Rise Cafe 2600 Nine Mile Road, Richmond, VA 23223

"The vegan options are awesome! I've ordered via DD (but v options weren't listed on certain items) and called in to clarify about that. The person who answered is super awesome! They made sure they knew what I needed and got the items updated on DD!"

"Warning for health people. It looks cool and healthy but it’s just frozen and flavorless food. Asked for mayo to add some flavor they have none so I had to put a bunch of black pepper on my eggs. The guy that took our order seems to hate just working overall. Coffee was great but I regretted coming here."

"Ordered a bacon egg and cheese croissant for $9 and drove 10 minutes to work to find that my sandwich was missing the bacon, food was super cold, and the potatoes looked shriveled up and old. Croissant is good, and larger than most places though. Vanilla latte was perfect. Food was not good. I’d recommend eating-in rather than to-go. Side note: the coffee sleeves don’t really grip the cups well. They slide off easily which makes me grab for the lid instead to avoid the hot cup. I have popped the lid off a few times already and realized that the sleeve was my issue."

"Very quaint Cafe. Reminds me of a Paris Vibe but with local aspirations. Nicely placed in Church Hill , East End of Richmond. On Nine Mile Road next to Richmond Community Center. it's like a hidden Oasis for the morning!!! The Latte and espressos are wonderfully made better than Starbucks!!! Definitely going to be my number one morning spot!!!"

"Great space with plenty of drink, food, and seating options! Not only does this cafe feel comfortable for all kinds of people, it’s clearly plugged into the community and promotes it as well. The space is very clean and has plenty of accessible outlets; very important for those spending hours here. It also has a lovely outdoor space with wide tables for larger groups or those seeking fresh air; though outdoor seating is a few more steps from the actual front door. The drinks were a bit watery, but the food (I ordered the grits!) was very delicious and fresh. I would love to return again and try more."
