WELCOME TO RISE
Where every bite and sip contributes to something bigger.
Nestled on the border of Thurgoona and Lavington, Rise Espresso is more than just a café—it’s a place where every cup supports a cause. Proceeds from your visit directly empower locals with disabilities, while also supporting vulnerable youth.
Come for the delicious brews, stay for the relaxed, inviting atmosphere. Surrounded by lush gardens with a cozy community vibe, Rise Espresso invites you to settle in and stay a while. With unique furniture handcrafted next door at Kirinari’s Day Program, it’s a spot that’s as inspiring as it is hard to leave.
We’re open:
6 am – 3 pm on weekdays and
7 am – 4 pm on Saturdays.
Whether you’re fuelling up, filling up or catching up, Rise Espresso is the perfect spot to sip, savour, and stay a while.
OUR STORY
We’re more than just a café, we’re a movement for good.
At Rise Espresso, everything we do is built on compassion, empowerment, and a commitment to making a real difference.
It all started with a simple idea – to create a space where everyone feels at home, and where every bite and brew can spark meaningful change. Our café goes beyond brick and mortar; it’s a place filled with warmth and inclusivity.
As a proud part of Kirinari Community Services, every dollar you spend helps empower locals with disabilities, creating opportunities for them to thrive and fully engage in our community.
Crafting community, one cup at a time.

At Rise, 100% of our café profits go straight into empowering locals living with disabilities.
But here’s something you might not know: our catering profits are donated to our partners, Boys to the Bush (BttB), to help 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. When you choose Rise, you choose to support local empowerment, create positive change, and help build a stronger, more connected community.
