Recreation Coffee

Recreation Coffee is a specialty coffee shop located at 915 E. Washington Street, Suite 1, inside Bloomington Cycle and Fitness in Bloomington, IL, owned by local couple Kristi Hofmann and Austin Arreola — also the owners of Refined Studios barbershop and Rooted Studios plant shop. The shop emphasizes quality and community, sourcing beans from roasters such as Proper, Sirius, and Chicago-based Metric, and using a reverse osmosis water system to optimize every brew. Recreation partners with local vendors like Cannoli’s by Rozana and aims to expand its offerings through additional local business collaborations.
