Rise Up Annapolis

I've only been here once but I absolutely love it! I got black tea and was able to get as many refills on hot water as I needed. I came early in the morning (around opening) and there wasn't many people there but as time went on (a couple hours) the place started to get crowded. The service was wonderful, very friendly and kind. My only complaint is that parking is kind of confusing, especially in the dark. I look forward to going again tho, for sure!

Remember when coffee used to taste like coffee? That's Rise Up. By a factor of 10, they have the best coffee in the entire Annapolis region. Friendly staff, low prices, delicious food. The acai bowl is absolutely next level.

I absolutely love Rise Up! They're super friendly always and without a doubt have the best coffee drinks in all of the Annapolis area. Their latte, even with the extra shot I have them put in, lacks that bitter aftertaste that the other coffee shops have. Hands down, one of the best coffee house I have ever been to, East or West coast.

Great service, good place to study. Highly recommend the Jamaican tea and the coffee smoothies.

Coffee and hot chocolate were good. Prices on drinks are better than most shops in the area by $0.50 to $1. I had a gluten free cinnamon roll that was surprisingly edible.

Parking is tight right out front but the Melting Pot lot is pretty empty in the morning.

I regularly get my frozen coffee from here during the week and Kelsey and Willie are great. I went today, which is Saturday, and the costumer service was BAD. I waited a long time as I sat there and watched customer after customer who came in after me get their drinks and leave. No one had started my frozen coffee yet so I approached the counter and told the young lady who was making the coffees why my coffee was taking so long and why people who came after me have come and go. She sarcastically says to me ...sorry, that’s the way it goes with frozen drinks. I shared with her my dissatisfaction with that kind of attitude and service and she says to me that I can take it up with the manager who was standing right there the whole time and didn’t say anything. Then a young man starts making my coffee and he does not have gloves on and uses his bare hands to pick up my straw and put it in my cup. I addressed him regarding that and he stated that he was allergic to gloves which I followed up with then use a napkin! I am sharing my experience today in hopes that the owner will see it and address it.

THIS is the coffee shop we've been waiting for!!!!! I like Starbucks, but it feels more like a corporate office. Rise up feels like home! The drinks are delicious and original. The baristas are unusually nice, and I love that! I feel so free to be comfortable in that place. LOVE IT!!!

Emily was super friendly and very helpful when it came to my questions about the vegan options. I got the maple latte with oat milk and the happy cow burrito, it was excellent! I’m going back there for a second day in a row while I’m here on vacation.

This is my new coffee place! I can't believe I haven't come here before. I live in Annapolis and I pass several other coffee places, including Starbucks, to get here. It's worth it. I get an iced caramel latte. Other places I've gone it was too weak. Tasted like all milk. Other places it was too sweer. This is just right!

Love this place! Great coffee and they always give my dogs pup cups 🥰🥰
