  “Had lunch there today and ordered the Rise salad. It was the best salad I've had in a long time. Really fresh and very tasty. The Rise is a gem of a place. Spotlessly clean and lovely, friendly staff.”

  “Look like a school from the outside but inside it has a nice relaxing atmosphere and bread and cake are baked in sight lovely place for a coffee breakfast or lunch.”

  “We came here for breakfast, it was busy. We ordered a cooked breakfast and mushrooms on toast, which the menu described as doorstep toast with mushrooms, tomatoes, poached eggs and rocket. As my wife doesn't like rocket we asked for it without that. What arrived had no poached eggs, but had pesto, balsamic vinegar and ricotta cheese. The cooked breakfast was nice, and the member of staff who brought it was friendly but rushed. Disappointed not to get what we ordered and especially as there were several unexpected allergens.”

  “Genuinely awful today. Ordered a tube toastie and blt sandwich. Got a tuna sandwich and a stale blt toasted thing. The bread was inedible, ironic given it’s a bakery. Zero customer service as there’s just a gaggle of them behind the counter or talking to seemingly every table but us. Paid for a bottle of water and got a glass. Coffee was good for the bonus star. I’m all for supporting local but that was an utter waste of £30 and I can’t see myself going back. A real shame but dreadful today”

  “We have been many times before for bread, cakes and pastries which are always delicious, however today we decided to go for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. One of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. I can't wait to go back again and I would definitely recommend.”

  “I Visit this place a lot, have eaten in and breakfast is amazing, but mostly visit weekly to get bread and the lemon drizzle cake (mother in law's favourite).Sourdough is to die for and can also recommend the granary and wholemeal tin options. They also do a sweet sourdough with samples often on the counter top to try, also tasty. Savoury options to takeaway like sausage rolls and pasties which are all amazing choices too. Recommend recommend recommend.”

  “I’ve had to revise my review yet again after a series of avoidable issues during today’s visit. The children’s menu clearly shows both breakfast (served until 11:30) and lunch (from 12:00), with no indication that lunch isn’t available on Saturdays. After ordering from the lunch section, staff came back to say it wasn’t available and that my child would need to choose a breakfast instead. Unfortunately, the problems didn’t stop there. We ordered baked beans on toast, poached eggs on toast, and a white sausage bap as a replacement for my daughter. When the food arrived, the “poached eggs” were actually scrambled eggs — only then were we told they couldn’t make poached eggs today. Again, no communication at the point of ordering. To make matters worse, no gesture of goodwill was offered. No apology beyond the bare minimum, no offer of a free drink for my child despite the upset, and not even an attempt to refund the difference in what we were charged. Based on the menus, an adult sausage bap is £4.95 and a children’s chicken nuggets meal is £5.95, yet nothing was mentioned about the overcharge or correcting the bill. It’s another example of poor communication and service. The café itself is a pleasant space and the food is usually fine, but the repeated lack of clarity, consistency, and customer care has really taken the shine off. At this point, I’m genuinely considering giving this café a miss in future — there are plenty of other options in the area that manage to communicate availability and treat customers properly. Obviously, this is my family's experience today and yours might be different.”

  “Wow what a find! Absolutely lovely cafe, the food was fantastic and staff very welcoming and friendly. High quality produce with amazing sourdough. I was really impressed by the home made dog treats at the counter and the warm shortbread on the side of my coffee. Little things go along way. I'm a lover of all things homemade and this place impressed me alot. We bought some Sourdough to take away as we couldn't resist 😄 things you love to see! We are from Wrexham and will happily return here for a bite to eat again!”

  “Fantastic place in Buckley, offering great food and a very warm welcome. We loved the little dog treats which were free for our pooches. My BLT was lovely, with home made coleslaw. My daughter had a Tuna sandwich from the kid's menu, a delicious looking hot chocolate and a pana chocolate. Everything was perfect. The staff are all very friendly and professional and the place has a nice chilled atmosphere, with tables and a lounge area. This is my new favourite local breakfast and lunch spot. I have my next meal planned - Eggs Florentine :)”
