Recreo Coffee Roasterie - Crossing

I’m not a big coffee drinker so I went with one of their really unique teas. I wanted to ask the brand or source but it was INSANELY crowded. I would have left would that not have been even more risky as far as bumping into someone. The place is small and someone had a massive stroller in the center of it and was just talking, because no tables were open, so everyone squished around her and her friends. That’s not the cafes fault, but I wish someone had said something. If I BBC ou I’d have left, I would have. The tea isn’t my fav but it is unique and I’d like to try more! $3.50 for the tea I believe. I think this place is too small for all the toys and such they have in the corner, but it’s a cute idea for sure.

Need a better system of cashier conveying drinks to batista, lots of confusion

I tried this place when it first opened. I LOVE good coffee and was excited a small coffee place opened in our town. I ordered a macciatto my favorite. It was terrible. I spoke with the batista and told him I was disappointed. He made no effort to find out why or offer to re make it. Now 4 years later I decided to try it again. A lovely young woman took our order two small cappuccinos, each with a double shot. My wife had her cappuccino she liked it, not loved it. My cappuccino was basically warm milk even with a double shot I tasted little coffee. This is a tiny place.There was only one other customer in the place. No one asked us how our order was or commented that my cup was mostly full. Still disappointed. Will not return.

Recreo is truly special. I don’t visit nearly as often as I’d like due to my work schedule, but every time I do it’s a highlight in my day. Recreo is known as West Roxbury’s living room and it’s easy to see why. The owners Hector and Miriam have created a welcoming space for all to stop in and connect over coffee from the family farm in Nicaragua. Truly from farm to your cup! The barista team is friendly, knowledgeable and committed to making top quality hand crafted beverages. My favorite is a whole milk latte with an extra shot. I usually enjoy a mixed berry scone or mini blueberry loaf with it. Baked goods are made locally and are always fresh and tasty. There’s also a great selection beans for sale (freshly roasted on site). Eden has given me great suggestions on what to try at home for cold brew!

Incredibly fresh roasted coffee and beans. Great for home espresso and brewing!
