Stars Align for Southern Cross Coffee's East Village Arrival

Damian and I stopped by our friend Sergio's longtime-in-the-making coffee joint in the East Village -- Southern Cross Coffee -- which nods to Argentina (Sergio's native land) and Australia (his boyfriend's home country). The space is warm and cozy with a friendly staff -- their house blend is made in a percolator for maximum retro goodness! -- and I'd be raving about the flat white and chocolate croissant even if he hadn't given 'em to us on the house. Southern Cross is located on East 5th Street just east of Second Avenue, and got its first official press write-up in DNAinfo HERE. Congrats, Sergio and Adam, you really made it happen!

Interesting to see that coffee from Starbucks has twice as much caffeine as McDonald's, although I guess I'm not really that surprirsed. Read more HERE.

Coffee Talk

 I'm mainly an Americano drinker these days -- iced or otherwise -- the definition of which started out spot-on then quickly burned out. Maybe I'm a cross between Americano and Iced Coffee.
