Rise 'N Grind Cafe

One of my fav morning spots, adorable interior and aesthetic. Fantastic wait staff and even cuter side gift shop. Perfect place for bridal/ baby showers. And yes they have vegan options. Online ordering is simple! Oh and always try what’s new for bakery goods, you won’t be disappointed!

Great hometown find on Granville st. for serious coffee lovers. Windsor NC is home and it’s small town lovely. Rise ‘N Grind is a game changer. It will become the first stop after the long trip in and the last stop on the way out. The coffee is worth the new ritual and the service and love felt while ordering tops the foam of the cappuccino!!!! Thanks Rise ‘N Grind crew! I must get a T-shirt when I return.

We went here for breakfast. It was crowded but moving. The food and pastries are the stars at this cute little shop. The coffee was a little too strong for me (I order quad expresso drinks at Starbucks). I think the drinks could be improved on a little bit. We ordered a white mocha expresso drink (hot) and a Chai (cold). The mocha just didn't have a lot of flavor other than the coffee, and the Chai tasted like a cinnamon milkshake. And yet...they still deserve 5 stars. The food was off the hook. We ordered a mini strawberry pastry pie, a cheese dsnish with chunks of apple in the middle, and asiago bagels with sausage, egg, and cheese. We ate every bite. We couldn't stop eating any of it. This was a wonderful breakfast and I highly recommend this cute place next time you are in North East, MD.

With a well designed, stylish and contemporary dining space, the coffee shop is a refreshingly modern place (but very “country” feel) with a broad array of food and drink options to enjoy. Staff is hospitable, service was quick and the sausage, egg & cheese bagel was devious. I enjoyed a chai latte (…a bit too sweet to my liking, but I’m guessing that’s how most enjoy it). Enjoyed breakfast while waiting for my car to get brakes changed at Roger’s Auto. By 10am on a Friday, the place was hopping packed with people!! Will have to come back soon!!

Really cozy setting with lots of people visiting this cafe in the morning. All the workers were happy and excellent at being servers. Food and coffee tasted great!

Amazing coffee and Bagels! We tried Irish cream latte and hot mocha with Jalapeño bagel. Bagel was the yummiest one I have ever had.

My sister brought me here for coffee yesterday. I loved it!!! Great service. Lattes are delicious and a huge selection!! Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Baked goods are fresh and delicious. Don't forget to check out the little shop in the back!!! Definitely plan to visit again soon.

I cannot say enough good things about this cafe. The only downside is that it is 40mins away from where I live, but that won't stop me from visiting!
The atmosphere is open yet cozy and inviting. I went on a Tuesday morning and the place was busy (always a good sign!), but I didn't have to wait long to order or receive my food. All of the staff I interacted with were pleasant with welcoming smiles and helpful demeanors.
My brother and I both ordered the Big Rise Breakfast Sandwich on Everything Bagel. It's huge, so make sure you are hungry. Personally, I could do without the cream cheese since there is so much on the sandwich anyway but that is personal preference. I loved the combo of extra cheese and bacon with a healthy amount of spinach to make me feel slightly less like a glutton when I polished off the whole thing.
On my way out I purchased the last two chocolate croissants to-go and enjoyed one as an afternoon snack. Hands down it was the best chocolate croissant I've ever had. Buttery and rich with a lot of chocolate.
Run, do not walk, to Rise N Grind!! But save me a chocolate croissant, will ya?

Just discovered this gem of a breakfast spot in downtown Rising Sun. We arrived a little after the lunch rush which happened at noon. We ordered breakfast sandwiches on bagels and the bagels were still soft and fresh. I got the Big Rise sandwich, which was fantastic, but I highly recommend napkins, lol. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. We brought our two toddlers who were very happy with their sandwiches and Welcome to the Jungle smoothie. I can't leave a review without mentioning the donuts which were somehow better than the sandwiches. Again, very fresh ingredients and everything screamed homemade. We will certainly be back very soon!

Stopped in for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. Some times it's a little intimidating going into new coffee shops but they were so friendly behind the counter. And the little gift shop is so cute. 10/10 will be returning!
