Very good customer service, and decent chai. They had a lot more on the me u than I was expecting. Pastries, acai bowls, and breakfast food items were available at the food truck behind the building. I'd visit again for sure!

The wait to order was quite long but I will say it was worth it. The person at the register was nice and accommodating. They were kind and asked specifically what my order was by showing me options. We ordered coffee and food from the food truck in the back. We ordered everything at the front but picked up the food in the back. Iced quad espressos were our coffee order and they were delicious. We also ordered a breakfast burrito with chorizo and pickled jalapeños and it was amazing. Lastly, I ordered the banana splat bowl and the fruit was plentiful and fresh. It was very good. I liked this vibe. There are also picnic tables outside for seating. There were many many folks enjoying the day and their goodies. Surprisingly for as small as the location is, there's a fair amount of parking.

Visited this Rise Up Coffee location after being in the Kent Island area for the weekend. Came here after doing a quick Google search for a local coffee place. The shop is small, but there is some private parking for the place. We came here on a Sunday afternoon, and it was the place to be! Right after we got in line, the line started to snake the whole length of the store. We probably were in and out within 20 minutes of getting in line. We just got coffees, but they had a pretty nice variety of breakfast foods, pastries, and other food items. They seemed a little expensive, but I did not see or try them to give a full review. The coffee menu, in my opinion, was very reasonably priced for the size drinks. Our Cold Brews were gigantic! Sometimes at these local shops, the sizes are so small for the same price, or more. I was pleasantly surprised with this. There was a great selection of flavorings, and they had several options for sugar free flavors as well. The staff members were friendly, and our drinks were out relatively fast once we ordered. I wish we would not have been already making our way home, because the outdoor area seemed like a lovely place to hang out and enjoy your drinks. Loved stopping here, and would for sure recommend this spot to anyone! I hope to visit again next time I am in the area.

Service started out fine- confused what they had as egg sandwich wise- ended up with egg, cheese. Preserved a vanilla latte which was the bomb- smooth and creamy froth on top. The upbeat vibe was fun - the ambiance upbeat- they also had their products on display as well as cute mugs.

I've heard great things about Rise Up Coffee, so of course I had to find a location to finally try them out. I'm more of a tea drinker so I ordered the chai latte with oat milk. I can't say I necessarily loved it but I'll definitely be open to trying their other drinks during future visits. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon and eggs on an English muffin. The sandwich is not made in the store but in a food truck parked behind the store. It tasted really good, so I'll definitely come back and order it again. It was a little pricey but I think it's worth it because of how great it tasted. Service was pretty quick despite it being somewhat busy. I love efficient service! There's not much seating inside so I sat outside on one of the picnic tables, and luckily it was a sunny day!

Great place for a coffee or chat with friends. I enjoyed the rich coffee options here. They don't mess around with coffee at this place and it shows. The iced coffee isn't watered down but nice and strong and delicious. The staff is great as well.

Okay!! I did not know about Rise Up Coffee's mad eggs. My coworker graciously bought me a sausage egg and cheese biscuit l and the buttermilk biscuit is amazing! I assumed i would need grape jelly and i was wrong. The taste of the fresh eggs, the melted cheese, the juicy sausage and that oh so good biscuit was more than enough. I will be stopping by for breakfast more often. I also was given a frozen chai that tasted so good and it cooled me off on such a hot day.

32 ounces of nitro cold brew with a bit of oat milk.

Rise Up Coffee Annapolis is not a gigantic shop. It is long and thin with a front and back entrance. It is located in a shopping plaza and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Because the shop is at the corner of the plaza there are picnic benches at the front, back and side. This gives you lots of options when sitting outdoors. The front window of the shop is filled with an impressive display of various bags of coffee. One inside, the "lobby" has lots of bags of coffee that you can purchase to take home as well as some Rise Up swag. There are some baked goods in a case right by where you order as well as lots of oatmeal containers. After perusing the menu I quickly realized Rise Up gets me. They don't limit your coffee sizes to just 12 or 16 ounces like most places do. Nope, Rise Up has four sizes! Think small (12 ounces), medium (16 ounces), large (24 ounces) and extra large (32 ounces). Sign me up for 32 ounces of nitro cold brew all day, every day. How much will 32 ounces of nitro cold brew set you back? Surprisingly, not as much as you might think. For an extra large with a bit of oat milk, I paid $6.50. I pay that much for half the amount of coffee at some places. The nitro cold brew was super smooth, I loved it. I am a big fan of Rise Up Coffee. They offer humongous amounts of their tasty product without overcharging. The only downside is it's 85 miles from my house to the closest location.

Matcha Latte

I stopped in Annapolis on the way to the beach and decided to get breakfast here via a friend's recommendation. This is a small location, there is a few tables inside and outside. There was a long line but you can order online in advance but because there's so many people were doing this, this actually held up the line of people who came in person. Rise Up Coffee is not allergen friendly unfortunately; my friend with severe peanut allergy was told they can't guarantee no cross contamination of foods so she just ordered a drink here. There are a few parking spots in front of this shop but more on the sides of the parking lot. They have bagels sandwiches as well for around $10 but we didn't order these as I felt they were a bit overpriced. Matcha latte 2.5/5, comes with simple syrup and whole milk without any substitutions, not super matcha-y, generally just a sweet milk with hints of matcha Cappuccino 4/5, my friend ordered this and felt there was not enough foam but the coffee itself was good Cinnamon scone 4/5, my friend ordered this and noted good cinnamon and sugar, a little too sweet, good texture not too crumbly Lavender latte 4/5, two of my friends ordered this and both enjoyed, noted as not too sweet not too bitter, good ratio of lavender to coffee Cinnamon roll 4/5, not cream cheese icing it tastes more like common sugary icing, but it came warmed and was v enjoyable

This is a decent local chain coffee shop. The drink quality is good and better than Starbucks. They offer pastries and seasonal drinks. The seating areas are available inside and outside. Parking can be tight and lines can be long but it moves quickly.

The flavored iced latte I had here was really good. I don't remember the name of the flavor, but it was sweet and creamy. There is seating inside, but most got their coffees to go. The interior is simple and clean. Also the baristas were friendly and helpful.

Chorizo breakfast burrito
Melanie B.

Love, love, love the vibes of this coffee shop! A small place and lines form, but service is efficient. Got drip coffee, tumeric latte and caramel cake lattes. All so delicious! Got the chorizo breakfast burrito and vegan breakfast bowl. The burrito was awesome; I'd recommend getting the burrito over a bowl. The vegan bowl is really all potatoes; tofu was minimal so I wouldn't order this again. We are from out of town and this was our first visit; loved the drinks so much we ventured to the Mayo Road location the very next day. This location is much more spacious so something to keep in mind. Tried the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte here- also delicious.

Rise up burrito...I think I added avocado
Nneka W.

I'm not a huge coffee drinker but Rise Up Coffee Smoothies are amazing! So glad the closest one is about 30 minutes away because I would definitely be hooked. I don't know if its the ice or blender but the texture is perfect, it's called a smoothie for a reason. I love that they have a good amount of flavor options. White chocolate mixed with Irish cream or hazelnut seem to be my favorite so far. Their frozen Chai is decent too. The food never has hit the spot like I've hoped. So far the avocado toast is my favorite...the other options I've tried lack seasoning but the sauces on the side help a little bit. It's normally a healthy amount of people there so I normally don't hang out and enjoy my drink and food. But when I have it was a great environment, especially the way the sun rises and illuminates the room.

Solid local breakfast spot. Great service. Lots of egg options, and basic sweeter options of…read morepancakes, French toast, Belgian waffle, and crepes. We got the western omelette which came with a side of pico. Be warned, that includes fresh jalapeño which my husband enjoyed but would have killed me (ha!). He also added a side pancake instead of potatoes which he said was really good. High praise as he's very picky about his pancakes. I got the Maryland crab omelette which was delicious. The table included a shaker of old bay which was a nice touch. Coffee was decent. We also got one each of their daily special muffins to go (pecan pie and coffee cake) but we haven't eaten them yet. Will def be back if we're ever in this part of town.

I'm happy to report that things haven't changed here since they opened, at least not in a negative…read moreway. My only real complaint is the hours; they're only open to 1pm (1:30pm mostly, but it was shortened by a half hour during the summer, from what the note said). The food continues to be good, your standard breakfast fare mostly. There are dishes beyond that, but it generally fits the brunch mood. The décor is fine; place is always clean, furnishings look well kempt. The service was also great. We arrived around 12:45 and they sat us without any hesitation. (No calls of "well, we're closing soon...") The prices are very affordable, especially compared to similar sit-down establishments. Plus, you shouldn't be leaving hungry! You get what feels like a field's worth of potatoes per order! LOL! This isn't a complaint, more of a note: the location might be hard to see from the road. It's in the same shopping center as the PetSmart, but it's tucked away in the back. If you can see the PetSmart, you're nearly there, just keep looking towards the far end of that little strip of shops. It's in the second building tucked away in the corner. Again, not a complaint, just a heads up. It's a great alternative to fast food greasy food and the other chains of diner-like offerings. Quaint, cozy, and well worth the value for your breakfast buck.
