A coffee and ice cream shop with a mission!
Inclusion. Jobs. Dignity.
At Rise & Nye's, we provide secure, successful jobs which in turn help our employees form meaningful friendships with their peers; live independently; improve their public speaking, develop self-advocacy and communication skills; and feel valued and included by society. We celebrate and honor their special abilities!
It's an Inclusion Revolution!
Integrated employment,
front and center
For too long, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have been kept in the shadows. Rise & Nye's is about inclusion, acceptance and opportunity for all. Visit us in our awesome flagship shop, right in the middle of downtown Sarasota, Florida.
Dignity and Respect
Great coffee and ice cream in an inspiring environment
Slow down, enjoy delicious coffee and gourmet ice cream treats while you spend time with our amazing Rise & Nye's team members.

Inclusion Revolution
It took a vision and a village to establish and cultivate our coffee and ice cream shop, Rise & Nye's. Many thanks to our generous partners.

Which nitro coldbrew will tickle your fancy today? Stout Truffle, Strawberry Blonde Hibiscus, Maple Vanilla, Blueberry Basil, Stout, or Horchata? But, wait — maybe even toss in a scoop of our house-made vanilla ice cream for a rockin' coldbrew float!

Stop by Rise & Nye’s today to grab one (or 3!) of our cool Ride Together Rise Together t-shirts. Adventure For All athletes will be setting up shop between 1:45 and 3:15. Let’s give them some support. And how about USA Olympian, Jake Ilardi getting some air over Chase Pettey?! Now that was something to see. #InclusionRevolution #inclusion #sarasota #abilities @adventureforallfund @jakeilardi @nathanbendersonpark

Boy, was that ever something! Our first Big Beignet Eating Championship was a big hit and big fun. 20-some “athletes” competed - congrats to Jackson and Apollo for winning the adult and youth categories, and a shoutout to Tricia for notching an impressive second place in the 1-minute overtime runoff. #inclusion #beignets #bigbeigneteatingchampionship #sarasota #nonprofit #inclusionrevolution #allwerewinners
