Love coming here for my morning breakfast and coffee. The coffee is amazing sometimes I splurge and get an iced chai tea as well! Love their avocado toast with egg also! read more

Rise Up Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

I received four (for a total of $50.00) Rise Up Coffee gift cards that had been purchased at the Arnold location. When I tried to use them at the Severna Park store, I found that they had already been depleted. The employees there looked into it, confirmed there was an issue, and suggested I contact Rise Up customer service. I took pictures and sent the exact card pictures to the email website as directed. Also, it takes them a good minute to respond to an email just an fyi. After reaching out, I was told their records showed a zero balance, but no meaningful explanation or resolution was offered. What makes this especially concerning is that all four cards appeared to have gone from their full value directly to a zero balance, rather than being used gradually for coffee purchases. That seems unusual and left me wondering what happened. I appreciate the helpful staff at the Severna Park location, but I was disappointed that customer service didn't investigate further or offer any assistance. I hope Rise Up reviews its gift card processes and does more to help customers in situations like this. I should add that they suggested for me to go and ask the person I received the gift cards from which was students...I am NOT going around guessing which students/their parents about a past gift cards. I won't be recommending gift cards from Rise Up and will be honest about this place so my coworkers are aware not to put this as a favorite for a gift or treat! read more

I have determined that the chorizo breakfast burrito is the best in the state of MD. So good. I order mine without avocado. Perfection every time. read more

Not a place to get espresso drinks. Usually cold brew is good but recently the one i had came out like Water. Seems like a lot of new staff right now. i liked this place a lot a while ago for the people but it appears the quality continues to slip over time. read more

I really love coming here. It's a little bit on the pricey end of the spectrum for coffee, but the staff is super friendly and on top of things. They brew their own coffee and have pastries from local shops (shout out to local legend Carlson's Donuts) and even have a solid selection of sandwiches for lunch or breakfast. I opted for a cinnamon bun to go with my iced latte because I had a little sweet tooth -- it hit the spot. On the downside, if you go to this location, there's limited seating and the wait for coffee can be pretty intense during morning rushes or the weekends. Took like 15 minutes for a cappuccino and an iced latte... not a total dealbreaker given the quality of service and the fact that it's a homegrown business, but still a little annoying especially if you're in a rush... still thousands of times better than Starbucks. read more

What happened to my favorite baristas? I saw one of them at the Severna store and was told they got let go without reason? want to know why so many people got fired and let go recently! no one here has been there for more than a year. No longer feels like a local shop, feels franchisey. At this point i'd rather take my business to starbucks. where are my baristas? these aren't my baristas! won't be coming back. Also, what's up with all the AI art being used for their marketing? gross! come on Rise Up, do better! - A loyal customer since 2022 (now going to Starbucks...) super disappointed, no longer my local coffee shop. read more

I've ordered here a handful of times whenever I'm in the area. My coffee of choice is a medium french vanilla iced latte. I've tried their burritos, breakfast sandwiches, tots, and breakfast potatoes. The burritos are hearty. They definitely don't skimp out on the fixings inside. My favorites are the local burrito and the Rise Up burrito. I enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, but prefer to get it on bread other than their biscuit. I'm not a fan of their biscuits (or biscuits in general). The breakfast potatoes are decent. I love their tots, and you can customize them with sauces and/or meats if you're feeling spunky. I like that you're able to customize (add and leave out) your item to get exactly what you want. You are charged extra for add-ons. I deducted a star because there have been several times where something has been left out of my order or something is wrong with my order. I usually order online and take it home, so I don't know something is wrong until later. I've had the flavoring left out of my coffee (twice), the wrong bread on my sandwich, avocado and other items that cost extra left out of my burrito or sandwich. The staff is always welcoming and friendly whenever I'm in. The sandwiches and burritos can get pricey if you add on items, but everything is made to order and fresh. I usually order online for pickup inside. Pickup orders are on the back counter. When the store gets crowded, people tend to stand in front of the pick up counter, so you'll have to ask them to move out of the way to see the names on the bags. When you order online, you accrue points for various free items or add ons. One thing I did want to note is that tipping is mandatory when ordering through their website (or at least it has been for me). You can chose the percentage you want to leave, but there's no way to un-click the tip option. I prefer to tip in cash when I go to pick up my orders, but through the website is fine as well. I just wanted to mention it. The only negative for carryout is that the food sweats in the containers they use, so by the time you get to your destination, your food can be soggy and stick to the paper they use. Overall, I enjoy their food and customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I'm in the area again. read more

Was visiting with some friends in the area and mentioned I was going to get some coffee from Starbucks and they quickly redirected me to Rise Up. It was my first time being there and it was a really nice and inviting space. The staff were really friendly and answered all my questions. I got an Iced Latte for myself and picked up a Frozen Chai for my friend. The latte was good and next time I am in the area I will try one of their other drinks. read more

This is one of the smaller locations for Rise Up. So yes, at times there is a line, but it is WELL worth the wait. All items at Rise Up taste amazing, however, if this is your first time visiting or if you have not yet tried the Coffee Smoothie, DO IT. It is literally the drink that made Rise Up famous. Please do yourself a favor and ADD A BANANA. The frozen chai is also a great go-to option but I like to make mine a dirty version (two shots of espresso). Must try food items would be the Happy Cow Burrito (vegan), the breakfast sandwich and the acai bowl. I am displeased with the complaints below from fellow Yelpers on service. For someone who has been a customer here for three years, I have NEVER had a bad experience. Not once. Each and every day I visit, staff members are smiling, happy and kind. They ask the right questions at the cash wrap and are even willing to remake anything that doesn't taste up to your standards. So DON'T you dare complain if you're to much of a whimp to ask for something to be fixed--THEY AREN'T MIND READERS. Get ahold of yourself and get caffeinated. #eyeroll read more

The ambience, service, and coffee were amazing. Stopped at Highs to get coffee and I asked if they had a non-dairy creamer (as it is 2024) and the cashier said, "Go to Rise Up," (a mile away). Glad I did! read more

The food is fresh and delicious, the coffee is always fresh and literally amazing! You can't get any better around the Arnold area. Service is amazing! They are all so friendly and welcoming and just make such a nice atmosphere. Very accepting and kind and amazing people. read more

I visit her a few times a week. THe coffee and ambiance is good. Staff attentive and quick even during high volume periods. My one pet peeve is staff ( Annapolis Town Center ) location continues to allow dogs of all types into the store. I saw an older lady very petite come in with a pitbull and seem to have a very tenuous hold on the animal. A Saturdays ago, a lady had a dog in a carry-all that she eventually took out and placed on the bench allowing the dog to lick food off the table. When the couple moved outside, no attempt was made to wipe the table down. Shortly after, another group sat at the table and proceeded to put their food on it. This afternoon, a lady came in with a big beautiful dog who proceeded to shake and wiggle releasing a crap ton of dog hair. Not everyone is UNAFRAID of dogs. Animals carry germs and diseases and some of us are allergic!! A sign that dogs are not allowed is should be considered. Maryland code allow for service and emotional support dogs in food establishments and I don't think you comply. Please create a dog post for customers to attach dogs to OUTSIDE. A grateful customer. read more

If this place is dead you can pop in and get a cup of coffee in a reasonable amount of time. When certain members of the staff are working you will have to wait until all the sidebar conversations run there course behind the counter. The clerk will make small talk behind the register w a customer, totally fine totally professional, but several of the other employees will overhear comments and get distracted and jump in on the conversation. When you're fifth or sixth in line watching this over and over again as time ticks by you gotta ask if the juice is worth the squeeze. Is the coffee that's expensive worth the wait they create on busier distracted days. Sounds petty but it's been the same experience so many times I felt compelled to finally comment on it. I like the hot sauces they sell here. read more

This place was absolutely awesome. I didn't expect much from their açaí bowl but it was probably the best one I have ever had. I can't wait to go back and get another one. My partner loves açaí bowls and I really hope he's impressed. read more

I know it's a coffee shop but you would think with BayDel gone they could up their breakfast sandwiches the bead sucks

Really enjoyed my iced white chocolate mocha!! Would be a repeat visitor! Price was reasonable! Barista was very friendly and patient!

Warning: New obsessed fan of Rise Up coffee! I've been to 3 locations (Market St, Annapolis and Arnold). Each location has been excellent and you can't go wrong! Why I am a new fan: 1. Check out the website and read the mission on Rise Up! I love love the co-op idea and giving back to coffee roasters 2. Excellent yummy coffee! As a new MD resident, I feel like I am giving back to the state as I get caffeinated 3. All the staff is so so nice! Must be the good coffee beans? 4. Cafes are nice and good place to sit, if the place is not crowded. 5. Serves food but I still need to try! Oh! My son did have a donut and loved loved it! Didn't share with me! Request for Rise Up management: can you build a super big cafe in Crofton MD, one where people can enjoy coffee and sit down to chat and work? Thanks, newbie fan read more

Rise Up Coffee - New fan too! Yummy donut! Don't know why this location doesn't have good reviews because we enjoyed it! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

Love this coffee shop! I'm brand new to Arnold and they welcomed me and my dog in. The espresso is amazing as was the simple and delicious strawberry smoothie. Can't wait to come back! read more

Rise Up Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

Bottom Line: A welcoming coffee shop serving coffee drinks, smoothies, pastries, egg sandwiches and awesome burritos. Well, now that I have realized my husband and I are Rise Up addicts I decided I should update my review for the new-ish Arnold location in the Bay Dale Shopping Center! We are huge fans of their drip coffees and Rise Up burritos. They offer several different types of burritos but the signature Rise Up is our favorite consisting of eggs, chopped chorizo, potato and avocado snuggly wrapped in a pressed tortilla with a side of salsa verde. Since moving to the area from San Diego I thought my breakfast burrito days were behind my but I was wrong! I really like how Rise Up chops the chorizo so that it is not overpowering. Regarding the coffee, we often just get it with a touch of sugar and whole milk but lately I've been going the seasonal route with pumpkin and gingerbread syrup. The coffee is really good so as festive as the seasonal stuff is, I think I'm going to revert back to a simpler coffee. I recently learned that we can order in advance at orderriseup.com and I hope they are developing an app to support my habit! The employees are always friendly and I just want to give another shout out to Rise Up for opening and safely operating during a pandemic! read more

Update (From 5 Star to 2): We were really impressed with Rise Up after their opening. They had a really great team, specifically Taylor. However, there have been numerous issues with Rise Up in recent months, which aren't to be overlooked (especially when you consider their made to order food prices are almost if not equally as expensive as other sit-down places). I have not had a made to order food item made correctly. I think I've ordered five or six times from them; from ordering a bagel and cream cheese that came with no cream cheese (?????), to ordering a burrito bowl sans tortilla (you know, in a bowl, as an option on their menu) but came as a burrito I didn't want, to ordering a fried egg (also a menu item) that consistently comes as scrambled. When you pay $10 for a burrito bowl, as I did today, and I got a wrapped burrito with the wrong items inside... boy, it really irks me. Also a word to the wise: don't even bother with their online ordering option. It was phenomenal at first! You would order, have a timeframe within 15-20 minutes to pick up and viola! However, their times became longer and longer; from 15-20 to 30 to 45 and today an hour! ONE HOUR! My food (which was made incorrectly) was done before my coffee. I wasted another $16 at this place again today. If you give them your cash, make sure to check your order entirely before exiting and don't bother going in peak hours, which is apparently 6-11 am unless you want to wait an hour for something that's likely going to come to you incorrectly. read more

Rise Up Coffee - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

Excellent coffee! Our favorites are iced lattes, and their amazing coffee smoothies! Also, you can get a great breakfast here too. And, you can get a bowl (easily 3- to 4-times the amount of food as the other guys' egg bites, and truly prepared while you wait, not just reheated stuff) if you want to leave off the wheat/gluten. They're not cheap, but they are excellent! read more

Stopped in last weekend to grab breakfast and a coffee to go. I'm a big Rise Up fan and frequent the Annapolis location. I was asked to wait outside because of the crowd waiting inside to collect online orders, which I appreciated. When I got to order I was surprised that they have a more limited food menu at this location (totally on me I didn't check, just pulled up the regular Mad Eggs menu). I impulse ordered two bacon, egg and cheese biscuits as result. The bacon was amazing on these sandwiches and the cheddar was really great too. I wasn't a huge fan of the biscuit, it wasn't very big and I have no way to explain this but it just didn't taste like a biscuit, more like a roll? I'm absolutely looking forward to the next visit so we can try the burritos though. Excited this spot is pretty close to our neighborhood! read more

I feel like I've had Rise Up coffee before but I've never been to a location. This spot was packed! Staff were so patient and kind. Iced americano was perfect! The breakfast burrito was fantastic, although it did slow me down because I waited a bit for it but honestly with it! read more

If you're in Arnold and looking for a quick coffee stop, here you go! Rise up never disappoints. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. You can even buy merch by the front desk area.

I don't know how this place doesn't have more negative reviews. I'm all about a local business, but we have been here 20+ times and every single time the service is horrible. This place is always crowded, so I don't know why it isn't staffed properly. I know staffing is difficult for small businesses right now, but hiring doesn't seem like the problem here. We've witnessed the line out the door and the orders backed up and they had someone restocking tshirts. Online order pickup time is irrelevant. We ordered at 9:45am with a pickup time at 10:10am. We arrived and our food was ready, but no drinks. We ate our entire breakfast outside before our drinks were finally ready at 10:40am. We've also been and ordered at the counter. We've witnessed during an extremely busy morning what seemed like a manager stop making drinks to switch the song on the playlist multiple times. Another time, on a slow Sunday at 3 pm, we waited 20 minutes for iced coffee from a spout because they only had two people working and it looked like one of the employees was on frozen drink duty which doesn't make any sense. Such a bummer because we live within walking distance and the food and coffee always taste great. But I just can't justify the bad service. read more

Skip the thirty minute wait and go to Blue Rooster! Don't bother ordering online... Staff here will completely bypass any sort of order system and make walk in drinks and food while you wait a half hour for your drink. This happens every time we come here but this will be the last. Other locations are not like this but this store in particular has little to no time/order management. Our two drinks tasted great though. read more

We had a variety of breakfast yummies yesterday morning. Fruit and the different burritos were aweome. Bacon was delicious too. I never knew you all served food until my son brought over a feast. We will be headed back for sure! read more

Jesus god! Waiting 20mins for a goddam coffee has been added to my life experiences. I had to tell them twice and by the time coffee was ready my food was cold read more

Great coffee--but if there's an online order for two coffee orders please have them out around the same time. 5 minutes between orders is enough to cool the first one down. read more

The food and coffee here are delicious, and the ability to customize your order is really nice. Online ordering is a cinch, and the service has been very friendly and accommodating. If you're in a rush, I definitely recommend ordering ahead of time, as things are made fresh. Love this place! read more

We are never disappointed when we get bagels, egg sandwiches, or coffee. However, I don't believe the staff has ever tasted the hot chocolate. It is a little better than water, and has no flavor. This has consistently been the issue. That being said, I suppose we will still come here, but never for the hot chocolate. Perhaps it should be taken off the menu. read more

I want to like this place since I recently moved to the area and it would be an ideal go-to coffee joint. We went once and the coffee was ok and the bagels, well, they gave them to us dry. No spreads at all. Of course we didn't look until we got home. willing to try again, but right now it's just Meh... read more

Coffee is good and I love their vegan food options. Açaí bowls are fire. My partner loves their chocolate coffee banana Frappuccino.

Glad they are finally in the neighborhood!!Lattes and (what they are known for) coffee smoothies are the best in MARYLAND.. Hands down!! read more

Rise Up Coffee - Iced Latte With Housemade Whip - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arnold, Maryland

The locally roasted coffee is amazing, and the special blends they have to purchase to take home are incredible.

Awesome coffee, friendly faces and dog friendly. What more could you need in a coffee shop?

I liked City Dock MUCH MUCH more, but not at the end when the owners let it go downhill. I did like the coffee smoothie but the sweetner in it was one to many pumps. Rise up foods (Mad Eggs they say - I wonder if that's a different business/profit center) selection is limited. I looked for a bagel this monring and only one kind is available online- Everything. I don't like that. No plain even as a second choice. The biscut is ok but nothing outstanding. I've ordered it 2x w/ egg and cheese (once they got the egg wrong fried not scrambled and one of the 2x the sausuage had a hard corner). I am not a biscuit lover and was looking to see if they offered an English Muffin. Nope. I'm looking again this morning and nothing there is really appealing. No scones. No bagel choices. No biscotti. No peanut butter toast. Avacado toast on 9 grain isn't for me. and for the record - 2 stars in noted Yelp as "Meh, I've experienced better" which is exactly how I feel here. read more

Wait times for in-person are bordering on 30min and 45min for online ordering. Iced coffee is great but it's getting harder and harder to commit to coming in. I hope they are working on this and can be successful! read more
