All my fellow plant moms will be in a state of euphoria at PlantShed. The original Upper West Side outpost has been one of the most treasured coffee shops in New York City for more than 40 years. Plants and flowers are available for sale so it’s not uncommon to see folks walking out the door with a latte in one hand hanging pothos in the other.

What I wrote thereFold it away

PlantShed is a paradise for fellow plant enthusiasts. While their original Upper West Side location has been a green oasis in the urban jungle for over 40 years, it’s their SoHo outpost that has one of the most adorable cafes in NYC.

Amidst the plant frenzy that has swept the city in recent years, PlantShed has capitalized by offering a space where folks can enjoy an iced matcha latte while surrounded by lush greenery. The plants and flowers are available for purchase, so it’s common to see visitors leaving with a latte in one hand a hanging basket in the other.

Similar to other charming cafes in NYC, most PlantShed locations offer ample space for guests to bring their laptops and unwind. Whether it’s for work or leisurely reading, PlantShed provides a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.
