With plenty of seating and a layout that emphasizes comfort, it’s no wonder that visitors find themselves lingering a little longer than planned.

The menu at Arise Cafe showcases a delightful selection of homemade options, with each dish lovingly prepared to highlight fresh, local ingredients.

As customer reviews affirm, the service at Arise Cafe is exceptional. Gloria Espinoza shares that the BEC wrap was “delicious” alongside a much-appreciated sausage platter and one of the best lattes she's ever had outside of a chain.

On the other hand, Emily Geiman praises the cafe's quality, stating the food and both coffee and matcha are sure to keep her coming back.

For those craving something lighter, the Berry Bowl, noted by Jeremy Bowling, offers a refreshing burst of flavors, even if it takes just a bit longer during busy times. Past visitors like Austin Halderman and The East Coast Yeti concur that while prices may be a tad higher, the quality and taste more than justify the splurge. Halderman passionately describes Arise as a hidden gem “off the beaten path” worthy of a stop for breakfast or lunch. The addition of local crafts for sale adds a unique touch to your experience, allowing visitors a taste of the region’s culture.

With its delightful menu offerings, friendly atmosphere, and engaging staff, Arise Cafe is more than just a cafe; it’s a local spot that fosters community and warmth.

Great service, food was good. BEC wrap was delicious! Sausage platter was very much enjoyed. Lattes were so good! One of the best lattes I’ve had that isn’t from a chain. Glad we stopped here on our way home. If they are still available, get a pumpkin Whoopie pie

We visit the area about once a year to see family and have wanted to visit the Arise Cafe. So glad we did! What a charming space! The hot turkey, bacon ranch wrap was delicious according to my husband and the cheeseburger (my order) was hot, cooked to order and so tasty!!! I realized that other than at home, burgers are rarely so hot and fresh. This may or may not be a big deal to you but I was happy with the lettuce, onions (not a giant slice-thank you because I nevercneed an onion wedge-and pickels (bread and butter). They were out of tomato and apologized a few times for that but really the burger didn't need it. The shop also sold some nice syrups, coffees, and turned wood items. Really a great place to sit and enjoy a great meal.

I stopped by here because all of my plans fell through. I wanted a simple berry bowl and they delivered. The atmosphere is very relaxed and quiet and there is plenty of space between the tables. My Berry bowl did take 26 minutes to arrive but I'm going to say that I think I ordered it at an unlucky time because they were also doing a lot of smoothie and other Berry bowl orders and I believe they only have one or two blenders but I could be wrong. Since I was absolutely in no hurry I did not mind the wait. what's important is that the bowl was delivered at the perfect consistency with very fresh fruit on top and was presented perfectly.

Absolutely delicious food. Price is a little higher than expected, but the menu did not disappoint! Highly recommend stopping by this gem off the beaten path for breakfast or lunch!

Nice surprise of a cafe with good food and coffee to fuel up after backpacking the West Rim Trail from south to North. Always good to get some scratch made food and fresher brewed coffee after eating trail food. Very nice staff. Plenty of seating and local crafts and items like maple syrup for sale. The warmed cheese Danish was great along with the turkey, bacon, cheese panini.
