I love this adorable and cozy coffee shop in Powhatan. I always stop here when family camp a few nights on their way to and from Florida. THIS is a coffee shop. They have a slew of delicious lattes and chais (among many things) but I have a thing for their honey latte. Not too sweet--just divine. The employees are friendly. They are all young--teens and very early twenties so forgive them a little for being distracted here and there. I was looking at all the artisan items for sale before approaching the counter to order. The nice guy at the counter was worried I had been standing there a long time. Nope! All good! read more

Cute coffee shop that stays busy for a reason. The quality of my iced mocha fluctuates, but has been anywhere from okay to very good. Please note that there is an extra charge for almond and oat-milk, but not other non-dairy milks. Have only tasted the maple pecan scone because it is so delicious and must have it. My husband tried the egg and cheese biscuit, but would not get again due to the tiny size for the cost. Wish they were not so busy as inside seating can be a challenge. They post unexpected closings/delayed openings on Facebook. Go check them out! read more

Rise and Grind - Iced oatmilk mocha and a maple pecan scone - Cafes Near Me - Powhatan, Virginia

I like that it's right in the middle of town and easy to get to. I didn't like that when I walked in, not one person greeted me. And there were two people behind the counter, one was casually talking to a male customer/friend. I stood behind him for a minute and walked away to browse even though i realized they were just casually talking. I circled back, he said his goodbyes and finally I was able to order. I got a maple cinnamon latte. It was really good. read more

Great coffee, great food, beautifully decorated, great location. So happy to have this gem close by. They carry Gelati Celesti, the do latte flights, delicious baked goods, and healthy snacks. The vibes are like a beach coffee shop in the middle of central VA. They always love on our toddler who's been coming in with us since he was born. Always friendly and helpful, even when they are super busy. Adding photos of some of our favorite foods but highly recommend the chai latte with oat milk which I didn't get a picture of. read more

Excellent coffee, friendly service. Great fresh vibe. Perfect place for a cuppa in the village!

If you love a local coffee shop, you'll love Rise and Grind. Of course it has great coffee with some signature lattes. The pastries are always freshly made. Lots of fun, local art. And did I mention how they promote local crafts and events? The owners are very personable and get to know folks - new timers and repeaters - like they're are best friends. Highly recommend. read more

Super cute spot. My twin sister loves to go here cause she is in the area. I've only been once since I'm in Richmond but the staff are SOOOO kind and attentive. Always smiling! The vibe of the place is super relaxing and full of happiness. They have several small shop business shelves also inside that you can purchase from which I absolutely love as a small business owner myself! They also make super yummy breakfast sandwiches and coffee! My sis is a matcha queen for here haha. Definitely recommend going! read more

Some of the best açaí bowls ever and their coffee is phenomenal. I love the atmosphere and where it is located. The food comes out quickly and the service is excellent. read more

I don't know how this place could EVER get less than 5 stars, I'd give them 11! Camping for memorial weekend and went in for some coffee because of course. And to start it's ADORABLE on the inside. The girl at the front (I wish I got her name) took my order and I went to get a white mocha and she pointed out that they have a blackberry white mocha so I decided to try it because I've def had orange before once and it was yummy, and Omgosh I'm glad she pointed it out. You get the coffee first with a secondary slow drift of flavor (the blackberry) and I don't even know what else to say, it was delicious. I had my boyfriend try it (to preface this he HATES coffee(I know, what a sociopath, who doesn't love coffee )) but I didn't tell him what it was, I told him it was white mocha with pizazz and he took a sip and made an extremely surprised face. He then kept drinking it and I had to take it away. lol. All in all, just go in. They are warm, welcoming, the place is adorable and clean, AND the coffee is delicious! 1700 stars. Thank you girl at the counter that I didn't get your name! And lady that I talked to about Orange coffee! read more

Rise and Grind - Macaroons - Cafes Near Me - Powhatan, Virginia

I've been here twice and both trips the service was quick and the staff were pleasant. The first time I was with a coworker and we were grabbing a bunch of hot coffees for members of our team and surprisingly enough we were in and out within 10 minutes. My second visit was the other day because I needed an iced coffee for a mid day pick me up. I've only gotten into iced coffee within the last few months and I appreciated how patient and helpful the women who took my order was with me. O settled on the iced caramel macchiato and I loved the fact they had almond milk and almond whipped cream! I didn't have to add any additional sweetener or sugar so it was a double bonus for me. There were a few other people working inside the cafe and another group was ordering pastries while I waited so I'll have to be sure to try those out the next time I stop in. read more

Phenomenal in every way! Before moving to Powhatan we had lots of options for coffee in Midlothian. Here we only need one! Rise and Grind checks all the boxes from ambiance to customer service to delicious coffee and treats. My two year old requests the banana cake all the time and I'm happy to oblige. 10/10. read more

We came in here for some coffee before our walk around Powhatan. The employees who work there is so nice! The coffeehouse is super cute too. I decided to order the chocolate chai which is an autumn special. Delicious. I really tasted the chai but not so much the chocolate. Either way I enjoyed the drink. I also got a snickerdoodle Blondie to go. The Blondie was also super delicious . Such a cute coffee house/bakery! I would def. Come back when I'm in the area read more

This place is the hidden jem of the town! It's cute from the outside and gorgeous inside with ample room for a live music and kids dancing. The best thing is the owner. She is very friendly, very knowledgeable about her products and sociable. Her staff are patient, kind and friendly. If you have an allergy, they will try to accommodate you and point you to the right food to consume. What about the food and drinks? I'm glad I do not live here or else, I'll be here daily to enjoy one of their drinks, pastry or gelato. All are tasty! If you want Starbucks, this place is better. You can have any drinks you want with all sorts of add-on if you like. You don't want cow milk, they have Almond or Oat milk. You have an allergy, they will try to accommodate you. A little hungry, try one of their delicious baked goods. One taste is all you need and you'll be hooked. The lemon bars are smooth, decadent, not too acidic and too sweet, but definitely addictive. You will definitely would want more! If getting the blondie, they can warm it up for you or if you get one for home, zap it a bit so you can enjoy it as if it's fresh out of the oven. There's a lot of chocolate chips so perfect for a chocoholic. Pair it a beverage and your belly will be satisfied. If you are Gluten sensitive, they offer GF and Vegan too. These are moist and not overly sweet. The GF pound cake was smooth. I'm some places, their pound cake feels gritty, dry, sometimes too sweet or bland. I like hers. But what about the vegan cupcake?! Well, I would not suggest just eating the icing. If you do, you'll find it too sweet. You must eat it with the sponge! Yes, you have to because they balance each other out. The cupcake has enough sugar but paired with the icing, you'd enjoy it even more. Don't like the icing, you don't have to eat it. The vegan chocolate chips cookies are not GF. It has a coconut undertone, packed with chocolate chips and big! The sweetness is spot on What else have I tried in a visit? The smoothies, ice match latte with almond milk, and gelato. So much food right? Well, I brought some home and they kept in the car all the way to NC. We were lucky it was a cloudy and coolish day. So my kids got the strawberry-banana smoothie and the mango. They loved it. The matcha latte was not bitter and the sweetness was just right. Last, the gelato is a must on a hot day. It is not like getting one of those pints at the grocery store. I find those overly sweet and not satisfying. Their gelato is creamy, sweetened to perfection, smooth and filled with whatever flavour. For example, the coconut has coconut in it and not just the extract. The coconut is not hard as if added in the last minute. They give a nice texture to the treat. The sorbet is not grainy, too sweet, or eating a frozen juice. It's as smooth as if you are eating a dairy based one. You can add extra topping too if you want and they offer tasting as well. Another excellent thing about this place, they offer reusable cutleries, the spoons are recyclable since they are made of wood. Environmental friendly! So, if you are in the area, come check this place out! You won't be disappointed! The owner and her staff are amazing people. read more

This is a beautiful cafe with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They have tall, open windows that let in a lot of sunlight. And a soft aroma of gentle music that makes you feel at ease. To me, their drinks are very tasty, and they feel more natural and flavorful rather than other cafes I've been to. They also have new drink options for every holiday and season, so I always look forward to trying what's new! The best part is how kind and warm the employees are, especially the owner! They go beyond regular cafes and make sure all their guests are welcomed. Sometimes Jerry will go around to all the tables to check on them and see if they need anything. An awesome gem of a cafe! read more

Rise and Grind - Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino with espresso - Cafes Near Me - Powhatan, Virginia

Visiting my in-laws in Powhatan, we stumbled across this new, chic, and modern coffee shop called Rise and Grind! Judging by the facade, I could tell the food and drinks would be top notch. I was right as I had the maple pecan scone and the holiday drink Peppermint Candy Cane Cold Brew drink. Though the food is delicious here, it's the friendly Guest service that won me over! Here is where I met this super friendly employee named Jerry who I discovered is the co-owner of this coffee shop! He not only made us feel welcome, he treated us like VIPs and made sure our orders were delivered to our table accurately. Because I enjoyed this experience so much, I decided to purchase their hat....to support local business but also as a reminder of my first time experience there! read more
