Fancy a hearty meal after a hard morning's hike in the Malvern Hills? This is the place with an entirely vegan menu full of breakfast and lunch items (there's even dinner on Friday evenings). Rise is a small cafe with indoor and outdoor tables. The interior decor has a lovely summery feel to it and feels welcoming from the get-go. Upon arrival you can sit where you like; the separate food and drinks menus are at the till and once you've decided you can put an order in at the same place where one of the two lovely female staff will take your order. If paying by card, they accept AmEx. They use seasonal fresh produce for their food, and my does it show: Not only are their dishes beautifully presented when they arrive, they taste incredible too - I had the cooked breakfast which had such a good range of flavours and textures, from the crispy toast to the flavoursome scrambled tofu, complemented by soft avocado slices and beans. After a bit of a workout you can get Vivo Protein powder added to a smoothie - I had the Green Goddess which was delicious and just the right level of thickness. In terms of the rest of the cafe, there's an all-gender toilet at the back. Be wary there's a step at the entrance door to overcome if you're in a wheelchair. Overall, an excellent place in Great Malvern to solve your hunger during the day. Highly recommended!

My husband and I have been coming to the cafe fairly regularly for about a year now and we started our yoga classes with Love last autumn. I must wholeheartedly say Rise is only going from strength to strength! From intricate vegan menus and amazing smoothies to mindful movement classes, this is the place to go for holistic health. And if you need more proof, I’ve attached some pancake masterpiece photos 😉
