NYC has more coffee shops per capita than any other U.S. city–it’s home to a whopping 6,753 coffee shops and 3,738 cafés. And if you’re looking for somewhere you can enjoy your tasty cup of joe in an aesthetically pleasing space, you can find that too! The good news: the most beautiful coffee shops in North America have been identified.
Global print-on-demand company Printful analyzed Instagram hashtag volumes for more than 100 of the most popular cafés across North America to identify the prettiest, most aesthetically pleasing spots. And though NYC had many coffee shops to choose from, one came out on top.
According to the study, NYC’s Maman is capturing attention with its charming aesthetic, securing fifth place among the most Instagrammable coffee shops in the U.S.–it’s garnered a whopping 15,504 Instagram posts.

Maman is a café, bakery, restaurant, and event space with 15+ locations around NYC. The café has been welcoming sleepy New Yorkers through its doors since its first location, an independent café and bakery in SoHo, opened in October 2014. Those that start their day with Maman will be greeted by the most delicious scents wafting through the space. Pair that with its rustic décor and you’ll feel as if you’re getting a warm hug just by being inside.
What the Maman founders have done is bring to life a melding of their earliest childhood experiences in the kitchen and give a nod to their mothers from the south of France and North America–there’s a reason the café is named Maman; it means “mother” in French!

Maman offers a selection of baked goods, coffee (of course!), and fresh breakfast and lunch options including a broad menu of hearty salads, quiches, sandwiches, and pastries and sweets. Some locations offer seated lunch, brunch, and a full bar. If you stop by, be sure to grab their famous Nutty Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which has been called one of the best cookies in New York and was listed on Oprah’s favorite things!
With over 300,452 hashtags, Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, LA takes the top spot as the most Instagrammable cafe in the US. The coffee shop is famous for its photo-worthy beignets and chicory coffee, and its classic atmosphere, combined with a vintage aesthetic, draws in both locals and tourists looking for a classic NOLA experience to capture and share online.
