The inside is small and just an order counter with pour your own coffee on the back counter. There is plenty of outside seating. They recently expanded so if you order drive thru or mad eggs, it is across the street. The service is quick and a baristas are very sweet and good at their jobs I got a skim latte and it was hot, smooth, and everything you want for a craft latte. They make their own beans and you can tell. My husband got a double macchiato and it was made correctly (which for many places is a feat). I will always be visiting rise up and looking for different places that serve their beans!

I got the iced latte with brown sugar cinnamon, and my girlfriend got the iced chai latte. Both of the drinks were delicious. I would say it was one of the best chais I've had so far. The service was very quick and our barista was very nice even told us about some of the decorations on the wall. The pricing was very reasonable as well. We had a great experience.

The coffee menu is robust and brew anything from drip coffee to a vanilla latte. Within minutes, my large vanilla latte was handed to me in a colorful branded to-go cup.

After some perusal, I elected a chocolate mousse slice. It was a resplendent work, with strong chocolate but a mix of flavors including a surprise hit of caramel at the bottom. The ice cream is locally made but I certainly did not have room to try it. There seem to be several local businesses under this general ownership, which gives one a good reason to pull over while traveling through the region.

Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. We came for the ice cream, and it did not disappoint. It was incredibly rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area!

We ordered a latte with oat milk and an iced coffee, and both were just 'okay' - it could have been more strong, and the latte was asked to be 'extra hot', which came out room temperature. Staff could be a bit more friendlier; also, the drinks just take way too long to prepare, even with 3+ staff on shift. There's a good amount of seating, but the surfaces and the furniture needs to be wiped down. I recommend in avoiding using the restroom. A plus was their funny fruit figurines that they had for decor. +unfriendly staff +long wait time for drinks +unkept tables

Unfortunately, we were so excited I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was really good. I got avocado toast which was decent and my husband got the smoked bbq pulled chicken sandwich. My husband loved his. While everything was great, we felt a little mislead from the name. The coffee menu was literally just a sign that said specialty drinks and then it looked like a bar more than a coffee shop. Despite that, we loved it and would happily stop here again. I also asked where the baked goods were from because they looked unique. They were sourced locally from a girl that worked at the restaurant across the street. Definitely stop on here for a local gem.
