Believing in the power of Specialty Coffee.

What we value

We express Specialty Coffee through our unique multiplication formula

“Meticulously selected ingredients,” “refined roasting and brewing techniques,” and “service that truly satisfies.”
The multiplication of these three elements is REC's equation for specialty coffee.
All the way from communicating with producers and sourcing green coffee, to in store roasting, brewing and serving, and conversations with customers - We are meticulous about every single process. Nothing can be overlooked.

We will continue being the coffee shop where anyone can naturally encounter Specialty Coffee

A place where anyone can encounter specialty coffee without having to go somewhere out of the ordinary. A specialty shop that's anything but complicated, a place where fondness for specialty coffee grows naturally. We strive to create a friendly down-to-earth environment. Whether it be our physical store or online shop, approachable and welcoming. REC blends seamlessly into everyday life.

Our baristas continuously hone their craft to bring shape to the infinite possibilities of coffee

World-class barista technique is at the origin of REC’s beginnings. There is no mistake in saying espresso technique is the foundation of our delicious coffee at REC. But our baristas do not stop there. They master not only espresso but hand-drip brewing techniques as well. Unbound by the industry’s standard definition of barista=espresso, they believe in the infinite possibilities of coffee and continue to sharpen their skills. For REC's baristas, reaching a goal is not the end.

We will accompany our customers in their lives

Through the good times and hard times, through personal or professional changes, we will be there walking right with you.
As a shop always at your side to tell you about the rich world of coffee. Whether its the day you discover specialty coffee or the day that you fall in love with it more, we will be there, neither too close or too far.
With a cup of coffee in hand, REC will accompany you in this story called LIFE.

TEAM REC works together to bring smiles to our customers

The high level of our team is the motivation that drives REC forward. Each staff member takes pride in their work, fostering a mutual growth in professional excellence. This continuous relay of passion for coffee ultimately leads to the smiles on our customers' faces. That's why REC spares no hesitation in investing in systems like structured education and strengthening our team for the future.
