Rise Up Cafe Coffee shop
Magical coffee shops! We're thrilled to announce that Rise Up Cafe has been chosen to operate a location at the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ). This is HUGE for our team of dedicated employees — to be seen and interact with 12,000-plus people everyday, reaching far beyond the limits of our current shop — what an impact on the lives of the people we serve and our customers alike. With that, we’ve closed our downtown Sarasota cafe to concentrate on the expanded opportunity at SRQ Airport along with a continued focus on job and social skills training for hundreds of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We thank you all for your support in the first stages of our development, and now it’s time to FLY!
Gelato-go Sarasota and Coffee Coffee shop

We serve you a healthier product by using milk which does not contain artificial hormones or antibiotics.
