The Rise Coffee Bar

Nice little spot for a quick coffee. They have a small seating area that looks out onto the street.

FYI: has access to very clean unisex bathrooms

Really great pastry selection, however, the staff seemed to be overworked. I know staffing issues are happening everywhere but based on what I saw the barista was working with only 1 group head. As a barista myself I know that's simply not adequate to keep up with a busy Saturday morning rush. The other barista seemed to be learning on the job and on the brink of a meltdown- and I'm not bashing them- I would've been in the same position. I just hope the staff is taken care of/ paid living wage considering the situation they were working in. I removed a star because management seemed to have failed their staff a little the morning I visited.

I feel so comfy here, awesome vibe, good coffee, and nice baristas :):)

Awesome coffee and great outdoor area that is easy to be socially responsible but enjoy the outdoors

Solid coffee shop, people were kind, coffee was good.

Really loved the atmosphere and the drinks! The almond honey latte was delicious!

Very cute coffee shop! The best lattes in Charleston. Staff was very nice also.

Super cute coffee shop but went downhill from there. Coffee was good but our pastries (chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll) were definitely a day old. Disappointing considering how overpriced they were as well.

Wow- you know coffee’s good when you can drink it black! Great bfast sandwiches. It’s connected to a hotel, and has a lovely quaint courtyard & a cozy library reading room w/ a fireplace right behind it. Can’t wait to come back!

4.00 for a tiny single shot macchiato is ludicrous. And dreadfully sour coffee. Really disappointing. Loved the side garden tables, though.
