Recess reviews and discussion

They’re yummy and they’re branding rocks. I wish they had them in France! I would be a good customer.

Bought this at Berkeley Bowl. Was sold on the idea of an adaptogen seltzer and cute packaging. Wasn't fizzy enough for me and tasted fairly unremarkable given how pricey each can was. Didn't do anything mood wise.

I really like Recess! The packaging is what sold me at first and their branding and website are amazing. Now, I typically reach for one when I am needing to unwind after a long day or an intense workout. They have tasty flavors and I love the feeling of the matte can in my hand.

These are the only in many advertised-as-such drinks I’ve had that I think have any sort of calming / mood related effects. Nice flavors, too.

It is a bitter and too ‘weedy’ after taste for me

This stuff tastes so bad. The flavors are not good at all and this brand is wayyyy too overhyped.

Packaging sold me quick to try this at my deli. It's overall nice and fine, and would drink again.

Yummy. Cute packaging. I really like recess for the flavors and drink them often since they are widely available. I don’t know if the ingredients make me feel different, but I still enjoy them when winding down or after a stressful day.

I have only tested a few flavors and I have loved them all! I truly feel a slight difference when I drink these. Strawberry Rose flavor is by far my favorite :)

The brand is very inviting with their packaging. The minimal text is clear, you know what you are getting. I appreciate the interesting yet safe favor choices.

I love Recess. They have wonderful flavors and I always feel calm and relaxed after drinking. I do not like all of their flavors but that is all preference!

From their CBD-infused products, my favorite flavor is "Margarita", followed by Blackberry Chai and Blood Orange. I find these do provide a subtle, relaxing effect. Their Mood line doesn't have CBD, has magnesium and adaptogens, I like these too, for when I don't feel stressed or anxious but would like a little pick me up.

The packaging is cool. The beverages don't taste great, but they do hundo p taste better than Kin! Can't say I felt the mood-boosting, maybe it works for other peeps tho.

Great taste, pricey.

Really want to like this...but the flavor...and price point don't make it worth a purchase. I also didn't notice any particular calming effect which is the main point to justify the price.

I am not sure I felt the kick of the CBD-- but I love the intentionality of the brand.

Ugh love these lil drinks, they make me good, great flavor options

Love the flavors and branding, but the CBD effects from one can were pretty negligible and that's a miss considering the price per can. They were pretty niche and special when they first came out, but now there is such fierce competition.

I like the option for a NA drink that relaxes you. I would say sometimes I feel the effect, sometimes I don't.

I'm not sure that I get the point of these drinks. I guess I've felt calm after drinking a Recess beverage, but I would never go out of my way to buy one. They feel overpriced and frankly kind of silly. All of that being said, the branding is gorgeous, and I've been super impressed by their marketing efforts.
