Owners, Lexi and Harrison were warm greeters. The coffee was very good, though people asked me later where it was from. I liked seeing some loaves of bread on the shelf behind them.
The croissants and focaccia bread quarter-loaves were over to the right in a small eye level case, so you have to go behind the standing sign (don't even know what it said) to go see the small case of edibles.
I had an almond croissant at $6.50 which was pretty tasty though there were also plain and chocolate croissants. My second choice would have been the cinnamon roll-focaccia bread at even higher price.
With the difficulty parking nearby, and the small baked selection at high prices, I may only go here occasionally!
It was certainly a morning when lots of the 20 year old crowd came out. I wonder if there was spring break that week...though a few of the older generation were also in evidence!
Sorry to not get a shot of the indoor seating, which was adequate for a short time.

Proper artisan baking doesn't come at a low price....but is certainly worth it, especially when it comes with a good welcome!
ReplyDeleteI like the name...Recess....take a break....or Recess...the door is set back 🙂
I hadn't caught the double meaning of recess before. Thanks.
Delete...the name seems appropriate.
ReplyDeleteIt does work doesn't it!
DeleteLooks like a nice coffee house and bakery. Maybe a little pricey? Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI will support it as a local endeavor of course, whenever I have time and funds to do so!! It will be fun to take other friends there.
DeleteYour Recess seems like a bigger operation than our Recess.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what your recess might be, but not being as big as this little business, it must be just a small outfit, certainly not government (like ours which does nothing when not in recess!)
DeleteYou have a lot of options on where to eat there in your town. Looks like a nice place.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is to know which one is closed Sun. Mon. or Tues!
DeleteSpinach Day? Good grief!
ReplyDeleteSo I just bought some baby spinach...for tonight's salad!
DeleteBlack Mountain sure has a lot of nice places to eat! Or drink!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't even go out in the evenings to the various taverns. Glad to partake of the coffee places though!
DeleteFoccacia is one of life's great pleasures.
