The Rise @ College of Charleston☕️

My favorite coffee at CofC!

The Rise is connected to The Restoration Hotel on Wentworth St. It’s a great place to study, have a coffee & a little treat! Their outside is so nice for doing schoolwork☀️ I think their coffee is SO good, I order a cold brew w/ almond milk & sugar free vanilla syrup! They also have baked treats too!

A great place to study & meet w/ friends❤️

The Rise, located at the College of Charleston, is not just a coffee shop; it's a vibrant community hub where students can relax and connect. Known for its delightful cold brew coffee made with almond milk and sugar-free vanilla syrup, The Rise is especially popular among those looking for a caffeine boost while studying. In addition to beverages, they offer a variety of baked goods that complement their coffee perfectly, making it an ideal place for a snack between classes. The ambiance of The Rise, with its chic interior and inviting outdoor seating, provides an excellent backdrop for studying or meeting up with friends. With views of the Restoration Hotel just steps away, it's a scenic location that enhances your coffee experience. Beyond the coffee, the connection with local culture is palpable, as it embraces themes associated with Charleston's rich heritage. Whether you're a student at CofC or a local, The Rise offers a welcoming atmosphere that encourages creativity and productivity. Remember to try their baked treats, which are perfect for pairing with your favorite drink.
