Meet the Rising Roll Gourmet Cafe!

And that’s not all—adding a wonderful touch to this exciting project, the popular Rising Roll Gourmet Cafe will be opening a location right on the new health sciences campus! This cafe is not just for the students, faculty, and staff at the medical school; it aims to welcome the entire community, making it a perfect spot for anyone looking for a tasty bite.

Delicious Mouthfuls Await!

Once operational, the cafe will boast a menu filled with a variety of delicious options.

Whether you’re rushing between classes or just looking for a leisurely lunch with friends, Rising Roll promises to offer something for everyone.

A Taste of Tradition

This isn’t the cafe’s first rodeo! Rising Roll already has established locations across several states including Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia, and Texas. Many of these locations are conveniently situated on university campuses, so they are well-acquainted with the needs of students and faculty alike. Now, the USC community can add their own local Rising Roll to the mix!

What’s Inside the Medical School?

The district is already home to a plethora of amenities, including hundreds of apartments, various stores, a Starbucks for that much-needed coffee fix, and even a spot for local sports fans to catch a Columbia Fireflies game!

New Businesses Join the Neighborhood!

But wait, there’s more! The BullStreet District isn’t just stopping at the medical school and Rising Roll. Several other exciting new businesses have recently opened their doors or are set to open soon. New additions include a fitness studio called Pvolve, the lively Shuckin’ Shack restaurant, and Methodical Coffee for coffee enthusiasts! You can also look forward to the arrival of Tupelo Honey restaurant in February 2025. Yummy times ahead!
