WELCOME TO RISE
Where every sip and bite you enjoy fuels a brighter future for our community.
Right at the border of Thurgoona and Lavington, our super-friendly ethical café is all about supporting local folks living with a disability and giving a boost to vulnerable youth.
When you step in, you’ll instantly feel the laid-back atmosphere with our outdoor gardens, friendly community hangout, and super comfy up-cycled furniture (a bunch of it comes from our neighbours at The Buzz, Kirinari’s day program for adults with disabilities).
We’re open:
6 am – 3 pm on weekdays and
7 am – 4 pm on Saturdays.
Whether you’re seeking the perfect coffee to kickstart your day, a delicious meal to satisfy your appetite, or a welcoming space to catch up with friends, family and colleagues, come on over to Rise.
OUR STORY
We’re not just a cafe, we’re a force for positive change.
Our story is one of compassion, empowerment, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
Our journey began with a simple vision – to create a space where everyone is welcome, and where the act of enjoying delicious food and drinks could serve as a catalyst for change.
We’ve crafted an environment that goes beyond brick and mortar, resonating with warmth and inclusivity.
A proud affiliate of Kirinari Community Services, Rise’s profits are devoted to empowering the lives of local individuals living with a disability, fostering their participation and enrichment.
Crafting community, one cup at a time.

We donate 100% of our café profits to empowering local people with disability.
But did you know that our profits from the catering arm of the business are donated to our partners, Boys to the Bush (BttB) to run their Albury Breakfast Club? BttB is a charity that focuses on preventative and early intervention strategies for ‘disengaged’ young males. It has a proven history of being able to engage with and improve outcomes, for some of our communities’ most vulnerable youth.
