Rise & Bite Cafe is a quaint, local breakfast spot that offers plenty of breakfast and lunch options for those seeking an alternative to the big chains and long waits that accompany similar but overly hyped up places. This family run operation is friendly and attentive. It's welcoming, and the staff genuinely seems invested in the community here. The menu has all the familiar breakfast and lunch items you could want, but I can't skip getting the house burrito which is filling and good with the included salsa. There's crepes, pancakes, and so much more to enjoy. Rise & Bite is a spot you'll want to come back to on a regular basis for the food and service.
The food was excellent. The restaurant was very homie, and everyone was very nice. I was very comfortable to eat there, and I enjoyed my time here.
I apologize for having dig into my food before this picture, but the breakfast was really good. The place looks very no frills diner style. But the service was quick and attentive. They remembered my wife had decaf when I had regular coffee. My corned beef hash skillet was delicious and made fresh. I asked if they could do no onions expecting it to be pre-mixed in the hash, and they said they mix every order. The blueberry pancakes were also tasty.
Wow! What a great little diner. Fast and friendly service, only 18 or so tables so coming with a bigger group may be a challenge. Started off with breakfast cocktails because they were advertising it, got a mimosa & Bloody Mary. My husband loved the BM! Said the flavor and spice was great. He ordered a patty melt which came with soup & fries. The soup of the day was chicken tortilla was amazing!! So much flavor and a little kick. He also raved about the patty melt. The bread didn't get soggy & the patty was thick and very juicy. I did a BYO skillet which was a great size! Came with pancakes that were SOO fluffy. Couldn't stop eating them. This is our new favorite spot!!
Delicious Breakfast Spot! Stopped by Rise and Bite Cafe in Naperville and had a great experience. I ordered the sausage and cheddar scrambler, which came with onion and green pepper--it was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and really hit the spot. My son got the 2x2x2 with eggs, French toast, and sausage, and he enjoyed every bite. The food was fresh, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back!
Unassuming location in a strip mall. Looks like they've done a remodel but floor and booths look a little old and worn. Friendly and prompt waitresses. Very yummy freshly squeezed orange juice. The staff was so engaging and awesome I was tempted to do 5 stars. But my boyfriends skillet was under seasoned and not too yummy. My chilaquiles on the other hand were delicious, as were the pancakes... very fluffy and so balanced. So good experience overall, but definitely depends on what you order.
It's a simple hole in the wall cafe in a strip mall that wasn't very crowded during Sunday brunch time. For what it was, the food hit the spot, the waitress was kind, and the place was clean. I kept going back and forth between 4 and 5 stars. Comparing to other local breakfast places, it's a solid 4, but I feel like that would be like taking stars off a McDonald's for not being gourmet enough. It's a great alternative to the other breakfast places just north of there with insane wait times.
This is our 2nd time here and once again the service was spectacular. Our waitress was very attentive and Friendly also. We sat in a corner booth area which was perfect for us because we have a very active 1 year old plus diaper bag, car seat etc.. it was spacious and perfect for our size family. The food was very very tasty! I will include pictures in my review so you can see for yourselves. My daughter said her pancake and eggs were so fluffy and delicious ^-^ and her bacon the perfect crispness. My chilaquiles were the perfect amount of mild spiciness. I am glad I chose the red sauce over the green because they were Delicious!! They come with a side of rice and beans that tasted very authentic also. The avocado was the perfect ripeness and so creamy! My husband's house potatoes and biscuits and gravy were also great. He really liked the gravy and asked for a side of it because he likes extra gravy on his biscuits. We also ordered the Nutella crepes and they tasted pretty good. They had a hint of cinnamon in the crepe mix so keep that in mind, next time I think we will ask to exclude it now that we know. Still they were very good We will for sure be back again!
Had a great breakfast with the family! We arrived late morning:early afternoon on a Sunday and were seated right away. The restaurant is fairly small but has plenty of tables and looks like they have the ability to accommodate a larger sized party as needed. I had the veggie omelette that comes with hash browns and toast or pancakes. I swapped the hashbrowns for their breakfast potatoes and chose the pancakes. The omelette was fluffy and had a lot of veggies and the pancakes were slightly thick but still light with a touch of sweetness. The breakfast potatoes had a great flavor! There were a few chunks that were slightly undercooked but good overall. The portion of my meal was quite large with enough for leftovers. The service was great and everyone was so friendly and efficient. We had a great experience overall and will definitely be back to try more!
I don't even know where begin everything was so good. This place was recommended to me by a co worker. Food and service was a 10 out of 10. I tried to taste it before taking a picture and couldn't stop eating it was so good. Steak cooked to perfection. Definitely my new spot. Place is a hidden gem!

Highly recommended. We both had skillets - the steak and egg one with pancakes on the side was delicious and she had the Mess on the Hash skillet. The staff was wonderful and everything was tasty. Will come back again!! read more

this family owned spot at the corner of Ogden & Royal St George (better known as "Lovers Lane" plaza). I saw the sign on the marquee yesterday & had to try today (ummm, my bad as it's been up for 2 years). The space is bright and sunny and the service is spectacular!! We asked what they best know for and ordered the B&G & eggs benedict - wow they were SPECTACULAR!!! The eggs were poached perfectly & hash browns crisp just as the better half likes them. B&G are delicious - biscuits are light and fluffy & gravy is lick the plate good! Can't wait to go back read more

Rise and Cafe has been open for a while and we finally tried it today! Got there at 9am on a Sunday morning and it was quiet with only a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean and quiet (it did get fairly busy once we left at 10am). Food was really good - very tasty and came out quickly. Our waitress was personable and attentive with water and coffee. Menu photos on Yelp are outdated as prices have had a slight increase - sorry I didn't get a photo to update. We had omelets and waffles and Eggs Benedict. They also serve alcohol now (mimosas, bloody Mary's, etc.) but we just needed some plain ol' Joe. Nice place! We'll return. read more

I had no idea this place existed for over a yr. I somehow just heard of it two weeks ago and I am across the street at Fresh Thyme about 4x a week. It's tucked into the corner and not very visible. I will come here often. I love mom & pop breakfast places. I had a huge no cheese, veggie, and sausage omelette and it was good. It came with perfectly cooked hash browns + pancakes. I'm so picky about pancakes. I defy anybody to make homemade pancakes better than mine. There's were standard, but anything drenched in maple syrup is going to be good. Service was super friendly. I have no idea if this is a family run business, but it puts off that vibe. A great weekend spot that I will be a regular at read more
