Rise Cafe

Giving the choice is good as it satisfies all customersand as we can see above personal preferences!

Not sure why a cafe would always be pay at counter though, they have staff! Not expecing silver service but if you are bringing food to the tables and coffee not sure why paying is a big deal?

Anyway paying after always allows for giving a good tip for great service and I think most cafe staff would appreciate that.

@rise_cafe yeah for dishwashers :):grinning:

A little straw poll:

For cafes like Rise:

  • I prefer to pay when ordering
  • I prefer to pay at the end of my meal
  • I don’t mind either way
  • Other (please comment)

You’re brave, inciting feedback like this! I think your cafĆ© is lovely, adore the plant hanging over the fireplace and think the whole place is very stylish. Don’t mind when I pay. Keep it up.x

Ditto.
This, to me, looks a business that really cares and wants to learn about its customers’ preferences and then to try to accommodate them where it can.
Obviously, it’s not going to be able to make all of its customers 100% happy but what business does!

Hi Sarah. Honestly it was a bit too herby for my liking and a bit on the small side.

Love the new sign!

Popped in today for the first time for lunch.

Very nice inside, great place for a catchup or chat. Food was good as was the service.

More expensive than a traditional cafe, but free range eggs etc.

Will go again.

Yeah I popped in a while back when my washing machine was busted and had to go to the laundrette. Not the cheapest cafe around but the enormous sausage roll I had was absolutely delish…

The launderette was also pretty fun - lady who helped in there was a hoot.

Featured here - not sure why it says Brockley, it says HOP in the article itself, maybe confused with Brockley Rise…
