If you haven’t tried the cold brewed iced coffee yet at Birch (5 East 27th St. at the Gershwin Hotel), we hear you can save 5% by asking for it by it’s formal name, “cold brewed iced gold deliciousness”.
Not a joke people, let’s hear you order it properly.
[BirchIcedSolo] The guys at Birch Coffee (5 East 27th Street at the Gershwin Hotel) have informed me that with the warmer weather, they are doing something most cafes don’t do…they are cold brewing their iced coffee. Most places brew hot coffee and then cool it down before serving, but Birch has found cold brewing to be the optimal way to make it iced.
Supposedly it is “more addicting than crack”. Write in if you try it and let us know how it is.
The local grilled cheese kings at Birch Coffee (5 East 27th Street at the Gershwin Hotel) will be competing nationally as part of the 2010 Grilled Cheese Invitational in California in April.
Birch co-owner Jeremy tells me they will be having loads of grilled cheese tastings throughout March and April so definitely stop by to see what the hype is about.

This Saturday evening at Birch Coffee (7 East 27th Street at the Gershwin Hotel), the crew at Birch will host dinner and a movie.

Birch Coffee looks like it will be opening October 27th, bringing more good coffee to the north of Madison Square Park area (7 East 27th Street at the Gershwin Hotel). In addition to coffee, they will have a menu of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast foods.
They will also host events, such as a daily meditation from noon-1pm, and broadcast music such as the Global DJ Broadcast with Markus Schulz and Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance.
After years of cookie cutter chain coffee shops, Birch shows it has a perspective, shares it with the neighborhood, and looks like it will put the soul back into the neighborhood coffee shop.
