It has a reasonably sized parking lot which leads into an entry way full of plants before you enter into the cozy seating area and counter for ordering. They have a refridgerated section for baked goods, especially worth noting is their wide selection of keto cookies, cupcakes, and other "sweets" They have coffee and tea in a lot of different forms as well as lunch and breakfast sandwiches. I got the keto bagel which was good, but the egg was definitely overcooked to the point of being reminiscent of a hard boiled egg with a yolk that's gone green. Staff was friendly, service was fast, and overall I enjoyed my visit. They have a few shelves of crafts to shop while you wait for your food and it's overall a welcoming place to browse or stay and drink your drinks and eat your food

The young lady behind the counter appeared to be working alone and was struggling to keep up. It took about ten minutes to get a latte which tasted pretty darn good however when dining in, I prefer a real cup and saucer instead of a cheap carboard cup ..I did ask for one and was told they are not available... and for a $6 cup of coffee I think they should be.

They have a ton of flavor shots to choose from which made the choices hard, but I went with my go to caramel latte which I loved. It was more bitter than sweet, but I love the taste of strong coffee so I enjoyed it. My boyfriend got a hot americano and loved it. The most important review is from my mom who got a hot spiced brown sugar latte: she never gets any flavors because she thinks they're too much but she LOVED this latte. They have a ton or pastry choices as well and a soup of the day! Definitely a great place to hangout and drink strong coffee.

They also have a little gift shop area with merch, candles, etc and also all very cute. The place is very open and clean and lots of potential for some cute decor. We took our drinks to Chittenango Falls and it was the perfect little spot!

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.

The shop is a small space and there were quite a few people either working or meeting up with a friend. I glanced over their summer drink menu and went with the maple miso matcha latte with almond milk. I decided to work remotely in the shop myself. It's pretty modern and chic inside and very friendly service. The matcha was a bit too milk forward for my liking where the matcha almost disappeared. The miso maple flavor however was pretty good and had a slight salty/nutty sweetness that I wish would've brought the matcha flavor out more. The person next to me ordered a breakfast burrito that looked amazing. So maybe that's definitely worth trying out!
