1 Edith Walk, Great Malvern, Malvern WR14 4QH, United Kingdom
A fully plant based eatery and movement studio set in the heart of Great Malvern, with a focus on all things health. Owners Molly + Love are both vegan. The menu offers atleast 80% organic, local and seasonal produce. Raw food waste + coffee grinds go back to the earth!
Great service, kind staff and delicious food! Best choice of restaurant for our short trip to Malvern. Also dog friendly !
Great little vegan café in Great Malvern. There were open later they advertised which was great for a late lunch. The food was excellent and the apple juice was so fresh. They even have a loyalty scheme if you go regularly. Staff were friendly and food was quick, I'll go back again.
The food here is so good I had to come back 🙈🤤!! First I came during the week and went for the fritters, the flavour was so good it went together so well, the hollandaise was exceptional and really tied the whole dish together. I came back on a Sunday morning and the place was incredibly busy, which was a little stressful as I'd sat down and then ended up being trapped in but moved outside (although later found out they had seating upstairs!!) which would have been useful to know sooner. Anyways it was a gorgeous sunny day and I appreciate they were busy cause it was a very good place! The pancakes were one of the prettiest dishes I have ever been served. I do consider myself a pancake connoisseur and I have to say that the pancakes themselves didnt have that much flavour however what they served it with was wonderful the cream had a gorgeous almond taste and the cherry jam was sooo yummy (would have happily had a little more) and the bakewell crumble was divine. Id definitely try more of their dishes if I got the opportunity to do so!
Great cafe with lots of options to eat. The coffee was really good I had an Americano. The food was so tasty and came quickly. The staff were really nice and helpful. The setting is really nice we sat outside in the sun.
What an incredible little cafe! It's a 3 person show with 1 on the tills, 1 cooking everything and 1 making the drinks I don't know how they manage to make such wonder food at speed! We ended up ordering even more after finishing because it was just that good. Out of all the dishes are group tried the best 2 where the rainbow pancakes and the Tofu Egg cress sandwich which we got another serving off because of how good it was. All the staff were incredibly friendly and we'd definitely visit again if we were in the area.
We visited Rise after a lovely long walk on The Malverns. It is only a small place but we were made very welcome. The food was superb: "the best full English breakfast I've ever had" was one opinion. The tofu (egg) and cress sandwich was great and my burger was amazing. We loved our smoothies and coffees and the dessert (salted caramel chocolate tart) rounded things off perfectly. Everyone should go to this little gem of a place! The music playlist was brilliant as well :-)
Me and my wife went for lunch at Rise on 11th of August as we have been wanting to visit for awhile. The place looks nice and there is a good choice of food options for vegetarians. But sadly we were disappointed. We both had the two different pancake options as they seemed interesting compared to normal pancakes. My rainbow pancakes tasted nice and went well with the added mango and pineapple. However my wife’s pancakes were under cooked. The staff kindly replaced them but the tone when asking us if the new ones were ok kinda sounded like our fault. Sadly the negatives we found didn’t stop there. The many house plants at Rise looks lovely and we are all for them, but the amount of black flies that were coming off them was terrible and we had to move tables due to flies constantly landing on me. The other problem we noticed was cleanliness. The floor, skirting boards, toilet etc. all needed a good clean and didn’t seem like the place (not sure about the kitchen) was well cleaned after closing each day. While we don’t think Rise is bad more like average. If we were to go again, we certainly wouldn’t have the pancakes. Unfortunately I’m not sure that we will go again.
Besides the breathtaking view of Malvern Hills, this genuine and welcoming little vegan café was the highlight of our stay. Both my partner and I are huge foodies trying different vegan cuisines wherever we go, and Rise Plant Kitchen made us rethink of what we thought of delicious breakfasts. From their protein boosted omelette (which is THE right way to start your day) through their fully loaded toast and mind-blowing hollandaise covered phenomenon we finished our indulgence with their simply beautiful rainbow pancake. In the top of that their drink selection is one of a kind - just like their service. 5 stars and a heart is my final rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚
I love the vegan breakfast!
Very tasty food, friendly service, and good atmosphere!
Such a lovely place! Excellent almond croissant and a cosy sit down after a day in the hills!
Great cafe! Excellent food and service! Really pleased to be able to get gluten free vegan food!!!
Delicious food! Amazing flavours and big portions. The miso mushroom toast, and the tofu egg and cress were so good. We loved it and very relaxed inside with pur children too. Vegetarian options: All vegan Kid-friendliness: Great
I was so excited to come across this cafe with my daughter and my niece as we love plant based businesses and always support them but oh dear When walked in we were totally ignored and the atmosphere from the staff was not a friendly energy I stood at the till to make my order and yes you guessed it , I was totally ignored.. to the point I actually nearly left but a woman did eventually come over. We sat down and we were all thinking the same thing, drink up and leave, another couple sat to the left of us left without making an order- they were saying the same things as we were. I didn t even finish my drink! Very unfriendly and rather hostile little place, we all agreed that we would go back to the Bluebird Tea Cafe in future, they offer such a warm and friendly welcome, so much vegan food too! This place ruined our Saturday vibe! I would not return or recommend to anyone!
Excellent vegan food with a great selection of gluten-free options.
Edit: Another visit, did not disappoint. The harissa beans and fritters were absolutely gorgeous. Lovely. Just what I needed. Great food. Good selection. Friendly staff. I liked it so much I went two days on the trot.
Delicious food. Could improve on seating arrangements but other wise great lunch experience. Good food nice staff
Lovely cafe with incredible food! One of the best breakfasts weve had!
Excellent plant based cafe in Malvern. Best meal we had on a trip to Hereford and Worcester (although there was not much competition). We had quiche and salad and the falafal wrap, and both were well-presented, fresh and tasty, as was my partners green smoothie. Recommended
Wow, incredible vegan food and cake and Im not even vegan. So good. Youll have trouble choosing from the delicious menu!
Tasty food but we experienced very poor service. It was somewhat busy on the day we visited, though not heaving. We queued and ordered food at the counter and were told it would be about 30 minutes. 30 minutes later we were told they didnt in fact have enough of what we ordered, so wed have to change our order. Instead of taking our adjustment, however, we were told to go back to the bar and queue to re-order! We did this, standing in line for a few more minutes (the queue wasnt long, but they were being extremely slow at serving people) to change our order to something they had in stock. This should only have taken a moment, but the staff insisted we stand there while they struggled with their computer system to put the change in. Why did we need to stand there while they did this? No idea, but they insisted. They could surely have made a note of the change and put it in later when the computer was cooperating, or even just turned around and told the cook of the change - its only one room, the cook was in touching distance. Instead we stood waiting for a few more minutes. This was a bit annoying already, but ten minutes after wed sat down again they came to our table to tell us that another meal on our order was not in stock, and yet again we had to queue, then stand at the bar for five full minutes just to say omelette, I guess, since youve no burgers while the member of staff fiddled furiously with their iPad. By this time, an hour after wed first ordered and having spent twenty minutes standing up to fix their mess, our food finally arrived. Well, actually, three of the four peoples food did. The omelette needed longer, apparently. It sure did! The last persons meal arrived several minutes after the rest of us had finished. The food was very tasty! Though the jackfruit fish and chips we had were portioned a little meagerly. Ive given them two stars for service as they were at least friendly, though unfortunately our whole experience was soured by the service.
We dropped in for a wake-up shake-up smoothie, but the food smelled so good we ended up sharing a small plate of scrambled tofu on gluten free toast. It was absolutely delicious! So lucky to have this on our doorstep.
Popped into Rise after looking for somewhere with GF options after a long walk in the hills today. So glad we found it as the food was amazing! I had a gluten free BBQ jackfruit sandwich and could have happily ordered another one if we didnt have to shoot off. Also we took away a GF choc cake which was super tasty. Will happily go back and recommend it to others. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
We dont have anything negative to say about this place! Great coffee, great food, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, and great value for money. Were very lucky to have a great plant-based restaurant in Malvern! They are also dog friendly :)
Excellent freshly cooked food
Amazing food. Dog friendly. A great start to the day.
The Rise + Shine Wrap is really delicious! Vegetarian options: All the food is plant-based. Dietary restrictions: Perfect for a plant-based or dairy-free diet. Parking: There s plenty of parking nearby.
The absolute best place to eat at. The food is amazing (especially the rainbow pancakes) but the staff and owners are amazing. I always feel welcome at the cafe. 12/10 for food and 12/10 for service. Vegetarian options: I never felt like I was limited in ordering anything. Always felt like I was catered for and without scarfing taste or presentation
This is a great café. Imaginative and excellent dishes made with fresh ingredients. Very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. We really enjoyed the lunch! Very highly recommended.
I have attended classes at Rise for a while now, and I couldnt be happier. The studio is a beautiful space, and classes are just the right size to make it feel intimate and personal. My classes are led by Molly, who is an amazing trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, making workouts both effective and enjoyable. The classes provide a challenge while ensuring each person is working and their own level and are able to modify exercises as needed.
Lovely food and friendly helpful staff. Theres so many tempting dishes to choose from on the menu, it would be good to have photos to help the hungry to decide!
Rise was such a beautiful find today.I love it all. The energy of this place, the food,the concept,the service, we can feel the love and passion in everything! We had the soup,the quiche, the wrap and it was all delicious! Being a chef I find it hard to be pleased by the food and the presentation too but what a Gem this is It is all plant based so we could all enjoy everything . I will definitely return to try one of the event too.thank you! Vegetarian options: Everything is plant based
Lovely food :)
The team at Rise are a perfect example of true ambassadors for plant based cuisine. They have an extensive range of flavours and textures on a wonderfully curated menu. Choosing which dishes to have was our only dilemma See pics for reference. Welcoming staff.
The most incredible breakfast! Molly & Love have created the most beautiful cafe and the food is next level. I recommend Rise to all of my friends and people visiting Malvern. It is a gorgeous little place and I am so glad I found it. X
Had an amazing vegan breakfast here absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone vegan or not and the staff were lovely. Thank you so much!
A super little place just off the main High Street in Malvern. Super tasty, healthy grub served by two wonderful girls! We will be back! 100% recommend the Rainbow Pancakes Vegetarian options: Full Plant-Based menu
Nice cake. Sat outside as full inside so might be worth booking
Amazing food and super friendly
Incredible food,made and served with passion. Brilliant menu, fab service, and a really cosy chilled atmosphere
We have lots of fantastic vegan restaurants in London but this place is a cut above the rest. Such rich flavours, perfect portions and beautiful plating. The staff are also really lovely. Hands down the best vegan breakfast Ive had. Cant wait to return!
Stopped here for lunch today. The food was really good, very tasty and quite filling. And of course very healthy! The owners were really nice and friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit here again. Vegetarian options: The menu is totally plant based, so this is a vegan paradise.
My New favourite place to go for lunch when Im in town, the Hot Chocolate is out of this world. Everything Ive had to eat here is amazing. Love the Vibe of this place too.
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
What a wonderful place to experience the world of fantastic vegan food. I ve tried a new dish each time I ve been. A taste sensation each time, accompanied with lovely service on every occasion.
Delicious & unique menu with lots of variety. Many GF options for those who need. One-of-a- kind tucked away spot in this lovely town. Food
Tasty vegan food. Lovely staff. The reason I gave 4* rather than 5* is mainly due to the cost. We were charged £12 for a child size portion of pancakes with syrup. They were very small and I feel that was expensive. The presentation was excellent overall and food was very good.
I usually head here first whenever I am back in Worcestershire. So, as before, I checked the opening times on the website and google (9am), got here at 9:45, to be told by the staff inside that it isnt open until 10am this week. Theres no opening hours sign outside, and Ill come back to this. Returned shortly after 10am. One other couple ahead of me. Ordered my usual oatmilk latte, and a fairy cake, though thought £7.15 was somewhat steep. Sat down and waited. A man arrived and ordered. Original couple had their food. Then the man who ordered after me was given his food (perhaps because he knew the staff?). Then mine, 20+ minutes later, arrived. Again it was just a latte and a cupcake from the stand of them on the counter. Was given just a napkin for the cupcake so it was messy to eat (the person after me, who ordered a slice of cake and was served quickly, got his on a plate). On leaving, queried how much my order was and, after some admin, I had been overcharged. I did get a refund for the difference. Left, a bit dispirited by the experience. The most annoying thing is that this was NOT the first time Ive turned up within the opening hours to find the cafe was closed until later, but the owners hadnt bothered to change the website, or put a notice of any kind on the door. Sadly (I want to like and use this place, but see above) Im going to look for other, more reliable, options for vegetarian and vegan coffees, cakes and meals on future trips to Malvern.
I ve eaten at Rise quite a few times and every time the food has been so delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. I love stopping by just for coffee (though I can never resist the cake and often end up having a delicious cake too!). My daughter (who is a picky eater) loves the breakfast pots and smoothies and Rise is her favourite cafe :) Atmosphere is always so chilled and staff very friendly and attentive. I am very excited to try dinner this Friday as they are starting simple dinners - an amazing idea as Malvern needs good places to eat out in the evenings. Also, I am gluten free and there are always plenty of options for me. So happy to have such a great cafe in my local area, such a unique place Thank you Rise!! x
Rise is a rare and wonderful discovery, slightly hidden away in the heart of Malvern Vegans are fairly well catered for nowadays, but whole-food fully plant based meals that are so well nutritionally balanced are staggeringly difficult to find. Rise is hands down the best place we have found for whole-food plant based choice. This is a cafe for everyone; the food is fresh and healthy but is not weird or unfamiliar. The owners have clearly taken great care to create menus with high nutritional value and great flavours. This is *not* junk vegan food. The food looks and tastes like real food, and is beautifully presented. Rise serves healthy food at its finest. We visit several times a month and over the past year have tried almost everything from the menu; it is all excellent and always beautifully presented. The staff clearly enjoy their work and are friendly and professional. It is a very happy place to go for a drink or a meal and we are so glad that Rise will be open weekly on Friday evenings too now. Dietary restrictions: Whole food fully plant based menu with gluten and nut-free options Kid-friendliness: Children welcome and are often seen enjoying their meal
Loved the food, totally fresh and hot...both our meals were fabulous. Definitely a place I will visit again when we are back in the area? (The photo shows the corn dolly on the wall in the cafe). Food
Stopped for coffee, staff were very friendly and helpful. Coffee was good too!
Would Love to say was my first time at this lovely scenery place! With amazing vibes! and I was certainly amazed how the food is and the service! Love the place! Keep up the great work! Food
Wow. The scrambled egg is wonderful. Yum yum all round. What a lovely breakfast.
A cheeky find as my planned restaurant was closed! Outstanding place. Understood coeliac perfectly. Lots of gluten free options on the menu and the remainder apart from wrap options was gluten free option. Would definitely recommend and come again. We sat outside which was on a slight slope, but was fine, would have been a bit more challenging if you weren t steady on your feet. Plenty of seating inside and dogs welcomed. Dietary restrictions: Catered for coeliac and dairy free well.
I really loved Rise, only wish it was closer from where I live. I spent 3 days in Malvern and came here 4 times! I think it looks nice and relaxing, the service was friendly and the food is very good. We really enjoyed the aubergine curry and cauliflower bites from dinner menu. I think that chickpea omlet from day time menu was great and my favourite was tofu and cress sandwich. So simple but so absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed an interesting selection of drinks. Most items were either gluten free or could be ordered in a gluten-free option. Highly recommended. Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options
5 star isn t enough. Unbelievably glorious flavourful and scrumptiousness on a plate - and exquisitely presented! Tofu Benedict rich creamy hollandaise with firm flavoured tofu - and a fab knock out Rise + Shine breakfast with its hearty silky pepper walnut cream spread
Gorgeous and extensive menu for plant based and gluten free options, lovely calm atmosphere, and a great team.
Fancy a hearty meal after a hard mornings hike in the Malvern Hills? This is the place with an entirely vegan menu full of breakfast and lunch items (theres 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 youve 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, theres an all-gender toilet at the back. Be wary theres a step at the entrance door to overcome if youre in a wheelchair. Overall, an excellent place in Great Malvern to solve your hunger during the day. Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: All items are vegan. Dietary restrictions: Items are clearly marked on the menu as gluten free (GF), with a gluten free option (GFO) and containing nuts (N). Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with a baby high chair available too. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step to get over to enter the café.
The food was amazing - the protein omelette was one of the best omelettes Ive ever had! The ice coffee was also really good so Ill definitely come back if I have the chance :)
Im not vegan, but the food was great. Amazing coffee. Actually the coffee was one of the best Ive had. Very smooth. Wish I could eat there for breakfast every day. Food : 5/5
My absolute FAVE café in Malvern, I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am here every week eating their super delicious, healthy food. My favourite is their amazing Rainbow Pancakes, I literally cant get enough. I have brought my whole family here and they all love it too, even my brother travels from Brum to eat here. The girls are super lovely and friendly :) LOVE LOVE LOVE :)
Really enjoyed brunch here! So exciting for Malvern to have more vegan options!!
I had a really super yummy scrambled tofu sandwich, my partner had the miso mushroom toast, wow! A fantastic little place with delicious food, my favourite combo! Please visit, the best place in Malvern for vegans (and anyone else).
Rise is a blessing to Malvern, Rise is the best plant-based cafe! Food is healthy and delicious, staff are lovely and kind and always a great atmosphere! Highly recommend!
Amazing food, delicious and healthy. very nice waiter and easy atmosphere Vegetarian options: Truely plant based and very tasty Food : 5/5 |
Fabulous Breakfast here with lovely staff!
Delicious plant based food & lovely atmosphere! Staff are really nice! Will come back soon
I tried the rise and shine breakfast, the chef was really accomodating of my allergy and the food was so tasty. Had a hot chocolate too which was really creamy, atmosphere was very chilled and friendly. Definitely recommend a visit!
Wow, what a find. Found Rise by accident and so glad I did. Its a new place and nice and fresh and bright with very helpful staff who were very knowledgeable (even with my allergies), I had the Dahl which was very good. Ill visit again when next near Malvern.
A lovely chilled café and a really friendly helpful team. I tried the protein omelette which was amazing and quite filling too. Coffee was perfectly made and of excellent quality too. Its so nice to have a local plant based / vegan cafe in Malvern. You havent seen the last of me, Ill be back soon.
Delicious Macha Latte, lovely friendly service and nice, relaxing space, recommended.
A perfect place for Sunday breakfast, will be back very soon
Visited today and tried the Blue Moon Mylk and Banana loaf! Absolutely delicious So happy to see a vegan cafe open in Malvern and highly recommend everyone pops in for a visit
went especially for breakfast and the food was amazing! both myself and my friend loved it. decor and atmosphere were excellent too
Good looking omelette Also very tasty!
Such a lovely relaxing spot! Already had to go back again, tried both the rainbow pancakes and the miso mushroom toast, everything looks and tastes beautiful! Im not vegan and I still absolutely loved it! Well worth a visit or two!
Lovely space. Delicious vegan food. Great service. Will be returning very soon. All vegan and 80% Organic. So glad this is on my doorstep.
Ive been here a couple of times now and had such a lovely time. The coffee is amazing, and there are so many hot and cold drinks to choose from. Both times Ive had the rainbow pancakes and I honestly cant believe they are completely plant based! Its in a very convenient location for anyone visiting or walking in Malvern. Im really looking forward to spending more time there and attending some of the classes in the studio upstairs
A pleasant and peaceful clean little cafe
Delicious vegan breakfast! Went on a Saturday morning, the cafe opens at 8:30, but they dont normally serve hot food until 9am. Really nice selection of options, we had the rise + shine breakfast, tofu benedict and rainbow pancakes between the three of us. They also have a selection of sandwiches and cakes that you can take away. Would certainly visit again
Lovely vegan food and outanding coffee. Charming staff as well. Just what Malvern needed!
I really nice place to eat food that nourishes you, tastes great, is cruelty free and made and served by the smiling team who obviously want to be there doing what they do so well. Can t wait to come back for more.
The best vegan food in Malvern. Hands down. Wonderful happy and welcoming staff. If I could give six stars I would.
Really nice little cafe, staff were lovely and the food delicious. Definitely recommend the smoothies!
Amazing vegan food. Clean place with very friendly staff. Will definitely be heading back
Lovely relaxing cafe selling delicious wholesome vegan food. Lovely staff helpful staff.
On hols in Great Malvern and ate here several times. The food was delicious. I especially liked the smoothies, and protein omelette. The omelette was fantastic! Also had a very nice breakfast and pancakes.
Amazing scrambled tofu
What a fantastic find, menu is great with lots of tempting options in a nice calming atmosphere. So nice to see these young girls making a go of it and I wish them all the luck in the world. Will definitely be back
Awesome food and smoothies. One of the best vegan brekkies I have had. My partner had the pancakes which she said were incredible also. Really friendly staff too.
Really enjoy the selection of food and drink on offer. I last had a turmeric mylk tea with an amazing cake. The people there are very friendly.
Great little space in Malvern for delicious (healthy!) vegan food. The rainbow pancakes are incredible and the service is fantastic. Top marks all round!
Nice atmospher, freshly made stuffs, independent business. We were not vegans but me and my partner really enjoyed it - Highly recommend!
Excellent vegan cuisine! We came across this little café/restaurant by chance and fell in love. The interior is very lovingly designed and the owners cook excellently. If you go hiking in the mountains beforehand, you should definitely stop here for refreshment.
This place came recommended by locals and oh my goodness the food and coffee is divine! The coconut latte is genuinely the best latte I have ever had. They have a lovely choice of interesting lattes and adaptogenic hot drinks. We got the Bali burger (peanut butter tempeh) which we must try and make at home as it was mouth watering, and the Earth bowl which was beautifully prepared. The chef is very talented here, and the team are lovely and welcoming. I would highly recommend.
Delightful place. Delicious nutritious food and amazing smoothies. Lovely service and pleasant environment.
Excellent vegan food. Highly recommended. Dog friendly. Vegetarian options: Good vegan options
Such a nice place. Food was absolutely incredible, and the smoothie was too. Linda was very friendly as was Megan. I spent a happy hour there and would definitely go back. Matt Bright Vegetarian options: Vegan
The worst part about moving away from Malvern is no longer having this gem around the corner. Since they opened in February it has been a home from home. The beautifully curated yoga practices in their tranquil studio never failed to brighten my day, especially when followed by the best coffee! Whether you are looking for coffee, food or classes, you cant go wrong with Rise!
Delicious Food by Two Lovely Girls
Excellent plant based breakfast! My partner and I shared a full breakfast and a stack of loaded pancakes and both were delicious. A great gem in Malvern! Vegetarian options: Full vegan menu
Its very rare that I can pick from everything on a menu (Im on a gluten-free and plant-based diet). So many delicious and varied options all prepared fresh in a small, colourful and cosy environment. Really looking forward to visiting again to try out more of the choices!
Absolutely delicious food. Would go all the time if I lived here. I had the chickpea omelette and it was so tasty. Vegan Gluten free options Dog friendly
Food was absolutely delicious (and very healthy). Service with a smile. Vegetarian options: All veggi Dietary restrictions: Coeliac
