Rise and Grind Plymouth — Restaurant in Plymouth

Been meaning to share my review of this place for a while because it’s mine and my husbands favourite little coffee spot in Plymouth! When we first came there was this feta and humous sourdough dish which in all honesty is one of the nicest things I’ve ever eaten. We came back twice in one week it was that good! When we came back a few weeks they had replaced it with an Avocado version, I mentioned to the girl behind the counter it was a shame it’s no longer on the menu because it was so good, to which I’m assuming was the owner turned around from making coffee and said “I still have all the ingredients so I can make it for you if your like?”. And it was just as amazing as the other two. I was really taken back by how amazing the customer service was there. She could have ignored me but she went out of her way to make a customer happy and I really appreciated it. My husband also wasn’t keen on some of the ingredients in the toasties (because he is a plain eater) so we asked if they could do a simple ham and cheese, again they were more than happy to cater for that. The coffee and mocha’s are amazing. All in all, in our option the best little cafe in Plymouth, the location is also lovely, especially on...

One star for atmosphere , and the other one for nice plates, glasses and cutlery. Unfortunately that’s all. They were toooo slow. The ice cream for kids was only on the bottom of the glass, melted. Tea they brought too early and buy the time my tray with sandwiches and cakes arrived my tea was already cold. And finally our friend ordered a coffee and we had to wait for that coffee more than 30 minutes. I’m not lying honestly. They said they are busy, but there were only 4-5 tables. Even in big coffee shops were customers are more than 10 the waiting time for your coffee can’t be more than 5minutes. I’m really sorry for my 2 stars, but if you are charging ahead you could have told us, that you don’t have ice cream instead of scraping what’s left in the bottom of the freezer. I really hope that you’ll improve your service. Tea and scones were nice. My husband said that banana bread was better last time he tried when it was quite there. My...

Food: I had the French toast with maple syrup and Tiramisu french toast. Maple one was good, though being a sweet tooth I would always love more maple. Tiramisu was too dry, the lady fingers needed more of a soak. Partner had the lemon-raspberry cheesecake French toast which she would definitely recommend. Coffee was great, no remarks there. Service: we had a table of 7 and had at least that many wrong orders sent to us. Service seemed very confused on who ordered what. And at the risk of sounding like 'one of those guys' service was lacking in welcoming friendliness, especially those behind the counter. Now I'm not expecting bells and whistles cheeriness, but also don't want to feel guilty for ordering. Atmosphere: The location is nice, it was sunny that day. Inside is cramped so not a good spot to go when rainy. Otherwise...
