Spring is officially in full bloom, and that means the flowers are about to be, too. But flowers are not just for looking — they’re also for drinking. These five Westchester spots offer spring-themed floral drinks to fill your morning cup up with a dash of seasonal deliciousness, flower sprinkles optional.
Tous les Jours

CAFETERO Coffee Company
111 Centre Ave #11, New Rochelle; 914.361.2022
Conveniently located only a couple blocks from the New Rochelle train station, Cafetero is a must-visit for floral-flavored drinks. The best part is that there is not just one drink that’s floral; this café stocks rose syrup that can be added to any drink of your choosing. Put it in lattes, matchas, or whatever else you’d like.

Caffè Ammi Roasting Co.
109 6th St, Pelham; 914.738.2511
Like Cafetero, Caffè Ammi doesn’t limit the flowery options to just one drink. Taking it a step further, Caffé Ammi doesn’t just have rose syrup; there’s lavender syrup as well. The lavender is mixed with honey (perfect for a matcha), and the rose flavor will make you feel like you’re walking through the gardens at Untermyer.

The Cozy Cup
5 Broad St, Mount Vernon; 914.412.0042
The Cozy Cup was founded by Celeste Olivo, a local elementary school teacher. The tea house offers afternoon tea, sugar cookie decorating, s’more making, and tea tasting. While you can pick floral teas from the tea menu, our eyes are set on the matcha rose under the signature drinks. This cup of tea is a flavorful twist on traditional matcha with the subtle, sweet flavor of rose accompanying each sip.

5 Spice Tea House & Restaurant
11A S Moger Ave, Mount Kisco; 914.666.8882
Although floral teas like hibiscus exist at a number of spots in Westchester, the teas at 5 Spice Tea House are particularly noteworthy. Along with the extensive pan-Asian food menu, the tea house and restaurant carries a substantial collection of flower-themed teas and drinks. To make it feel like spring in your mouth (even if it doesn’t feel like it outside), try something from the special flower tea selection, including rose tea, chrysanthemum tea, and pearl jasmine green tea.
