The Rise Coffee Bar

I love to frequent coffee shops and try new cafes; and I am especially drawn to ones with beautiful outdoor seating. I had been wanting to check out The Rise for a while, as I recently relocated to Charleston, and was so happy I did! I tried a specialty iced coffee and got some work accomplished on my computer; all surrounded by nature and tucked away in a little nook! I will definitely stop there again when I am downtown!

Stopped by with family for pastries, coffee, and tea. I had the Charleston blend tea and it was yummy. It tasted like it had bergamot and vanilla notes. Pastries and coffee were also very good. Seating inside was very limited, although if you were on your own you could probably get a single seat at the window and people watch. We sat in their outside seating area - really beautiful.

Charleston is not exactly a coffee town but Rise is definitely a coffee spot! Great patio to sit on. Great service. And, most importantly, really good coffee!

This coffee shop has a pretty environment and fairly clean. Staff are friendly. The lattes are very good. The espresso is on the acidic side. The coffee shop also has flavored lattes.

If you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up, then look no further then THE RISE. Nestled next to the restoration hotel, and located just slighyy to my west of King St. and the shops, Rise keeps the coffee and espresso flowing. The store itself is small but does have a few chairs for sitting and sipping. However, there is an open courtyard perfect for chatting and sipping. The staff is very friendly and works fast even when the lines get long and they will. ☕️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Always a pleasure to support local, independent coffee shops, and this one doesn't disappoint. I enjoyed my cappuccino and will return another day to try the delicious-looking pastries. Great ambiance and conveniently located near King Street shopping.

After much searching for the best coffee shops in Charleston, we ended up trying out The Rise. We got a Lavender Honey iced latte and a vanilla almond iced latte, which both were very tasty. Cute and cozy interior space as well as additional seating outside on their patio. Will certainly be back when visiting the area again!

Super cute coffee shop with a great outside seating area. Coffee is fast and tasty and the WiFi is fast. Feels just a block off the main drag yet still nice and quiet! Went three days in a row when I was staying in the area.

Had a great time getting coffee at this cute, stylish, and small coffee shop! The Vanilla Almond Latte was a favorite of the group! The staff is very friendly and made our coffees in great time while we took a look at their unique decor and comfortable sitting area.

I love the atmosphere of this coffee shop but the coffee/espresso/cold brew is wayyyy too acidic. I have tried it multiple times and each time I end up throwing away my $7 coffee because I cannot drink it. I used to LOVE their coffee back in 2021, but now I cannot drink it anymore. The bagels are good though.
