Recreo in west roxbury is owned by a family who grows their own beans in Nicaragua. Cool story parents tend to farm and children and grand children roast and sell on center street. They also have used some of their profits to help fund schools in Nicaragua.

Came here to say exactly that! Recreo’s honey hybrid is an absolute winter favorite for us. They also sell gift sets like 3 bags of beans at a discount I believe.

please tell me they have a dark roast, and i mean real dark roast - not the dark roast label on medium roast beans 🙃

Dark roast just blasts all the flavor out of the coffee. Great way to cover up stale or bitter coffee beans, not a great way to experience the flavors of really good coffee.
