    Benny Avocado
    David R.

    Rise & Grind was alright, but didn't impress my first time there. My wife and I decided to pop in for brunch on a Saturday morning. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were seated in a booth, which was comfortable. There are stick figure doodles on the wall which are fun and give the place a unique sort of flair. The food wasn't good. It's pricey, but in fairness they give you a good sized portion. We ordered two vegetarian options and the vegetables weren't great. They were sort of bland and a lot of the vegetables were either room-temperature or cold. In particular the roasted red peppers and green bell peppers in both the Veggie Lovers Skillet and the Benny Avocado were cold. The Veggie Lovers Skillet was also a bit odd because the avocado mash and pico de gallo was very cold in contrast to the warm (not hot) "skillet." The potatoes were bad in both dishes. They were a little tough or chewy and felt like the leftovers of a hotel's continental breakfast right as they are closing. I might give this place another try, since there are other positive reviews and perhaps we just had bad luck our first time... but with other really nice options in the area, we might not be back any time soon.

    We usually go out to queens, Brooklyn, NYC; this time we went out east and landed here. It was completely worth it, I'm all about the design workmanship that goes into the restaurant design but also the positive atmosphere created by the workers there. The food was delicious and not greasy at all! Drinks and coffee were fresh, which the wife was a big fan off. The yellow screams positive energy and we love it; even though the day we went was gloomy. The place still looked amazing!

    Dirty coffee mug and a little lipstick stain. They need to be more thorough in cleaning their cups.

    The staff is friendly, but the food we ordered was so-so, and the cleanliness was not up to par. You would think it is a high quality after waiting for 30 minutes, and there were empty tables. Anyways, once called to be seated. Our table was Wet from a wet cloth wipe. This felt disgusting, and they could have come behind the damp rag with a dry rag and wiped the wetness from the table. But why did we come? Because of the food, suitable? We order pancakes, a pesto steak sandwich, and a steak and eggs plate. The pesto sandwich and pancakes were delicious. But the steak and egg were not up to par. I do not know if the steak was old, but it gave me an old taste and was not marinated. When I grabbed the salt and pepper to fix my steak, maybe again, the taste was off-putting--I had never tasted a steak like this. The condiments need to be wiped down because they all feel sticky and are from careless poring of the syrup. Maybe serve the syrup when someone orders pancakes. I do not know the problem with this place, but this experience left me not wanting to return. Spending $90.00 for a lousy breakfast experience is insane. But what can I do? Also, they need to wash their coffee cups! We received our first coffee cup with a little lipstick stain, and now I'm worried about whether I caught anything from the person before using the cup. But the future will tell, so I'm writing about my experience. Management and the owners need better supervision and training with these nice employees who ate children at the end of the day but need better guidance.

    This might just be my new favorite place! The service was amazing and the food was great! It's adorable and has a cute entryway! I love that it it's not in the chaos of Main Street and has its own designated parking lot.

    I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a good cup of coffee and a nice atmosphere. The staff are always willing to help and the prices are very competitive. Whether you're looking for a quick bite to eat or a nice afternoon out with your pet, this is definitely the place to go. The food is delicious and the coffee is always fresh and flavorful. It's a hidden gem that has only gotten better with the new ownership. The coffee was everything for me. Strawberry Latte.

    I'm about to make a bold statement... Rise & Grind is one of the best breakfast places on the Island. It's right up there with Toast (I honestly think this place might be a bit better) and Maureen's Kitchen. From the second I walked in I was blown away. The decor is minimal, but very cute and clean. There is a counter up front for you to grab and go, but I highly suggest dining in towards the right and to the back. My cousin and I literally split everything because: 1) we were so hungry 2) everything looked so delicious we wanted to try everything 3) why not?? First, my chai latte was PERFECT. The mugs the drinks come in are adorable! The staff was kind and patient as we were freaking out over what we should get. As we sipped our warm beverages we decided on the following: -corned beef hash with a fried egg -fruity French toast -chicken and waffles Each dish was just as good as the last. But I have to say a nice surprise was the potatoes that's came with the corned beef hash. I could not stop eating them. Some of the best I've had! I can't wait to come out this way again and stop here. There is so much more I'd like to try.

    Peanut butter truffle latte and rainbow cookie latte, both iced.
    Josh G.

    Perhaps I'm a passive-aggressive person. I say this because in the moment, especially when at a food establishment, there are a lot of things I could potentially say but choose not to utter as they might be deemed a little...negative in nature. Case in point would be Rise & Grind where my wife and I had a "meh" visit that resulted in this 3-star writeup. You see, things actually started off in the 5-star region as we walked in to a cute looking establishment with a friendly older woman taking our initial coffee order. The place has clever stick figure drawings along the walls and when you first enter, a nice little coffee bar. You can tell that the morning Joe is important here because they have a ton of interesting and intriguing options which can be made hot or iced. For example, my wife got the rainbow cookie iced latte while I got the peanut butter truffle iced latte. Both tasted wonderful with those flavors really coming through along with a nice aesthetic presentation (check the pic). Beyond the coffee, I can't give many positive accolades to R&G, and that's from a food/cost aspect. I mean I'll say that the menu of Rise & Grind appears to be vast with plenty of options, but before even ordering, you might notice that the prices are a little ridiculous. Almost all of the omelets, Benedicts, and skillets are close to $20. The pancakes and French toasts come in a little lower at an average of $16.50. Ouch. Yeah I know inflation is a thing, but I can go to Brownstones Coffee and get an avocado BLT Benedict with a side of breakfast potatoes for $14.50. Just sayin'. And while we're sayin' potatoes, let's get into the real swings and misses about the grub at Rise & Grind. Their skillets (I got the Roasted Forest Skillet) and eggs (my wife got The Classic) come on/with "home fries" which are actually just really large pieces of undercooked potatoes with skins on them. Last time I checked that's not home fries...plus they had basically no flavor. For my skillet, the waitress asked what kind of eggs I wanted in it, and I figured over-easy would work well for the purposes of the runny yolks. Welp, the thing had hot cheese melted on top so when I got into eating it, the yolks had all solidified...I mean over-easy shouldn't even be an option if that's going to happen. Add in some tasteless chorizo, roasted veggies that didn't do much to help, and a ton of those aforementioned bland potatoes and you've got an extremely subpar skillet. For my wife, her eggs (with American cheese on top for an extra $1.50) and sausage (patties not links) were fine, but for $16 total it wasn't worth it, even if the portions were decent. Overall, Rise & Grind begins as a cute coffee spot, but ends there. Yeah the brew is great and I might even consider returning just for the caffeine, but honestly I don't think it'll happen. Food-wise there's a lot of draw from that menu, but the overpriced and lackluster tastes of their items just ruin the entire experience. Their highly-ranked Yelp score makes me truly wonder if we had an off day/order but regardless, consider this the end of my passive-aggressive review.

    Rainbow Cookie Latte
    Emily B.

    Rise & Grind is one of my favorite coffee shops to get work done and enjoy a nice breakfast or lunch. I got the hamburger quesadilla and a rainbow cookie latte this morning. The food was fresh and very tasty but just not my favorite thing I've had. I was hesitant to get it and should've fine with my gut on something else. My waitress was super kind about me getting some work done and I felt no pressure to have to leave or that I was invading the space. This is one of my favorite breakfast spots, it is a bit pricy but worth every penny!

    Savanna Banana Pancakes.    Sinfully delicious
    Bill S.

    I am updating my prior review. I just had the most amazing breakfast. Everything for the nine of us was perfect. Great service. Savanna Banana pancakes are sinfully delicious, as the Honey Comb Latte. Bright, cheerfully decorated and clean. Staffed by caring people My go to breakfast place.

    Pancake Wich

    I remember the Pancake Wich being made with actual adult size pancakes. Disappointing since this was one of my favorite dishes, now being made with child size pancakes. I guess inflation has hit us all. Good atmosphere n vibes still. Time to look elsewhere for my Sunday breakfast spot.

    Starting at top left is King , Oreo French Toast , Corn Beef Hash, & Eggs Benedict. Also Hot Chocolate and Peanut Butter Truffle.
    Paul D.

    We went here for my wife's birthday brunch. The place is a clean and well decorated. We were seated fast and the service came over quick to take drink orders. We all got something different. My wife loves traditional Eggs Benedict so she got that she said it was good but eggs were over cooked needed to be runny and Eggs with Corn Beef Hash it was good as well eggs was too runny but corn beef hash was homemade and great. Kids both got different versions of French Toast the King and the Oreo both of them loved it. We will be back food and service was good.

    Peanut butter truffle latte
    Alison A.

    Still as good as last time. Enjoying a lovely peanut butter latte and some eggs. Service is so nice and helpful, too!! Glad my one doctors office is a few buildings away. Waiting here for the second part of my appointment is very nice.

    Farmer's Market
    Christopher S.

    Wow, this spot is the best! The food is so fresh and their coffee took away my breath. The ambiance is such a vibe and when it comes to their service - it felt like a cohesive tribe. A tribe full of wonderful people on the inside and out who are ready to fulfill your desired requests in a moment's notice. They have these subtle doodles all over the walls that are very cute and clever. Please be on the lookout in the photos I took. I had their Classic breakfast meal. The eggs over easy, bacon, and home fries were so good. I could come here every day for breakfast. Highly recommend if you are in the area! Your's truly, a delighted raving fan.

    See all
