If you are closed at 9:30 in the morning and you are a breakfast place perhaps try turning OFF your "open" sign and locking your door? And update your online hours and/or Facebook. And maybe try "I'm sorry we are closed" vs simply yelling at us "we're closed!" as we walk in the door.

The restaurant was not crowded Our waitress came back to our table 3 times about a breakfast order with only two adults and a child at the table. We ordered 1 chaga tea 1 unsweetened tea 1apple juice 1 omelette 1breakfast sandwich which was served on white bread 1 kids 2 egg and bacon 52.00 Service was terrible Food was equivalent to dennys and the potatoes as a side were not cooked completely Do yourself a favor go anywhere else

I wish I could comment on the food, but I was sat outside and handed a menu and left for 20 mins with no water or follow up whatsoever. To say the service was bad is giving them more credit than is due, I received no service at all. I live in the area and will not attempt giving this place my business ever again.

While visiting Asheville, NC this past weekend we ate at Rise 'n Shine for breakfast (04-09-2022). It took just under an hour for us to get our order. This is not a large restaurant and it wasn't that busy. Several customers that were seated after us got their orders ahead of us. I had the Eggs Benedict and it was cold. I didn't want to send it back in fear of another hours wait. We will not be returning!

Food and coffee were cold and sub par, especially for the pricing. We always prefer to dine with local businesses while traveling. However, you'd be much better served at a Starbucks or Bojangles over this location. Not worth it

1st ones (party of 3) in the restaurant today and waited 45mins, saw 2 other parties get there plates b4 us. Finally got up and left. No apology, no care, didnt have the courtesy to give drinks to us. DO NOT EAT HERE!

My husband and I had breakfast this morning on a rare date - it smelled incredible when we walked in. We are both vegetarian, and were so happy to see so many veg options (local tempeh and veg sausage!), local eggs, Chaga tea.....friendly service and a good vibe!! I’m so happy we gave Rise n Shine a try. We’ll definitely be back!!

Very busy but fast and friendly. Food is.good, hash browns portion a little small. Omelette with goat cheese wonderful. Blackberry basil jam? Clever and great! Green sage is across the street but tired of overpriced food and millennials with attitude. Recommend this place.

The bacon & eggs were good. However, the whole-wheat pancakes had a bitter after taste. I recommend that management make sure batter is fresh.

My wife and I went here while visiting Asheville. One of the best breakfast meals I have had in a while. Everything was made from scratch, even the jelly! Delicious food, great service.

“Please seat yourself” and apparently serve yourself too. We had a server pass us multiple while greeting others. He didn’t even acknowledge us. We walked back inside to see if any of the 5 empty tables were cleaned off yet in hopes of getting better service inside but nope. We stood there awhile and nobody even spoke to us. Customer service was awful. I’ve been in the industry since I was a teen, no excuses for that experience.

Nice people. Reliable breakfast food. Nothing particularly special about the food, but just fine. I've liked everything I've been served there and service is good.
