Utilizing a coupon I got from another app, I decided to give this place a shot. There is parking in the area, but most of it is paid parking. They were decently busy with a few orders before and after me. I got there Notorious bowl w/ chorizo which came out in about 15 minutes. Perhaps it was the bowl I ordered, but I found it to be a bit too heavy. Many of the parts of the dish were heavily salted, fried, or pickled. So I found that it was missing something that could help balance the dish. Everything tasted pretty good individually but it's still seemed like something was missing as a whole. Overall, I was pretty satisfied for it being a vegan place. I would definitely need to try one of their other dishes to see if it's more to my liking. Staff were nice and it's always cool to be in one of these casual and busy cafeteria like environments to people watch while eating. Will try them again! read more

I can't believe I didn't take a pic of my bowl before I devoured it. Spoiler- it didn't even need the dressing. I order this through UberEats so I did not get a chance to experience the service and ambiance. What I did get was a bowl that puts Cava to shame. I was craving Cava and was looking for something similar. Found Recess was like 10 mins from my job so I took a chance. It did not disappoint. Everything came together well. The chicken was seasoned and juicy. The mix of the kale and the coconut rice was perfection. I did add the picture of my order. Try it ! read more

Healthy and tasty! I've had Recess before but it's been years! Today, I got the build your own kids bowl which was the perfect portion for me. I chose the following options... -base: spring mix & red quinoa -toppings: sweet potatoes and pickled beets -add: shredded chicken + soft boiled egg -sauce: spicy miso vin It really hit the spot! I definitely don't want to let as much time go by before having Recess again! Yum! read more

Recess is a perfect spot for a quick healthy meal that really hits the spot. I had delivery of the Dirty Bird and it was perfection, the amount of food is plentiful and every bit was full of flavor and very filling. I added some avocado for an extra punch and it was excellent. I can't wait to be back in town and go back for more. read more

Came here cause I wanted to go to planta, but it's closed. Decided to try this Recess place. The food was not good at all & I'm a healthy eater. The rice was old, the cauliflower lacked flavor, the dressing was not tasty and there was not enough tofu to warrant the upcharge. Expected a lot, disappointed greatly. Will not return, very much giving 0/10. I honestly want a refund. But I'm let them rock. read more

Recess - My Fair Lady Added Tofu Year of the Tiger My Fair Lady - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

SERVICE: You order at the ONE self-serve kiosk they have. If the people in front of you don't know what they want or don't know how to use the iPad, then it can take awhile. FOOD: $15 SUPERBOWL (+ $4 added SHREDDED CHICKEN): this is labeled as one of their most popular grain bowls so I had to give it a try. I really liked it! The Tahini dressing was WATERY, so thin. That's my only compliant. Everything else tasted great. Minus the dressing because you can barely tell since it's so thinned out. AMBIANCE: There is no where to sit here, you must take it to go and find a seat somewhere in the market. Very little interaction with staff here since it's self-order and they just call out names and hand out the food. read more

Good spot in krog for a healthy dinner or lunch! We got the Notorious PIG! It was super yummy and filling. We actually split it between 2 people so it would be a great meal for leftovers as well. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I had really great service at Recess today and felt it was worth mentioning. I live in the area and eat here often--Recess rarely misses the mark. Today, there was a small hiccup with my order (the meat was missing), but mistakes happen, and what really matters is how a place responds. I emailed them with a few photos, and they responded immediately with a gift card to cover my next meal. That kind of prompt and thoughtful customer service really stands out. I'll definitely keep coming back. It's great to have a neighborhood spot that not only serves good food but also takes care of its customers when things don't go perfectly. read more

Got the Year of the Tiger bowl (with avocado added) today for lunch! It was incredibly flavorful and well seasoned. My favorite component of the bowl was the beet chips. They gave an ample side of sauce to use on the bowl, but I only ended up needing a small amount because it was pretty spicy. The avocado was a bit pricy to add ($2.50 for a small half of an avo), but I understand that prices are increasing everywhere nowadays. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a fresh, healthy, and very filling meal at Krog! read more

When visiting Atlanta, I've eaten at Recess in Krog Market and it reliable, great food and love to build my own entree. This is a must try

This is my go to bowl spot and what I enjoy the most is the consistent and vibrant array of vegetables and flavors! You can't miss with Recess. My Fair Lady is my favorite with an addition of warm sweet potatoes. I order this probably 4x/quarter if not more. You cannot lose at Recess! read more

I love the food here-just don't like that they don't have real people to serve you. I like an interaction vs putting things in a menu like I would for takeout. read more

Initially I was very apprehensive about the food items on this menu, but I am beyond glad I gave it a try. I had food from both Recess & Bar Mercado. I was able to taste the following tapas: cauliflower, yuca fries, & loaded sweet potatoes 10/10 recommend all 3. The flavor is outstanding and the presentation of the food is great. Their frozen strawberry mango margarita was phenomenal and very refreshing. For my entree I had the Pancho & Lefty w/ chicken which was delicious and such a great portion of food. Although I am not from the ATL area I will definitely visit again when I am in town! read more

There were a few options on the menu I was debating between and ended up going with the Winter Is Coming. It was sweeter than your typical grain bowl. It was a nice change of pace. I wish it had a little more sauce or something so it wasn't so dry. But overall it was a tasty meal. read more

While traveling down to the South opens you up to some incredible soul food, after a while, you will find yourself craving vegetables at times. Recess was an incredible find for that. I got the kale caesar salad with additional chicken, charred broccoli, and roasted chickpeas (the best!) The dressing was a little bit thin, but the salad was the perfect balance for what I needed. The ordering is very self-service, but the person who handed off the food was really nice. read more

Incredible find! In ATL for business with a desire to keep it healthy. Yelp pointed the way and it was the perfect find. Generous portions of healthy, delicious food. As a plus, the owner directly assisted me in resolving an issue with the contracted delivery service, who mistakenly delivered the food to the hotel next door. His charisma and assistance alone are worth giving this establishment my business. Add to that, the quality food makes it a no brainer that I'll be placing an order every time I'm in town. Thanks! read more

Very interesting menu. Generous portions. Great service. Good cocktails. Well priced. One star off because the food was really good, not amazing. I'd definitely return. read more

Recess - Harvest Moon salad with chicken, veg plate. - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Did not enjoy my meal at all. Ordered year of the tiger.. The chicken was unseasoned and for almost $5 was not worth the add on. It looked so unappealing I had to give it away. Small portions and overall it was nothing special, the veggies didn't have much flavor either. The restaurant doesn't even give a cup for water and I could tell that customer service was not really valued here. No one takes your order, you have to place the order via the app. There are so many better places at Krog to get food. For over $17 for a small bowl, it's not worth it. Also they will automatically try to add a tip in before you even notice it's there, so be careful when you click confirm order. read more

Recess is my favorite and my go to bowl and salad place. I am a huge salad snob and always prefer to make my own salads to most restaurants but Recess never bores or disappoints me. I consistently find myself being impressed and inspired. 5 stars. read more

I'm a huge fan of the Castellucci restaurants and just realized that Recess was one of their many successful ventures in Krog Street Market (AND Bar Mercado?! CHG going places!). We received some coupons for any CHG restaurant at a recent Yelp event so we decided to make a trip to Recess to try them out! There's a cute bar area you can sit and order drinks, including their frozé! I decided to skip on the drinks, especially since you can only order them if you sit at their bar. The lady at the register recommended the My Farro Lady but I couldn't decide between that and the Super Bowl. The sweet potato caught my eye, but I couldn't stop eyeing the kale pesto on the My Farro Lady. She suggested I order the My Farro Lady with sweet potato, which she allowed for no additional charge! I also added on some salmon because I do like some meat for protein! It is a little pricier that way, but I do know good quality salmon does cost about that much to add to any salad in most places. I loved the My Farro Lady! I liked the kale pesto and I really like farro grains. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Overall, I will definitely need to come back to try the bar menu, but in the meantime, I love the healthy option that Recess offers at Krog Street Market. read more

Whoa this was heaven in my mouth - best part, the food is healthy too! Ordered a salad and sandwich for my friend and me - perfect combo esp. if you love variety too. FYI they are owned by the Castellucci Hospitality Group -- so you know it's going to be good :) HARVEST MOON - $9.50 Kale, charred broccoli, brussels sprouts and pear slaw, citrus red onion, turmeric cabbage, pepita dukkah, turmeric-black pepper vinaigrette ... loved the dressing. This salad was so good, very fresh and all the ingredients complemented well. Portion was great too! HAPPY MIS STEAK - $12 Pulled spice-rubbed beef tri-tip, tomato, avocado, hot tomato jam, arugula, mustard aioli, ciabatta roll ... loved the bread, the ingredients, so good ... but messy too with meat juice dripping down my arm & soaking up my napkins. The taste was worth it though. Next time I'd like to try their vegetable plate, Fallin' in Love bowl and almond date shake. I will be back for sure! FYI - located inside Krog Street Market. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to get some wine and quick bite and sat at the bar. He got a glass of wine and I got the almond date shake. I really liked the shake, it was creamy and not too sweet (and who doesn't love a splash of coffee in their drinks?). My boyfriend got a kids sandwich because he just wanted a small portioned snack. It was half of a PB & J sandwich with seasonal jam and some sweet potato fries. It was simple but delicious! Our server was nice and attentive. I look forward to coming back and trying something else on the menu! read more

I originally placed my order then was called back and they apologized because they were out of that item. They let me know what they would recommend instead. They felt extremely bad. Honestly I think the new thing they recommended was better than what I originally ordered. But I truly loved what i got to eat. Would go back and eat here any time. The Atmosphere: It is in the market, so it is a very busy area The Food: Fantastic The Service: the workers were extremely nice Cleanliness: their counter was very clean Bathrooms: there were large multi stall bathrooms to use in the market Parking: it had a paring lot, it is also right by the beltline, we walked from there Highlights: The food was incredible! read more

came back on Thirsty Thursdays! $20 Craft Margaritas split by 3 has us all Lit at 2pm. Ordering in was so much better than my Take Out experience, would recommend.

Having just come back from vacation where calorie count and healthy eating slipped down on the priority scale, we wanted to go back to healthy eating. Hence, our decision to try Recess. (I was not intending to like what I was about to eat but I knew it would be the wiser choice)... Well, to our surprise, the food was absolutely delicious!!! I have to give credit to our very knowledgeable and sweet lady behind the counter. I got the Bob Barley with a side of beet salad. My spouse got the Mushroom Patty Melt with the sweet potato side. OMG, that mushroom melt tasted like dessert!!! The beet salad had a citrusy kick to it which I really loved!! And the best part was, the meal was so filling that I did not have any desire to walk over to the place next door for cannoli or ice cream. As a matter of fact, we both decided to go back to being vegetarian. You guys brought the TASTY back to vegetarian eating!! read more

I can't remember which bowl a friend and I split but it had rice and it was only okay. The side of Brussels sprouts were fantastic and some of the best I ever had. They had more taste than the bowl. My friend was disappointed and wished he stood by his solid go to which is the my farro lady. The next day I decided to swing by and try it and boy am I glad! It was more tasty the the previous bowl and had a great lemon taste/zest to it! It's definitely a good vegan/vegetarian option!! read more

So I absolutely love this place for a fast healthy meal. I've come three days and a row and ordered the Brussels sprouts, best I've had in my life. No exaggerations. Also my favorite bowl is the Tom Cruise bowl with impossible chorizo. The Brussels sprouts are topped with chili vinaigrette and garlic aioli. The Tom Cruz bowl has coconut rice, black beans, dried corn, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, cabbage and a cashew crema. It's literally all my faves in one bowl. It's a must try. read more

Ya girl has a thing for the harvest moon salad. It's a big delicious bowl of all kinds of goodies including kale, charred broccoli, brussels and pear slaw, citrus red onion, turmeric cabbage, pepita dukkah and tossed in a turmeric-black pepper vinaigrette. I love the tangy crunch of the red onion with all of the yummy greens. It is super tasty, especially with some fresh avocado on top. It's quite filling and more often times than not, it turns into 2 meals (or at least a meal and a snack). Or, if you're feeling nice, you can share. Once you add avocado, this bowl will run you just under $12. They have a variety of bowls and salads to choose from as well as a selection of toasts (choco-hazelnut, anyone?) and sandwiches. This place makes it hard to be unhealthy, so what a welcome option at Krog! Service is always friendly and helpful, and the wait isn't long to receive your order. I love sitting at the bar and people watching in the busy Krog Street Market. read more

Recess - Harvest moon bowl with avocado - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Exciting flavors. Inclusive Menu. Spunky ambience. No lines. So many things to love. Came here with a friend who is vegetarian, and their menu is entirely vegetarian friendly, with the option to add proteins, and many vegan items as well. I got the Honey Bee toast and a side of curried cauliflower. The bread was lovely -- perfectly grainy and thick. The almond butter is relatively mild in taste, so I appreciated the honey on top, and the salt that gave it a fun texture. Cauliflower was also really good -- it is served cold though, as a heads up. I at first thought adding fruit to it would be strange, but I liked the sweet to balance out the savory of the curry. Did not love the celery, but that's just a personal taste thing. The seating is bar seating, but since this is located at Krog Street Market, you can also take it to go and sit at the communal tables. I thought the ambience was so fun and playful with the funky shapes and neon light. Perfect for catching up with friends and casual lunches. Would totally stop by again! read more

Sheeeeeeesh. The meal I had at Recess was SO good it convinced me to post up my FIRST food spot review. I just moved to ATL and have been eating out everyday since I got here as my kitchen stuff hasn't arrived yet unfortunately. Nonetheless, I've been getting a taste of what's hot and what's totally the fuck not around the A. (Ps. Anything On uber eats falls under THE FUCK NOT + have yet to find a good Jamaican spot -- pls help) Anyways, Recess is FIRE. If you fuck with healthy food but also GAF about satiety, this. is. the. place. I got the Super Bowl w/ Salmon as my protein and half a Avocado side. Ayo.....mad fuckin flavorful son. The server was nice. The bar I sat at was cute. Overall a great spot if you hungry but on a health tip + prioritize flavor :-) + worth the prices. Lol. Prolly gone be back there 2-3x a week until my stuff gets here and I have to start cooking again :'(. read more

1st time at Recess with a friend after yelping healthy restaurants in the area. We both had the Superbowl and shared the loaded sweet potato fries. We ate at Krog Street Market and before we left, we both ordered another Superbowl to go. It was THAT good. I've been craving another ever since. If I didn't live 23 miles away, I'd probably try to eat there several times a week. Can't wait to get back. read more

We came straight here from the airport a couple of weeks ago. Love this area, and love this restaurant. We enjoyed brunch at the cute little bar. I included a picture of the Super Bowl I enjoyed.

Recess - Super Bowl plus an avocado half - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Hit or miss. I've gotten the Casablanca bowl a few times and have really enjoyed it. Yesterday I went an hour before they were closing and ordered it again with salmon. The salmon was so small, at first i thought they forgot it. It was less than half the size i had gotten before and i paid $6 for it! The okra barely had color on them so it was basically raw and the bowl overall was bland compared to times before. I think I'll think twice before coming back. read more

This place is just what Krog street Market needed: something with healthy options!! The Superfood Bowl is my favorite!! It's worth adding avocado in my humble opinion. It has quinoa, coconut brown rice, sweet potato, kale, pickled beets, chickpeas, tahini dressing, dried mango, dates. Delicious. Great combination of flavors, and it's vegan and gluten free! Usually bae and I will split one and get some baos from Suzie's so we can feel slightly healthier. read more
