Recreo Coffee & Roasterie

I have yet to go wrong with an order at Recreo. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, which is a great energy to have on the main level of City Hall. They offer seasonal favorites, such as an Oreo Latte or Peppermint Mocha, alongside your standard coffee favorites. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I appreciate that they offer dairy-free milk options, which includes oat, silk, and almond milk. The baked goods are also quite delicious. Two of my favorites are the chocolate chip cookie and the coffee cake muffin, definitely recommend if you find yourself in City Hall!

This is the the best coffee shop for miles! It's unpretentious, staffed by good baristas (and occasionally the proprietor) and seriously good coffee. It sources it's beans from the family's farm in Nicaragua and the beans are roasted on site. Can't get fresher than that! The patio around back is a lovely spot. I'm always pleased to support this business.

I've never visited a coffee shop with such warm, friendly, and efficient service. The employees are always in a good mood, and if you're lucky, the owner will be working the cash register and is more than happy to share interesting tidbits about her family's coffee farm. Of course, the coffee tastes great (even the decaf!). Also - the banana snickerdoodle cookies are AMAZING, but they sell out fast, so make sure to stop by in the morning!

Their cafe bon bom is the best espresso I've ever had! Everything from them is excellent!

Get the LEMON GINGER Tea and thank me later ! Great spot!

Love coming to work and seeing Laura And Gabriela there service is Amazing always polite and on their game!!!!

While I didn't get to try their coffee, this review is about the really super nice fellows who work there and what I learned about the coffee shop and their sourced directly from the farm coffee, and not only that, it's a small business based locally in Boston. I was at City Hall to take care of some business and realized that my phone was dying. As I got to the lobby, I noticed this nice coffee shop that wasn't there when I was last there. I took a chance and asked if I might be able to charge my phone and the fellow couldn't be nicer. Unfortunately I couldn't have any more coffee as I already had my morning quota so I didn't get to try it but I became really curious about the company, specially when I found out that it was local. I found out that not only is the company local but that the coffee they serve is sourced directly from the farmer, who is a relation to the owner. I want to make special mention about the person I spoke with, I think his name was Patrick. He was very helpful and informative and really engaged and seems very committed to wha he does. The owners are very lucky to have someone like him working for them!
