Whether you’re an iced coffee ride-or-die or need a warm-up on a chilly spring morning, Café Equinox’s Pollinated Lavender Latte is just right for the occasion. Located in both Overland Park and inside the Family Tree Nursery on Nieman Road, Café Equinox (an extension of Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters) pays homage to their botanically inspired homebase with the Pollinated Lavender Latte. It’s brewed with hand-pulled Thou Mayest espresso, any milk or milk substitute of your choosing and the cafe’s signature house-made lavender simple syrup. Finished with local Cooper’s honey and bee pollen, a trending superfood renowned for its many vitamins and antioxidants, the brew has a delicate balance of floral and herbaceous notes with an earthy undertone.
Family Tree Nursery feels more like a day in the botanical gardens than a gardening store. Café Equinox’s coffee counter is located in the front, and once you’ve got your caffeine in tow, you can roam deeper into the nursery and enmesh yourself among the fauna in the greenhouse’s lounge. Here, you can sit nestled between crowds of philodendrons, monsteras and curated displays of greenery. You’re certain to leave Café Equinox with a boost of energy from both your morning coffee and the peaceful warmth and greenery of the nursery itself. You might even leave with a new leafy friend, too.
