Rise - Springfield

The ambiance is definitely enjoyable. I appreciate the well-maintained plants and the music. Overall, it has a nice vibe, and I like the location. The food is of good quality. I tried the Circle B ham eggs Benedict on sourdough, which was really tasty, but I wished it had more of the homemade hollandaise, as it was quite sparse. Some might argue that less is more, but when it comes to delicious sauces, I prefer a generous portion. The dish had plenty of ham, which almost made up for the lack of sauce. The tableware was nice, with quality flatware and cloth napkins, all of which I appreciated. One downside was that my latte was served just above lukewarm—perhaps I should have asked for it extra hot? The service was excellent, with friendly staff. I would definitely come back!

The food was truly outstanding. Both the avocado toast and French toast were delightful. However, I found that most of the menu items felt a bit overpriced for a counter-service place. I wouldn't mind a $45 bill for two people if it included table service, but the prices felt a bit steep for this type of establishment. I also noticed that several staff members appeared to be standing idle, even though the restaurant was nearly full. Additionally, I was surprised by the no-refill policy for coffee. While I can understand it for fresh-squeezed juice, a brunch spot should definitely offer coffee refills.

Rise offers excellent food, but it can be a bit expensive because they tend to charge for any extras like butter, jam, syrup, and more. Overall, it's a good dining spot, and we plan to return. Just be prepared to spend a bit!

Great location, beautiful cafe. However, stingy. Ordered French toast and received 2 pieces of toast with no syrup. Asked for syrup, was provided half ounce and told that because it was grade A maple syrup if we wanted more they would be happy to charge for it and informed they already pay $8 for a dozen eggs. No refills on house coffee. No table service. Bizarre experience

This place is our go to for brunch if we can't decide on anything else. So many options for beverages, food, and desserts. The decor is very cute. And we had a group of about 15 people one time and the servers were wonderful about accommodating us. Will be back!
