Rise Breakfast - The Undecided Eggs Benedict! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Fun flavors and unique recipes. Definitely want to try more from the bakery. Home-y, breakfast diner vibes. Outdoor seating available. Service greeting when we stepped in was genuine and prompt. Felt like there was a nice cadence of conversation to "time to order" ratio, ie I didn't feel rushed and did not feel abandoned from the server. Place wasn't too busy so the food wait was reasonable. Chai with whipped cream. Sure! read more

This place has a really sunny, happy vibe. Maybe it's the decor and the Bob Marley music playing in the background when we walked in. There's plenty of seating available including outdoor seating which was nice. The service was good. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. Rated this place a 3 because of the food. We ordered the Undecided Benedict which includes two poached eggs, one with smoked ham and classic hollandaise, and the other egg with house made sausage gravy; Both eggs served on a toasted English muffin with Rise potato (hash browns served like a muffin) The Rise potato was burnt all around the sides and the top so really only the middle part was edible. The Benedicts were mediocre so nothing really stood out about that dish. We also got the Rajas and Eggs which is Rajas (spicy blend of roasted poblanos, redskin potatoes, onions, seasoning), two scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, roasted red pepper coulis, corn tortillas. I had high hopes for the Rajas and Eggs with the mention of spices, veggies, seasonings. Overall, I wouldn't order this dish again. I ended up leaving half of my breakfast because it wasn't appetizing to me. Maybe it's lacking a different texture? Seems like it's all the same with the scrambled eggs, the rajas, and the red pepper coulis. read more

The avocado toast was delicious and I really enjoyed it. My husband got a burrito and finished the whole thing. Our service was fast and the staff was helpful. The only bummer was I ordered side hash browns and never got them but I got too nervous to ask about it. Otherwise great experience. read more

Rise Breakfast - Avocado toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Well to begin with I just had the greatest waitress in the world. what a wonderful woman she acts like she does this work because she loves it not because it's work. I had the mushroom hash and it was really pretty fantastic. the aroma was wonderful and just a beautiful rich deep flavor. Really enjoy it. I will absolutely be back to try some of their other interesting and usual menu items. Loved it. read more

I had the corned beef hash and loved it! We did not know what "Rise potatoes" would be, but they turned out to be great, with the shaped "bowl" of shredded hash browns being very tasty. Our service was a bit slow as the restaurant quickly filled up first thing in the morning, but all in all, we enjoyed our breakfast! read more

Met the owner at the end of our meal and he was a relatable guy, our conversation was easy and light. The food was delicious, portions were large and pricing was on point. Our server was very attentive and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, even though they were busy. We loved our experience this morning at Rise! Btw- the green chile is definitely worth ordering. ‍ read more

Rise Breakfast - Corn pancakes with chorizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Had an amazing breakfast. The Stack. That thing was money!!! Great green chili and I don't know where they get the eggs but they are tasty. The scones are probably the best I have had. Moist. Servers were great and the place just has a nice vibe. read more

Rise Breakfast - The Stack. It is fantastic. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

Sitting at Rise now. My first impression is not great. The service leaves much to be desired. I sat at the bar, there is a flurry of activity as this is where the drinks,l are prepared and dirty dishes placed. However, it took a while to be greeted and offered something to drink - in fact I had to ask. There were empty tables and I asked to move as I thought the service might be better, I was wrong. The food was pretty good and I liked the options. Maybe I would get better service if I was not a single, middle aged women, we tend to be invisible. read more

Absolutely incredible brunch!!! The most perfect breakfast potatoes i've ever had and karen was an absolute delight! and the blonde hostess helped us get a walk in table with ease! such a well run, adorable breakfast spot! read more

I met a friend at Rise & the food was good & our server was very attentive. We picked a bad time to go as the parking lot really sucked I would definitely go again! read more

Super cute place and friendly atmosphere. The food was fine. Not a fan of the cupcake style hash browns- just didn't bring much to the table. Not sure of the point of those. However, the cinnamon roll I had might have been the best one ever. It was SOOO good! Fresh, delicious, even the outside edges were good! I would one hundred percent go back for the cinnamon roll alone! No photos bc I wasn't planning on doing a review but that cinnamon roll is haunting me (in a good way). read more

This is a wonderful and underrated spot for breakfast and lunch. Great coffee. Fresh food. Homemade stuff. More than a decade ago, I left an iffy review of service under the previous owners. The new-ish owners and staff bend over backward to take care of customers and make you smile. Celiac-friendly. Lots of veggie options. Beautiful scones. read more

We came here for the gluten-free options and were blown away. There were multiple GF dishes on the menu with very detailed descriptions. I settled on the corn cakes and chorizo. I asked to separate the ingredients and add a side of syrup so I could taste pancakes plus add the ingredients on top bite by bite for both savory and sweet options. The owner/cook was extremely accommodating, and also stressed how the elements went together well. He was right. I was so happy with my dish. My friend got the Lorraine frittata and the herb aioli on top was to die for. She added their house hot sauce and it was the perfect mix of flavor and slight spice. It didn't taste like a chunky can of salsa, it was so flavorful. The service was amazing. Both the owner and the waitress were kind and attentive. I didn't expect such service at a busy brunch place but they all made their rounds and we felt very well taken care of. Inside the diner is bright and clean. It looks like a typical brunch space and would be perfect for a casual girls brunch or day date. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone needing GOOD gluten friendly options, lots of flavor, and a positive environment. read more

Rise Breakfast - Chorizo and corn cakes (asked to separate cakes from under the toppings so I could mix it up) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Collins, Colorado

I really hate to provide a bad review for an locally-owned and operated restaurant but we were: a) served cold green chili, b) charged for but never received french-press coffee; and c) treated less than hospitable by the hostess seating us. Response to Owner: Yes, the owner did come out and apologize for the cold chili and that was appreciated. I stand by my comment about the seating hostess. I didn't mention that my wife was served a chai tea latte. When it arrived, it had a large blob of cool whip on top. Before my wife could mention she didn't want the cool whip, the server had left and we didn't have any plates to remove the cool whip to at the time. Unfortunately, before she could get either server's attention (several minutes), it had fully dissolved into the otherwise tasty drink. I take Yelp reviews seriously and typically post positive reviews more frequently than negative reviews. Basically, my wife and I's overall experience inclusive of the food and service was, at best, average. I'm sorry. read more

The Food was great. I ordered the Biscuits&Gravy toped with a scrambled egg. The help was very friendly. The inside of the place was nice.

I knew they would be high quality, but I never knew a place could in addition to your favorite breakfast fare, have their own dishes that are unlike anywhere else, with sauces they invented, drizzles and glazes on your plate, and a master chef's discoveries of pairings. I had the Colorful Colorado- one of their chef's recipes - and it came completely fresh, locally sourced, and it was light and healthy. It came with a homemade jam, and it was the best jam I've had maybe ever. Just one reason this place is 5 stars! One of many! They are great at lots of things. And if your meal takes a moment to prepare, it might be because they know what they're doing and they're making some added flavors of your meal that complement the flavors, and make it gourmet. They label clearly their allergens on the menu. The staff is peppy and fun. The room is bright and clean. What a way to wake up. You will not be disappointed with RISE, a local favorite of its neighborhood. read more

Great breakfast all around! The service, food, ambiance were all top notch. We went back twice during our stay in Fort Collins. First time I had the hazel dell frittata that was delicious, second time back I wanted to try something new and went with the braised barbacoa benedict which was also amazing! Every server was so kind and welcoming and the owner, Zach takes the time to engage with customers and truly make them feel like family! Next time you're in town, check out Rise!! read more

Ya gotta love a well rounded menu and appreciate their new ideas. I was concerned that there would be a wait, but we were just about the only ones in the place. The interior is homey and bright. They've also got some cute bar seating. The staff were welcoming and personable. They made us feel like family and like we'd been going there for years. Cinnamon Roll. It was delightful and a great size for sharing before our meal. They added just the right amount of icing and the breading was soft and tasty. Frittata Special. Okay, that sauce made the whole dish, otherwise it would have been pretty bland. The english muffin and jam was so tasty. The muffin was thick, yet soft and warm. If I lived in Fort Collins, I'd definitely be a regular! read more

If I could give 2.5 stars I would. Very cute and clean with good service but the food fell short. We ordered the corn cakes with chorizo and the hazel dell hash. The corn cakes were very good but everything else fell flat, the chorizo was cold, the hash had a very weird off flavor and the eggs were not cooked well. Not the worst but wouldn't go back. read more

Service was great, but the food was terrible! Marylin was my server and she's great overall! I was grateful for her hospitality. I ordered a breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were not cooked fully. They were hard and raw. I also ordered cinnamon roll French toast that had absolutely no flavor at all. It tasted close to the flavor of water with some sprinkles of nutmeg. There was raw egg present in between the bread as well. The cream cheese helped it out a little but overall, I disliked the food very much. Unfortunately, it was my very first attempt to try the food out here, but I won't ever come back because of those reasons. I understand how criticism may not be accepted by some people and reading the responses from the owner or manager were disheartening. I hope that criticism and feedback were helpful in building the team to do better. After all, we go out to eat, pay a decent price for a nice meal and expect an edible delicious meal. Thanks for the experience! Hope they take this in stride and get things sorted out! Instead of making excuses. Thanks again! read more

This is my first time here, once you walk in you feel like part of the family. The owner came over and we started talking like we had known each other for years! All of the staff makes you feel welcome, and they all look like they are enjoying their job! I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it was one of the best ones I have had in years. The green chili was spot on!! I told myself I was going to only eat half, The next thing I knew...it was gone! Haha! My wife had the blueberry pancakes, and they also were just as tasty! We have found our "go to" breakfast place! read more

Great food and service. I have been there four or five times. Consistently exceeds expectations.

i went with my brother. he got the blueberry pancake, which he really enjoyed. the bacon was pretty good. i got the mushroom hash. it shouldn't even be called a mushroom hash, because it was really just a thick patty of asiago cheese with a little bit of underdone hash browns with mushroom. it's really bitter and didn't taste good. i politely told the server and she didn't offer any sort of remedy. read more

Food was absolutely delicious, and the service was amazing. It was and still is my father's favorite breakfast restaurant, and now it's mine. When you walk in, the scenery is lovely a great sit-down breakfast place. All the servers treat you with great respect, love, and care. My server, Karen, was amazing. Zach, the owner words can't describe how good of a guy he is. He takes great pride in his restaurant. Overall, a great place. I will be back! read more

An absolute hidden gem breakfast place in Fort Collins!! Super cute inside, great service through and through, and I had probably one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I had the corn cakes and chorizo and it was just absolutely delicious as well as looked like art on a plate. My boyfriend had the cinnamon roll French toast and I had to steal a bite because it looked amazing and tasted just as good! I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good place for breakfast! Also had great prices! read more

Avocado toast was delicious. Corncakes and chorizo was also good. The biscuits and sausage gravy, not so much. Someone got very heavy handed with the nutmeg in the sausage gravy. Made it taste very strange. read more

This establishment is amazing. Let me tell you, the threks are incredible and have amazing scoopage. They were very clever to switch over. I will eat here everytime I need breakfast in foco! Thank you for the awesome service! read more

Marilyn is gem to the world, excellent service, so personable, kind and funny! Food was out of this world- we had the cheeseburger frittata (comparable to a Big Mac in egg form) and the chorizo and corn cakes dish which were both fantastic! They also had Athletic brand NA beer which we always appreciate. Clean, cute & quick for high quality food read more

This is the best brunch place I've ever been to. Not only was the main meal AMAZING, so were the drinks, atmosphere and staff. Our waitress Marylyn was a laugh and a half and chef came out to personally ask us how the meal was. Everything is made in house and you've got to try the green house made hot sauce. 10/10 we will be back! read more

Very good quality service and food! Def recommend this place! Got the cubano and it was amazing!

Nope. Ordered a fritatta, and what was delivered on my plate was anything but. A flat sort-of omelette, with half-cooked bacon, a couple pieces of tomato, and questionable cheese on top. Did these people ever look up what a fritatta is? I really should have objected and shown a picture of a fritatta. Waiter was friendly, but food was...bad. Won't go back. read more

Let's start with chef/family owned. This is the best thing I have eaten in a breakfast place, ever. Thoughtfully sourced, beautifully assembled and so delicious. I am a pretty picky eater and this exceeded my expectations by a mile. I asked for a healthy choice -so many! Great place to go for a great brunch, breakfast or lunch. The owner, Zach, is the best! His staff is amazing. Just goes to show, small business is alive and well! read more

Two owners ago, this establishment was fantastic. Now, though? You're better off going to Retreat Bakery in the same plaza if you want a snack. I was served this meal cold and charged $18 for the pleasure. Ridiculous prices for subpar service and okay food. They charge $3 a glass for Costco-brand oat milk. This place isn't a restaurant, it's a racket. read more
