BLUF: Go check it out, you won't regret it…read more TLDR: OMG I'm so glad I stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop on cozy Main Street in North East, MD. It was just me, so I only got half a dozen donuts with a knife so I could taste them all! I tried: Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, Maple Bacon, Toasted Coconut, Chai, and Fluffernuter. Let me start by saying the cake part of these donuts is just perfect. Not too dense, lightly crisp on the outside, and insanely fresh. The toppings might sound over the top, but they weren't. They were perfectly subtle to add a hint of flavor without a dose of diabetes. And the coffee- such unique lattes both in name and flavors. I went with Davy Joey's Locker with an extra shot of espresso. So good. Not overly sweet and not bitter at all. And then I just had to try the cute little pistachio cannoli. Shell was filled upon ordering, so the shell was nice and crispy. Now this was super sweet, but I haven't met a cannoli yet that wasn't! Barista was friendly & bubbly and patient when it took me some time to pick my 6 donuts. Basic tables and chairs with some bench seating along the window. Pillows & chairs could use a refresh, as well as the bathroom, looking a bit worn & dingy, but that's literally the only negative thing about this place.

The female employees were on it and got us in and out in under five minutes. The place was clean and there was no line as everyone got served in a timely fashion. Today, however, was a different story. We tried to use the drive-thru and the male employee would not serve us over the intercom after we asked for a moment to decide on our order. We parked and headed inside, at which point another car drove up and promptly got assisted. What the hell. Inside, a group of people were waiting for their beverages. We waited a solid five minutes to be greeted and, when we asked to be rung up separately, the male employee made me wait while he finished the other drink before he took my order. Note: he was not alone in the store; the other employee (also male) didn't do squat to help out. Long story short, I get an iced coffee and it tastes absolutely terrible. It's bitter and funky and I toss nearly the entire thing out. What a waste of money. Next time, I'm looking out for the ladies before I decide to get my Dunkin on.

Compare it with teavana and you'll be embarrassed by how much you've been ripped off. Never had any of the whole spices there but they look as they should and are reasonably priced. I did go in one day looking for grains of paradise but they didn't carry this very obscure spice, but I can't blame them. I am an avid tea drinker and have always been treated like royalty in the store, even though I'm from out of town, I drive in when my tea's are getting low. Try the Formosa Oolong!

Lovely cafe and shop to buy coffee beans…read more One suggestion: Your sign out front has an incorrect website address.. The correct one (as I assume you should know, since its yours) is http://www.beansleavesetcshop.com, not http://www.beansleavesetc.com. I put in a request here on Yelp to correct it, but the actual sign will need to be updated to avoid confusing customers (like me). Also, the website doesn't list your hours, and the information here on Yelp is obviously incorrect.

The scoops are normal sized, not 'industrial American' sized, which is fine, and it will cost a bit more since it's home made, which is fine, but they play it safe with the flavors.

Service was good and the shop has plenty of seating inside.

Continuing alphabet series representing 2022, R is for Rise n Grind Cafe. So, my last review I…read morejust wrote was in Easton, MD. I was checking the longitudes of both places, and the Easton restaurant was slightly east of this Rising Sun coffee shop. As it turns out and amazing coincidence, I just wrote my 2 most eastern Yelp reviews in the state of MD. Never had one further east of these locations in MD like in Elkton, Ocean City, Salisbury, etc. I visited Rise N Grind Cafe on a Friday in September 2022. I was going up to Newark, DE to visit my parents for a night at a hotel for a mushroom festival in Kennett Township on that Saturday. I managed to get a parallel parking right in front of the store in the small downtown Rising Sun. I wifi at this cute coffee shop as I had some work on that Friday. I had a delicious coffee, and I think a tuna salad sandwich, which was delicious. The staff was friendly too, and they were efficient. I comfortably got my work done. Unfortunately, I didn't take a pic of my food, but I took pics of other aspects of the cafe itself. If I ever end up back in Rising Sun, I'd come back here!
