Rise Neighborhood Cafe

It's a great little café. I was able to sit and work for a few hours with no issues. Corrina was very helpful and she seemed to be on top of everything from working with customers and making sure things were filled and ready.
I only got a coffee but would still recommend!

I’ve been there a few times and every time it’s something different. Either they turn their oven off an hour before closing. They are closed but the doors are open? Or they are closed with no notice at all. I’ve only had a chance to try their ice coffee. Which was good but disappointing. Neighboring businesses say it’s like they just make up their own hours because they were open until 1 the day before and not even until 11 the next day.

Unfortunately, I can’t rate on quality of food or drink because I was unable to try either. We arrived at about 1:25pm. The sign in front said they were open, online and even their Facebook page says they are open until 2pm, I checked to make sure they hadn’t posted about closing early, they had not. However, when we walked in we were met with a woman who was wiping the counter who told us they were closed, now upsetting as that was I do understand, but she was pretty rude about it.

When I left I double checked everything and there was no mention of closing early, also it’s important to note, there were 6 other people we saw attempting to enter, two inside the hotel, four outside the hotel, all were pulling up their phones to check the closing time.

I can’t imagine how good our service would have been anyway with the woman who was working attitude, but as I said, they definitely were closed before 2pm even though signs were out they were open.

Hopefully, I’ll have a chance to return but doubtful.

The latte I had was not bad. The eggs on my breakfast sandwich were premade and just warmed up. The doughnut I received was prepackaged - it was hard and dry, and tasted like chemicals. Journey down the street a bit for a much better coffee and breakfast sandwich location.

The strawberry smoothies were flavorless. The girl working was slammed and doing her best but the drinks my group had were not good.

EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE! I’m pretty sure my barista’s name was Claire. She’s like the kind of person who makes coffee, but like BETTER than any other barista I’ve ever met. Do you know how when you bite into a cookie baked fresh by your grandma (assuming your grandma is really good at baking) it’s 100 times tastier than that no-love store bought junk. THAT’S what it’s like to get coffee made by Claire. 100 times better. Seriously. Go. Ask for Claire.

Claire is the best barista I have ever seen, heard of, or who has ever existed. I recommend going between 6AM-2PM Friday - Sunday. Tip well even though she gets none bc still training...

Was disappointed since I came at 1:20 and everything was closed, even though websites say it’s open until 2pm. Hopefully I can come back and try again!

Excellent food, great service, plenty of variety on menu.

Good central location; Beautiful building and seating.
