A bag of beans and a dream. The Recess Coffee Company opened in the Westcott neighborhood of Syracuse in 2007 and now sells to hundreds of companies.

We visited the Recess Headquarters and Roastery to see how they roast their coffee locally before distributing it to wholesalers and retailers across many areas of the state.

The company is known for its hot coffee flavors as well as iced coffee and popular vegan selections and desserts.

You can find Recess Coffee products at its two locations downtown and in stores statewide ranging from the North Country to Southern Tier.
