Rise Up Coffee was created from a passion for exceptional coffee and a desire to make a positive difference. Based in Cambridgeshire, Rise Up Coffee brings ethically sourced Ugandan beans — carefully selected for their rich, bold flavour — to UK coffee lovers who care about quality and community. Every cup tells a story of connection, supporting initiatives that uplift and empower communities in Uganda. We believe great coffee should not only taste good but also do good. From the growers who nurture each bean to the customers who enjoy every sip, Rise Up Coffee is built on respect, sustainability, and shared purpose. Whether serving from our mobile coffee trailer or brewing at local markets, we’re proud to share coffee that’s made with heart and driven by impact.
After many years in hospitality, Luke transitioned into engineering — but his passion for coffee never left. Having spent a decade visiting Uganda and witnessing inequalities firsthand, Luke was inspired to combine his love for great coffee with a drive to create positive change. The result is Rise Up Coffee — a brand built on quality, community, and purpose.
