I absolutely love the Rise Cafe! The staff is so friendly and the restaurant is very clean. This is our go to spot for our weekly meetings for our nonprofit. They never rush us out as we meet and socialize over great coffee, pastry or a sandwich. They have a large variety of items. While I cannot eat their bakery goods because I am sugar free, I have enjoyed them in the past and can say they are delicious. My favorite lunch items are the ham & cheese croissant and the chourico rolls if I have food. Normally I just have a coffee or diet soda and enjoy the atmosphere when I'm there. I recommend the Rise to anyone that wants something good! read more

Best donuts in the area. Super fresh, filled with cream. They are better than any donuts in a 25 mile radius.

BEST donuts I have EVER had. Delicious! The staff was Super Sweet and generous with their portions. There are quite a few tables for families to sit as well! read more

I had a cup of coffee and a doughnut for the first time. It was very FRESH and delicious. I usually don't expect fresh doughnuts when I go to shops but you can have them here. The clerks were kind and friendly. I also like the fact that I see many local people kept coming, chatting, hanging out over the coffee. This is "Cafe" tradition. read more

Just left from here. Got an iced mocha latte and some pastries. Pastries were fantastic. Iced mocha latte was so bad I couldn't even swallow the first sip. When I asked for them to redo it or refund the woman behind the counter started yelling at me. She proceeded to say that's how I make it. Said there was nothing wrong with it and it was me. Haha. So needless to say if that's how you treat your customers and yell at them in a store full of people we will not be back. read more

The bagel was fresh and the butter was melted. The donuts are not thick, they are light and airy with lots of flavor and the workers were so friendly. Great experience. read more

The Rise Cafe - 1 dozen assorted donuts! - Bakeries Near Me - Somerset, Massachusetts

I LOVE the Rise. It's so cute in here. I grew up coming here, and its always been so special to me. However, the old owners/employees were always so rude and snobby, that I stopped coming. However, under the new owners, I have loved coming back. The food is good, the coffee is good. I love their curly fries with their sandwiches. The donuts are ALWAYS so good. I came a few days ago, and there was only one worker so it was a little slow. However, the one employee who was on was doing a great job and working as fast as possible. A woman was waiting a long time and he felt bad so he threw in a free donut for her, which was very sweet, but wasn't his fault he was the only one working. The new owners are a breath of fresh air. I love coming here and it is so worth stopping in. read more

Buffalo tenders (to go) were inedible. I couldn't even cut them with a knife. Cost me $12.99 for four.

Had some amazing boneless Buffallo chicken, and it was amazing! Also purchased donuts that we fluffy and tasted great! Staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Amazing melt in your mouth donuts. Apple fritters are the rest around. Highly recommend

This restaurant is under new ownership. The new owners are doing a wonderful job and are SO nice. They have excellent donuts, pastries, and coffee. They also have lunch items and have recently expanded into fish and chips and buffalo wings. These are tasty too! Highly recommend them, great little spot in Somerset. read more

Just ok. I got the tuna melt platter. The bread was good. So we're the fries. Could've used more than just giant slices of red onion. If u want a good tuna sandwich go to pickle deli or pink bean. read more

As good as it gets for coffee and doughnuts. I am here for the second time and I couldn't leave without leaving a glowing review. The bakery items are incredible and I am in love with this mocha cappuccino and ham and cheese croissant. The restaurant is clean and welcoming and the staff is very friendly. No exaggeration: this is the best doughnut shop I have ever visited. read more

The Rise Cafe - Half a dozen doughnuts. - Bakeries Near Me - Somerset, Massachusetts

I met a friend for coffee here today. It's amazing cafe! Staff was so friendly and helpful while we tried to decide what to have. Both of us decided on the cinnamon roll. They warmed it and it truly was the best I've had in a long time. There is a great selection if fresh pastry and they have sandwiches and soups. There rice pudding was highly recommended but I am saving that for my next visit. All the reviews I have read are all true, this is definitely a must try. read more

The audacity of charging $28 for a dozen doughnuts absolutely blows my mind!! I have gone to many established bakeries in the area and in the city and I have NEVER even heard of anyone charging this much! This is the cost of a plate at a good local restaurant. This is MORE than I paid for seafood at a local established seafood retailer......NEVER again and I will NEVER recommend The Rise Cafe to anyone!!! read more

The service was amazing with the sweetest people! The food was also amazing! The Rise Cafe has probably the best donuts I've ever had! I highly recommend coming here! read more

First time and last time. Staff is unfriendly and clearly unhappy. They were argumentative with me. Greek salad was fresh, however it was a spinach salad because of the amount of spinach and not one piece of Romaine. Also olives were black and not kalamata. I am shocked they are still in business with the staff they have there. read more

The donuts are AMAZING! They also have great sandwiches and smoothies! The new owners are so nice and so happy to be part of the Somerset community. I saw a previous comment about the price of the donuts... these are not your average donuts and aren't even comparable to other bakeries in the area. read more

My favorite coffee shop in town. I love the rotating iced coffee flavors. My other top hits: breakfast sandwich on a sweetbread roll, house made chicken salad, and pumpkin cream cheese muffins in the fall. Oh and malassadas on the weekends!! read more

Already way down hill since it's been sold. Place just isn't the same.. Maybe I'll try it again in another month or so.. Food just isn't the same and the service is slow.. Staff is friendly tho read more

Much much better than the fast food at dunkin' donuts. I would have given five stars it weren't for the very mean old lady that works there

Love the linguica egg roll breakfast sandwich, desserts are awesome and also lunch is also delicious! I try to stop in whenever I'm in town. An awesome family business. Support local business!! read more

Very cute cafe! I would highly recommend their caramel iced latte, very yummy. I commonly get a pastry here and have never been disappointed. They also have a drive-through, which I have never tried but is very convenient when on the go. Other than pastries, they do have a wide variety of lunch foods like sandwiches and even some salads. I do have to say though, they do not seem to have lot of choices for vegetarians. Service is very quick! read more

Ordered a cake for my daughters birthday. When I went to pick it up price was 1.5 times what we expected, then when I asked why the lady who seemed to be the owner came out and took over the sale. She proceeded to raise the price another 8 dollars. After she raised the price she became extremely rude and I got the impression based on the looks of everyone around me this wasn't the 1st time something like this happened. I decided at that point I did not want to make a scene so I just paid the bill and left. One other thing that is worth mentioning is the box they gave me to transport this cake did not fit properly. In my case it did damage the frosting on-top of the cake because the box would not close. That issue could have been worse but I would make a point if you order a cake from them to insist you get the proper box for it. I feel for the price I paid, I should have received the proper box to transport it. Even the guy who brought it out made a point of mentioned the box did not fit it correctly. The cake however was good and everyone at the birthday party enjoyed it. I do not believe it was worth the $58 I ended up spending on it. I guess they would be ok just make sure you get the final price in writing before you agree to it. read more

Nice little cafe with good food and nice atmosphere with reasonable prices. Panini with fries and drink with a cookie for desert was about $11. read more

hidden gem for coffee and a large selection of donuts and fresh pastries

I've stopped by several times, the food is always great but the service suffers. The girl behind the counter makes you feel like you are bothering her when she finally decides to come out from the back. After asking her about the meat and chicken pies she gave me a snarky answer. She's a little on the rude side. Maybe they can rely on their regular customers and don't need to add to their customer base. Although I love the food I don't need the attitude and won't be going back. read more

I know that it is silly to let something like a bad meal ruin your day, but there are not too many people that love cafe breakfasts quite like me. This was the first one where I was left feeling unfulfilled and very disappointed. I had read the reviews of rise and thought it would be the perfect place to grab a quick meal before heading back to work. I walked in, impressed at the amount of options that I had to choose from. I chose a simple egg, ham, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin and an iced coffee with skim milk. The girl serving me seemed nice enough and quickly went to fill my order. The first thing was that for the amount of food I got, it was six dollars. This may not seem like a lot if the sandwich was huge and fresh and the iced coffee was great. The disappointing part was that the egg sandwich was small, and tasted like something you would get in a school cafeteria. The ingredients didn't taste fresh, and there was far too much cheese on it. It tasted like it had been heated up in the microwave instead of being freshly put together. That wasn't even the worst part. I tasted my iced coffee and immediately realized that she hadn't made it with skimmed milk. I walked back in (after having already taken a seat on the patio) and asked her if she had made it with skim. I could tell at first she was going to lie and say yes but quickly changed her mind. She said "Oh, it is whipped milk (?). You wanted skim?. She redid the iced coffee. I took another sip of it and now my coffee was about ninety percent milk and about ten percent coffee, and stale coffee at that. At that point I was too frustrated and didn't even bother asking her to redo that awful excuse for coffee. Unfortunately, It was a bad enough experience that I will probably not be back. I'm sure that some of their other items may be great, but I'm not willing to go back to a coffee shop who can't make a decent cup of coffee. read more

The Rise Cafe is one of those places that I tend to avoid for my waistline's own good. I am a fiend for a good pastry and the RC has them in spades with something for sweets fans (like me) or savory seekers (like my husband). I usually get a vanilla latte or an iced chai and both are swell but the food at the Rise is really where it's at. When family of mine came from out of town we got Portuguese sweet bread to serve them from here and they thought it was from one of the "locally famous" bakeries in Fall River. Rise has a nice, clean dining room and free wifi. I've met co-workers there for business and their Internet was fine for our purposes. Personal sweet favorites of mine: Peanut Butter Cup cookies, raspberry sugar cookies, and ALL of their cupcakes. Husband likes their ham and cheese croissants and we both enjoy their chorico rolls for quick heat-up lunches. My diabetic grandmother also liked their sugar-free, colorful butter cookies and she's a picky eater, so that's saying something. Only complaint is about the service: it's really hit or miss and while I've never encountered anyone who was outright rude, I have waited in the front while the entire staff was in the back chatting and some of the servers are better at making drinks than others. Never tried their drive-thru but their service seems to be a bit slow there too just from watching them from the inside. Rise is definitely worth your time if you're in Somerset and need a quick pick-me-up and you don't wanna give your time/money to the many Dunkin Donuts in the area. read more

A cute quaint little place with fitting cafe atmosphere. Had to wait a little while before an employee recognized I was there, but not too long. I ordered a grilled chicken panini with roasted red pepper and feta and wow it was delicious!! Reasonably priced, still cheaper than daneglos and much better quality than subway! The bakery treats looked amazing too! I will definitely be back read more

Fantastic restaurant/bakery. For breakfast on the weekends try their fresh, hot malasada. Or, at anytime, a bacon, egg, cheese on a Portuguese sweet roll. For lunch, their chicken salad has a real kick to it. Wonderful bakery selections, nice staff and extremely clean place. You can't go wrong. read more

All my life i have drove by here thinking it was a little coffee pastry shop (i don't like sweets that much). My friend brought me here for lunch and told me they are relatives of sunrise bakery is new bedford. Which have the most amazing linguica rolls. Holy moly thats what we had exact same ones. Its almost like sweet bread rolls with yummy filling. So happy ill definitely be back. read more

I got sick of Dunkins ruining my coffee, so I decided to give The Rise Cafe a shot. They make a solid cup of coffee, but you must try their Coffee Rolls, omg they are seriously out of this world yummy! Chewey, flakey, sticky, buttery cinnamini goodness.. just so good. They also have a variety of bagels you can choose to make a sandwich with, My Husband said his bacon egg and cheese on an onion was very good. It smelled awesome. I picked up a few cute decorated cupcakes for the kids when they were being extra well behaved after a shopping trip one day, they loved the red velvet. I will be back to try the tiramisu and get more coffee rolls! read more

The owners pride themselves on the freshness of every item, be it coffee, pastry, or a breakfast sandwich. Everything onsite is made daily with a few exceptions. This is great location to grab your Kindle, and do some reading. The locals are great, and welcoming. I usually end up having more interesting conversations than reading. The Oreo cake, and gourmet cupcakes (especially their coconut cupcakes) are worth driving out of your way for. The cool concept of a coffee bar comes to mind, but there is also table seating available. Their prices for breakfast sandwiches and coffee is great. The cupcakes are gourmet so they cost a bit more than one might expect, but they are worth the price. read more

Third time in a row our order was wrong so I decided to call the manager and let her know. She said its Sunday and were really busy.....no apology no offer to correct the situation and then she hung up on me!!!! When I called back to get her name she told me she's the OWNER!!! Pathetic for a business owner to treat her customers like this!!! Guess she thinks she has all the business she needs.....very snotty ....told me to have a nice day. Hope her attitude works for her.....or she'll just be another failed business. read more

We have returned several times and the rise cafe still does it! We both had breakfast sandwiches and delicious coffee. Good malasadas too! Would like to return for lunch sometime... great place!! read more

I stopped by The Rise Café while visiting from Los Angeles simply because I wanted to stop by a coffee shop, get some reading done, and it had pretty good reviews. It's a cute little place that has great pastries and delicious coffee (I even took some for the road!). The cookies and cinnamon rolls were to die for! Overall, a great place that I would definitely stop by again if I find myself in town! read more

Pastries are off the chain! Definitely stop by if you're in the area. I had a breakfast sandwhich, pastry and coffee. They were all excellent. After leaving we got pulled over by the cops for looking suspicious...but that's another subject. read more
