This place is absolutely incredible. 7 years in the making and the space overflows with artistic detail.

The intention is to create a space the nurtures community and conversation. Some people For those that do not like this, there's a Starbucks just for you.

As a long time "enjoyer" and participant in the events of Re/creation Cafe' I am thrilled to be able to enjoy the ambience of their location in mid-city. The events that I have most enjoyed include the "Painting under the influence" series which involved groups connecting and painting individual pieces that ultimately came together to show the full beautiful image. And of course the Roller skating events that took place in Hollywood were always an amazing blend of great music and a fun athletic experience. Overall what you can expect from Re/creation events are a great group of people all playing together to accomplish an awesome inspiring goal. Can't wait to see this next chapter take place! read more

These events are great, I attended a co-creation event in Chinatown it was really fun. There was wine, snacks, a live performance, dj and many amazing people. It was a great experience to open up to meeting people. I attended another event that was a live painting, called Her. A nude model and other people paint her in their own style. It was great to see different perspectives of the same person. Both events are really fun and I really miss them. I hope they have more painting events soon. read more
