Rising Trout Cafe & Book Store

Rising Trout was an interesting place to go for breakfast. It is an eclectic little coffee shop with decent seating options, books for sale, and fun decor. Having food allergies, I wasn't too optimistic about items I might be able to eat. There was one gluten-free option, nothing dairy free other than the two alertanive milks used in coffees. Things were clean, but I could see the potential for cross contamination. So watch out for that. I had a Chai latte with almond milk. It was tasty. My husband said he really enjoyed the breakfast food and was impressed with the coffee. Kuddos to the staff and the atmosphere. We would return. I'm giving a lower rating for lack of allergy friendly food items, but all around a good place to stop.

There was really no coffee to be seen in the coffee shop. All the coffee bins were empty, so no selection. The latte and dirty chai were good and she was really nice to us. There were some Monster cookies/gluten free that were awesome and chocolate chip cookies that were ok. No other food available. There were maybe 20 books in the book section, so wouldn't call it a bookshop or even mention it being a bookshop. I would take that space and make it into those free/trade books. Other coffee shops I've been to make this a success.
