Rise & Grind Coffee Co — Restaurant in Mathis

Service with a smile AND good coffee. What more can we ask for? Please give them a try!

I don't live near here, unfortunately. However, I was on a road trip and was REALLY wanting a coffee. (I have recently cut out all processed foods and sugars from my diet and for the past 2 weeks have been brewing my own coffee at home.) So this was my first experience trying to find a black coffee (with a splash of half and half that I could drink!) So I searched Google maps for coffee shops along my route and this popped up, so that's how I arrived there, with no knowledge of anything else about it.

In my short drive there, I had conjured up a vision of a small building, where when you walk in you get an amazing aroma of various coffees. So I was slightly disappointed when I arrived and it was strictly a drive through business, but my disappointment faded just as quickly as it came when I was greeted by a smiling face. I was hoping for something like a Pecan brew, or Hazelnut brew, but I was advised they have only one brew. So, I ordered a medium black coffee with a splash of half and half. I paid and drove to the second window and my coffee was ready really quickly. She started to hand it to me and then I remembered that I'm driving and it might be too hot, so I asked if she could add a couple of ice cubes. She happily obliged and then reappeared at the window with my coffee and a smile. (I had stopped about 10 minutes before that and gotten gas and an Exxon coffee, which was terribly bitter and awful, and I kindly asked if she could dispose of it for me and she happily obliged.)

As I pulled away I took a careful sip and the temperature was perfect and it was so smooth!! I was really impressed with this amazing cup of coffee!! If there was one near me, I'd definitely be going there often!

Please stop by and give them a chance. (I only got the black coffee and it was so good, so I can only imagine how good it would be with the added flavors they had available.)

It's hard to find good service these days, so I'm taking the time to write this long review and say THANK YOU! (I wish I would have gotten the employee's name to compliment her personally. I went by...

Usually love it here and love the friendliness while supporting BA businesses. But today, I went to order an item off the menu and it rang up more than the menu stated. I inquired as to why the higher pricing and was told the register has the most up to date pricing and it’s higher than the menu. Why have a menu with prices if that price isn’t accurate and won’t be honored? So watch your bill and make sure you are truly paying what you are anticipating to pay. The experience probably would not have been as frustrating, if the employee at the register would have been more understanding of the situation. She was very dismissive, and had a very “that’s the way it is, pay it or...

Unfortunately we didn’t get to try the coffee, we weren’t sure the procedure but saw a helper at the other window so went to that side. We were first in line 4 cars behind us, they opened the window and said to go back around in the line behind all the people that came after us - because there was only one worker as the second one had to go get ice. The ice machine was right across from them - maybe 10 steps outside. Expectation was to have said I’m so sorry for any confusion - what can we get you - So we left instead of getting back in line we left. My daughter worked in the food industry so knows how...
