What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I love what this place stands for an how they employee individuals with developmental disabilities! I love that the coffee is organic but I was disappointed at the taste. I spent $7 on a latte and didn’t even end up drinking it! I’ve heard that the Icecream and beignets are amazing but I did not have the chance to try them out. There are about 4-6 tables inside and a small outside patio. I would say this is more of an in and out type place versus one you would set up and work from. There is limited street parking and a parking garage right next door. I believe the minimum cost to park is $3.50"
"What a wonderful store that delivers both in its great food and atmosphere. From workers that greet you at the door with a smile to delicious desserts and coffees you are in for a treat when you go here. And make sure you try the beignets, the best I have had outside of New Orleans."
"What a heart warming experience. I never heard of this company before let alone their mission for inclusion and diversity. The girl who made my coffee was so excited about how she made it look..... it was the sweetest thing ever. The coffee was good....a little pricey but well worth it. The coffee shop itself was cute and outdoor seating available."
"Home made icecream. I had the key lime Manning (YUM!). Mary offered great service. The shop is spotless. The owners make everything in house by Mom and Grandpa. They make it all with love dedicated to inclusion of disabilities."
"We were thrilled and honored to make some new friends at this lovely cafe. The ice cream is made fresh in house and is amazing and highly recommended. If this isn’t reason enough to stop by, Rise Up is run by adults with developmental disabilities which is so wonderful. The entire staff was so welcoming and excited to meet my dog (yes, dog friendly as well!)."
"We parked in the garage this ice cream shop is located in so when we returned from the Boat show at the marina, it was only logical that we stop and get..."
