Maman From the rabbit vases filled with gorgeous flowers to the vibrant patterns on the cups and walls, literally everything in this cafe is Instagram-worthy.

The Elk Tucked into the West Village, this serene and inviting space is perfect for meeting just about anyone. Their food is nothing short of scrumptious, and there are plenty of dedicated “no laptop” tables (which is awesome, when you think about it).

Two Hands A popular brunch spot, Two Hands has some of the best lattes around. And, although their food and coffee is Instagram-worthy in itself, the large floating clouds, modern artwork and exposed light bulbs make this cafe’s interior the focus of your photograph.

Hungry Ghost The stunning wooden tables at this Brooklyn hangout are enough to make us venture across the bridge.

Saturdays NYC A cafe-shop duo with a ton of surf boards and reclaimed wood floating about their SoHo space makes this cafe one of the best to photograph. Check out their huge outdoor garden for an additional place to Instagram.

Sweatshop Perhaps one of the best coffee shops in Brooklyn, this hidden gem has everything an interior designer dreams of in a cafe. Not only does this spot have a killer cappuccino, but their use of a white on white color palette combined with bold shelving and decorative tables makes this a perfect spot to photograph.
