Feedback From Our Customers

“ While out running errands, I searched maps for "coffee near me" and stumbled across Rising For People Coffee. Their Blood Orange Shaken Espresso is what brought me into this funky little spot. Do not be deterred by the remodeling, the coffee is most definitely worth the stop!Their drink menu is creative, fun, and unusual. Love it! After talking to the lovely barista about the coffee, drink menu, and asking for her recommendations, I ended up getting the Blackberry Lavender White Mocha... It was phenomenal!!! Thank you, I will be back to try the others!Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5 “

“ Adorable drinks! I’ve rarely seen such a fun selection of drinks, and they’re actually good! They have a whole Bridgeton themed menu, and specialty drinks, as well as the usuals. It’s inside the Haven on Earth Bakery, so you can grab something to eat too!! Super cute, go try it.

Avery- Verified Google Review

“After revisiting this place a few times, I have to change my last review. The owner pays so much attention to detail when making your drink, the love and dedication really shows even down to the coffee cups! Every cup of coffee is exquisite! Almost Too pretty to drink! Almost. Such fun, beautiful, creative creations that have the best Flavors!The best part about this place? Every purchase made, a mangrove tree is planted in Kenya. This place is worth the visit not just for the coffee but for what this place does in positive ways to help others. “

“ I came for Rising For People Coffee after visiting their stand at the Reno Riverside farmers market a couple of weeks ago. It's worth the extra drive to South Reno. I had the pistachio latte. I'm picky and it's easily one of the best lattes I've had. MUST TRY!“
