Recreation Coffee — Restaurant in Bloomington

This coffee shop is truly a hidden gem! It’s not super popular yet, but I can see it becoming one of the go-to spots in the future. The atmosphere is amazing—there’s a cozy and comfortable seating area inside that makes it perfect for people who want to relax, read, or even get some work done while enjoying their coffee. What makes it even more unique is that it’s located inside a bicycle shop, which gives the place a cool and creative vibe. Outside, the seating area is just as inviting—perfect for sipping coffee while enjoying some fresh air.

The staff here are absolutely wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. I tried the latte along with sourdough toast for breakfast, and it was such a great start to my morning. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared.

I actually discovered this place thanks to a friend’s recommendation, and I’m so glad I did. I loved every bit of my experience, from the warm service to the relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a comfortable, unique spot to enjoy coffee...

This is written on the one week anniversary of their opening. This stylish coffee shop is a welcome return of a cafe in this location.

Featuring a variety of whole beans from Metric Coffee and Sirius Roasters, teas, and other local goods, the shop has a lot to offer.

The menu has a range of beverages for refined espresso purists and those wanting something sweet. There are a small variety of high quality syrups as well as a collection of milk alternatives. The offerings focus on quality, rather than an endless ranges of flavors. On weekends they feature cannoli made locally in Macomb.

The drinks I ordered today were delicious!

The cafe itself features a variety of seating options, including tables with chairs and cushioned benches with an accessibility-friendly layout.

I’m looking forward to returning and spending more time here...

My second time in since opening, both times the service and quality of drinks has been stellar! Kristi taking orders is helpful with any questions you have. The mood is great for hanging out for a while: quiet, friendly and lowkey. Really fast service if you just need to pop in to grab a drink to go.

Hands down though, the best part about this place is going to be their attention to detail. Austin and his baristas are getting some of the best espresso (Metric coffee from Chicago) and are brewing traditional espresso drinks with excellence.

I had a cortado with coconut milk - the milk foam was spot on! It came with sparkling water on the side and on my tray they included a chocolate! Reminded me of getting espresso abroad in a European cafe.

Alternative milk options are: oat,...
