Our favourite place to have brunch at the weekend. Relaxed vibe, the coffee is the best in Melbourne, and the food never disappoints, always made with TLC.
Can't speak highly enough of this cafe. Staff friendly and food to top notch. Madeline and her team are always willing to help with any requests. As a company that regularly uses them for catering we need top food and we definitely get it. You won't be disappointed. Try a Bacon and Egg Roll ! Yummy
Absolutely love this new little cafe in the Eastern Suburbs. I grab my coffee before work there everyday because the quality is something you can rely on. I also highly recommend the breakfasts there as well. The vibe is also very relaxed and friendly.
This is my local. Come here 3-4 times a week and I love it! Coffee and food are always great and the staff are super friendly. It's a nice calm vibe and always an enjoyable experience.
Ordered the big breakky and found it delicious. Great staff and coffee, would definitely recommend it.
A fantastic local cafe - great coffee, delicious food and lovely staff that make you feel so welcome.
Great new cafe in Vermont. Excellent place to catch up with friends for a coffee and delicious food. Will definitely be frequenting my new favourite cafe.
Excellent coffee (bonsoy available, and it comes with a tiny teddy) - lovely breakfast menu and vibe - very glad they've come to my suburb!
I'll be back, mainly because the staff are so friendly - food and coffee great!
Awesome little place! Great coffee and food, love these little places in the burbs
Cozy, friendly, good natural light and clean. The service is great. The food was superb. A family vibe about the place. Damn Fine Coffee.
Exceptional team of people who love their food coffee and customers. Super enjoyable hangout!
Fantastic little cafe two minutes down the road, I'm so glad I dont have to go to the city for good coffee anymore! Love their bacon & egg roll and coffee combo for $10 also, great value.
Great food and coffee. Friendly staff that delivers excellent service
Got the smash and grind with the poached eggs, definitely coming back again! Great food/coffee and friendly staff, everyone get around it!
Morning coffee walks and this place was bustling. Can’t believe we were going so much further for the caffeine fix when this was right nearby. I’m not a coffee drinker myself but I am a muffin eater and this one was gooey and decadent
Great cafe in the nook of the business strip. Stunning staff with incredible, friendly service. To top it all off they have a great courtyard at the back surrounded by greens. I ordered the chilli scrambled eggs, with chorizo = divine, great portion sizing so I was left so satisfied. I also ordered a soy cap that went down so well there are no photos. Fab place for a sit down. Thanks Rise and Grind !
Is a friendly cafe , great customer service ! They got big back yard , if weather is sunny , backyard is a perfect place ! Coffee is above average , full body with strong coffee favor , love it ! They don't have lot of special food , but all the provide are on average standard , not pricey . Great local cafe !
Rise & Grind is Vermont's best for sure! It punches well above its weight for the location. We love coming here, as Vermont locals, the food is always fresh and delicious, the coffee is yummy and the service has always been fantastic. We love R&G :)

We have seen this hidden gem and finally got to try. The food (granola and stacked Rostis) was fresh and delicious. The staff on the other hand we unorganised and inattentive. We ordered a sandwich to take away which was in the cabinet and the girl who served us walked away and walked around in circles for 5 minutes not doing anything. We waited until another staff member asked if we were being looked after. Overall pretty satisfied but they need to have a better staffing system.
Love this cafe, friendly staff, great coffee and delicious food. A great place to meet for breakfast, brunch or lunch! Always Insta worthy food presentation as well! A great little find!
Rise and Grind is a shopfront cafe in a small and insignificant shopping strip in Vermont. It punches slightly above its weight, being a little trendier than one would expect for the area. It is a re-purposed shop, with a glass façade, and refitted inside with modern décor. The interior sports an off white colour scheme, with small planters made from wooden crates adorning the wall. The tables comprise slatted wooden tabletops, and pressed metal white chairs, as well as a bench and stools along the glass front, affording street views. The service was welcoming, cheery and attentive, and I was offered chilled water once seated. The all-day menu is limited, but reasonably interesting, with some vegetarian options (smashed avo; waffles; rostis), and a willingness to accommodate vegan diets. I selected the garlic mushrooms, sans eggs, but with a rosti: it was tasty and filling, and the coffee was also up to scratch. It is worthwhile giving this little café a try.
Had an amazing experience!! The food is great and the staff are so friendly and happy!! The best cafe that's come to Vermont by far!! Will definitely be going again!
Had such a wonderful experience at Rise and Grind. Their service was wonderful and all there workers were so kind. I would recommend trying the Chai latte it was amazing. Definitely going to be my regular cafe to hang out at!!
Such a beautiful warm cafe, which has an inclusive and family vibe as soon as you step in!! Beautiful staff who are always up for a chat and so dearly value their customers- never had a bad experience from anyone at rise and grind!! Food is next level yummy, and the vanilla chai just the best; looking forward to my next one !!
Always happy to see a credible looking Cafe on this "dry-cafe" patch along Canterbury Road.
Very pleasant service, good vibes in the morning rush hours.
$4 latte was well made, not too milky, not lacking in character from this Niccolo coffee beans and La Marzocco combo.
Enjoyable atmosphere too.
Cute little place with happy, friendly staff.
Good coffee, nice food. It's not as hip and happening like other cafes but it's a nice addition to the area. There's also a park in the side street nearby if you have little kids that need to run around.
Love this cafe!!! nice food, nice interior and great coffee. The rising rostis and smash and grind with poached eggs are delicious and the staff are always friendly with a smile on their faces.
One of the nicest cafes ever with some of the loveliest staff. Love getting my coffees in the morning before work and sometimes brunch on the weekends. Certainly recommending to all my friends and family. They also give out cute tiny teddies sometimes with coffee so thats a added bonus.
Since I live in the CBD it's really cool to find small chic cafes out in foreign suburbs. I found this cafe on instagram just scrolling through my recommended and just had to try it. The food just looked so beautiful and yummy. I will say the interior caught me at first from afar as for the set up was so simplistic and aesthetic. The staff are so pleasant and friendly and their service was quick and food was well presented. The coffee was really good and the food is really good quality. Prices are reasonable. The music gave a really chill vibe, hard to find cafes that play decent music. And like the instagram pictures they do not deceive or disappoint. Loved this cafe and will have to go again!!

Cute and cosy venue with the most amazing friendly staff. It's like a second home!! My personal favourites are the French toast for something sweet and the smash n grind for something savoury, always a tough decision as they're both to die for!
Love this place. It's a regular for catch ups with friends and also one where I can grab a quick takeaway. The atmosphere is great, the staff friendly and the food delicious. So good to have a funky, quality local place.
Discovered this cafe recently as I moved just around the corner. I'm so happy that I can grab a good coffee on my way to work. I'm pretty fussy with my latte's and the coffee here always hits the spot (you also get a tiny cookie with your coffee for free which is a bonus).
I've eaten brunch here a few times and can vouch for their Rostock stack and also the smashed avo. Their home made hollandaise sauce is delicious and meals are well priced compared to similar cafes in the area.
Definitely recommended.
I love this place...I get my take-away coffee to start my work day and the staff are always friendly & smiling! The cakes always look yummy & fresh too.
We decided to stop by for brunch as we were on our way to a roadtrip. The cappuccino was perfect in strength and the froth was smooth and creamy. The smashed avocado was good and came was three eggs! We were pretty happy about that. However the avocado needed more feta and seasoning. We also ordered the rising...
Cute little café in east Melbourne. Calm and friendly atmosphere. The Smash and Grind was excellent with the poached eggs and the coffee was full of flavour. Would recommend :)
Great little cafe in Vermont..!! All the staff so friendly and helpful..!! I had the poached eggs and it was delicious..!! Coffee was also spot on..!! Highly recommended..!!
Have been to this cute cafe a handful of times and it has definitely come a long way since its initial opening. The coffee is amazing & the food is definitely high up there. Will definitely be coming back again!
I've been to this cute little cafe a few times and it has never disappointed! The young staff are cheery and eager to please, the coffee has improved since it's early days to satisfy my coffee needs and the menu continues to surprise me. Recently I tried the french toast, which is a new addition to the menu with a side order of bacon and I have to say, it was amazing. The seasonal fruits were fresh and plentiful, the maple syrup tasted like the real deal and not that fake stuff and the toast itself was cooked to perfection. The bacon was also generous and cooked just the way I like it. My husband enjoyed the garlic mushrooms, which were fresh and plentiful. I will definitely continue to return to this little gem in the middle of Vermont!
Came here for breakfast with my girlfriend last week and we had a wonderful experience. We ordered and shared the "smash and grind" and "the French toast". The smashed avo was one of the best we've had in a while, very generous serving. The French toast was super yummy and had lots of toppings! The coffee and service was awesome too, we will definitely be back to try some other items on the menu :) Happy to recommend to our friends and family
This little cafe has gone a long way since it first opened- no wonder why the locals love the joint. Coffee has improved out of sight since the opening and the staff are very accommodating. Love my daily coffee stop before work every morning and my Sunday brunch with the fam!
What an amazing little cafe I found last Saturday driving down Canterbury Rd.
Lovely friendly staff who all had smiles & all seemed to enjoy working there!
Coffee was fantastic & my toasted ham, cheese & tomato was delicious!
Will definitely be making this little gem a regular stop for coffee!

A funky little cafe in suburbia. Great coffee. Friendly staff. Seating inside and out. A very relaxed atmosphere.
They are doing a great job being COVIDSafe. All staff were wearing masks. Takeaway customers waited outside for their orders. If you eat in the menu has the QR code so you can easily check in at your table.
This place has been here for three years but I've only just recently noticed it as it's tucked away in a local set of shops. The breakfast menu is not extensive but has the essentials including smashed avo and eggs Benedict. Presentation was good as were staff. Loved the relaxed courtyard area where you could sit right next to the veggie patch. Will be back.
Popped in after a puppy park outing just before they shut and the girls were amazing with the pups! The outdoor area is a great safe space for your four legged friend & the drinks were delicious! We’re definitely grabbing a feed next time :D thanks girls!!
Rise and Grind was amazing! The staff was super nice, the drinks warmed or cold bones, and the environment was super cute. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area!!!
Great Cafe In an easy to get to location. Has a rear courtyard which is very relaxing.
Friendly cheerful staff, reasonably priced menu, great courtyard out the back. Definitely recommended.
