What a great place in the area for coffee and pastries! I…read morerecently moved to the area and have loved trying everything in the area. I've eyed Recreo for a while and stopped in with a friend to visit, and we were so impressed! We got a pumpkin latte and a lavender matcha, the latter of which is on their summer menu. They knocked both out of the park - so flavorful and delicious! We both tend to prefer sweeter drinks, but we had a perfect balance of flavor with our coffee/matcha. My friend also got a mixed berry scone, which was solid as well but he found it to be a little dry. I would definitely look forward to trying a pastry in the future - I was eyeing their cookies, but wasn't feeling it that morning. I am so happy I live so close and will definitely be back! The baristas were all so kind and personable - in addition to making great drinks, they truly connected with each customer and everyone seemed so happy to be there. We sat inside with all the pollen outside, but the outdoor patio nearby was ADORABLE. Makes sense that it was full when we got there!

The one with the apple slaw is pretty good too. Not my favorite spot for breakfast sandwiches - but Love all the lunch sammies. The specialty drinks are always good. I just trust them and order whatever the seasonal special is. They carry Mocha Joes coffee from Brattleboro Vermont!!!! (I am always enthusiastic about Brattleboro). The staff is always great, even with a crowd. There is parking in a municipal lot kitty corner across the streets from Big Bear. Get a coffee and then enjoy a matinee down the street at Dedham Community theater or check out the historical society. Dedham is so cute.

We waited in line for about 15 minutes just to order, only to be told it would take another 35-40 minutes to get two toasted bagels with cream cheese--which felt excessive. Because of the long wait, we ended up ordering an éclair and an apple cinnamon muffin instead--items that were ready right away. Both were tasty, but not enough to make up for the overall experience. The space itself is cute and inviting, but it could really use more seating and a better setup for handling takeout orders. It also seems like they may be understaffed for the volume of weekend customers they get. We likely wouldn't return on a weekend, as the wait just isn't worth it despite the good food.

The staff were super friendly and attentive, and there's a great variety of drinks and pastries. I'll definitely be back. So glad my friend recommended it.

We were a bit disappointed because some pieces tasted stale while others were delicious. For their expensive price point, they all should've been perfect. My favorite was their nougatine, and my least favorite was the almond bark. The main reason I'm giving them a higher rating is because their hot chocolate is so rich + dreamy. Will def need to come back this winter to get it again, but would skip the bonbons next time.

It was tricky finding parking but we ended up parking in the nearby Roche Brothers grocery store, since we had to pick up some pastries there anyhow. The place was cute, well-lit, medium sized, with lots of natural light through the windows, and spotless clean. It was also empty of customers. We were so surprised that this the staff were slowly closing up shop, storing the foods and cleaning up behind the counter. (I guess they close at 8pm on Sundays). It seemed so early! And it was so light and nice out! The two gals behind the counter were super nice and the made our drinks well, and accommodated my prickly aunt who was unfamiliar with all things Starbucks. We love Starbucks! We would have stayed and gotten snacks here but for their shortened hours.

I'm pretty sure something went wrong with the pre-made sandwich but it literally felt like it had been scrubbed with salt.
