Rise Up Coffee has been an independent small-batch coffee roaster and retailer since March 2005. Rise Up originated from an explosive combination of ambition and circumstance. Tim Cureton had what would prove to be a life changing coffee experience while traveling home from the Peace Corps service. His love affair with great coffee had begun. Utilizing a $16,000 business loan, Cureton along with co-founder Abby West, opened the first Rise Up Coffee. Rise Up began as a coffee trailer, before there were TV shows and movies about food trucks. What started in a parking lot in a town with a population of 1,029 has evolved into five high-volume cafe locations, a very active online store and many new exciting wholesale relationships.
Rise Up is known for its people. Now staffed by over a hundred amazing people, among them is Tim’s lifelong friend and business partner, Noah Kegley who joined the company in 2010 and now serves as Head Roaster.
Recently voted ‘Maryland’s Best Coffee’, Rise Up represents 15 years of total dedication to sustainable coffees, Certified Organic + Certified Fair Trade.

Friendly service. This place can have long lines but it moves fast and orders come out quickly. I cant reccomend the rise up burrito with salsa verder enough...so so good. My son loves their everything bagels and a la carte scrambled eggs. Great cold brew coffee. Coffee is organic and fair trade.

Barista was so sweet and I loved her recommendation! The chocolate covered banana! Pastries were delicious as well. Always love stopping here when visiting OC.

We were visiting from out of town and stopped on our way to Assateague Island. The cold brew is amazing and some of the best I've had! I got it with sweet cream cold foam and it was so good we stopped again the next day. My partner loved his iced cinnamon toast crunch latte too. 😊
