Rise & Shine Island Flavour Brunch & Dinner

What a fun place for the whole family!! The food was excellent, like the spices on the real home fries, the jerk sauce on the bacon, and the eggs done to perfection. Then, to keep the family entertained, there's a spot for kids to play! The affirmations in the washroom are a sweet add. It's a good spot😋! Oh, and you can get keto bread !!! Yummy !

What an amazing gem this place is! We found this place coincidentally on our way back from a 3 day getaway to a resort and this was by far the best meal we had that weekend. It's a busy place so it's a little noisy but it was bright and open with friendly staff and a tripical theme inside. The food was tasty and unique which is wonderful when you want to try something new. The fries were a bit thick for our tastes but they weren't dry as often happens at some place. I had never had Chilli soup before but I really enjoyed it and the steak sandwich was awesome. My husband found the club sandwich filling, which rarely happens lol. Coffee was really good as well. Many might find the prices a little on the higher side for some items but price to value comparison was worth it to us.

We have been eating here for a few years and the food and service never disappoints. The food is delicious with amazing flavours. The menu is quite large with great variety. We love the Jamaican options, especially the Double, shrimp curry, jerk chicken. The prices are amazing too. We have enjoyed their patio and ordered for pick up. The staff are always pleasant and a shout out to the chef.

Title: A Fusion Delight with a Vibrant Vibe!

Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rise & Shine, the hidden gem of a breakfast place in Guelph that brings together the best of Caribbean and Canadian flavors. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a wonderful dining experience.

The menu offers a delightful blend of traditional Canadian breakfast favorites infused with the unique spices and flavors of the Caribbean. The fusion of these two culinary worlds is truly a match made in breakfast heaven! I opted for their signature Caribbean-Canadian breakfast platter, and it did not disappoint. The ackee and saltfish paired harmoniously with fluffy pancakes, creating a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds.

What sets Rise & Shine apart, aside from their mouthwatering food, is their commitment to affordability. It's refreshing to find a place where you can savor a delectable meal without breaking the bank. Their prices are reasonable and perfectly aligned with the quality and quantity they offer.

The staff at Rise & Shine are a testament to their dedication to customer satisfaction. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve, they added a personal touch that made my visit all the more enjoyable.

Whether you're a fan of Caribbean cuisine, Canadian classics, or simply looking for an extraordinary breakfast experience, Rise & Shine is the place to be. With its inviting ambiance, exceptional fusion dishes, and pocket-friendly prices, this spot has earned a permanent place on my list of favorite breakfast joints in Guelph.

If you're craving a culinary adventure that marries two cultures in the most delicious way possible, look no further than Rise & Shine. It's a true testament to the magic that happens when diverse flavors come together on a plate.

Don't miss out on the chance to indulge in this Caribbean-Canadian breakfast haven – it's a rise and shine experience worth waking up for!

Interesting vibe. Really nice variety of foods in their menu. We came in for brunch and left with enough food for dinner! Portion sizes are deceivingly large. Very tasty. I ordered the chicken and waffles benny. It was nice, but I found the waffles to be a bit too sweet for my taste. The house fries had a really nice seasoning on top. Quite enjoyable overall. Oh and the music playing in the background was great too!

The staff is incredible. Very friendly/thoughtful and on top of things. Good brunch food, had the Mexican Benedict and it hit the spot. Fun drinks too.

LOVED IT. Super laid back, cozy, welcoming atmosphere with an island vibe. We went for breakfast. The food was delicious and well priced (some breakfast/brunch places are astronomically expensive these days!!) My husband had the classic Benny and I had the Chicken and Waffles Benny....WOW... so good! The service was excellent too. Everyone is very sweet and it really has a warm family restaurant vibe. I started coughing due to allergies and one of the staff quickly brought a little honey packet for me to sooth my throat. It ws such a thoughtful and kind gesture. We will definitely be back!!

Got the corned beef eggs Benedict and was legit one of the top 3 Bennie’s I’ve ever had. Service was very quick, especially since the restaurant was virtually full.

Just had brunch there this morning and it was fantastic. Price is on point and very happy with the mimosa options. Nothing like being given the whole bottle of Prosecco and a separate bottle of your choice of mix. Loved the island theme on the inside. Can't wait to come back in the summer when the patio is open 😃

Great food and pleasant patio. It's creatively made with palm tree leaves from Jamaica (!!) and the tables and outside is nicely put together. A homey feel. Lots of shade, or lots of sun, depending where you want to sit.

For the food itself, the eggs, over-easy were perfect and the bacon is thicker than usual and excellently made. They also had gluten-free bread, for those who prefer that. The waitress was friendly and it's a definitely recommended breakfast place to check out in Guelph.

This place was recommended by my son and it did not disappoint.
We had breakfast/brunch and it was something worth craving for.
We will definitely be back to try other food items.
Keep up the excellent service, food and atmosphere.
Prices were very competitive and I even had enough to take for leftovers!
My son had Jerk Bacon Benni, I had the chicken waffle Benedict and hubby had the Perfect Day breakfast…..thank you Ho Dicker for the great service!

Wow, what a wonderful restaurant!
We walked into a tropical paradise, which was so nice given we cannot go anywhere due to COVID. The atmosphere was so inviting and so were the staff, they were so friendly and upbeat. The food was fresh and delicious. We had a variety of breakfast foods including the jerk bacon, OMG, so flavourful!! We will definitely be back!

The high rating for this place is well deserved. We did not order anything other than a ordinary brunch as we would at other places, yet it still punch above our expectation. Prices are reasonable as well. Nothing to complain other than my dining knife was wore out. Really nice patio as well!

My date and I both had the traditional burger. It was fresh,big and juicy. The fries were homemade served in a big deep fryer basket. The lady serving us was amazing she let us take our time talking and came over in the right moments. We definitely will be back

Good food and friendly staff. The place itself is super cute with an island feel to it. It was also nice that they had live music the day we went. I especially enjoyed the chicken and waffles benny. Definitely would come back again.

My daughters and I went to this cute and unique restaurant. The food was made fresh, very flavourful home fries that came with my daughters eggs benidict. I had the toasted western on Keto bread. Yes, they serve Keto, and my other daughter had the quesadia with fries. We would definitely be back again. The grilled cheese sandwich looked good. The bathrooms were clean and had positive, uplifting words as I had added for your enjoyment. Check it out

Definitely eat here! The owners care about their customers to keep prices very reasonable for food that is top quality, with a wide selection. The chicken and waffles, the Parmesan fries, the mango juice, the benedicts. Seriously, everything was awesome.
Service is that perfect balance of friendly checking on you without overdoing it.
Thank you for wonderful experiences, you will be seeing me again.

Came here while family was visiting for.m brunch. The staff were very nice and friendly. The food was perfect and came fast. It is such a nice place and I recommend it to everyone in the area!

Love this place! Brought the fam jam out for breakfast Sunday morning and this place did not disappoint at all! Service was quick and delicious! Staff were kind and friendly! Atmosphere is great! Place is clean and organized! Highly recommend this place!

OMG! What a find. On our way back from Elora to Toronto, we stopped at this place for brunch. We absolutely loved everything we ordered and more. We were six of us and ordered about 8 items from the menu, and loved every one of it. The smoothies were great too. The only problem was by the time our food got to see our table (except the skillet), everything was kinda cold. Probably because they wanted to bring everything out together. However, I will definitely go back to this place, and rate it highly, definite value for money.
