    Coffee smoothie with toasted marshmallow
    Kelly L.

    Rise up is top notch! Their coffee is delicious and the coffee smoothie is amazing. No wonder it's what made them famous. The original coffee smoothie (with their homemade whip cream if you're feeling crazy) is my favorite coffee in the world. The shop is the cutest and the baristas are so friendly. Sometimes I bring my dog through the drive thru with me and they say hi to her every time!

    Such a cute little coffee shop right next to the plant nursery! Love the chill vibe, the coffee was amazing, and the barista was super nice. Feels like a hidden spot surrounded by plants. Definitely coming back!

    Medium iced latte with vanilla and cold foam. Perfection.

    Don't know why it took me so long to try this place, but it did not disappoint. Let's start with the drinks. They have a great range of drink menu ideas and you can also buy some beans to take home. I got an iced latte and it was perfection. Not all places make ice lattes right, but this place definitely does. You order at the front and pick up your drinks I around the other side of the counter. Now let's talk food. They have great breakfast items from bowls and burritos to breakfast sandwiches with made from scratch biscuits. You order your food at the register with your drinks, but they have a separate window to pick up your food. Everything is wrapped to go but they have plenty of seating to enjoy there. If you're in a rush they do have already made breakfast sandwiches at the counter that you can grab and go, but it's with English muffins not the biscuits. Do not skip those home made biscuits you will not regret it. We also ordered avocado toast and that was delicious as well. You can choose to add an egg but I enjoyed it without it. Friendly and welcoming staff. This cafe is situated right next to a store with its own entrance that leads to it. Decent amount of parking space but this place does get busy ( for good reason). If you don't have the time to go inside they have a drive thru!

    I've been here a few times and have been meaning to leave a review so here we go! I've been going to this rise up here and there since they've opened. I typically get the Jamaican Iced tea which has an apple pie kind of taste to it and has always been my favorite drink! The people that work there are quick even when it's busy and the fact that it's located right next to the homestead is great because you can walk around and look at everything next door, it creates a nice vibe to the place being located to a store filled with cool trinkets and plants. I got a coffee smoothie this time around and honestly it's really yummy. I saw that they have a chocolate banana coffee smoothie and I think that's what I'm going to try next time!

    Good service, decent food, and great coffee are the hallmarks of all of the Rise Up locations. I like going here for the occasional Açaí bowl, which always has great flavor. Their coffee is always good, and the staff smiling, even for small orders. I'll continue to be a regular at this location, as it is convenient and efficient.

    Sunrise burrito

    Overall great experience! Food does take a while to get so recommend ordering ahead. Me and my fiance got the following: 1. Açaí bowl (0/10) : I would avoid this item all together. The açaí is frozen with not fresh ingredients at all. Very bland. 2. Sun Rise burrito (8/10) : great solid breakfast burrito (had chorizo, eggs, cheese, tater tots and black beans) 3.Cinnamon toast crunch latte (7/10) : really good latte just a little too sweet recommend asking less pumps of what they use.

    Fantastic local coffee place to the MD area. This is a great place to meet up with a friend and sit outside on a nice day. Not a great place to do work as there isn't much corner space. Would recommend. Staff was very friendly.

    Banana Coffee Smoothie
    Carolyn C.

    Drive thru is up and running! Parking has gotten better now that the area has ended construction. There is a lot more room to enter and exit easier. Out of all their 13 locations, this one is most likely my favorite due to the connected garden shop, Savvy Consignments behind Rise, and a local donut shop down the street. Rise Up provides the energy for endless errand runs. Summer weather is here! Go grab a banana coffee smoothie =)

    They have great coffee and amazing service. I will continue to go there. It's better than all the other coffee places around.

    Great coffee with a nice variety of cuisine and sweets. Tried the breakfast sandwiches too. Pretty good. Connected to the Homestead Gardens shop which is really cool.

    Açaí bowl
    Urbashi Z.

    My first time at this rise up location (and second time at rise up overall)! First off, The space is huge which I love unlike the Annapolis location. The coffee is always great at rise up, especially the flavored lattes. My favorite so far is their Irish cream flavor that is seasonal! In terms of food, the sunset burrito was AMAZING especially with their agave siracha sauce (they have so many hot sauce flavors aka my favorite condiment !!). The açaí bowl however was a 0/10 per my fiancé. I had a taste and I agree -- it was essentially a frozen açaí with a topping of fruits and granola. He couldn't even scoop out the açaí as you can see in the picture + it was flavorless. We ended up throwing it away and just eating the fruit. Otherwise I would've given rise up a 5/5!

    Easy drive-through and delicious coffee. I've had their cinnamon roll as well and it was well frosted but not overly sweet.

    02/20/26 5 Stars **…read more Wife and I were in Annapolis for a doctor's appointment, and afterwards she asked, "Where are you taking me for lunch?" I jumped on Yelp and started searching. I had heard about a seafood place in Severna Park, but I wasn't in the mood for seafood. That's when I came across Betty Lou's. As soon as I looked at the food photos, I knew that's where we were headed. It was about a 20 minute ride from Annapolis not bad at all. Betty Lou's is located in a shopping center. There were a few cars in the lot when we pulled up, but I wasn't sure if they were there for the restaurant or other businesses nearby. When we walked in, there was one person sitting at the bar. We asked if we could sit there, and the bartender (don't remember her name) was very pleasant and welcoming. She thanked us for coming in, and when I mentioned I found the place on Yelp, she explained that everything is made fresh to order. They have an excellent selection of craft drinks on the menu, the assortment of cocktails and wines that look very good. My wife ordered an iced tea, and I had the Jimmy Red Old Fashioned. The drink looked fantastic, and she took her time carefully measuring each ingredient. That's how cocktails are supposed to be made balanced and flavorful, not just tasting like straight liquor. If I wanted that, I'd just order bourbon neat. For lunch, my wife ordered the meatloaf with collard greens and roasted potatoes. I had already decided on the chicken pot pie after seeing it online. I did find it a little strange they don't offer mashed potatoes as a side with meatloaf, that would've made it a home run in my opinion. When the food arrived, everything looked excellent. The pot pie was larger than I expected compared to the pictures, and the meatloaf was a generous portion as well. After the first bite, I can honestly say it was one of the best chicken pot pies I've had loaded with tender chicken, carrots, onions, celery, and a rich, flavorful gravy. And the pastry crust? The BEST I've ever had. It was big enough that I had leftovers for dinner. My wife's meatloaf was tender and flavorful, and the collard greens were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The roasted potatoes were just okay again, mashed would've put it over the top but that's just personal preference. She also had plenty leftovers for dinner. The food was great, the décor was nicely done, and the service was excellent. If this place were closer to home, it would definitely be a regular spot for us. We need something like this down in Calvert County. Overall, if you're looking for a great meal and well-crafted drinks, Betty Lou's is absolutely worth the drive even if you live a little ways away.

    This was a solid 5 star experience for us! Elevated comfort food at its finest! My Pasadena…read morefriend wanted to take my hubby and I out for dinner and suggested this place. She had been there for lunch and was quite impressed with it. We are always looking for new, small business type places to dine, so we certainly were game to try it. It's a normal store front in a strip mall, but upon entering, you are transported to a shabby chic sort of country vibe restaurant. My friend had made a reservation, however on a Wednesday night, I am sure we probably could have walked right in. There is a bar with drinks and the vibe is just really warm and cozy. Our waitress came over with water and specials on the menu. Definitely were not rushed in any way. We ordered a pork belly appetizer which was splendid! Really enjoyed it! Very flavorful and cooked correctly, something that a lot of places we go for pork belly seem to not be able to accomplish. All of us ordered something different. One of the other reasons my friend selected this restaurant is that my husband is a recently diagnosed no gluten kind of guy and Betty Lou's has a number of selections that are gluten free. He selected shrimp and grits, my friend got meatloaf and I had a gluten fried chicken. All of them along with the sides were magnificent! I had to have a to go box and I had the rest for lunch the next day. Hubby cleaned his plate and my friend has a very small appetite these days, so I am sure she is still eating on hers. The pricing for the quality and quantity of food I thought was fair. The ambience was really stellar and we were never rushed out. Our server was fantastic! Desserts sounded fantastic, but there was no room. I am really looking forward to going back down to try some other foods soon! Give this a try....it's a Pasadena gem!
