Kross Coffee Roasters

if you've got a morning to yourself and no particular reason to rush, vriaxidos street in mετς is the kind of quiet athens backstreet that makes that feeling last. kross coffee roasters sits at number 23, in a neighbourhood that locals tend to treat as their own rather than a destination for anyone passing through. that matters, because the people who end up here aren't usually passing through either. they come back. the standing this place has built up among its regulars isn't loud or self-promotional, it's just consistent, and in specialty coffee that consistency is harder to maintain than it looks. you don't need a reason to go other than wanting a decent cortado in the kind of calm that mετς actually delivers. start with that.
