Rise Espresso

From the moment you arrive, Rise Espresso draws you in with a warmth and purpose that sets it apart. This not-for-profit café in Albury serves excellent coffee and food while genuinely investing back into the community, with all profits supporting people living with disabilities across New South Wales. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of outdoor and undercover seating, and it’s exceptionally dog-friendly. Just off the highway, it’s an easy, worthwhile detour off the motorway when travelling between Sydney and Melbourne — great food, great coffee, and a mission that actually means something.

Great food service and atmosphere just 200m off the highway. Best place to stop for coffee or tasty meals.

The iced coffee was really good as well as the chocolate lil bites pancakes,bacon egg roll, ham and cheese toastie, mushroom toastie but the matcha wasn’t as good as we thought it would be. Definitely go there if you have a chance to stop by.

Rise Expresso is hands down my favorite breakfast cafe! Their ever-changing menu is always a delightful surprise, showcasing fresh ingredients and innovative pairings. Even their simple ham and cheese toast is one of the best I've ever had. The coffee is consistently excellent too. But the absolute highlight for me are their Polenta Chips – a must-order every single time I visit! Highly recommend!

What an amazing little Cafe. First time visiting here, I travel a lot with work so I'm always looking for early start cafes. This is one of the only early opening cafes in Albury and I'm glad I found it. Great location, absolutely charming atmosphere. Ordered scrambled eggs on toast which is my staple when travelling and it didn't disappoint, some of the best I've had. Coffee is also amazing. If you're in the area looking for a great Cafe, make sure to try this one.
