I love discovering Instagrammable spots and capturing the best shots. If you don’t already follow me on Instagram, I post some of the best hotel views and cute cafes from around the world. I have been scouting the most Instagrammable cafes in NYC (where I am based) and here are my top 12 picks!
12 Most Instagrammable Cafes in NYC
1. Sézane
Sézane is an eclectic French fashion and lifestyle store in the heart of Nolita. They also have a couch where you can enjoy some pastries and coffee. I have been seeing Sézane all over Instagram because of their super Instagrammable floral decorations outside their store. I assume this is a temporary spring time decoration so hurry and get your shot before the flowers are gone!

2. Flour Shop
Flour Shop by Amira Kassem was clearly made for Instagram. Not only are their desserts super colorful (think rainbow cakes and unicorn cakes), but their store is also made for Instagrammable shots. Make sure to wear a bright colored outfit to stand out against the rainbow walls!

3. Avocado Appétit
I am a sucker for all things avocado so when I discovered Avocado Appétit I knew I had to visit! In addition to super yummy avocado toasts, they also have a super Instagrammable wall art full of avocados. For drinks, their iced matcha latte is an amazing choice for the warm weather in NYC right now.

Talking about good matcha lattes, Cha Cha Matcha has some of the best matcha drinks in the city. It also has a pastel pink and green theme going on that’s super photogenic. Prepare to line up to get your delicious drink as Cha Cha Matcha is one of the hottest spots for an Instagrammable drink in NYC right now!

5. Sweet Moment NYC
Number one most Instagrammable drinks goes to Sweet Moment NYC in Chinatown. The interior at Sweet Moment NYC may not be the most Instagrammable (not a lot of light), but their drinks and food are definitely one of the cutest in New York City! Their special drinks are their signature with pastel colored cream toppings on top of coffee or milk tea.
6. Sweet Time Dessert Cafe
After visiting the most Instagrammable flower wall cafe in London, I have finally found its counterpart in New York – Sweet Time Dessert Cafe. Come for their special sweet drinks, cute cakes and a shot by their baby pink flower wall for that ultra girly Instagram shot!
7. The Blue Box Cafe
If you love Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Tiffany blue and all things Tiffany then you’ll love The Blue Box Cafe on the 4th floor of Tiffany’s New York flagship store. Decorated completely in Tiffany blue, it’s no wonder this is one of the most Instagrammable cafes in NYC. Make sure to make a reservation to secure your spot!
8. Dylan’s Candy Bar
A colorful candy shop like Dylan’s Candy Bar is guaranteed to be super Instagrammable especially when they have a cafe with a cupcake booth! In addition to their cafe, the store itself is also super photogenic with its colorful candies.
9. Sprinkles
Sprinkles is a cupcake, ice cream and cookies chain with 3 locations in NYC. But the most Instagrammable spot is the Cupcake ATM at their 780 Lexington Ave location with its pink walls.
10. Woops
Woops is known for their colorful macarons and beautiful white decor. This store is for the blogger/instagrammer with a minimalistic and feminine aesthetic. They have multiple locations throughout the US and locations in New York all feature gorgeous tables that make for the perfect flatlay.
11. Laduree
When the famous french macaron brand comes to New York, they make sure that their stores are super Instagrammable. With their signature pastel green, French style and colorful macarons, it’s no wonder bloggers all flock to Laduree for that Instagram shot.
12. Rose and Basil
Rose and Basil is located in East Village and has gorgeous decorative white seats and tables with pretty flowers that adorn the wall. They also have beautiful custom cakes that can be ordered through their website.

All these places are just picture perfect. Now just gotta see if I can drag my hubby along to them when we’re in New York! Hehe!
Many of them are congregated in the same area so you can hop from one place to the other and just grab a quick drink at each place, or even just ask if you can take a photo there 🙂 Many places really welcome photos! Good luck!
