There's a new coffee-and-matcha option on Avenue A.
Lucky Cafe opened on Sunday at 64 Avenue A between Fourth Street and Fifth Street.
The cafe serves coffee, matcha and a selection of baked goods from Brooklyn's Colson Patisserie.
Owner James Phillips (above) and "master barista" Max Vitkus — both East Village residents — are behind the venture.
The space itself has a thoughtfully designed interior, with a warm color palette and a few welcoming extras for now, including chocolate and caramel sauces to top drinks, plus games, books and cozy seating nooks.
For now, hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, though that could shift a bit as the team settles in.
