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!

Very good coffee, desserts are meh. Lots of dry treats... nothing impressive. It's a good cozy small place to meet someone but if you want to be dazzled by food I'd say try the place next door.If you're a vegan you won't like the non dairy options.This is a true coffee place, not trying to be mean... Im just used to french style coffee shops (big focus on pastries).

Delicious coffee! The chai is tasty too. Small but cozy atmosphere inside with a lovely outdoor seating area in the back.

They have the best chai I have had so far! I ama chai latte fanatic and I try new coffee shop all the time, but Recreo’s pumpkin chai latte is absolutely delicious It is an order I get every week. I do think the drinks are overpriced but other than that highly

I love this place but it’s entirely too small for the amount of people who want to dine in plus all the baby buggies. I hope they invest in some igloos for the patio so it can be used year-round.

The baristas are always very friendly, and their drinks are typically very good. I really like their lattes. It is a great place to go and do some work if you have the time.

On the weekends I actually look forward to Mondays - so I can go here and get my coffee!The only reason I haven’t left a review earlier is because I know once the word gets out about how amazing this cafe is - I won’t be able to get a seat. This place has everything I could ask for. Cute tables. Cute chairs. Quaint. Sweet baristas. THE BEST coffee ever!

I love to go every day to Recreo Coffee because they have the best fresh muffins, my favorite is the raspberries almond, I always order my muffin with a cup of milk. I love the service and environment specially I love to talk with Eden and see Gaby's receiving friendly service and smile.
This is the best coffee shop that I know from Dedham straight to forest hills. The customer service is incredible, the music, the peace and environment. They don’t only sell coffee they create the environment. I want come back every day! Everything is so clean and organized and the patio is amazing.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free, vegan options and milks alternatives. Also some times vegetarian sandwich.Parking: You can park behind planet fitness or right by the commuter rail.Kid-friendliness: Toys available and special table at the patio to play.
Made this our first stop daily while on a short trip here in West Roxbury. The drinks are fun and delicious (check out the seasonal menu!) and all the baristas are upbeat, kind, and knowledgeable about coffee and the surrounding area. It was busy every morning we came, with lots of people working at the tables and people of all kinds streaming through the door, so glad to know it’s a well loved spot for locals as well. If you can snag a seat, it’s lovely to take in the ambience as well.

This place is the best. The espresso is so smooth and delicious. The baristas are friendly. The back patio is my happy place.Come for the farm to cup coffee, stay for the vibes.Kid-friendliness: Have a little toy area, always filled with families. Navigating strollers inside can be a bit tight though.
