Smaller space, BIGGER presence!
We are honored and thrilled to announce that Rise Up Cafe is among the ranks of several other esteemed establishments in Sarasota to be chosen to operate a location at the SRQ airport!! This is HUGE for our team of dedicated employees to be seen and interact with an infinite number of people everyday, reaching far beyond the limits of our current location. With that, we are closing our downtown cafe (end of day) Saturday February 25th to focus on the expanded opportunity at the airport along with our collaborations with The Haven - that we guarantee will have a massively positive impact on the lives of the people we serve. We thank you all for your support in the first stages of our development and now it’s time to FLY ✈️ at the SRQ airport! Bring. It. On. 🤘🏼

SRQ airport saw over 4.3 MILLION passengers pass through in 2023! Let’s see if we can educate people from all around the globe the value of hiring people with disabilities!!

Our work doesn’t end at the espresso machine. On this frigid Saturday night, we are building new and better programs that go beyond the technical skills required to work in the cafe. We are in the business of creating connections that you can feel but not necessarily see. 🌟 We. Are. Magic. 🌟Excited to share more as we move forward in our efforts to build up our community in some very creative ways. A big shout out to Patti, our creative and caring night manager for sharing this resource with me. 🙏
