Based upon my recent visit to Rising Star, I would have to say that is just OK. I love pour over coffee because I believe that you can taste the specialty flavors very well in this style. The pour over coffee I ordered recently was great! I believe it was from Ethiopia. However, it was not worth the $4 I paid for it! Definitely not worth quite that much money.
Now, I feel I must discuss my recent (4/6/17) service I experienced. The waiter was very standoffish and was rude when I accidentally thought a batch coffee option was available as a pour over option. I also ordered a bagel as well, and he did not even ask me if I wanted it toasted! I also asked him which spread would go best with the bagel and while he helped me decide, he seemed like he did not care enjoyed if I enjoyed the food or not.
The price I paid for the bagel and the coffee was not worth it based upon the service I received. If an establishment claims to serve upscale artisan coffee, the staff should know how to educate their customers on how to choose the right coffee and food to go with.
