Rise and Grind Cafe

"Some of the best food in town, however, like a lot of businesses tend to do advertise their wrong hours. On multiple occasions I enter long before it's time to close yet they tell me they are closed and cannot make what I would like to order. Says they close at 2:00 but oftentimes their grill is shut down much sooner. Would like to come in after church a lot on a Sunday to eat or during the week. Unable to order what I would love only to be told they can't make any exceptions. It's a shame because I love their food and they miss out on a lot of business by doing this and it is frustrating too. When you have a craving for something but they can't make it even though they're open still. So if you're going to close at 1:00 or 1:30 then you should change your advertised hours accordingly in my opinion. I'm not the only one who thinks this as well. I have been present when trying to order and have had multiple people in line behind me. Get the same frustrating answer that they are no longer cooking food. Seems like they are missing out on a lot of business."

"Over all this place is extremely cute and cozy. I got there at the perfect time to enjoy breakfast. It got extremely busy which was nice to see. The staff remained friendly and pleasant throughout the rush. The only thing I will say negative is that my potatoes came out cold but other than that the place is fantastic. I'd definitely recommend coming here."

"Coffee was great. The chocolate chip cookie was perfectly done. Breakfast burrito was also great. However be aware, they still serve food in plastic to go containers even if you are sitting in for breakfast. They also ask for tips before the food or coffee is even served."

"I ordered a peppermint mocha and I loved that it wasn't overpowering but was still flavorful. Kudos to the quick service and friendly staff. If I still lived in the area, I'd visit more often!"

"It is an overwhelming good feeling when you can still get a small town " welcome to our place" kind of a vibe whenever you visit a new place; Such was the case when I visited Rise and Grind Cafe for the first time. Despite the obvious struggle that the whole food service industry is going through, the folks in this place never waivered in delivering genuine care. The cafe is in the heart of the borough that is going through a modernization but that old time country feel was evident as soon as you step in . Since there was no dine in service available due to the pandemic mandate it still exuded a comfortable feel . The owner Tina gladly took my order over the phone and upon my arrival I was greeted with a warm smile(obvious even behind a mask) and her colleague Laura engaged with me in a brief but heartwarming conversation. I opted for their offering of eggs Benedict which is a must try; The faint hint of tang in the hollandaise sauce lent a nice contrast to the richness of the perfectly done egg over the soft biscuit and bacon. The soft and crunch contrast on their hash brown accompaniment was spot on ...the portion was generous as well. It'll be a must return to place for me, the warmth in the smile and friendliness alone was definitely worth the trek from across town."
