My experience was wonderful! We stopped in for brunch and it was Awesome! The hostess was friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly, it was fresh and cooked perfectly. I don't have a single complaint with this place and would recommend them to anyone.

We are here based off yelp reviews. Let me start by saying I can defiantly agree with other yelpers when we arrived it's pretty small on the inside and it was packed. We were told just a few minutes for a wait. While we waited it did seem a little chaotic. The hostess was rarely at the hostess station and they didn't have a busser so the wait staff was trying to juggle their tables and bussing too. So out visit did start off rocky ended up waiting almost 15 mins after we were told 5 mins. HOWEVER, as once we were seated things began to drastically improve. Our waitress came over we ordered drinks. I kid you not 5 minutes after she brought out drinks (we ordered at the same time we gave our drink order) our food came out. We couldn't believe how fast the food came out. Food was great!!! I love that they idea of building your own breakfast burrito. They had black beans which you can almost NEVER find at breakfast places so I was over the moon about being able to customize my burrito w black beans. Also for the kids breakfast you could do a pick 3 for any breakfast items (again loved this) bc my kids are vegetarian and it's almost impossible to find breakfast places that have kids breakfasts w /o meat as an option (at other places we always get it their breakfast w out meat but are still charged even though they don't get it). So we were able to order them pancakes potatoes and fruit. Another plus it was fresh fruit (strawberries blueberries pineapples and grapes) loved that!! Also, some of the friendliest service ever our burritos came w salsa and when we ordered we asked for a small side of sour cream when our server brought our food she informed us they didn't have any (which was fine) literally 5 minutes later it must have been the owner comes over with a small cup of sour cream she had gone next door to get us some. I literally couldn't believe it. In my opinion that's a+ service. Hopefully they get some of the kinks for seating/greeting guests bc this is a great little breakfast joint

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed lunch--we both agreed they were the most delicious, fresh, healthy salads we had ever eaten! The Rise & Shine Cafe lives up to its name as a breakfast and lunch diner, but no greasy spoon here! The atmosphere is cheery and very clean, the service was perfect! Definitely plan on returning often to support this special Mom and Pop establishment! Oh, and by the way, the banana muffins are to die for!!!
(5)Karen H.
We went for breakfast and the food was amazing! Made to order and really fresh food! Try the egg scrambler & waffles!!
(5)Jeff S.
Fantastic breakfast....Had the Breakfast Scrambler...wife had Acorn Alley Omelet.....1st time there. Guaranteed to be back.
(5)Bob P.
Wonderful little establishment. I ordered the "Rise and Shine" breakfast special. Two eggs, choice of meat, hash browns and either toast or fresh fruit. Delicious. That with a tall glass of OJ was the perfect start to the day. The hostess who also doubled as the waitress was very attentive. The coffee cups were always full. The orders were taken and they were correct the first time out. With two friends who also ordered the special, the bill was $25, tax included. Not bad at all!
(5)McKenzie A.
So happy my roommate introduced me to this hidden gem. The service is quick, the coffee is awesome (which comes from Tree City next door), and the breakfast is amazing. It is a smaller place, so there may be a wait, but it is well worth it. I reccomend this to any and all breakfast lovers. Tip: Get the French Toast. It is delicious!
(5)Sumita R.
Loved this place! We went yesterday morning and I'm so glad we called ahead and put our names in! We were seated immediately, otherwise there looked to be about a 20 min wait. This place is open kitchen style so you can see all of your food being cooked. I had the "up and at 'em' and it was a huge amount of food. The breakfast potatoes were delicious and my pancakes were so tasty. My friends and I all agreed that the food was very fresh and not greasy, a huge plus! The service was good as well. There was a small issue with my friend's waffle and they whisked it away and replaced it with something else immediately and took it off the bill and did not charge her for the replacement. Such friendly and hassle free service! Try this place, you won't regret it! I will definitely be back!

To clarify, Food 4 stars Lag-time 1 star. Queue to be seated, small dining area, miniscule kitchen. No one was inclined tp leave, so after 10 minites or so we were seated at the emercency table directly outside the bathrooms. They have a designated drink person, so they arrived in a timely fashion, but the kitchen just ain't equiped for the size of the seating area, or it's not well staffed back there or both. The wait HAD to have been knocking on the door of an hour.... Long enough that I entertained requesting my breakfast order be changed to a luncheon order, fully confident that preparation of my original order had not yet begun. My wife got Eggs Benedict which she stated were the best she had ever been served. Each component earned praise independent of the other, and the whole got even more! I got their " rise and shine breakfast", into which I have inserted two "wait"s and an "and" immediately following "rise" for the sake of accuracy. It consisted of one's choice of pancakes or French toast, choice of breakfast protein, eggs and hash browns. All were nicely done, but none of exceptional note, except that they were ALL nicely done, no weak links taking up space on the plate. All waitstaff were efficient and Personable. Despte the fact that there were several heretofore unseen empty tables when we went up to pay our bill, there was a queue there as well. They seem to do quite a carry-out business, much of it breakfast fare, which is a new experience to the writer, but this is a college-town, so somewhere out there are some happy dormies munching on take-out breakfast! Street and public lot parking as we are right downtown, bring extra change for the meter if you happen here on a weekend!

This is a hidden gem in Kent that people are just now finding out about. A great place for a solid breakfast that isn't greasy or full of salt. Everything is cooked to perfection and the service is really great. Their waffles are also ON POINT. Love 'em. The staff is friendly, and the food comes out quick. It's almost always packed on the weekend mornings and there is only one hostess. So if you have to wait a few minutes, just be patient. The place is also pretty small, but that gets better in the warmer months when they open their outdoor seating. My advice: Don't go here with a big group unless you are going early. I prefer going here when I'm in a group of 3 or less people. You will get seated much faster and you won't be so crammed at the table.

As a frequent customer of Tree City Coffee over in Kent, I always passed by this café and today I decided to give it a try. I'm a HUGE fan of breakfast, to put it simply - it's my favorite meal of the day. So I was hoping this place would turn out to be a gem, but I have mixed feelings. The staff was very friendly, great service, and the food was pretty tasty. My only real qualm with this place was the overwhelming smell of the kitchen grease... and when you're a little hung over (as I was), it became very obnoxious. They designed this restaurant to have an open kitchen so that it gives the place a modern diner feel, and because of that, you're exposed to a strong greasy odor. Honestly, I would love to go back there sometime when they fix their ventilation issues. I'll even update this review to give them an extra star if they do. Don't let my review deter you from visiting though, they do have outdoor seating! I didn't sit outside because it was too cold today, but it would be a nice place to grab a meal on a sunny day.

Do you want a healthy home cooked style breakfast?! Look no further than rise and shine! This was my first time in here for breakfast and I am beyond impressed. Rise and Shine is a tucked in right next to Tree City coffee. It's on the smaller side for size but it's perfect. My entire breakfast was delicious! Everything from the home fries to the French toast was so tasty! The bacon was cooked on the crispy but not too crispy side! Love it! Their coffee even comes from Tree City next door. I would come back here again and again for breakfast. 5 stars for food and service!
(5)Tyisha A.
I love this place. Their portions are pretty big for a cheap price. I always get the Rise and Shine breakfast.
(5)Ashley T.
My new favorite place for breakfast!!! Their omlettes are awesome. Seriously the best I've ever had. Also, the waitress was beyond friendly. I have some eating restrictions and she was so amazing and offered me extra veggies in place of the food I couldn't eat and didn't make it an awkward situation like a lot of servers. I'll definitely be back.
(5)Michael H.
Horrible service, food sat in the window for 20 minutes before it was delivered. How can service be so bad at a little place like this? And they shouldn't be stacking plates on top of each other in the window with food on them
(1)Katherine L.
This place is a wonderful place to get breakfast or brunch. The service is super fast and friendly, the food is delicious and plentiful. There is a big focus on local food while still maintaining a good diner feel.
(5)Daniel R.
The bottom review on this page was surprisingly negative! I very much enjoyed my time there. The room was very bright and colorful (a lot of yellow), and the servers were friendly. They had 2 or 3 open tables almost the whole time, so there was no wait, but they were busy enough that it had a nice atmosphere. My food wasn't bad, either! (Pictures included below, plus those of family's). I would totally go back for more.
(4)Kaitlin K.
I LOVE Rise and Shine! My boyfriend and I come here almost every weekend. It's a cute, locally owned, breakfast/lunch place right in downtown Kent. Great prices and great food. They just recently opened during nighttime hours on the weekends to attract the "drunken munchies" people at the bars - what a great idea! Easy to walk to from the bars and way better than Denny's or IHOP. Great place!
(5)Elaine N.
I'm not sure why Rise and Shine has such negative reviews, because everything was great during my visit. There was no wait when I went with two girlfriends. Our server was friendly and very helpful since I do not eat bread she was more than willing to substitute other things for the bread. I got a spinach salad and chicken blt wrap (minus the tortilla) for 6.99. You can't beat that! I would much rather come here than your local Bob Evans. Delicious food and great service!
(4)Brad L.
Watch out, they have a griddle, and they know how to use it. I love a good diner style two-egg breakfast and Rise & Shine was happy to oblige. The home fries in particular were nice big chunks of potato grilled perfectly with crispy bits included. Service was friendly and fast and the food was good. I would definitely recommend.
(5)Matthew R.
This was my last breakfast here. My experience was sub-par due to multiple reasons. My home fries had 3-4 burnt-to-a-crisp pieces of potatoes they stuck out like an eyesore. My scrambled eggs with cheddar had a minuscule taste of peanut butter (CROSS CONTAMINATION, my worst pet peeve!! ugh!!). The service was only "Okay". The woman serving me was polite but seemed stressed, which conveys heavily to the customer. The kitchen, which was not clean to the eye (open kitchen concept), was heavily staffed for the amount of customers present and my food still took 18 minutes to hit my table after ordering due to only two servers on the floor. There was only one kitchen member wearing a hat or protective headwear. (another HUGE pet peeve), and I witnessed the young man in the kitchen take his hat off, WHILE COOKING OVER MY PAN OF EGGS, and scratch his head with gloves on. He then put his cap back on and plated my eggs, without changing his gloves. I noticed a slew of other kitchen imperfections that warrant my rant as I have a background in kitchen management and health code experience (as a source of my visual inspection). Running a clean kitchen is of the utmost importance. This expectation is only amplified by an open kitchen atmosphere. Upon finishing my meal, my check was slipped by my table eagerly as to clear me ASAP (customer perception: whether she was rushing me or not is up to me to decide. and I felt rushed). As I walk up to the register with my check, my server didn't care to ask how my meal was. So none of this information was conveyed to her and her team. This disappointed me and scarred my experience here. I thought I had a clean breakfast place that I could ride my bike to, but alas, my journey continues. I do not recommend this place unless you are absolutely sure that you do not care how your food is prepared and executed to your table. I understand this is a small breakfast joint but quality knows no bounds and is an EXPECTATION! My hard earned money will go to those who deserve it.
(1)Mandy L.
Rise & Shine is a good breakfast option and I'm glad they're here since the wait can be quite long at other breakfast joints in Kent. I've always enjoyed their omelettes and hashbrowns and the coffee is decent. The first time we went, they made sure we had a full cup at all times!! Service has always been friendly and offered in just the right amount and the prices are very reasonable.
(3)Dan S.
A FANTASTIC breakfast experience!! Great service and atmosphere with fresh homemade breakfast food. The staff informed me that their head cook and manager had changed a few months back so I speculate the bad reviews below might come from those transition periods!
(5)Leah B.
My bf and I are regulars here, in almost every weekend. It's my favorite breakfast joint in town. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. I hesitate to write such a glowing review though, because I also love the short wait time! But really, if you're looking for breakfast or lunch, this place is awesome.
(5)Jack A.
outstanding food at reasonable prices. i had an omlet that was outstanding.....great staff...very clean.
(5)David S.
Egg bacon cheese in eng muffin. Very good. Hot off grill. Very good strong coffee. Bright dining room. New interior. Attentive staff. Def returning with kids.

Recently ate here. By far some of the worst food I have ever had. I ordered the Monte Cristo, the French Toast was completely burnt on one side and it was undercooked on the other and you could see the runny egg whites. They remade it for me and it was still horrible, at least that time they remembered powdered sugar on top, but I'm convinced it was because the boss walked in right as they were making it. The home fries were hard and some pieces were still raw. My boyfriend had the turkey sandwich on a pretzel bun which was dry and also underwhelming and the noodles in his pasta salad were mushy and overcooked. I've decided I will not be back until I hear better reviews or they hire new cooks. The service was pretty decent, we did come close to when they close because as we ate they started ferociously cleaning and putting chairs up. Final thought; head down to Mike's Place on 43 close to 261 and save yourself the trouble.
