We stopped by Rise for breakfast and loved this cozy, laid-back café. My partner and I ordered French toast, pancakes, eggs, and iced tea. The café had a charming vibe, with self-serve coffee. The pancakes were cooked just right—not rubbery like at some diners. The French toast looked beautiful and tasted just as delicious as it appeared. The scrambled eggs were perfectly done too. The staff were friendly, attentive, and courteous. Locals are fortunate to have this spot, and for visitors, Rise is definitely a breakfast must-try.
What a fantastic find! While driving from Cape Cod to New York, we found ourselves craving a gluten-free grilled cheese sandwich, and this spot really stood out. The gluten-free bread was unexpectedly delicious and had a great texture. The way the food was prepared and presented was flawless, and the prices were very fair. I can't wait to come back and try more of their gluten-free offerings. The staff were charming and welcoming, and everything, including the restroom, was spotless. I highly recommend stopping by!
I had an exceptional experience with the Eggs Benedict featuring sausage, which was clearly made from locally sourced and possibly small-batch ingredients. My girlfriend chose the peanut butter and bacon breakfast sandwich, and I had a bite of it. It included a medium-cooked egg, two strips of bacon, and peanut butter on an English muffin. While it may sound odd, it was surprisingly delicious, and we both highly recommend trying it. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable.
As a farmer, I tend to be quite particular about food. I really appreciate when fresh ingredients are used and flavors are well-balanced, which unfortunately isn't the case at many restaurants. However, I have to say that the Eggs Benedict I had for breakfast this morning was the best I've ever had! The combinations were just perfect, and it came with a lightly dressed fresh salad on the side. I will definitely be returning!

If you're looking for the best breakfast in Mystic—and possibly in all of Connecticut—look no further! The freshness of the food is genuinely apparent, thanks to the locally sourced ingredients. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive, contributing to a wonderful dining experience. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that we came back the very next day for another meal. Don't miss out on this gem!
Rise is a small yet charming restaurant. I appreciated the self-serve coffee station. The Chahalla French toast topped with fresh strawberries and bananas was delicious! The fruit was very fresh. The eggs benedict was tasty, though the hollandaise sauce had a slightly strong egg flavor for my taste. The staff were incredibly friendly.
This is a lovely, laid-back spot with fantastic breakfast options. I really enjoyed the complimentary coffee while we waited, and I appreciated being able to grab my own cup. We didn’t have to wait long—only about 10 minutes. I definitely recommend it for a relaxed brunch outing.
Always a great breakfast here. Thumbs ups: location, self serve coffee, menu variety, meal quality, fresh greens, some outside seating. Thumbs downs: side windows need cleaned (distraction).
