RIZE Carmel

Love this spot! A thoughtful menu with options unlike other places, which we loved. We were in town and stopped in before a soccer game and will definitely be back! Our server Bre was super helpful, her and my pallets are the same so her recommendations were spot on! Great iced latte that hubby loved and the salad dressing is a maple vinegarette and it's perfect! Stop in for sure if you're nearby, you won't be disappointed!

Incredibly good food. I had not eaten at this restaurant before so I met a friend for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. We both had a quiche type entrée that looked great and tasted excellent. I will definitely go back to this restaurant in the future.

I came here during the Devour Indy event. Lucky, it was early in the morning and freezing cold, so there were very few customers. The restaurant was very clean and the food was great. The waitress was very friendly too. I ordered Traditional Benny and taste delicious. The egg blended so well with the sauce, avocado, and english muffin. The salad on the side was refreshing. Wasn't sure if it's part of the Devour Indy menu, but I was surprised they offered free refills for coffee. I was offered another full cup to take home with me. The only downside was I felt a bit rushed during and after my meal. Maybe it was due to a lot of customers coming in, but I guess it was my bad for not making a reservation in advance. Anyway, it was a great experience and I am willing to come again. I'm curious about the other foods and drinks on the menu.

Looks can be deceiving for sure. I ordered bacon, chicken sausage, a fruit cup, and diced potatoes. Standard breakfast staples. Literally NOTHING had any flavor. The bacon was over cooked and you could barely chew it at the same time. The chicken sausage had zero flavor, it was the worst chicken sausage I’ve ever had. The only food that I was able to even enjoy from this was the cooked, diced potatoes because I added salt and had some ketchup with them 😂 The servers are pleasant. But this is now the second time we have eaten here and the timing is not great. We had been seated for 15 minutes before we even had waters. Just wasn’t worth it.

My omelette was so greasy it was not edible. I tried to be nice, but mentioned it twice and the waitress was completely uninterested in adjusting my bill. An egg white omelette should not be swimming in grease or butter which ever it was. I’ve had better at Waffle House. For $19, I got to eat a protein bar from my purse. I’m so disappointed because we had a good experience at the location at Ironworks. The photo attached was after it was dabbed and covered an entire paper towel in grease. I tried warming it for my husband and the grease was still seeping out. Ultimately it went in the trash.

Came here looking for a fresh breakfast during a weekend stay for soccer. I couldn’t get past the picture of beautiful chia seed pudding bowl so I ordered one for carry out. Although the wait was a bit longer than I would have liked it was totally worth it. The berries were plump and delicious. The chia pudding had a slight coconut flavor that paired well with the rest of the bowl. The PB was creamy and fresh tasting and the granola added the perfect crunch. I’ll be back tomorrow ton try something else!!

We just went for breakfast and everyone was happy with their order and thought the food was super tasty! I ordered the granola bowl with berries and loved it! My brother who is a foodie from NY ordered the biscuits and gravy (which was a large portion), a homemade pop tart and a side of bacon. He raved about it all especially the pop tart! The only negative feedback was the bacon was definitely under cooked a bit with some softer chewy parts. If you like your bacon crispy all the way through I would ask for it that way. Otherwise flavor was so good! Lastly my daughter got the child size waffles and it was a perfect portion for her. All in all great food, ambiance and service so we will definitely be back!

Upscale breakfast spot with a fairly broad menu. The service was very good, quick, attentive and accurate. I had the Eggs Benedict which were amazing with several layers of flavor, prepared perfectly. The side of potatoes were a little under seasoned but alright.

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.

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.

Really great and unique brunch menu. I tried the tottler for the first time and it was an experience in its self. You've got to try it once. Great service and very modern vibe! At the top of my list for brunch spots.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Wow! Like really! Wow! I had the quinoa bowl without chicken but subbed for poached eggs. There was so much flavor in this dish that every bite was delish and never tasted the same. I'll be back!

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.

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!

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!

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 loved the chia seed bowl - it had great healthy and fresh ingredients. The qty was enough to share between 2 people. The avocado toast was ok. I highly recommend visiting if you like having chia seed granola bowls or yogurt bowls for breakfast.

We are big CRG customers and love all of the restaurants. However, I'd say this experience wasn't my favorite. The service was great, the inside of the restaurant was really pretty and colorful and had great music but the breakfast burrito we got was kind of bland and dry. I love sauce and there was virtually none. The waffles had this delicious maple whip but the waffles themselves were overcooked.

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. Our waiter brought out food/drinks in shifts to keep the kiddos occupied and offered friendly commentary on the books and activities we were doing at the table. 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!

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!

Love the egg tart...our server was attentive and helpful...we came for lunch on a Saturday and the restaurant was packed. Healthy choices, flavorful food. There are many choices for lunch in the area...this is a quality choice I would choose again soon.

Comfy and relaxing breakfast spot in beautiful Carmel. Great menu options from sweet to savory to healthy bowls. The breakfast sandwich was surprisingly smothered in gravy, but still yummy despite the unexpected utensil necessity. The crispy potato tottler is an amazing side. Perfectly fried on the outside. The service was fast and friendly, we talked about the Indy 500 coming up this weekend. Amazing breakfast spot here.

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!

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.

From the looks of the parking lot, I figured we would be waiting for a while but this restaurant is much bigger than it looks. I was surprised to be seated immediately. The food and service were excellent. We had to try the pop tart of the day as a snack while we waited for our food. It was so good, like a grown up version of the ones we all ate as a child. For my meal, I had the potato Egg Tart. It melted in my mouth.

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.

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!

I love that their food is fresh and the people are kind. My husband enjoys their biscuits and gravy! They also have a delicious salad that has some unique ingredients. I had to speak with their manager once and she took responsibility and rectified a small issue quickly. I was highly impressed!! I will be going back to share a nourishing breakfast with hubby!

Love rize! We always are able to get a bar spot on busy weekend mornings so that's win. The staff is always friendly and attentive. And the food is good. No complaints here!

We had a delicious late morning breakfast. The service was attentive to our needs. The biscuits and gravy was wonderful.

Profoundly extraordinary taste experience and surprisingly fam friendly. We held a special event here on a weekend and Rize did not disappoint!

Excellent brunch! Lots of options in this area but don't miss out on Rize. Accommodated a group of hungry volunteers which was greatly appreciated as drop in large parties can be difficult to seat. Greeted by friendly staff who got delightfully tasty warm drinks out quickly. Covered menu and questions for us newbies. Chorizo omelet was hit with group but all gave high marks for dishes. We will return again and add to our brunch rotation!

Met up with some family at Rize for brunch. They have a nice selection of brunch options to meet everyone's needs. My BLT was awesome and the service is great.

RIZE is 40 minutes away from my house and every visit is worth the drive. Every time I visit it's packed but I don't mind it, it brings the aura together. The room is filled with people laughing and family catching up with one another. This is the spot to do so. I loved everything about this resturant from the atmosphere, service, and food choice. They have their own special twist on homestyle breakfast food and a broad menu. From yogurt and granola to potato egg tart! Not to mention they also make smoothies in house as well! I got the classic fruit which not only tasted good, but made my body feel good. I also ordered the Yogurt and Granola and the fruit was so fresh and the yogurt was so sweet! Only complaint I have is I wish this place was closer!

Have seen those mouthwatering billboards of ooey gooey cinnamon rolls which made RIZE a "must try" on our list. Stopped in Carmel location for breakfast. Welcoming restaurant. Light, open restaurant with plenty of seating, a bar area, and nice clean decor, Menu served up array of tasty breakfast dishes. After asking a few questions we decided to sidetrack first options and tried the Egg Tart. Egg tart - never had one. Waiter described as somewhat similar to a quiche but so much lighter plus "often customers who try them are hooked forever." Count us in on that score....Absolutely delicious. Today's tart was topped with perfectly prepared veggies (yup, a veggie serving at breakfast!). So so good...will be back soon for another one! Was so full from breakfast that we ordered the cinnamon bun to go. Awesome waiter. Beautified presentation, reasonable prices. Plus learned it's part of Cunningham Restaurant group-great food!

I had brunch here with some friends on a Saturday and everything was wonderful. I had a hard time deciding what to get because everything sounded good, but went with the pork belly bowl and was not disappointed! The blend of quinoa, lentils and vegetables was hearty and tasty; it went well with the soy marinade and the tender, flavorful pork. The mango went really well with everything else. If you like sweet and savory together this dish is perfect! I went with the regular drip coffee which was excellent, but next time I'm going for one of the fancier coffee beverages as those looked really good. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed which, in my experience, isn't often the case with brunch places. The tables were nicely spaced and, because the dining area isn't huge, the noise level seems to stay low even when all tables are full. Parking is easy in the shared lot. As an added bonus, Rize is a Cunningham restaurant so you can earn points if you're a VIP member!

This salad is top tier and needed once a week. The dressing is phenomenal and the toppings like the mango just brings it all together

Really enjoyed my breakfast here. The staff was ver accommodating for our group of seven and our server was so good. She was very efficient and kept us happy even though it looked like she had some extra tables. I had a simple breakfast with eggs sausage bacon and hash browns. Nothing complicated but prepared so well. The potatoes were a highlight. Crispy and two nice sauces. The jam for the toast was amazing. Decor was simple but comfortable. I would recommend a reservation after 10am on Sunday. The line was long. Definitely go here. So good.

The chia pudding bowl is on my top ten Death Row Final Meal meal. Soooooooooo good. The pudding is perfect. The berry compote is delicious.

My mom and I decided to go here a few weeks ago and were pleasantly surprised! This place is located close to the heart of Carmel right off Old Meridian St. We walked in without a reservation and were seated within about 5 minutes which is good considering it was a Saturday morning. I started with their fresh-squeezed orange juice and if that wasn't reason enough to go then I do not know what is! We both decided to just order a few things and split them. We ordered the Avacado Toast, Biscuits and Gravy, and a side of bacon and eggs. The avocado toast, although it was good, was a bit more of a visual statement piece than something that is feasibly edible. It was a beautiful presentation, but when going for avocado toast, I wanted to see a lot more avocado over cheap toppings. The avocado toast also came with a fresh green salad and it was probably the best part of the order! The biscuits and gravy were absolutely phenomenal, the only thing is I wish there were a bit more sausage in the gravy. The eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly! I will definitely go back here with friends as there is a lot more of the menu that I wish to explore! Be sure to check it out if you are in the area!

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!

Two meetings in Carmel in one week means I get to try new to me restaurants. I love that Rize has gluten free items labeled on their menu! I got the chopped chicken salad and protein smoothie. The salad was huge and the chicken was great! I had to fight my daughter for the smoothie later in the day. I will certainly be back to try more and actually sit inside to enjoy the ambience.

This place was so tasty! I can't wait to come back and try some of the vegan options. I was also torn between the fizzy drinks and a latte. I ultimately chose a Carmel latte but will be back for the Fizzy drinks. I got the chorizo omelette and it was so tasty!

One of my favorite brunch spots! 9A reservation on Christmas Eve with no wait and personalized service. The food was so yummy! Carmel has onsite free parking with spacious dining.

We went on a Sunday morning for brunch, it was busy but the service was great. Our food was good and the coffee was even better!!

Rize is by far my favorite breakfast spot in Indy. The coffee is always hot and so good. I got the eggs Benedict and the egg was cooked perfectly. It came with a salad and very light and refreshing dressing.

Stopped in close to closing time and they were very accommodating. Sat at the bar area, beautiful restaurant and great service. Also some interesting equipment. Typical cappuccino machine but also had a juicer and a water machine. I ordered the Chorizo Omelette which was cooked to perfection. Substituted a side of fruit for the potato offerings. It had an avocado aioli on top which was very tasty. Highly recommend this location.

We're visiting the Indianapolis area for a convention and staying down the street from Rize in Carmel. I convinced my husband we should get an early start so we could check out Rize and it was well worth it! The space is super cute, the service was awesome and the food and coffee were amazing! We started with the Rize & Shine Mocha, a vanilla cappuccino and a seasonal pop tart (strawberry lemonade), all of which were very tasty. I had the chia seed pudding bowl, which was filled with fresh fruit, delicious preserves, granola, almond butter and chia seed pudding. Everything went so well together. Absolutely delish! My husband had the vegetarian omelet with salad and really enjoyed his meal as well. If we're ever back in the area, we'd definitely stop in at Rize again!

My girlfriends and I stopped here for a Christmas brunch today, and it was delicious!! This location is really nice. Very spacious, beautiful, and not too loud. We got a couple of bottles of bubbly along with various mimosa accoutrement, so this review is written through a slightly buzzy haze. The mixers for the mimosas were very good; I particularly enjoyed the citrus lavender, although my friends seemed to be gravitating towards the pomegranate. This also seemed to be the most cost effective way to enjoy a mimosa...after four appetizers and four entrees with the two bottles of Prosecco we all still only paid about 40 dollars. I didn't love my minty homemade pop tart; I guess i thought it would be flaky pastry rather than short crust? The biscuits and homemade jam were flaky and delicious though, which was a good distraction. My entree was SO GOOD. I had the potato waffle, and the layered flavors were rich and satisfying. My friend also loved her chicken salad croissant, which she said had a really balanced flavor. The best thing at this restaurant are the crispy potatoes. Do not leave without trying them. Our service experience was great. They were patient with us (we were doing a gift exchange) and very attentive. I am sure we will return many times!

Like many reviewers, the expectation for Rize was high, and poorly met. Their website boasts beautifully plated platters of food and yummy sounding combinations, but beautiful pictures and yummy words do not = good food. The ambiance reminds me of an upscale Panera (no shade btw, I love Panera) so I expected a similar level of food with a little extra *jazz*. However, the food had quite a few shortcomings. We ordered iced lattes - they have oat milk, yay! - which were slightly bitter. I assume this is due to improper technique with making the espresso, which fine, I probably should have assumed that coffee would have been a better choice. For food, we ordered the chorizo omelette, the pork belly bowl, and the chicken dijon mustard croissant sandwich. The reviews for each are as follows: Chorizo omelette: the egg portion was light and fluffy but the chorizo was a tad too salty. The side of fruit seemed fresh and was not the kind of fruit salad from a bucket most places will give you. 3.5/5 Pork belly bowl: absolutely a flop. The pork belly was hard and overly saturated with what I assume to be a soy marinade. Super salty! The brown rice was somehow mushy and the mango was not ripe. I couldn't even finish half of it... 1/5 Chicken sandwich: The croissant was nice and flaky, soft to the bite. The chicken was dry, but passable. Dijon seasoning was subtle. 3.5/5 Aside from the food, our server was incredibly kind, and that seemed to be a consistent theme with the rest of the staff. 5/5 for service.
