Nice friendly cafe just round the corner from the abbey. Excellent coffee. If you like your coffee less strong, ask for one espresso shot in small size coffee drinks. Otherwise you will love the strength of the drinks. Scones were great too, served with lovely homemade jam. Reasonable prices. Good selection of veggie and vegan options. We'll be back!
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.
It’s a warm friendly welcome when you visit this cafe well worth a visit delicious home made food cakes to die for
Goid value, wholesome toasted sandwiches with a dressed salad and chips, with a mug of tea. What's not to love? Had the dog with us, so sat outside overlooking a lovely park, watching the car and foot traffic go by.staff were friendly and efficient. Made use of their 'facilities ' too, so all is well with the world!
Lovely traditional tea shop with friendliness and atmosphere - stopped for afternoon tea.
Popped into the cafe for a slice of cake and coffee and the service and food was excellent.
The staff were very helpful and welcoming.
It was a first time visiting but we will be coming back more often.
A great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink.. staff are very friendly and helpful.. the food was excellent. Well worth a visit.

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.
Best home made cheese scones I have ever tasted and delicious hot chocolate! Very friendly owner . Well worth a visit. Thank you
