Today, I went to the Rise cafe in the afternoon and I ordered a raspberry muffin with a large one Latte. The latte tasted nice and the raspberry muffin was one of an incredibly big size and the taste was also good. The owner and staff were very friendly and kind so I would recommend going to this place.
