Morning Lavender Cafe

Is Morning Lavender a coffee shop with an attached clothing store, or a clothing store with an attached coffee shop? Even if the answer is almost certainly “clothes first, coffee second,” this is a gorgeous, fascinating place to grab a drink and snacks – during colder days, their namesake hot lavender latte is truly something special, and their macarons are pretty great, too. Iced drinks, including seasonal pumpkin chai, maple cinnamon matcha, and churro waffle lattes, tend to be almost as delicious as they are imaginative.

Between the space and the drinks, Morning Lavender is the definition of “aesthetic” as it’s commonly used today, a wedding photographer and fashion blogger’s vision for how largely pastel-colored clothing, decor, food and drinks could come together to make a strong sensory impression. Even atop a perfectly frothed latte, mid-toned purple lavender buds pop visually while florally scenting the coffee, just as nearby neon signage blends with flowers in an unlikely but winning combination. Food bloggers can complete their bingo cards by ordering flights of drinks, avocado toast, or an afternoon high tea (available by advance reservation), any and all of which make sense in a setting like this.
