Got the lil piggy (bacon, egg sausage) on an everything bagel. It was delicious but prefer the exterior of the bagel to be more crispy. I also bought their jalapeno cream cheese. It is a whipped cream cheese that is fantastic (mild to medium heat). There are three tables and a small counter area which weren't very crowded if you want to eat there

I feel like it's impersonal. I like to interact, get recommendations and see all the bagel choices and baked goods! This sandwich was even better than the first! I love the cheddar jalapeño bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. Do yourself a favor and add one of their house made cream cheeses! I ordered the jalapeño cream cheese and it was amazing creamy deliciousness with a little jalapeño kick. It made the sandwich! Absolutely delish! I can only eat half, the sandwiches are so hearty! Cut in half easy to share! Clean and cute bagel shop!

The creekside matcha was decent, good color, not overly sweet. It lacked a little of the oomph I look for in a good matcha, it was a little light on flavor. Still it is rare to find a place that uses real matcha in the area and not just matcha sugar. Service was nice and fast! Really pleasant.

The vibe was relaxed and low-key, making it a good place to sit down and get some work done. I spent some time working while I was there and appreciated having a space where I could focus without feeling rushed. The staff was pleasant, and one of the employees was kind enough to take a picture for me when I asked, which I appreciated. The only thing that stood out to me was that there wasn't much of a greeting or acknowledgment when I walked in, but it wasn't a huge issue. The seating was okay. The chair I chose wasn't the most comfortable for an extended stay, but it got the job done. There was also some rock music playing during my visit, which helped create a casual atmosphere. I didn't order any coffee or food this time around, so I can't speak to the menu yet. This visit was more about finding a place to work and unwind for a bit. Would I come back? Yes. While I'm still searching for my go-to coffee lounge in Syracuse, Recess is definitely a spot I'd visit again. It has a chill, unpretentious vibe that makes it easy to settle in and spend some time there. I forgot to take more pictures will do when I go back.
