Sip Slowly

A European Café Vibe in the Heart of Downtown

At The Rise Coffee Bar, intentional simplicity meets exceptional flavor. While our specialty espresso drinks are crafted from premium coffee blends, our atmosphere is designed entirely around lingering. In other words, this is not a rush-in, rush-out experience.

Instead, The Rise invites you to stay awhile. As conversations unfold over cappuccinos and laptops open across café tables, visitors and locals naturally gather together. Then, between sips, many wander off toward the shops and galleries lining King Street, knowing that another cup awaits whenever they return.

The Rise Coffee
Steps From Everything

Coffee Near King Street, Right Where You’re Staying

Conveniently located inside The Restoration Hotel, The Rise sits at the center of downtown, making it an easy choice when searching for a coffee shop near King Street in Charleston. Since hotel guests can step straight from their suites into the café, mornings flow seamlessly from bed to brew. Meanwhile, locals and day visitors arrive directly from the street to savor a quick cup or settle in for a longer visit.

As you venture back outside, you’re already surrounded by Charleston’s boutiques, historic streets, and cultural destinations. Therefore, The Rise becomes not just a coffee stop, but a natural anchor to your day in the city.

Where Your Cup Begins

Proudly Roasted by Foresight Coffee

At The Rise Coffee Bar, every cup begins with our local roasting partner, Foresight Coffee, a family-owned specialty roaster based in downtown Charleston. With more than 30 years of experience, Foresight focuses on precision roasting and quality sourcing. As a result, every blend delivers consistent depth and balance.

Because Foresight uses both advanced sorting technology and small-batch roasting methods, no detail is overlooked. Meanwhile, ethical sourcing ensures that each single-origin bean meets strict standards long before it reaches the roaster. From there, every roast profile is refined to highlight natural flavors rather than overpower them.

In addition, The Rise brews exclusive custom Foresight blends daily. Whether you’re enjoying a creamy latte, a bold cold brew, or a classic cappuccino, your drink reflects Charleston craftsmanship, carefully poured into every cup.
