Rise Up Coffee has been an independent small-batch coffee roaster and retailer since March 2005. Rise Up originated from an explosive combination of ambition and circumstance. Tim Cureton had what would prove to be a life changing coffee experience while traveling home from the Peace Corps service. His love affair with great coffee had begun. Utilizing a $16,000 business loan, Cureton along with co-founder Abby West, opened the first Rise Up Coffee. Rise Up began as a coffee trailer, before there were TV shows and movies about food trucks. What started in a parking lot in a town with a population of 1,029 has evolved into five high-volume cafe locations, a very active online store and many new exciting wholesale relationships.

Rise Up is known for its people. Now staffed by over a hundred amazing people, among them is Tim’s lifelong friend and business partner, Noah Kegley who joined the company in 2010 and now serves as Head Roaster.

Recently voted ‘Maryland’s Best Coffee’, Rise Up represents 15 years of total dedication to sustainable coffees, Certified Organic + Certified Fair Trade.

Really run and intereating looking place, the style and everything was perfectly hipster. Absolutely hate those chairs, extremely uncomfortable and can't sit too long.

I got a latte, it was ok, stand latte with some ok beans. I didn't get that, "wow" factor from this latte, but it was good enough for the moment.

Not a place I'ed go back to as a tourist, but as a local, I was like it becuase its probably one of few places to go to for coffee.

Excellent coffee. its a pretty high volume location for Rise Up and the line to get food can get backed up really quick. Drinks are usually fast, but of course specialty drinks do take longer. Their flavored lattes are incredible - totally worth the trip out to west OC. Interior is spacious but not overly crowded with tables. They have decently sized assortment of branded shop stuff if you're into that.

Best coffee I’ve had in a while! The breakfast biscuit and avocado toast are both very tasty. I had to get some beans to bring home^_^
