menus are handwritten on parchment paper, and there’s a stunning open window bar. And though the cafe incorporates a lot of white its simplicity exudes cozy, cottage vibes.
There’s WiFi, plenty of seating (both indoors and outdoors), and tons of natural light–so even if you’re tempted to head over on a weekday it’s a great place to work remotely–though it’s also the perfect space to head to with friends (and force them to snap tons of pics of you for your Instagram feed).
Even more, word on the street is that they’re thinking of releasing a cocktail/late night tapas menu soon, which we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for!
Dialogue made its debut in a soft opening phase this past summer, but it’s now open for good! Follow along with them on their website or Instagram.
