The Rise Cafe

Food is just as subpar as the service … Our fruit salad was spoiled and the person who took our order was super rude and aggressive. I received my coffee and it had so much cream in it I brought it to the counter and asked for half to be poured out and some black coffee added. The woman who took the coffee to add the black coffee gave me attitude about asking for my coffee to b fixed and how about how I ordered my coffee. If you work in customer service and you have a shitty attitude you shouldn’t work in customer service. We ended up throwing out both full coffees we had and our fruit salad … Such a waste of money.

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.

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.

I would give 0 stars if that was an option. And it’s good see I’m in good company with some of these reviews. The theme seems to be that the manager needs some psychological help. Some friends and I had breakfast at the Somerset Grill down the road (which I would recommend), but wanted to catch up more since we hadn’t seen each other in a long time. My friend who has been to The Rise Café before recommended we go there since we finished our meals and the grille was busy. After finding parking, we went in. We were not greeted by anyone at all. There was a line so we grabbed a table. We started talking and a staff person came over and rudely said «you need to order at the counter» and walked away. We didn’t order right away because we had just finished breakfast, but were planning on at least getting something to go since that is the right thing to do. then some time later (we weren’t there more than an hour) we saw staff cleaning and putting the chairs up; it was 11:30am. We asked what time they close and were told noon… which they should have said 11:30 because they we’re literally closing up right that second. Then (who I think is the owner /​manager) came over to us and said «you need to leave since you’ve been here taking up a table and haven’t ordered anything. «YES, I understand its rude not to order anything but we were intending to at the very least get something to go. And we apologized to staff, explained that we did want to order something but felt that we had been treated poorly so were just going to leave. …i get in my car and pull around the front and the same lady that asked us to leave had come out of the shop and was screaming at my friend who was in the parking lot talking to her aunt (who had also been inside, ordered breakfast and felt kicked out). The (I’m assuming) owner was screaming at my friend «don’t talk shit about us to my customers!» «Are you telling her how you didn’t order anything?! «meanwhile my friend is apologizing and trying to calm her down. When I asked her what was the problem she went back inside and slammed the door.
So the point is if you enjoy a crazy woman screaming at you in front of everyone in the parking lot, this is the place to go. Because yes, we should have ordered something right away, but she ruined any chance of any business at all… ever.

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!

By far the best !! I am a Portuguese lady who loves her fried dough. And There’s is just outstanding! They have great breakfast sandwiches and coffee. I love the lunch menu as well. A perfect mix of sandwiches and soups. American and Portuguese ! They sell sumols which is a Portuguese soda. This has been my favorite drink since I was a little one. Coming to the rise café not only puts the biggest smile on my face it takes me back to my child hood! For all you Dunkin donuts addicts out there… I hear ya! But the rise café will quickly change your mind about ever going to Dunkin again. The food and drinks are top quality it isn’t even comparable to Dunkin. All there ingredients are really fresh! They have a drive through for those on the go! And I must add the prices cannot be beat! This is my everyday morning stop! And so much more! The lunch the dessert the everything ! There’s something for everyone! The staff is super friendly and make you feel right at home ! Thank you rise café for making my mornings so wonderful!

Great iced coffee and the cinnamon sticks and buns are wonderful! Nice place to meet up with a friend in an informal setting.

I got sick of Dunkins ruining my coffee, so I decided to give The Rise Café 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!

Food is great and the prices are fair, the 3 stars are for the personalities of some of the people the work there. My wife and I have been going to the Rise since it opened and have been shocked by how unfriendly they can be sometimes. We would have stopped gong there a long time ago if the food wasn’t good just based on them being unfriendly and rude. Smile once in a while and throw in a good morning and a have a good day and I bet you will have more appreciative customers.

Hearty breakfast sandwiches, good prices and quick service. A great place to stop for a quick bite

I got sandwiches to go here to bring to my aunt and uncle who live in somerset. The sandwiches were good– I called ahead and picked them up. No complaints.

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.

I met a friend for coffee here today. It’s amazing café! 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.

Stopped by for lunch the other day. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Had a tuna melt, it was awesome. I also had an iced mocha, which was better than Dunkin but this place is not a coffee house. To finish it all I had an apple turnover, also awesome. Prices were really good too. I will definitely be going back.

A cute quaint little place with fitting café 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

Went through the drive thru on a Sunday morning. The place was packed so I was sure we were going to be waiting forever with an order of 2 breakfast sandwiches, 2 coffees and a doughnut. But nope! Service was pretty quick and friendly. The food was delicious. I loved my egg and cheese on a croissant, it tasted very fresh. My coffee was delicious too. Will definitely be back.

Working down here in Somerset, found this nice little place for a coffee and a pastry. Linguicia and cheese roll followed by a chocolate chip croissant.

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 1^st 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.

The Rise Café 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.

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 café 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.
