Welcome to Rising Cafe

“ Amazing atmosphere, even coming in on a lunch rush. It was amazing food. Ladies were spot on. Had the chicken wrap and a cappuccino. Lovely little cafe. ”

“ Really good food and portions, plus good service and reasonable price. Well worth another visit. ”

“ Wonderful service, a great cause and all done to excellence. The food was delicious and cake slice can only be described as a 'slab' - a very generous portion. Cream tea for £5 (scone, jam tea or coffee and clotted cream) which I am keen to try on my next visit. The coffee tasted very nice and cappucino done well. The atmosphere is nice, with lots of seating to choose from including soft seats and good tables. It is vintage themed with gentle jazzy music on in the background. ”

“ Amazing coffee,cake,shakes, and tea. Although the cafe was fairly busy, 5 of us were fitted in and given a very warm welcome. Claire was excellent and entertaining for our youngest member. Would highly recommend it and the price was very, very reasonable for the quality. ”

“ Terrific place! Warm welcome from the very pleasant staff and great tasting food at very reasonable prices. Nice line in decor and beautifully clean throughout! Give it a try, you won't be sorry@ ”

“ Lovely lunch at the Rising cafe. Served up really fast from ordering and mega tasty. My daughter loved the milkshake! Really pretty setting with plenty of tables and room to manoeuvre. Next time I need to try their cakes as they looked so good ”

“ Excellent place to eat. Food was fresh! Selection was interesting and varied, but not too much. Beautifully decorated. I was part of a tour group and with a little planning ahead they accommodated us very well! Would visit again! ”

“ UPDATE FEBRUARY 2021 Rising Cafe has adapted well to the current pandemic and the requirements to be Covid secure. As a result, there is no sit-in service, but take away is available with a limited number of people on the premises at one time, and hand sanitising stations. The take-away menu is wide ranging. The staff even offered to bring the food I purchased across to my car, if I was parked. Excellent coffee and lemon drizzle cake! For opening times and available menu, see my additional photos. ORIGINAL: This excellent find is not only a vintage cafe serving a delicious range of hot food, snacks and cakes, but also a social enterprise charity (originally from a faith base, which still underlies its work) in which employees are people who have had a range of problems (including addictions) and have recovered and are being reintegrated into the community. As such the cafe is an incredibly welcoming place both in terms of staff and the environment. I applaud this ethos, and the staff that I met were shining examples of the success of the project. The food itself was quickly served (delicious lemon drizzle cake) and with a cheery attitude and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The premises are readily accessible to those with pushchairs and wheelchairs, and the washroom facilities are accessible also. ”
