Reviews of Recreo Coffee & Roasterie (Coffee Shop)

Lisa Hillenbrand

Best coffee in Boston! Straight from their family farm. Owners are delightful. Food is delicious. Highly recommend!

Ashley Brede

Great coffee & awesome muffins/scones with a beautiful backyard area in the summer. Since there's an outdoor area to sit we brought our small dog, only to be asked to leave because dogs are not allowed in the back patio. Though there are no signs posted anywhere, and all other customers seemed fine with our dog, it is important to know that they do not allow dogs in their outdoor patio. 4/5 because I love this place. The -1 is for lack of clear signage showing "No dogs allowed".

Alexander Chu

They have a giant Diedrich machine. And it's very warm in here. Good ambience and music.

El Recreo Estate Coffee high quality originates from the high altitude and favorable climate conditions of the farm. At an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, in the coffee region of Jinotega, Nicaragua, El Recreo Estate farm is located in an optimal coffee growing environment.

Ed Geraghty

Outstanding coffee!!!!!

Abigail Henrich

This is my favorite coffee shop for two reasons 1. They are so kind, especially the owners 2. The mission. Buying a cup of coffee directly and POSITIVELY impacts a community in Nicaragua. Fair trade at its best: direct and local

Maureen Larkin

Yummy lattes, friendly staff. Checkout the outdoor patio!

Michael Rogers

Pleasant employees and good coffee

Christopher Strother

Cozy little coffee shop. I enjoyed a lovely Americano this morning. Seating for about 16 on the inside. They have an assortment of beans for sale, along with espresso drinks, iced coffee, drip coffee, pour over, chemex, French press and hot tea as well. Looks like all their coffee is roasted in house, which is fun. There's also a variety of pastries and baked goods available for you.

Bill Lewis

Whenever I’m in town I love to make at least one stop at Recreo. Fantastic coffees, welcoming staff, good neighborhood vibe and the outdoor patio in back is just awesome!

Nicole

Friendly fast service. Hands on ownership with pride in the quality of there product

Hyung Joon Kim

Pretty good. I liked their Mocha coffee

Adam K

Finally an excellent local coffee shop. I love the dark roast, the cold brew and you can get a chemex. People here are awesome too. It has become the coffee I drink at home more often than not as well.

Theresa Cunningham

Great coffee, delicious. croissants and friendly lovely staff.

Noah King

Wonderful place with amazing singke source coffee. If you're picky about your coffee, this is the place to go!

Sue Roulusonis

Great coffee and service!

Patrick Tierney

I feel like Christopher Columbus when he discovered America that first time. Slightly upset that other people were there before me yet still happy to taste and smell what coffee is supposed to be.

Heydi Romero

best coffee☺

Mohamed Badaoui Najjar

Cool coffee shop serving a wide offering of varietals and mixed coffee drinks. Three cold brew was good although it had a lot of char for a cold brew, maybe using a lighter roast may yield a better final product. The chocolate scone wad also good. Once off the freeway selling points of this place is the outside terrace. A must see. Overall a good location.

Susan Kryczka

Family run and great coffee. Very friendly staff.

L.A Kent

Susan Ormont

My Favorite Real Coffee Shop!!

Ayodeji Marquis

Cute shop, strong espressoes

Osnat Netzer

These are my favorite coffee beans in Boston, and I happily make the 50 minute bike ride pilgrimage just to get them! Sipping their coffee in the original cafe and roastery is also a treat.

Matthew Clarke

So happy to have finally stopped in here! Coffee is great, but more importantly it's a family operation. Beans are sourced directly from a family farm. Cozy outdoor seating behind the shop if you head out the door and take a right, then another right down the alley.

Shant Davidian

Best coffeehouse in West Roxbury

Christopher Shanahan

nice

Kathleen McCarthy

Wonderful staff, great coffee and environment!

Patrick Scott

The best coffee I can find in Boston. Totally blows Barrington, Nerro, and Starbucks out of the water. Staff are super friendly there

Daniel Murphy

Great coffee, friendly staff, and a focus in sustainability. I love it!

Mari Katsigianis

The very BEST coffee I have ever tasted. I bring it with me when I travel. I sent a bag to a friend Australia! The owners and staff are lovely people, very friendly and ready to answer your questions. Their Patio is magic!

Amy Meyers

Highly recommend

Lauren Glaser

I appreciated how the beans all come from one coffee farm that the owners have a direct connection to, so you know the coffee farmers are not being taken advantage of! Also, you can get your coffee prepared in many ways: drip, pour over, french press, or even aeropress. The person who worked here who prepared my coffee was very personable and knowledgeable, very willing to share her insights about the various preparation techniques. The only downside is that the cafe is not the most comfortable, though certainly more than adequate for a quick coffee or short meeting.

Sam Schneiderman

Great coffee, teas and food with friendly, attentive service in this non-chain coffee shop. The owners and their help truly care about their customers and it shows. A welcome addition to the West Roxbury coffee shop scene !

Jeffrey Sullivan

Great little shop with their own roaster. Strong emphasis on service.

Maferci17 Rojas

Best coffee in West Roxbury

Fred Oldenburg

Best coffee in Boston, Hands Down!

MiddleSis 808

Perfect cup of coffee. Never bitter. When the weather is nice you can hang out in their little courtyard in the back. And, if you're into that sort of thing, some of the barristas are foam artists. ☕☕☕☕☕

Pamela Sorrell

Good coffee, friendly atmosphere

G. J. P.

Now I am hooked on this best coffee, and it changed my taste buds! Now I cannot go back to my old Dunkin' Donuts habit.

Garth H. McDonald

Linda was very helpful! The coffee was great, atmosphere was amazing, and very reasonable prices. If you a local or visiting like us be sure to stop by.

Elizabeth Kaminga

Always pleasant and efficient service. Coffee is delicious.

Mel Woolf

Great coffee, very knowledgeable.

Mark Seneski

Awesome coffee.

Melissa Mantha

Best decaf coffee beans in the greater Boston area.

Dave Jerome

Great family run coffee shop.

Andrew Jurdan

Wonderful people, wonderful coffee. Ask about the story behind their shop, and remember to check out their back patio during the warmer weather.

Salil Soman

Excellent coffee

Mary Corbet

Possibly the nicest coffee shop around. Phenomenal coffee and the warmest, friendliest staff!

Michael Pickar

Okay, so I'm visiting Boston from out-of-state and thought I would have a decent experience at this place. It turns out I was wrong. The barista (who, honestly, looks like someone who wishes she were a Michael Jackson impersonator but who speaks with a THICK Latinx accent) treated me like an idiot for no justifiable reason and deliberately undercooked my spinach/mushroom/cheese crepe. The iced coffee was fine, and I was impressed that there was agave syrup. However, I think that you should have coconut milk if you have agave syrup. To keep it real, this place is yet another reason why I will NEVER come back to visit. The liquor laws alone pretty much imply: "We didn't really want you here, anyway." But my experience at this place reinforces that even further. Thanks. No, really. Thanks!

Rocky Sonemangkhara

I loved my experience at this coffee shop. Im actually from out of town and something I love doing is supporting independent coffee shops. They actually farm their own coffee beans in Nicaragua and the money they make supports schools back in their homeland. The history is on the walls of the place. The coffee and hospitality is really good too! I met the owner, and she let us try samples of the microlot, because she wanted us to have a good experience. We ended up getting a pour over as suggested by one of the staff and it was very bold. I loved it. The staff looked really happy to be there, so you can tell they're treated well.

Koukla Gee

Fantastic atmosphere. Warm and inviting. Best coffee around!

Ally Spencer

Mel Donovan

great little place with awesome coffee and environment. waiting for patio to reopen.

Nicole Mazzeo

This place has the cutest outdoor patio with a birdbath and blankets and colorful tables. And they made me a mocha cappuccino thing on my request which was delicious. They were super friendly, and the coffee is from a relative's farm in Nicaragua.

Erika Ng

Lovely coffee shop with great product. They have a cute back patio in good weather. The service is nice.

Jordan Scott

John Warren

One of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. They know coffee!

mai telesford

Cozy place

Ann Johnson

This place looks great, but please can you train your staff to be great Baristas... Cappuccino was so hot I could barely drink even after sitting for 5 minutes and bitter. Just want your business to do better.

Eric Vasallo

Wonderful place! Daughter of a coffee plantation owner in Nicaragua. She educated us on all the different nuances in flavor. French press coffee is the best btw! Reminds me of a san francisco coffee shop!!

Regina Dick

Delightful staff and environment and the best coffee I have had in a longtime! I was so impressed! Owners were serving Valentine cookies to children visitors. Congrats on your first year and get ready to grow!

Mike Dee

Super great coffee with a heart supporting a single origin coffee plantation in Nicaragua! Love this place. Awesome pastries too! Give it a try, you won't regret trying the coffee from your soon to be favorite coffee shop!
