Rise & Grind Coffee

Four and a half stars for this small little coffee establishment at the market!!I was pleasantly surprised how good this coffee is. The flavors pop and it's not so sweet like most places. A latte is truly an American latte and not full of sugar. They have a great crew and all cheerful and helpful. I went last week for the first time and appreciated the coffee and choices. They were patient with my thousand questions and that was helpful. The prices are normal for market. I enjoyed the sugar cane recycled straws so they don't have that disgusting cardboard taste!! Yay to that. The place gets waves of being busy as well as being empty so you just have to find your time and I must say that they work pretty efficiently. I love their cups too. They're rounded on the bottom and the cup is all around the same size vs the smaller bottoms and bigger tops. I just thought it was a cute design for the cup. My coffee was great and I got my caffeine fix for the day. Thank you!!

I usually sleep in on the weekends, but woke up this morning to go to the Kakaako Farmers Market. It had a lot more vendors than I expected. We couldn't decide on what to eat. The significant other spotted this coffee truck and wanted to get a coffee. He got a cold brew $5 plus Hawaiian flavor (mac nut, coconut, vanilla) for $0.25 more. It was alright. I took a few sips and couldn't make out the flavoring. It wasn't until we got to the bottom of the cup that we got some of the flavor. It had a little sweetness to it.

This was a good stop for a morning coffee! It was a quick and easy grab! The guy was very nice, and helped figure out what I wanted. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the price was pretty high for an iced coffee, other than that, it was great!

Love this little, unassuming, non-pretentious coffee truck! The staff is sooooo sweet and friendly! We were in desperate need of caffeine, and since I'm not a big fan of the "red tiger" we were happy to find R&G. We were a little obnoxious when it was our turn, but the young girl was so sweet! Jai had the cold brew with almond milk, and I had an iced latte with almond milk. Both were made with really good coffee beans. I'm not sure who their purveyor is, but it was brewed just right. This really helped us wake up. The young woman even wrote "Happy Birthday" on Jai's cup. So sweet!Mahalo Rise & Grind!

Always super slow service for coffee that is just poured from a container. Taste isn't terrible but nothing special

We love going to Kaka'ako Farmers Market on Saturdays. Our go-to place for lunch is Youpo Noodles. While waiting for our noodles, we saw a long line at Rise and Grind and decided to give this coffee stand a try. We got the 16oz Hawaiian Iced Latte. This flavors include mac nut, coconut, and vanilla. The latte flavor was good. I can taste the coconut and vanilla flavor, but not much of the mac nut flavor. I believe it should be nuttier? The size of the latte was very small even for a 16oz drink. There wasn't enough for the drink to be satisfying. Overall, this is a cute and small coffee stand. There are different variety of coffees and a great selection of flavors. There are also customizable cold brew and latte flavors. I would get a coffee from this place once a while with a meal at the farmers market.

They had a long line at around 10am at the Kakaako farmers market, but it was definitely worth the wait!! ***What I ordered **Winter Spiced Latte w/ Oat Milk (10/10) The perfect balance of sweet and bitter! I loved it all! My favorite part about the drink was the "winter spice." You can taste the cinnamon tones in the coffee also, their oat milk wasn't overpowering the latte! An interesting thing about some of their lattes is that they use Pono Potions syrups to sweeten them! Overall, The staff was really nice, the drink came out within a few minutes, and my latte tasted really good! I would love to come back and try another latte from Rise & Grind! Can't wait to catch them at another pop-up or farmers market!

This little blue trailer packs some huge joy in a cup!I've known them to be here at the Mauka side of the Kaka'ako Farmers Market though never had the chance to grab a sip as they always have a crowd of lines forming all around them and I can see why.I took advantage of a work schedule adjustment and grabbed my chance to rush over early and got my hot cup of Hawaiian Snowball to get me warmed up while I scan the market. Awesome friendly staff is amazing as I placed my order they even asked what kind of milk as I tend to forget to ask of alternatives that's available which Oatmilk is my favorite....aahhhh!!!!Hawaiian Snowball is coconut + peppermint and you can make it a cold brew or latte (hot or iced) woah!! Absolutely smooth cup of warmth that's not sweet but has the right amount of flavor and whatever magic they make happen in the cute trailer is comforting and I'm so glad I got it the first thing this morning!!Thanks a latte!!!

Pretty ordinary coffee truck but is good to have a place to grab coffee at the farmers market. I have a toasted marshmallow cold brew ($5.50), I should just try the cold brew itself, since the flavor makes the drink too sweet. Or maybe I will try their latte next time. Overall, it was pretty standard to me, but I will grab a drink from them if line not too long. Price included tax too and they accept cash.

I don't understand how this can get less than five stars the coffee was so good and the service was great it was fast and I forgot to tell them oat milk but he stopped and made sure I got exactly what I wanted ... the Flavors are there in the coffee bean didn't overpower it ... just need to open one on base!
