Iced cardamom bomb
Stephanie S.

Rising Star is always a great coffee pick. Small and simple menu but the coffee is delish. I got an iced cardamom bomb which was very tasty. The spot here in the Van Aken District is small but it's full service and the VAD is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee while getting work done either inside or out. Lots of tables.

I've been going here my whole life. When I was a 4 year old me and pops used to do espresso shots and now after my 5th divorce they're still just as good. Very yummy and scrumptious, they are the best! I would trust the Rising Star employees with my life. Do not go to any other coffee places, they cannot compete with Rising Star.

I had both the safe vanilla and jasmine lattes this week and enjoyed them! They were both fun flavors that I don't typically try and I thought they were interesting and well crafted. The baristas were also excellent at latte art which always adds a dash of extra happiness to the start of the day!

Grabbed a latte and a scone this morning. The French vanilla latte was fabulous! It had some cute art on top. The chocolate chip scone was good. I've never had a vegan baked good before, so the texture takes some getting use to.

Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, there's never a bad day to enjoy the great mix of friendly service and quality coffee that Rising Star brings you at all their different locations. Beautiful barista work on the lattes and other specialized drinks.

At least 5 drinks waiting and thankfully they're not even busy right now.
Crissy R.

They have quality coffee and pastries. My biggest complaint, along with other customers I've witnessed in line waiting, is their work flow--specifically their system for making coffee. They can have 4 people behind the counter and one person pours the shots, one pours that into cups, and the cups sit and pile up in line waiting on one person to steam and pour in the milk instead of just making the drinks as they're ordered. Their process doesn't work--not efficient whatsoever.

This place serves the best coffee in town, and the location is simply amazing. The Van Aken Market Hall has one specialized vendor for everything, and Rising Star is the best at coffee. The coffee here is strong, smooth, and delicious. It's as good as the best espresso I've had in Europe, and pre-pandemic times they'd give you a little glass of sparkling water just like cafes in Europe. My fave is the latte, the milk froth is creamy and they even do latte art! The service here has always been superb, everyone is genuinely nice. Do yourself a favor and come here in the mornings for coffee, get breakfast pastries at On the Rise, or the Boro brisket sandwich from Lox Stock and Brisket, sit down on a bench, and people/dog watch. Or better yet, eat and drink in front of Grooveryde and watch the hungry people sweating away. You'll thank me later.

I love the atmosphere of Van Aken hall, and Rising Star is the perfect complement to this space. Whether you're studying or catching up with friends, a cup of coffee or tea from Rising Star fits the bill. The staff takes the time to make your lattes aesthetically pleasing and they also offer oat and almond milk alternatives. Pricing is reasonable at 3-5$ a cup. If you'll be staying a while and want the full coffee experience, be sure to ask for your order "for here" and they'll serve it to you in a nice ceramic mug with sparkling water.

This Rising Star is fantastic. The service is always prompt, and the coffee is delicious!

Nice spot inside Van Aken food court area with coffee drinks and some pastries. I go because they carry Florissant vegan cookies such as the delicious maple iced oatmeal and also her soft zucchini brownies!

I put up a copy of the advertisement from their instagram sight and I could be wrong but NOWHERE does it say in store offer only! That's false advertising. Biggby customer service can't even admit when they are wrong and try to make it right! The drinks were average at best, a little bit above gas station coffee, one of my drinks was the wrong size. The food was average to bland. I placed my order at 8:45am, 2 of the sandwiches I ordered were with everything bagels and my order was excepted online and completed and I was sent an email that what I had ordered was properly completed.Once I got there to pick up my food I was informed they were all out of everything bagels a mere 3 hours after opening and there first week of being open. There wasn't even a huge line, there were 2 cars in line and I was close by and could see that they hadn't been busy. I asked for 2 Asiago bagels instead and they said ok, 5 minutes later I was told they only had 1 Asiago and the other would have to be a plain bagel. I wasn't even offered any kind of discount or apology for not having what i ordered. So the new store first thing in the morning is out of 2 of the 3 types of bagels they have and the food was very bland. Plus the waffle sausage egg and cheese sandwich was bland plus the price was higher than most and for what you get not completely worth it. Myself and my family will definitely not be customers ever again!!

I stopped in today for a cup of morning coffee but walked away with my hands full. I got iced coffee which came in a smaller than I wanted cup. I also got mushroom latte which was perfectly spiced with cinnamon, and very smooth. I selected almond milk and feel like it paired well with the ingredients. Also I had to have some baked goodies after looking at the bakery case. I ordered croissant which honestly I found to be not fresh but still good. Apricot tea cake in the perfect world deserves its own paragraph. It was delicious, generously filled, and everything a tea cake should be. It's a must have! Service here is phenomenal! I mean top notch, attentive, and very genuine. There was only one employee serving the line but she did it with such a level of positivity that it made my morning. She asked if baked goodies needed to be warmed, asked about drink carriers, milk preferences, everything. She was consistently friendly with all customers. I really applaud this cafe on having such warm and friendly service. I wish more workers were in this morning to attend to the line but the service was incredible. As far as the cafe layout and amenities, here's the scoop. The cafe has wine, beer, coffee, and breakfast/lunch grab and go's. They have a coffee club where you get your own tumbler and you can join for $20. They also have plants for sale on a display much like Phoenix coffee. They also have a printer that you can use to print things. I don't know about you but I always feel like I need to print things. I mean it. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, was quiet when I was there and is somewhere you can really focus and do your most meaningful work. I also like the separation from the counter to the seating portion that makes it more secluded. I could totally see myself sitting here all day outside and enjoying the sunshine. Overall, if you have wine or caffeine needs, stop by this cafe. It's an unexpected gem of Larchmere. Order mushroom latte, it's a unique local find and is very tasty. Lastly, the cafe seems to have many regulars. One of the customers said "it's always a joy to be here" to cafe employee. That's exactly how it felt here - joyful.

My boyfriend and I came here on a Tuesday afternoon and were able to find street parking easily. The decor of the shop is cute, and ordering at the kiosk was simple; they have a pretty extensive menu so, whatever type of drink you're looking for, they probably have it! We got the coconut matcha and a mango matcha milk, both of which came out pretty quickly. I was unfortunately a little disappointed with the color of the matcha when our drinks came out; it was a very pale green, and didn't taste like they used high quality matcha powder to make our drinks. My boyfriend was also disappointed by the coconut matcha, which didn't taste as good as he expected. I thought my mango matcha, on the other hand, was delicious! The mango flavor was strong and sweet, but not overly so, and I enjoyed my drink! Overall, we'd definitely come back, but probably try different drinks since it seems like this shop doesn't specialize in matcha.
