Recreo Coffee and Roasterie

With a mission of bringing people together, Recreo Coffee and Roasterie sustainably grows and harvests their single-origin coffee in Nicaragua and roasts it locally in West Roxbury. This Centre Street cafe, which opened in 2015, serves as the living room of West Roxbury. The beautiful exposed brick walls and ample seating create a relaxing backdrop for enjoying what’s in your cup. During your next visit, try a popular cold brew and buy some beans to brew hot at home. 

J. P. Licks

Proudly roasting their own coffee since 1999, J.P. Licks cares about great-tasting coffee and espresso. Their fresh, micro-roasted organic fair trade coffee is served up daily and available for purchase in one and five-pound bags. Beyond the beans, they also offer tasty cakes, pies, and treats. Other dessert options also include their delicious ice cream or frozen yogurt.
