Rise Coffee House in Cheshire East

Great place! Great service lovely staff highly recommend. Best sausages in the world burgers are top quality too!!!!!

I went into Rise Cafe after visiting two other cafes in Wilmslow, on previous days, which were both pretty good. Rise however, topped the list, for superb food, a lovely panini, excellent coffee, combined with a very pleasant ambience. I will definitely go again, when I am visiting Wilmslow.

Friendly staff, great coffee and great tasting food. Great variety on the menu and I will certainly be revisiting when back in the area. Set slightly off the high street I found this little gem of a place. WiFi was great for a working lunch and the coffee was delicious. Food cooked to order and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff there.

I have never written a negative review before but felt I needed to after eating in Rise. The price displayed on the menu is NOT the price you pay at the till. They add V AT onto your bill. I was very surprised and felt I’d been misled by this tactic. It is very unfair to the customer but very profitable for the business. I have spoken to the owner and she is now going to change her menus. It does, however, leave a bitter taste.

Very Expensive! £4.95 for a bacon buttie two slices of bacon, really nice bread but not worth a fiver. Sorry but next time I’ll be going greggs

Great service, Great food, Great options. Very impressed with the quality of the food and the effort taken in prep of drinks. Highly recommend this place for lunch and coffee 9/10 keep up the good work

Working in the offices across we thought we would give it a try and the chicken curry and vegetable rice was absolutely amazing, best thing I’ve eaten from a cafe/restaurant in a long while. What a find!!

I like to find and buy from independent businesses when I can especially after the pandemic, on a short trip to the Wilmslow area I stopped at Rise for breakfast and coffee. It is lovely. The staff are friendly, so much nicer menu than the coffee chains. I asked for eggs benedict and was given a choice of bacon, salmon, spinach and I think the list went on but I asked for salmon. It came quickly, was perfectly cooked and really delicious. The coffee had a delicious flavour. Very happy with my stop.

Possibly Wilmslow’s best Full English breakfast! Really good ingredients perfectly prepared sensible portion. Fantastic special coffees with an in house Arabic Blend. Other healthy dishes too. And open early.

Have popped in here a couple of times whilst visiting wilmslow. Excellent coffee every time, quick and friendly service and a nice selection of food as well.

Called in here for lunch and we were able to sit outside. We enjoyed cheese on toast and crushed avocado - both delicious along with great coffee. I don’t understand other comments about the service because I have always had a great customer experience

Called in for a light lunch. Sat outside and ordered the special cheese on toast (very yummy) and avocado with poached eggs together with cappuccino. All very good with quick service and it’s good to note that there are various options of milk available.

Impromptu visit to Rise for a coffee and decided to stay for a quick bite to eat. 2 guys on duty were very friendly welcoming and efficient Coffee was lovely and the food excellent will definitely be returning

Rude and impolite owner, the guy was so rude when he was taking the order that we decided to complain, however, as we were complaining to him naturally no joy. Eventually, after 25 mins food and drinks arrived. Terrible Service

Camarena closed, now Smoke was closed, so on a weekday at lunchtime it was either the pub or somewhere else. Remembered Rise, across the road, so we ventured inside. Quite busy at the front so we took a table at the back where we could catch up. Ordered extra hot lattes and they were brought to the table soon after. Could've been hotter but good quality. Lovely little café, I'll be back.

Usually come here for a coffee and cake, but today decided on tea - and surprised with the wide choice available. Service is always great and today was no exception

First time at this cafe, Cajun chicken wrap and steak and onion ciabatta were to die for and coffee was very delicious. Owner was very friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Very clean and good service

We visited Rise today with family and all had coffee and food. Both food and drinks were amazing and very friendly service. Will definitely be back

Ordered a couple of coffees and couple of simple snacks. Coffee came promptly; not so with the food, which was a no show. We waited 40 minutes and eventually had to ask for a refund. Other customers were having similar issues with food orders. This is the 2nd time out of several visits that we have found issues with food here; and will be the last!

I like the personality and character of an independent. Definitely not the emotionally dead hand of more corporate coffee houses. Great coffee with a knowledgeable and friendly team. Do try the Christmas turkey dinner: great value!

Escape from the rain at lunchtime and popped in to enjoy a lovely coffee and a danish. Some previous negative comments on service, but I can not fault. Always pleasant and welcoming. Thank you

I am 1 mile away from this restaurant and they want to charge me 25 pound for delivery. All I want is breakfast tray.Haha.. get stuffed.

Popped in for a coffee and a bit of vegan cake, of which I had 2 to choose from. Delicious vegan brownie and nice coffee, with a pleasant vibe. Friendly staff.

Wer were a little disappointed regarding the service. Food ordered came not as ordered but this was corrected immediately. Also the place could be a bit cleaner

I popped in for lunch on a Monday as I like to try out independent places. It was quiet (but not dead) and there were no delays in service. I had the tuna toastie which was large and tasty, with a lovely fresh crisp salad on the side. The cheese was a bit cold though. For £4.25 this was great value, especially as I struggled to finish it (not usually a problem I have!). The hot chocolate was good, again great value at £2.75.

Good place for lunch or coffee. The food is fresh and tasty and at a good price.Busy at lunchtime due to offices in close proximity.

Avoid the chaos at lunchtime as the staff just can’t manage. They prioritise large takeaway orders from local offices and treat customers sat in the cafe awfully. Food can take up to half an hour.

Nice place to stop for lunch or just coffee and cake. Quite relaxing and unhurried. The cakes on offer are delicious

Love the staff here we pop in a lot for takeaway coffees and occasional cakes and lunch. Really disappointed today as the muffins are now cash and carry style bought in and cost £2.50 each. Bought four as we were in a rush, but never again, they were terrible. Would go to another coffee shop if we are heading out for cakes again.

Have always enjoyed visits to Rise and still have fond memories of the amazing stew I had there last winter. Visited for lunch with friends recently and it's changed ownership. Service was quite slow, it was a bit of a wait at the counter for orders to be taken, and no acknowledgement from staff while waiting. I ordered a roasted tomato soup which came very quickly but didn't taste "roasted" at all, just tomatoes blitzed and doesn't taste as nice as the soup I make at home! The real disappointment though was the coffee - Rise used to serve the best coffee in Wilmslow but what I had was just like Pret's filter which wasn't great. I probably won't be visiting Rise again anytime soon, which is a real shame.

Dropped in here today whilst on a lunchtime circular. Friendly welcome and sat outside on a couple of little wooden chairs. Had a Frobisher's OJ, unfortunately no soda water.

I believe the dish was called 'not just another cheese on toast' or something along them lines. I thought it was super yummy!! Delivered really quick too and nice and hot. The staff were friendly and efficient. The space is quite small but I feel like it's used really well with a hidden outside space at the back. Will be back again.

Great coffee, great service, polite and attentive staff. I stopped here for a coffee and roll as I had a business meeting nearby. I have ongoing business in Wilmslow and will return again soon! Kudos!!

Really friendly staff, good coffee and possibly the best brownie I’ve ever had. It was cookie dough and was gorgeous, and i couldn’t believe it was vegan! Amazing - Definitely will be back!

The Chef produced a really good avocado on toast with poached eggs BUT my partners 'full English' was very average for the £8 charged (with one rasher of bacon). We could forgive that but what was alarming was the standard of hygiene we witnessed which nearly put us off eating. The 'owner' sneezed into his hands and didn't wash them, then wiped his nose with his fingers. He also picked a dirty napkin off the entrance mat by the front door where people walk in and out and wiped a table top with it! Luckily someone sensible came over and sprayed the table top and wiped it, much to our relief. OWNER GUY - PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS. This is basic hygiene 101 my friend, in addition, stuff you pick up off the floor GOES IN THE BIN!!

Id always pick an independent over a chain shop any day, but I don't think I'll be rushing back to Rise. Coffee okay, but not amazing. Had a sausage bagel which was a nice treat on a hungover Sunday.

Great flat white and friendly staff. Good range of breakfast and lunch items. Only thing I’d improve is quieter music as it was a little loud at times for chatting. Would go again plus they have loyalty offer.

Wonderful warm welcome (including our Newfoundland dog - all dogs allowed indoors); beautiful smooth coffee; delicious bacon egg sausage sandwich). Perfect spot. Highly recommended.

Been to Rise quite a few times for coffee and lunch with colleagues and friends. When I first went for lunch, I had a toastie which I wasn't particularly impressed with, but Rise has since revised their menu and they now have quite a good selection of hot, cooked food for lunch. I have tried the avocado and poached eggs on toast, salmon frittata, tuna melt and my favourite so far, the beef stew with dumplings which was hearty and peppery. The food is a good portion, reasonably priced, and cooked fairly quickly, which is what you need at lunchtime. Coffee is good too (both normal and decaf) and I have tried some of the sweets on the side which have been good. A good place to go for a quick bite or a chill.

I've tried Rise 3or 4 times now as I would much rather spend my money in an independent shop rather than a chain, but every time I've been the staff seem unfriendly and not in the least bit pleased you are there, even when it's nearly empty.

Sold out of many things first thing in the morning. Service polite but very slow.

Ambiente encantador café amable. Habiendo tenido una experiencia terrible en la entrega de respuesta sorprendente petit y el propietario me habían desconfiado de tiendas de café. Sin embargo me alegro mucho de que probamos este Café es tan diferente a la entrega petit. Es acogedor y mucho más limpia. Una ventaja es el café es decente.

Soy un habitual. Me encanta este lugar. El café es perfecto. La comida está recién hecha en el sitio de proveedores locales artesanales. Maravilloso. Nunca estoy decepcionado cuando me visita. Una alegre bienvenida y un servicio atento que me hace volver una y otra vez. También el perro amigable. Pruébalo, no te defraudará.

Desayunamos a las 11. 30:00 am. Llegamos a la puerta, un letrero que decía "cerrado". Vimos un hombre dentro y entonces nos dimos cuenta de que había olvidado de apagar la señal de 'abierta'. Tranquila, a sólo 3 mesas de comedor. Fuimos a la barra a la orden. Pasado mesas sucias, migas y escombros. El personal era bastante agradable. La comida también era agradable, nada memorable. Pagamos y nos fuimos. Todavía no cleated placas de personas que había estado comiendo. Personal ocupado con su propio teléfono, ni despedida, no gracias!

En un par de veces para café y pastel. siempre un precioso saludo del personal, un lugar limpio, agradable y amable. increíble y las tartas de café delicioso. Todavía estoy a probar algo fuera del menú, pero los desayunos han sido recomendado por un amigo, así que volveré a probar pronto.

Excelente calidad de café. . El personal sonriente. . Perros bienvenido. . Muy práctico para el centro de la ciudad wilmslow. . . Voy al menos dos veces al mes y siempre disfruto :)

Called here many times and always enjoyed my choices as have my companions. Friendly and helpful staff. Customers of all age groups. Find rear area more restful than front. Well worth a visit only danger is that you will become a regular!

Food great and at reasonable prices. Served quickly. Front of house could crack a smile, not very welcoming.

Popped in for a sandwich on the way to the airport. Service was quick and food was great. Only missing perhaps some salad or garnish with the sandwiches. Cakes looked fab too. We will be back.

Great service freshly prepared food and allergies taken seriously thank goodness. Always something different to try. Lovely cheerful staff .

Very relaxed comfortable coffee with good food. Service is sometimes a little slow but everything cooked to order and usually quite busy.

The staff, the coffee and the atmosphere all compliment each other at Rise. I have been going into Rise for about 2 years and never had a bad experience. It makes such a refreshing change from the chain coffee shops. I would never go anywhere else for coffee in Wilmslow, the staff do everything right.

Best coffee and service in Wilmslow. Always friendly. And well the coffe speaks for itself. Happy days

Rise is amazing. I had the Nutella hot chocolate and a tuna melt baguette today and it was just the perfect lunch to cheer up an otherwise dull day. The sandwich was hot, filled to the brim and tasty. I would definitely recommend and can't wait to return and try the coffee. :)

Independent coffee places are just great when run by enthusiasts - and this one does just that And the full English breakfast is just wonderful - excellent ingredients cooked to perfection And the coffee is just magnificent Oh and the wifi is just superb - high speed and uber reliable Why would you want to chain yourself to a chain ? First class - top notch

I am a regular. James, the owner, is a coffee enthusiast. He is ably assisted by his excellent staff. The food from the kitchen is of the highest quality and the home made cakes are delicious. Give it a try. You'll not be disappointed.

Visited twice now and ordered full breakfast on our last visit which was excellent. Like other reviews the coffee is wonderful and you want another when you have finished. Service was great. We will be back at the weekend.

Fabulous Coffee Served in a Great Coffee House in a Lovely Area by Brilliant staff.Definitely one for our Little Red Book when in the area again One of the Best in Wilmslow Value for money Thanks

Excellent place for a Sunday coffee and paper. Friendly. Coffee made with care. Papers and dog friendly. Also have loyalty cards. Happy staff happy customers. Best place for coffee in Wilmslow by a country mile. Happy days

This coffee shop is super for dogs(they are welcomed with dog treats and a bowl of water) and it's pretty fantastic for humans also! The coffee is excellent and I have to stop myself from stealing the hot chocolate I buy for my children(it is delicious). The food is very tasty and you get very generous portions. The total lack of blandness is very removed from the offerings you get from the many chains in Wilmslow. The service is always excellent - take the offer of a tab, sit back, read the newspapers and relax, making sure that you leave room for their moreish brownies! Always a treat for us and our furry friend!

I love to try an independent coffee shop. Popped in today to meet a friend and ended up having 2 coffees each. Friendly staff, lovely and clean, and most importantly good coffee. Prices competitive. Next time I will stay for lunch as the meals I saw coming out of the kitchen looked delish.

Very tasty baked beans on toast with a pot of tea - for £5. A nice cafe with plenty of light - and papers available too. Service was fine. Some tables outside at front and back if weather ok.

Went in here today attracted by the clever sign outside about Brexit and the inside looked nice. Very good coffe but not impressed by the service or the welcomeWill try it again as the coffe and interior was great ...newspapers to read too...hope I get better service next time

Mum and daughter coffee time. Lovely service. Great seats. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Lovely tasting coffee and moist lemon cake. Will be returning.

I have been going to rise coffee for a long time, I go in often and have wanted to leave this review because of the poor service of the woman behind the counter. She looks done on us when we order a drink, she then proceeds to scowl at us as we pay for our coffee and never seems able to give us a smile The upside of this is that the coffee is probably the best in wilmslow but I'm not sure if this makes up for the poor service

It's more pleasant than all the chain in Wilmslow Town Centre if a little expensive for food. But then again all coffee shop expensive for food in my opinion

The coffee, food and service here are excellent. However, I have to say that the best thing about this place is the owner. He makes you feel totally welcomed and can't do enough to make sure that your visit is everything you want it to be. Even our dogs are treated like VIPs! I've just been reading the reviews for Cook & Baker down the road where many complain about the owner's attitude, and I agree - the experience is more than just the food and drink. It's about ambience, and feeling welcomed and valued. If that's what you want, you should definitely go here. There's a lovely local feel and live (chilled vibe) music sometimes too.

stopped here for a coffee and toast this morning before a course and was delighted to have a tasty very mellow coffee (with skimmed milk if you want it) and 2 slices of fab thick cut fresh bread. Delicious start to the day.

Visited this coffee shop last week for lunch with my friend. I had the most amazing freshly made ham sandwich, fresh thick bread and melt in your mouth ham off the bone, as Ham sandwiches come this was by far the best sandwich I have ever tasted in 30 years! The coffee was also a cut above the rest, topping Starbucks and costa coffee by miles. Would highly recommend visiting this lovely family run establishment if you are ever passing or in Wilmslow yourself!

Visited this morning and will definately be a regular. The food and coffee was just lovely. One of the chaps working their came over for a chat and to offer my Fox terrier a doggy treat. What a super place

I thought this cafe looked great from the outside, since it's an alternative to Costa and Starbucks, which are both very nearby. But when I stopped in this morning for a coffee for the first time, I was extremely disappointed with the service.I was left standing like an idiot while the woman behind the counter just stared at me, not even saying hello. When I eventually placed my order, she seemed to serve me with disdain. When I paid, she quite literally shoved the change into my hand.The man making the coffee didn't even look at me, except to say that a coffee wasn't mine. Perhaps they were both having a bad day.The coffee itself was good, which is why this review isn't 'Terrible'. The breakfast food choices available were poor, though.All in all, I was very disappointed. I won't be going back in there. At least in Costa, you're served with a smile.

We popped into rise for breakfast before our long car journey home. Service was warm and friendly and the coffee and the full English breakfast were superb

I go to this cafe nearly everyday, for breakfast or lunch. The coffee served is gorgeous, all the food Ive eaten has been lovely. It does what it says on the tin, so what could be better?

Rise has been through lots of ownership changes and service levels and food quality had dropped off a cliff. We decided to give it another go at the weekend and were really glad that it seems to have picked itself up again! It's had a bit of a make over inside which makes the place feel more warm and welcoming. The sausage sandwich was fab too! And no scrimping on the sausage. Quality ingredients as always! We'll be back!

Went here every day whilst I was working locally, the coffee is really tasty as are the locally made cakes on offer (particularly the scones!) Salads at lunch time always a hit too - delicious! Highly recommended for coffees, snacks and lunches on the go.

This small independent coffee shop is a real asset to Wilmslow. The coffees are expertly made and taste great. It a lovely place to unwind and relax over a quality coffee and sandwich. In my experience a lot superior to the larger chain versions.

I'm a fan of small independents as opposed to chains and this delightful place proves why Friendly, attentive - great coffee and an amazing salmon and poached eggs Charming staff who bend over backwards to get a lap top linked up to wifi and who take pride in their work First class

Rise Cafe Bar is a great place for a snack and a coffee. It's a bit more appealing than maybe some of the national coffee chains - the food is real and not pre-packed, if you know what I mean.They used proper crusty bread for my bacon sandwich!

Me and my friend went for breakfast, smoked salmon and eggs were absolutely incredible!!.. Coffee's the best around!

By far the best coffee in Wilmslow.Great service and eggs on thick hand cut toast!!! Great place to meet.

This was once the place to go for a decent breakfast feed. I went on Sunday 5 July, coffee was passable but the breakfast was probably the worst I've ever had. I could do a better job myself blindfolded and randomly selecting ingredients from the dog food aisle at the local supermarket. Every mouthful was worse than the last and the bacon was like shards of misery in my mouth. For 2 people it cost £22 and i have needed therapy to get over this experience it could take a while

Went in Sunday the 5/07/15 with a friend great coffee but the breakfast was possibly the worst I have tasted I found a hair in my food it was cold the eggs were cold bacon rock hard sausage was cheap don't recommend to anyone the chef needs sacking

I went here about a year ago and it was perfectly fine so my question is: what the hell has happened? I went for breakfast with my family and we ordered 2 full English and 2 poached egg on toast. One poached egg on toast came, then another came... about 12 minutes later... and the 2 full breakfasts came about 8 minutes after that... Some of the staff we friendly but others showed no enthusiasm and looked uninterested in everyone. The food was yummy and I very much enjoyed it but I was let down massively by service. As a former waitress, I understand things like this can happen if a place is busy and I am very understanding if this is the case. BUT the place was empty except for us and one couple... Food was yummy so the chefs did great apart from the delays between food but I think the front of house staff need a serious talking or training

They may make a decent coffee in this cafe, but i have given it the benefit of doubt on 3 occasions and on each occasion have had to go to the counter after waiting 15 plus minutes to have my coffee made. A real shame as this would be my every day coffee shop if they just got there act together with the service.

lovely staff amazing coffee and delivery food is great! i recommend the bacon sandwiches! lovely place to pop into;)

Really friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere & great coffee and cakes.. Well recommended for breakfast: good menu choices & reasonably priced

Amazing coffee shop in the heart of Wilmslow. Their coffee is beautiful and they offer alternatives to milk as well (good for lactose intolerant folk or vegans).Always excellent service from the lovely staff, and their text message ordering system is wonderful when you're on the way to work or in a hurry.Not sure why this place has any negative reviews, overly fussy people perhaps? Everyone I know from my workplace who've been there (more than I can count on two hands) won't go anywhere else for coffee now...why bother? It's way better than the chains or the other shops. And yes, it isn't a gigantic place with tons of seating but it has plenty considering Wilmslow isn't a city...and is has lots of character too. Also like the effort that goes into the funny messages on the sign outside every day.I can't speak for the food but their cakes always look yummy!

We have visited Rise a couple of times now. Having two dogs it good to find places that accept dogs inside and not just at their pavement tables. And when I say accept, I mean actively welcome! The coffee is good and its nice to have a choice of different sandwiches/biscuits/cakes etc rather than just the same old stuff the chains offer. The staff are friendly and the service is good. I think this will become a regular haunt for us and our two four legged family members, especially as it seems more important than ever now to support our local independent shops.

I go to Rise occasionally, as I like to support local businesses rather than the usual chains. The issue with this place is that it is basically a corridor with seats. Seems busy when there are only a few customers. On my last visit I had the poached eggs on toast. They took a very long time to come. the eggs were perfectly cooked but the toast was very crunchy - probably stale bread. Best Coffee in Wilmslow? Well it is good coffee but I wouldn't rave that much about it. Overall a reasonable place but the corridor layout puts me off.

I can only agree with the last review about the coffee, very very poor considering its "wilmslow's best coffee" atmosphere was very dead also. Ive been in a few times normally order a takeaway tea decided to try coffee was awful and so was the atmosphere always quiet maybe rise need to do something abit more appealing and take more care in making coffees will try again soon but not promising anything would rather go somewhere else

Rise has ben here a while and still has good quality coffee and personal service.Good breakfast standard too.

Popped in after a visit to the barbers round the corner. Had a delicious flat white. Really good quality coffee and not burned the way it can be in the chain places. Can't say more than that as didn't sit in. Ditch the 'big 3' and support the I depended. Will be back!!

Coffee at Rise is good quality. Service is pleasant. We were a little unlucky as the upstairs seating was closed on our most recent visit as we were a group of four and the few larger tables downstairs were already taken.

Breakfast of excellent coffee and lovely poached eggs on thick toast. Well cooked and nicely presented. Service a little erratic but this adds to the charm of the place. A nice change from some of the chain coffee houses. Well worth a visit

Visited Wilmslow area for a few days before a football match in Manchester. We visited Rise for lunch and felt very welcome. We had Americano's to drink which were lovely. My husband had the Texan panni & I had the roasted vegetable tart for lunch. Both were very tasty. Friendly staff who spoke to every customer and asked if they had enjoyed their meal. Obviously very keen to ensure customer satisfaction. Ten out of ten! Wish Rise was in my home town and then i would be able to visit regularly!

Well - I do love my coffee and I prefer to support the local businesses. Of the national chains I prefer Cafe Nero coffee and there is one in Wilmslow but I always come here. Its on the main road on the left on teh way to the Aston Martin garage. Nice bright atmosphere and you can sit for hours reading the news paper. Coffee tastes lovely and teh people there are very happy and friendly

I love this place, the potatoes are amazing and the smoothies are also great! My kids also loved the paninis, I always like to go whenever I am in Wilmslow !

The portions are on the small side, unless you count the bread - they serve half a loaf with each sandwich, toastie or something-on-toast. My small son had no chance at all of even getting his toastie into his mouth, and the fact that the ham is cut very thick meant he couldn't eat his lunch. No problem for adults though. Having to ask for everything from cutlery, glasses, sugar and napkins got rather tiresome too. The largely teenage staff seem to enjoy working there, it does feel a bit like a youth club. We won't be going back.

Fab coffee, gorgeous breakfasts and the staff are lovely! I particularly like the little sun trap courtyard to the rear!

RISE is a small independent coffee house and cafe on the popular high street Water Lane in Wilmslow and it's well worth finding. We went for Sunday breakfast following a night at the seriously mediocre Holiday Inn by the airport.Its not a lot to ask but so many big name chain coffee shops like Starbucks serve a bland mug of wet brown stuff. RISE by contrast served us an outstanding cappuccino with just the right mix of coffee, milk and foam, and superb Americano. both were rich in flavour and well made. We also had the full breakfast, made with quality bacon and sausage, superbly cooked poached eggs, beans and mushrooms accompanied by chunky toast.The cafe was quite busy and felt friendly and warm. They have a courtyard for sunny days and deserve to thrive against the brash competition from the mostly bland national chains.
