Gosia and Jay met in 2012, both already working in hospitality. Five years later, in 2017, they opened Rise & Bloom with a simple idea: to create the kind of neighbourhood place they would want to go to themselves.
Great coffee, good food and genuine hospitality. Somewhere you can come in every morning, be greeted by people who know you, and know that we care about what we’re serving you.
Hospitality has taught us to care about the small things, set high standards and, above all, remember that this business is about people.
We love coffee. And we’re always trying to make ours better.
Our house coffee comes from Triple Co Roastery, alongside guest beans from Origin Coffee Roasters. We work with people who care about coffee, from where it comes from to how it is roasted and how it tastes in the cup.
Great coffee comes down to the details: good equipment, good training, tasting, adjusting and doing things properly every day.
We want great neighbourhood coffee without the snobbery. You don’t need to know anything about coffee to enjoy a brilliant cup.
We work with Paul Rhodes Bakery, Daily Dose and Momo. We like what they make, but we also like how they work.
Organic, biodynamic and seasonal wines from producers we like and trust. We’re a small business too, so working with other independent businesses that care about what they do matters to us.
We pay well, provide fair working conditions and expect our team to care about what they do.
We set high standards, but we believe that should work both ways. If we ask our people to look after the business and our guests, we need to look after them too.
We want people to enjoy working here and to be proud of what they do.
We’re working towards being plastic free and use Decent Packaging for more sustainable packaging.
We won’t get everything right, but where there’s a better way to do something, we’ll try to take it.
That’s really what Rise & Bloom is about.
Great coffee. Good people. A neighbourhood place we’re proud of.
And after all these years in hospitality, we still think the simplest things are the most important.
