Rise & Grind

We stopped in around 10am on 9/1/25 simply because it has the same name as a little coffee shop back home. The two young ladies working at the time were amazing! They were super friendly and great conversationalists (we were the only vehicle so nobody else was waiting). They did a great job preparing our orders quickly and even wrote little notes on our drinks! If we lived in the area this would definitely be a frequent stop based on our experience!

This cute coffee shack is perfectly situated right outside Mt Rainier NP entrance and next to a gas station. As you are entering the NP on the morning or ending a long day of hiking and leaving the NP, you can grab coffee here along with their varied variety of savory snacks. We got our fill of morning latte here as we had a long 5 hr drive ahead of us.

Visited twice a day for our whole vacation. We absolutely loved this place and the staff was the icing on the cake. The highlight was the honeycomb- so definitely try this! On 3 occasions, we told the staff to surprise us. They picked flavors we never would have ordered ourselves and it was all absolutely fantastic! We also ordered Italian sodas twice a day… before and after hikes. So many yummy flavors… huckleberry being our favorite. Thank you for the memorable experience during our time in Mount Rainier!

We stopped here from out of town and had to return the next day because it is simply the best coffee beverages we have ever had. We purchased a total of 9 drinks. The Americano was especially smooth, the teens loved their different mocha w flavors and my son thought his Snickers drink was amazing. I got a Thai and it had a lot more flavor and spices then what I'm used to. I wish we had one of these in my town! The price was also really good, cheaper then what we are used to. Win-win and definitely worth a visit!

Such a perfect spot & great menu! We got the honey comb latte sans hazelnut & dirty chai and both were very good. The worker was super kind, patient, & helpful! Wish we had gotten her name to give her a shot out but younger woman w blonde hair & a hat! Would def recommend on your way into MRNP
