    Coffee or tea in a place most people wouldn't think is a college town - 1 of 2 This coffeehouse, Rise and Grind, came up on a search when I was in this immediate area. I chuckle at all the names coffeehouses come up with that have the word grind or ground in them. It's a lot like how places that cut hair seem to work in the word(s) sheer and/or shear. The college here is private Baldwin-Wallace University which may have had a religious denomination closer to its founding, but, at this juncture, appears to be more secular. It's actually a few miles east of Rise and Grind, closer to the older town center, and offers instruction in a broader range of fields than one might expect. I saw that this coffeehouse got very good reviews and, with its big parking lot near a major gym, I thought I'd take a look. Parking was easy and, upon entering, one sees it's both a physically and personally welcoming place. The store is lengthy, so one can sit in the front half or the back half, which is more suitable for larger groups, but I chose the table I selected for its proximity to outlets and the counter. On what was a warmer day, I opted for iced tea and an orange frosted donut. The brand of unsweetened iced tea was very good and the orange donut was delicious. I could have eaten another one. Beyond chocolate donuts, this is probably my favorite flavor and one doesn't often come across orange frosted donuts. The service was very amicable. The prices are in line with what others running independent coffeehouses would charge. In fact, I'm starting to like independent coffeehouses more and more for a multitude of reasons, one being that they now handily compete with the chains and have more character. Rise and Grind falls in between 4 and 5 stars, but it tilts to 5 stars because of the tidiness and pleasing ambiance of the store, the apparent vibe that this is a labor of love for the proprietors, and even for having that orange frosted donut.

    I hate to admit it, but I was so skeptical of this place and all their 5 star reviews here and Google. Usually that's not a good sign & the reviews are fixed. BUT !!! I recently visited here and I thought it was definitely worth the 5 stars! I came on a Friday morning, and there was no line. There's a parking lot, which is always helpful. Lots of fun drink combinations. I can't remember which latte I ended up going with, but it was sooooo good!!! The sizes are huge though, so just a heads up! There were some food choices. Seemed like healthy options and some pastries. I would have loved a breakfast sandwich without a meat option, but they all seemed to have meat on them. I could have asked for a custom sandwhich, but our barista wasn't very friendly. Not rude or anything!!! Just didn't smile or say hi. Just stared at us. Not a big deal, just not very welcoming! (Maybe she hadn't had her own coffee yet haha). There were lots of different seating options all decorated differently. Lots of different styles, but seemed like an overall safari theme, maybe. (I was obsessed with that cute little elephant and I want one!!!) On the way out, the guy who was working was super friendly to us! Seemed very kind and personable. He made me smile! Overall, I would definitely come back ! I really enjoyed it here !

    I met friends for coffee on a Sunday morning. Rise and Grind had a study flow of customer around 10:30a. The decor is very attractive and cozy. There are several places to sit whether you want to enjoy your coffee alone or with a friend. They did not have vegan options other than alternative milks. I was having my drink in the establishment and ask for a mug. They only serve coffee in to go cups. For me if you are choosing to sit and enjoy a coffee a to go cup takes away from the experience. After I left the counter I could hear the people behind the counter discussing why they do not offer mugs. The coffee was good.

    Our favorite coffee shop in the area. They always have the best specials that are so GOOD! And we can never forget the pup cup!!!

    Highly recommended for those in search of a quality coffee experience in a laid-back setting. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee to go or settling in for a few hours, Rise & Grind offers everything you need for a satisfying visit. Plus, knowing it's a veteran-owned business adds even more reason to support this local gem. As a veteran-owned business, Rise & Grind brings an added layer of community support and pride. You can feel good about spending your money at a cafe that not only serves great coffee, bakery, and ice cream - but also supports the men and women who have served our country.

    The owners were so sweet! Nurse owned, makes my heart full Amazing coffee and food was good. Pricing was good as well. Cute atmosphere and decorated for valentine's day :)

    Pricy, big portions, good flavors…read more Wanted to try something a bit fancy while out and about in Ohio. This place came out as a local crepe place, and that sounded good to me. Inside is very spacious, homey but modern. There was a lot to consider, but they advertised as a crepe place so I opted for a savory and sweet crepe plus a croissant to go. Plus some macaroons because why not? Got to watch my crepes come to life, and food got dropped relatively quickly. Took pics and dug in. The crepes were fairly large and had pronounced flavors. The Paris crepe was citrusy and sugary in the right ways. The whipped cream was of low quality though, leave a film on top of the pallet and the propellant was bitter which makes the whipped cream taste cheap and out of a can. The savory crepe was odd. The presentation made it look like a sweet crepe, but it was balsamic glaze. It worked with the filling but threw off my expectations. It was funky, cheesy, and very savory. Needed a little salt to help make the cheese flavor pop. The croissants are gigantic. Did not expect as big of one for the price. Was suppose to be pistachio flavored cream but it was more almond flavored. Think they tried to use extract and lost the flavor with the sweet. The macaroons were okay, little crumbly and also lacked flavor. Not bad, but not with the price. Everything came out to about 45 bucks, so a bit pricy but the portions were large. I would expect a bit more punch in flavors for the money, but it wasn't too bad given the size. It's good crepes, and great portions. Needs better quality control on their flavors but if they can fine tune that then this would be an easy recommendation. Right now, it's fun to try but might be not to everyone's taste

    Was in the neighborhood when my girls noticed this cute crepe restaurant. It so happened that we…read morehadn't had lunch yet so they decided that's where we're gonna have to eat. You place your order at the counter and they bring your food and drinks to your table. We got a maple bacon crepe, crème brûlée crepe, kid's crepe, and I had to try the Dubai chocolate latte. My older daughter and I halfed each of the savory and sweet crepes so we each got to try both, while my younger daughter had the kid crepe all to herself. Overall, we thought the crepes were good - we enjoyed it, but nothing spectacular. However, I think I enjoyed my Dubai chocolate latte more than the crepes. They had some interesting drinks on the menu and I'd like to go back and try some of their other coffee creations.
