Crema's Take
“Rise Up Annapolis has mastered the Saturday morning rush without sacrificing quality—the line moves fast, the espresso is consistently solid, and you might score a Carlson's donut if you time it right. The food game is serious here, with Mad Eggs running a food truck onsite and a rotating selection of fresh pastries, plus they've got gluten-free options that actually matter to people with dietary restrictions. It's genuinely family and dog-friendly with outdoor seating that makes it feel less like a coffee shop pit stop and more like a local gathering spot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Doesn’t matter how long the line is - go in. It moves quick. The coffee is good. The food is great. And if you’re lucky you can get a Carlson’s Donut.

I have always had a great experience with Rise Up Coffee. The staff there is always polite and friendly! The coffee and food (Mad Eggs food truck and the bakery items) are delicious as well. There are a couple of tables in the shop if you want to socialize or get work done. The…
Cool little spot with a good selection of coffee’s. Plenty of fresh pastries to select from. Busy place.
