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!

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.

Holy muffin Batman! 6 bucks for a muffin? Way too expensive…read more I bought a blueberry muffin . I hate peeling a muffin from a paper muffin wrapper which this had... why not bake in pan without wrappers and save wrappers costs?

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.

The lavender foam was just delicious. The kale and mushroom bites were tasty but somehow just not very filling. What could have gone better was the pesto egg sandwich which was dunked in salt. I'm pretty sure something went wrong with the pre-made sandwich but it literally felt like it had been scrubbed with salt. The staff was nice enough to replace it for me with another of the kale and mushroom bites.

I find that somewhat rare nowadays. He also read back my order to confirm how I wanted my iced coffee, which was great for accuracy. Anyway, a normal Starbucks drink pick up day turned much better because of his wonderful customer service! Will come back again :)

It was a few minutes before 1PM and most of their baked goods were sold out which is a good sign especially on a random weekday. I am a sucker for Orange flavored pastries and baked goods so immediately went for the Orange Ricotta Cake and it was moist and lightly sweetened, although it could've had a bit more Orange and a bit bigger considering it's about $6 (before tip). The folks working were super kind so I would come back again if I happen to be in the JP area.

Would recommend for a snack or they offer various cakes and other sweets for catering or celebration.
