We went to Rize for a friend's birthday and had such a nice breakfast. They surprised us with a free cinnamon roll, and it was big enough for all three of us to share! It was served warm and very fresh, with delicious cream cheese frosting. I ordered the Signature Egg Tart, and it was wonderful. It was rich and almost quiche-like, filled with lots of roasted vegetables, and the bright, acidic sauce balanced it really well. I honestly wouldn't have changed anything except maybe adding a little salt, but that may just be personal preference. I also enjoyed a cold brew while we sat out on the patio. The only downside was the construction noise from the large apartment buildings going up around the patio. That is obviously not the restaurant's fault, but it is something to be aware of if you're planning to sit outside right now. Overall, great food, kind service, and a really thoughtful birthday touch. We would definitely go back! read more

Make a reservation, especially for weekend brunch. We didn't have one, but luckily snagged seats at the bar. Rize truly stands out for its commitment to local partnerships, sourcing fresh ingredients from nearby growers, and you can absolutely taste the difference. Everything felt fresh, thoughtful, and well-executed. The space is clean, bright, and nicely decorated. Coffee was strong and flavorful (just how I like it). The salad that came with the omelet was next-level, with a light, citrusy dressing that balanced everything perfectly. The waffles were incredibly airy,soft, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth good.... And wow, the bacon was so good we ended up ordering another side. Despite the restaurant being packed, service was friendly, efficient, and never felt rushed. Food came out quickly, and the staff kept everything running smoothly. A great spot for breakfast or brunch, definitely worth supporting a local business that also supports its community partners.

Rize elevates breakfast to a gourmet experience, for sure. This was our first visit, but now I'm a regular. We started with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, which tasted incredible. James, our server, was friendly, professional and attentive. He checked us is regularly. Other servers even filled our water when they walked by. I had the Miller Farms Chicken Grain Bowl, which was a hearty mix of tender chicken, radishes, spinach and grains with a pear sauce. This is as a healthy and tasty option, but I was secretly coveting my husband's bacon and toast. My husband had the Farm Eggs Breakfast that came with Smoking Goose sausage and thick sliced bacon. The meats were delicious and perfectly cooked. He said the side salad with palm harts was spectacular. He talked about that salad the rest of the day. The sour dough bread with fresh strawberry preserves was delicious. The breakfast comes with three eggs! The cafe is upscale with lots of seating. They do a great job of spacing people out, when they can. It really felt like a private dining experience. They have a kid's menu with great prices. Rize is a member of the Cunningham Group, so you can use your card to get points for future meals. I highly recommend- probably the best breakfast in Indy. read more

The newest Rize location and it is just as fabulous as the others. More intimate than the Fisher's location, not quite as cozy as the original at Ironworks, but it does have it's own flair. Service was great. The menu is the same as it is in the other locations. All of it delicious. I generally enjoy my smoked salmon bagel and a pop tart (if I like the flavor of the day). Both were spot on and pleasing to my taste buds. read more

A very popular spot in Carmel. You definitely should make a reservation if going there on weekends especially. I made one so I only waited about 10 minutes until our table was ready, but I heard the hostess telling others without reservation that the wait is about 45 minutes. Once we were seated, we received attentive service from our server. I had a Mediterranean wrap with a side salad. Both were great, but it was like having two salads as the wrap had a lot of lettuce. (I should have done fries for the salad. ) I especially enjoyed the salad dressing, which was vinaigrette with a hint of maple. My friend sandwich looked great so I will try hot food items next time. I liked the ambience, the place was so busy with high noise level so not a relaxed atmosphere, but I still had a great time. read more

First time here, won't be the last. It's all freshly prepared farm to table elevated breakfast. It's pricey, but I think it's worth the money. We were here after the Carmel Farmer's Market on a Saturday at 10:30am. It was very busy, They asked if we had reservations. We didn't. We had a 20 min wait. I'd make reservations next time. Service was great. We started with a Chai tea latte, Strawberry smoothie and a peach mango unsweetened tea. The smoothie was $9. I think that's the most I've ever paid for a smoothie. It tasted very fresh. It was good. The tea is really good. I'd buy that by the gallon. My friend liked her latte. We had biscuits and gravy with one egg over easy, scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese on a croissant with a side salad and a griddled English muffin with butter and jam. Everything was very good. We did ask for extra sausage gravy. The eggs were perfectly cooked. It's a nice restaurant not far from the Farmers Market. There are two other locations. I recommend this place. It's fresh, and tasty. I think it's worth the price. read more

My husband and I stopped in here for brunch yesterday and had such a lovely time. I love any excuse to go out for brunch and I picked RIZE because my husband has been to the Ironworks location for a work meeting before and said how great their food is and decided it was time I try them out as well! The location is super close to so many other restaurants, wineries, breweries, and shopping in Carmel so you can really make a day out of coming the area. Our server was incredibly friendly and checked on us often. He explained their concept to us since I had never been and gave has plenty of time to look over the menu. I love to have any combination of coffee, water, sparkling water, prosecco, mimosa, juice, etc during breakfast/brunch, so I ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice, a glass of prosecco, and a cup of coffee. They have almond milk as a creamer option, which I loved! Dairy, milk especially, really upsets my stomach and a lot of breakfast spots usually just have regular milk or half and half if they don't have the little individual creamers on the tables, so it was a nice touch. My husband also ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice and we both really enjoyed it. We decided to split one of their cinnamon rolls and OMG it is one of the best we've ever had. I would come back just for the cinnamon roll. I ordered the breakfast burrito and my husband ordered the chorizo skillet (very similar dishes) and the burrito was so big I was able to take 1/2 home and eat the rest this morning for breakfast (it reheated well!). I told my sister and friends how great our brunch was and now they all want to come in for a cinnamon roll. I also hadn't realized until we went to pay that they are a Cunningham restaurant, so it it was nice to earn some unexpected points on our account. I can't wait to come back and try something else! read more

A super solid place for breakfast and lunch complete with a lot of variety of options for food and drink that are all healthy and satisfying... Well, mostly healthy and all satisfying! The place was super clean and well lit, the staff was very welcoming. My latte tasted absolutely delicious. I have only been on weekdays and it has had a healthy group being there, I imagine it probably is very full each weekend! read more

We're back at Rize again and not even going to a hair salon nearby! We're on our way to the airport, stopping for brunch. My stomach doesn't feel well so I ordered a poached egg and bagel. I wish I could poach an egg like they do. Very tender! The bagel is fine but the little pot of jam with it was awful, like pie filling from a can. RRR got the farmhouse waffle and loved it. It's served with a decadent maple butter which I just had to try. Our wait person did a fine job, everyone was super friendly. The staff here are well trained and always seem to have a smile for us. Maybe we're funny looking...ha! read more

Stopped in for breakfast this morning and had three perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs, crispy bacon, the most amazing potatoes, sourdough toast, and an iced sugar-free latte. The potatoes alone make this a 5/5--absolutely delicious and a must-try! Our server, who we've had before, was outstanding as always, and the atmosphere is perfect for casual meetups. read more

I visited RIZE after 2 years and pretty much nothing has changed from customer service to food. Sarah B our server was the best! She gave us ample time, helped with good choices from the menu and gave a good understanding with regard to quantity. I don't prefer being surprised with too large portions and she was pretty accurate with that! The chia bowl and omelette my friend ordered were stellar! I always recommend RIZE and definitely will be going and meeting friends there again! read more

We like to come here every so often for brunch. There are vegetarian options to satisfy all of us. The cinnamon roll is always ordered. We got the waffles (without candied bacon), avocado toast, power grain bowl, biscuit and a potato side. All were very tasty. Our waitress was nice and food was prompt. Clean and warm environment. Will be back again. read more

Our foodie group came to Rize Carmel for brunch one Sunday, and it was the best experience. I had been to the Rize Fishers and the Rize Ironworks for brunch, so I knew what to expect menu wise. The ambiance was very classy and upscale like a brunch place should be. Our server, Celina, was on top of everything with our group. She was professional and courteous and made sure we had everything we needed for our meals. I ordered the Smoking Goose Chorizo skillet for my entree. It was fantastic! The sunny side eggs were cooked just perfect and had the right texture to it. The Chorizo sausage and potatoes were a wonderful combination. The flavors were excellent and it had the right amount of spice and heat to it. It was an excellent entree. Everyone else loved their dishes as well. The brown sugar cinnamon pop tart was a huge hit among our group. You can never go wrong with Rize because they know how to make brunch right and wonderful for the customer. The service is always on point and the quality of the food is beyond expectations. Rize will always be #1 in my book for brunch. It is just perfection! read more

Stopped in while traveling and enjoyed an incredible brunch! Great service and friendly staff that worked together seamlessly as a team! Love the green vibes - plants, green leather booths and chairs, aesthetically very calming. We ordered and split the Chorizo Skillet - appreciated the local meat from Smoking Goose - and the Farmhouse Waffle - both were divine. The perfect amount of savory & sweet for two! I also had a cappuccino with hazelnut syrup! Very satisfying experience. read more

Finally made it in! Have been wanting to try out Rize for a while now. We went at 9:30am on a Saturday and it was not busy (I know how busy brunch places get on Saturdays in Indiana so we went early). But, they also take reservations so that's a bonus! It was a first time in and they gave us a cinnamon roll to start. I ordered the Egg Tart (it's one of their recommendations) and also ordered the Crispy Potato Tottler. Both were delicious and I would definitely order it again. They have plenty of parking and the restaurant had a lot of seating and window (booth) seats as well - so whether it's a date or a group outing, I think they can accommodate it well. My husband had the Smoked Salmon Bagel and it came deconstructed - but the plating was beautiful! read more

LOVE Rize! It's our favorite brunch spot in town. Everything I've had on the menu has been killer! This bowl is spectacular. It seems so simple but the flavor is truly next level. I couldn't ever make something this good. I will say, this last time around they put too much oil in my bowl and it was pooling in the bottom. Never had that happen any other time though, so no hard feelings! Service is always great too! read more

We had the best experience at Rize. We have been there before and always enjoy the food. However, this time we had two littles with us. The staff was so kind and understanding.

My latte was extra hot and all of our dishes were delicious. Everyone was amazing and kind, and we can't wait to come back! read more

Croissants have been on my mind the past few days. I even had a dream about eating a croissant. I really wanted a croissant, but only an excellent croissant would do. Not wanting to drive to Broad Ripple for a great croissant (you know the place), or Greenwood (you know where), I found out that Rize makes great croissants. We ordered four to go, and they were exactly as flaky and chewy and buttery as I was hoping they'd be. Our to-go croissants came with little cups of butter (it tasted like sweet cream) and strawberry purée. It was the perfect breakfast, and now I have a go-to place in Carmel for croissants. Oh, and they serve great coffee, too! read more

This is the second time I have had breakfast here and it is quite good. I had the pomegranate and ginger fizz which is sparkling water with flavorings. Very refreshing. Three of us split a cinnamon roll and believe me there was more than enough for the three of us- it is massive! Also delicious. I had the chorizo omelette with a side of fruit. The omelette was very good- lots of peppers, pickled onions and a nice avocado purée on top. My daughter ordered the chicken hash which was good but just a few too many onions. My husband had fruit and granola and yogurt. He said it was good. The fruit was ultra fresh. Service was very good. Sean did a great job. I will definitely be returning. read more

Everyone has been raving about Rize and after having ordered out I am wondering why it has taken me so long to eat here. This review is after ordering for take away. I shall leave a new review after dining in next time. :) The lady who answered and took my order was super nice and helpful, which I always appreciate because I usually have food questions, lol. I also ask questions usually to see what kind of management an establishment is under. This isn't always an accurate representation as new staff do occasionally go through training, but it's a pretty good starting point especially with nicer places. We arrived within 10 minutes of ordering and went inside to pay. Our food came out as soon as we were finished paying, so all in all I'd say from the start of the phone call to walking out with our food it was maybe 17-18 minutes, alotting for questions and answer time as well. As you can see this food is so fresh and colorful. It tastes even better than it looks! They pride themselves on a rotating seasonal menu focused on local ingredients. Pictured here is their Mushroom Toast with breakfast potatoes. 10/10, I would definitely eat this again. Bravo chef! read more

Came here for brunch with two friends and had an incredible experience, from the service to the food! I ordered a hot chocolate while my friends opted for coffee, and we loved our drinks! The hot chocolate was very sweet, which made it a little hard to finish after eating the main dish, but it was delicious! Our group ordered a breakfast sandwich, farmhouse waffles, and an egg tart--which not only looked gorgeous but tasted amazing! My friend ordered an everything bagel for her breakfast sandwich but received an english muffin, and our server (who was very attentive and friendly) helped correct the order quickly and without any issues! A great experience from start to finish! read more

One of these days I'll get something other than the menu item I always order: the Egg Tart. Imagine the most beautiful round fluffy egg covered with beautiful seasonal roasted veggies, hibiscus mustard, spinach, pickled red onion. If you go in different seasons it tastes completely different, but always delightful. I've had this no less than 4-5 times. Sometimes I change it up by adding on the "pop tart of the day", which is homemade, but they're usually too sweet for me. read more

Loved this place for breakfast. The service was quick and the staff were friendly. The ambience is cute. We got coffee, an avocado toast and a chia seed bowl.

I highly recommend visiting if you like having chia seed granola bowls or yogurt bowls for breakfast. read more

I visited Rize the other day for the first time to have brunch with my mom. We wanted to try something new and the menu looked to have a lot of fresh and healthy items. Rize Carmel far exceeded all our expectations! The food is bursting with flavor and the menu has a lot of unique options. Our waitress was amazing and I noticed the other servers seemed to be great at other tables and one even went above and beyond for an elderly group putting their walkers off to the side for them. I especially love the outdoor seating for when the weather is nice and indoors seemed to have quite a bit of seating. You should definitely give Rize Carmel a try for your next brunch! read more

My wife ordered Avocado sandwich with poached eggs. I ordered 3 sunny side up with bacon. My wife's poached eggs came out cold like they were just out of the refrigerator. One was hard and not runny. My sunny side up were cool, bacon was very tough. Service was horrible, waitress was from India or Iran, had an attitude. Gave credit for two poached eggs but not the sandwich. What kind of place does that. I would never go back here, how can you serve cold poached eggs? Complete failure. read more

One of our favorite brunch spots gained a second location! Owned by the local Cunningham Restaurant Group, Rize opened in the Ironworks building a few years ago. This year, the Carmel location opened and offers a ton of indoor and outdoor seating in the sun. The hostess was very friendly and it was only a five minute wait on a Saturday around noon. We were sat in a cozy booth and started with a few smoothies. I then got the avocado toast and soup of the day (potato leek). The food was very fresh and delicious! The toast was super hard to eat though, with crispy bread that was really hard to cut, but also hard to pick up. The soup hit the spot, but tasted strongly of pepper. Both would be perfect with a few tweaks. I love everything that this restaurant group does, so I look forward to returning and trying other menu items soon! read more
