BOWERY VISUAL ARTS

Bowery Visual Arts is a café that’s got its act together. The moment you walk in, you’ll notice it’s buzzing with life and adorable plants that seem to be judging your life choices. The Matcha Latte is creamy but could use a serious pep talk about being stronger. And let’s not forget the almond croissant, which apparently has achieved pastry nirvana because it’s fluffier than your average pillow.

Alex loves this place, and after two years of regular visits, their sandwiches are practically a love letter to lunchtime. The vibe is chill, and the staff are quick enough to keep you caffeinated without sacrificing friendly banter. If you’re looking for a cozy spot that actually serves decent food, Bowery’s got your back. Just don’t expect to walk in and out quickly; that croissant is worth every minute.
