Located just north of the roundabout with Route 9 & I-91 Exit 2 on Putney Road adjacent to the Chrysler Jeep Ram dealership, Echo Rise & Shine is a cozy cafe serving light breakfast and lunch fare plus bakery items and coffee/espresso & tea drinks. They are the sister eatery to Echo Restaurant & Lounge.
They offer breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, omelettes, waffles, French toast, and breakfast sides. They also offer BYO deli sandwiches & wraps, hot sandwiches, & wraps salads, loaded spuds, wings, and fried foods.
The place is order at the counter and there are a few tables inside nearby. There is also outside seating area (on nicer weather days). I've stopped by here twice over the past month. On the first visit, I got here around 1:30 pm, but unfortunately the grill & kitchen closed early. I was able to purchase some baked goods on the counter including a cinnamon roll and a strawberry cheese danish. I was also given an extra cheese danish at no extra charge.
On the second visit, I arrived here around 9:15 am and ordered breakfast takeout. I ordered a BYO French Omelette ($12 plus tax) with baked tofu and Swiss cheese, with tater tots and Portuguese muffin. My ordered was ready to in about 10 minutes. I grabbed packets of ketchup and hot sauce on the way out. I already picked up my coffee nearby before stopping here.
The omelette was a fluffy folded egg filled with tofu and melted Swiss cheese. The golden tater tots were hot and crisp. The sweet Portuguese muffin was toasted and buttered.
Overall, this breakfast was fairly filling to eat and I was all set for the day ahead of driving over Hogback to NY. read more
