Rise Up Edgewater

Ordered online for pickup and I didn’t pay attention to the time for pickup called the store apologizing asking for my order to be ready ASAP, they said it would not be a problem. Within 5 minutes my coffee was ready and PERFECTLY AMAZING 😍 A large iced caramel americano, one pump of mocha, extra cream and liquid sugar (simple syrup) with sweet cold foam 🤤

Haven’t had the food but the coffee is always spot on. A little on the pricey side but about Starbucks rates. The location itself has a little iffy parking/dicey turn in and the interior could use some more character, but it seems like a nice place to stop in to get some work done and not as crowded as the Annapolis Parole Center.

Really cute place with reasonable selection of coffees drinks and pastries. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The cappuccino was very good and nicely made. The reason for the 4 star rating is two things: 1) it is really echo-y inside so much so that it was hard to hear anything being said, and 2) parking is a huge problem. It would be great if there was more clarity about spaces available and possibly some signage. As for the echo....not an expert but there needs to be something to absorb some of the racket. In this visit, two families with small children were visiting and enjoying themselves, but it was deafening inside. The back garden is cute but could use some TLC.

Sunday was my first time ordering from RiseUp. I really wanted to like them but my fiancé's food was burnt. Everything else came out really good. I saw a review 4 months ago stating the same thing but I thought my experience would be different. I'm willing to give them a 2nd try but, please be aware if you get a biscuit it may be a lil crispy 🥴

What a gem. I just had probably the best cortado that I can recall. Their stellar reputation is well earned. Buy some coffee to take home. The worst thing here in the parking. So patience is key.
