Arise

This coffee shop is convenient to an area I'm in a lot. We were able to park in front in the 10-15 min parking spots because we planned to just grab a drink to go. It looked like they might have had parking in the back. They had a nice patio area outside with a lot of seating and they had a lot of seating inside as well. I do wish the menu was better placed, when we went it was under the main counter. I got the upside down chai latte iced. It was really good. Prices were fair. They also had a decent food menu as well, if I ever go back I'd probably try something. The staff seemed a bit busy but overall they were nice. It was pretty quiet inside, so I'd say it would be a nice place to grab a coffee & chill/get work done.

Super cute cafe. Went in on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a strawberry açaí. It was good! It wasn't that busy or loud. There's a small room in the back with a white board and some tables. They have a wide variety of drinks and food.

I've been to arise a few times now for a morning get together.They have a parking lot and lots of free street parking making it easy to get to!!You walk in and it is very spacious. It reminds me of some smaller town cafes but it is right in the suburbs so it is unique for where it is located which I love. They have a cool fireplace against the wall when you walk in and you have lots of seating options from tables, to high tops, to comfy chairs in the back. They have games available for you to borrow too! There are also lots of folks studying in there so you can tell it's a cozy atmosphere.As for the food I got their current fall special, Lingonberry Turkey Sandwich. I added lettuce and tomatoes which is normally extra but they did not charge me which was really kind of them. The sandwich took a bit to get, but we didn't mind because we were playing games and chatting. Once I got it though, it was the best fall sandwich I've had!I definitely recommend this place for a study spot, a date, or just some you time!

A lot of outdoor seating and the indoor seating was pretty cool, sleek and white. The coffee was really good. Service as top notch. I would come back here to work on my laptop the next time I'm nearby.

Decent coffee shop! Not amazing but a nice little place to meet a friend or grab some lunch. The coffee itself is just okay. Baristas are friendly and there was plenty of open seating. I didn't try any of the food, so I will have to come back sometime to try something.The location is convenient to Heart of the City, although you may have to park around the corner. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's worth a stop if you're in the area.

I met a colleague here for a work meeting for my first visit. I decided to have a smoothie and I'm so glad I did. I chose the berry flavored smoothie and it was full of berry goodness. So delicious. We chose a table on the porch. There is so much seating here in different nooks. It's a nice place to have a meeting or just some quiet time. With the cars going by, the porch got a little loud but it was a lovely place to enjoy a beautiful morning. Service was quick. Parking was a bit confusing. There is no street parking right in front (drop off only on Nicollet). The lot next door is supposed to be for the businesses to the south of Arise. There is some parking across the street.

Cute little coffee and breakfast spot nestled in the city. Very friendly staff and great environment. We are definitely coming back!

We found this local cafe in the heart of the city in Burnsville. The patio was large and super nice! They have plenty of seating inside as well with a cozy sofa and fireplace. We enjoyed our coffee date and people watching spot on the patio near the downtown park. They also are dog friendly which is a bonus! They offer build your own breakfast sandwiches, wraps, pizzas, soups with breadsticks, lots of pastries, smoothies, and much more! They definitely got a little something for everyone and every coffee drinker. Our breakfast sandwiches were made fresh and on a delicious croissant. I ordered their upside down latte special for my drink and it was a pick me up with the espresso shot, yum! We will be going back to this spot for sure.

When I walked in no one was waiting, didn't get a hi or a welcome in. Felt very cold and like the barista didn't want people in there. When coming up to the counter I just felt very off put by the vibe and like I was an inconvenience. first time here and no kindness was given. Ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich and their small size brown sugar shaken espresso. Came out to 18$ and some change The sandwich was good and made fresh to order. Croissant was warm and buttery. The coffee however was not great. The espresso was insanely bitter like the shot had died so long before they mixed it leaving a literal ash taste in my mouth and was terrible. I went up to the counter asking if I could get more brown sugar or oatmilk to try and save the drink because I was not enjoying it. I was met with attitude from the employee saying they don't use syrup but brown sugar packets and that it's the most popular drink of the summer. I informed her I prefer actual brown sugar in my espresso anyway then syrup and she basically ignored any thing I said. She gave me another packet of sugar (which did not help) and she stated very sarcastically "sorry to disappoint you" I said she didn't disappoint me. nothing could have saved the drink tho. I went and sat back and could hear her talking about me and the brown sugar fiasco. I decided to go back up after a while ordered a danish which was very good and I asked for a substitute drink which I NEVER do but paying 7 dollars for a small coffee I want to enjoy my drink while working and I drove 20 minutes to come try this coffee shop. She did switch out the drink for an iced chai. It is basically a cup of milk With the smallest hint of chai. So I wouldn't recommend this shop for its coffee or employees the pastry I got and breakfast sandwich were good but I would not be coming back. Total spent before tipping was 23 dollar

Coffee is cheap and what you can find at any grocery store. If you don't have great coffee then what's the point of going to a coffee shop. It is big and has a comforting atmosphere but the chairs are average for sitting.
