Rise & Grind Closes, But Not Forever | Milwaukee News

Rise & Grind Cafe, beloved for its espresso, soul food brunch, and community vibes, has shut down its Harambee location after eight years — but not forever. Co-owner Baboonie Tatum, who’s prioritizing health and family, called it a labor of love and a hub for memories. Though operations ended in early July, seniors still get meals through July 27, and Poetry & Pancakes returns Aug 8. The cafe’s been through pandemic closures and burglaries before — and now Tatum’s regrouping, working with KG Development on a new site, and eyeing a smaller, future comeback. This chapter ends, but the heart of the cafe? Still very much alive. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
