Stood at the register with my 2 young daughters to pick up my big phone order but a White guy in the front didn’t even acknowledge me. He was acting like he didn’t see we was there. Maybe he was overwhelmed? I don’t know but he should at least say he’ll get to me or someone will. Felt so disrespected after spending so much money on the phone order. Finally a waitress who was busy herself was kind enough to ask if we needed help. The food was ok like any other breakfast place.

Third time to Rise and Shine Café and love the food! The Corned beef hash is a must and if you’re looking for something sweet try the Sweet Bread French Toast! Love the service and they gave me a coffee to go each day I came before I left for work.

Not a bad place for breakfast but today we had lunch here and I had their ahi taco special which was really good, just needed a touch of citrus lime to top it off and bring out the flavors just a bit more. The homemade mac and cheese was quite cheesy and a big portion for my son but tasty!

I’m not usually in the Mililani area that often, but the boyfriend stays out here when he comes to visit Oahu. We recently went to Rise and Shine on a Monday for breakfast and got there soon after it opened. I’m an avid Rise and Shine follower on Instagram, but I’m sorry to say that I’ve never eaten any of their entrees yet. I’ve only gotten bakery goods from their display case because they were just too good to pass up! I can’t wait to actually order an entrée from here. I love the ambiance of Rise and Shine, and the workers there are really nice. During my two trips thus far – both around 7 a.m. – it’s pleasant inside and not even crowded because it was a weekday, and I wasted no time in getting to the eatery. Rise and Shine is located in a plaza(not too far from Starbucks) and there’s plenty of parking. I already can’t wait for my next visit to try some of the eggs benedicts. Here’s what we got: «Cinnamon Roll»: This is what I ordered during my very first visit to Rise and Shine. I couldn’t pass up those huge cinnamon rolls … and they’re not even very expensive. You definitely get your money’s worth with this one. There’s layers of gooey, cinnamony goodness and the rolls tasted fresh(not hard and stale). Granted, I came early in the morning so I had the cream of the crop. Definitely recommend ordering one of these to share(if you’re not like me and this doesn’t end up being your breakfast entrée). «Three Layer Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting»: I always see photos of this delectable dessert on Instagram and I always want it, being a chocolate peanut butter fanatic. So, since it was available during our visit, I just decided to go for it. Me(to the boyfriend): «I know I probably shouldn’t be eating cake for breakfast … but I’ve always wanted to try it …» Boyfriend: «Just get it and then I can have some too.» The peanut butter chocolate cake was everything I envisioned it would be and it tasted just as delicious as it looked on Instagram. The chocolate cake itself was moist(not super crumbly and dry), but it was the layers of creamy peanut butter that really made this dessert phenomenal. There was a good mix of both, chocolate and peanut butter, and since there was cream cheese, the peanut butter flavor was creamy as well. I especially loved the top layer and the end of the cake. Worth every penny of the $ 5.50 you’ll spend on a slice(and the extra cardio you’ll have to do later). You can always take one of these slices to go as well, since they’re in containers in the bakery display case. I don’t think the workers expected me to order one for breakfast. «Iced Coffee»: I’m not sure if the Rise and Shine iced coffee is a special blend, but I really enjoyed it. The boyfriend got hot coffee but I wanted the sweeter iced one. It tasted delicious and went very well with my slice of cake. «Homemade Granola, Yogurt & Fruit»: The boyfriend ordered this twice so far because of the homemade granola and he loves eating fruits in the morning. This healthier selection(compared to my slice of cake and cinnamon roll) included vanilla yogurt, papayas, strawberries, blueberries and bananas. Sometimes I tend to be wary of yogurt + fruit choices at restaurants because I don’t like super tart yogurt. But, I actually liked the version at Rise and Shine. The yogurt tasted fresh and wasn’t overly tangy, and my boyfriend really enjoyed the selection of fresh fruits. I ate some of the bananas and the granola had to be my favorite part. It was chewy but subtly crunchy, just the way I like it. If you feel like eating something healthy and lighter for breakfast, this option is perfect.

It’s been 2 years since I tried this restaurant and I do have to say things have improved. Last time, I wasn’t impressed by the food because all they had were continental breakfast items. Now, they have a greater selection of food on their menu. This visit I ordered eggs benedict and pancakes. Maple Pancakes — This came with 2LARGE pancakes and a small cup of assorted fruit(pineapple, honeydew, cantaloupe). The pancakes were pretty good, they were as large as the plate and fluffy. If you get this, you might want to share with someone. Traditional Eggs Benedict — I got half order and with the potatoes, this was already filling enough. Nothing special here, tasted like your usual eggs benedict. Overall, the selection in menu items have changed from 2014 to the present 2016. This is a small restaurant so be sure to come early for seats.

Was hoping to get breakfast but my friend was arriving later than planned. She had the apple chicken salad with a order of fries. I had the fresh furikake fish sandwich which happened to be ahi. My sandwich was large and delicious, the garlic aioli was super yummy. I had a few French fries, cooked perfectly. My friend finished all her salad said everything was good. Next time I want to have breakfast it looked so yummy!

Rise and Shine Café is one of those places that love to make you feel special. The servers are always making meaningful conversation as well as always smiling and cheerful. Aside from the awesome atmosphere, the food is amazing! You can pretty much point at anything on the menu and be satisfied; but its always a great time to see their specials which almost always sways my choice on what to eat.

Arrive here early when café opens. If not, be prepared to sign in on a wait list. If you love or your heart is set on traditional eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon and hollandaise sauce, save that money because taste is mediocre. Diced potatoes were over cooked and dry that made me add some hollandaise sauce for some ummph! On a positive note, definitely dine here in the morning for fresh, huge, homemade, and delicious cinnamon roll. That is one amazing way to start off on the right path.

My wife and I decided to try this place on memorial day. I called ahead to check they were open. We got there about 8:00am. There was a waiting list about 5 parties ahead of us, but the wait was only 10 minutes tops. My wife tried the corned beef hash(based on Unilocal reviewers). The corned beef hash was real corned beef, which is good, but not as tender as I heard. The corned beef was rubbery, but the potatoes were okay, but overall pretty dry. The meal was okay. I tried the loco moco with fried rice. The gravy was good, the fried rice was tasty, and the hamburger had a good flavor, but then I noticed it had a odd texture, like the meat would squeak when my teeth chomped on it. I can never say for sure, but I’ve had similar hamburgers that I got from Sam’s Club or Costco. They are good all meat patties, but not handmade. I always like to try loco mocos to try handmade patties, since people make various patties. I was just a little disappointed by that. The service was good. They were very attentive and helpful. The restaurant is fairly small, so it was easy to get their attention. The parking lot has a lot of stalls, so no problem with accessibility. I might have not ordered the right things here, but it’s not enough to entice me to take a drive to Mililani for another go.

Came here for breakfast with friends after seeing a post on Instagram of the blueberry cream cheese bread pudding. I love breakfast places so this place was a must. I ordered the Loco Moco eggs benefit since benedicts are my favorite breakfast food. The sirloin hamburger patty was ultimately the best tasting burger in a Loco Moco. So juicy. The brown gravy and the hollandaise sauce mixed together made for the perfect topping. Served with tasty breakfast potatoes, this was probably the best benedict I’ve had thus far. My friends ordered the Loco Moco with fried rice and the sweet bread french toast. They were super satisfied with their choices as I was. We ordered the blueberry cream cheese bread pudding for dessert to share. AWESOME!!! That one word sums it up. The taste, the texture, the flavor… Needs no other words to describe it. Purely AWESOME!!! I will definitely be visiting this place more.

Fresh local ingredients? Check Friendly Wait staff? Check Tasty food? Check Open for Breakfast, brunch and lunch? Check The Eggs Benedict is on point. I believe the owner is a pastry chef, so the Cinnamon Buns is a must try. The place is small and gets busy, so expect a wait. I promise it is worth it

I started my last review with«I love this place when they’re having a good day.» Well… yesterday was definitely not a good day :( Today I ordered my second favorite: corned beef hash eggs benedict. It arrived looking pretty as always! I poked my fork into my egg in anticipation of yellow yolk oozing onto my corned beef hash and English muffin, but my dreams were bursted when I realized my egg was over poached. No worries, I know it can be challenging to poach an egg. But then I realized my English muffin was soft-not the once toasted now soft due to hollandaise sauce-it was soft, straight out the packaging soft. F it! I’m hungry. I can deal with an over poached egg and soft English muffin BUT then the potatoes in my corn beef hash were hard and undercooked. I reminded the waitress that eat there all the time(2 – 3 times a month) and know that the plate wasn’t their standards; she apologized and had another plate made more me. That plate also came out looking delicious as hell, but it was a straight insult. It was almost as if the chef said ‘your egg is overcooked. Well f you… here’s a raw egg biyatch.’ Yep… that’s right. My second plate had a raw egg. Raw egg whites By the way… one of my friends who was with me ordered Traditional Eggs Benedict. First plate had one over poached egg and one under poached eggs. She returned the undercooked one and was served another under cooked one. The waitress was extremely apologetic and sympathetic. She also denied having a new chef so I guess it was just a bad day, a really bad one. Since there aren’t any other breakfast places in Mililani… I’ll be back

I wanted to like this place but I was so disappointed. Everything was blah, the food, service and atmosphere. My husband had the Loco Moco. Not much flavor kinda bland. I had the breakfast burrito. Small, sad, and flavorless. I would come back to try dessert but I’m afraid to spend anymore money here.

Rise and Shine has always been a convenient and cute place to meet up with friends for weekend brunches. Our last visit wasn’t bad, the food was just very bland. Loco moco eggs benedict sounded great so I got the half order(comes w/breakfast potatoes). Sadly the beef patty was dry and flavorless. Even the gravy didn’t taste like anything but roux and pepper. And just like their other bennies, the hollandaise is never right. It’s never the right consistency, always loose and oily. Oh and my egg was overcooked, no runny middle at all… boo! The potatoes were really yummy this time… usually they’re bland, but it had great seasoning. Honestly their menu items are nothing unique, it just gets the job done for breakfast fiends in the area. Omelettes, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, etc… usually served until 11a I believe. Their lunch menu thereafter, salads, sandwiches, daily specials are standard and IMO lacks flavor as well. The service and atmosphere is great tho, which is why we visit every now and then. Will probably be back in another few months again.

Before heading to the north shore, my friend and I stopped here for breakfast. Luckily, the line wasn’t long and we got seated right away! I ordered the traditional eggs benedict. I love eggs benedict and I was glad that i tried theirs. Each part of the dish was delicious! Toasted english muffins, tasty canadian bacon, perfectly cooked poached eggs, and a buttery hollandaise sauce. The eggs benedeict is served with seasoned potatoes which complemented the dish well. The staff are very friendly here as well. They keep up with filling up waters and remembered to check up on us every once in a while. Next time I come back I need to try their desserts. They look amazing!

I was super stoked a cutesy brunch spot opened up in mililani! I even Unilocaled pictures of what I was going to eat and had everything planned out in my head(idk if you guys do that, but I do lol). We’ve been way overdue for one of these places(the only other breakfast place is like zippys– which I love btw lol). But I was super disappointed when we came here! For some reason I thought breakfast was all day on the weekends(we came on a Saturday) but unfortunately that only applies to Sunday. Well ok, no problem. So my best friend and I decided to just get something from the lunch menu. The lunch menu was so small compared to the breakfast menu. It’s literally just the back page while breakfast takes up the two front pages. Granted this is a brunch spot, but I would think they would have a larger variety for the lunch hour too. And did I mention they’re out of pretty much everything pastry-like(I literally came here for the cinnamon rolls) by this time– we came around 12-ish. Food: I ended up getting the pesto fish special with brown rice, which was really good!!! My BFF got some type of salad which she said was good esp the dressing. Food alone I would give 4 stars! Service: this is when things went downhill. The server we had said she was new, so I understood she didn’t know a lot about the menu. She told me I could order a soup or salad with my special, so I ordered soup. 5 minutes later she came back saying she could only give me two scoops of brown rice instead of the soup. Okayyy. So I took the 2 scoops of brown rice. Then, my BFF asked another server for some lemons, and the girl gave it to her on a napkin! Is that even sanitary? Maybe she thought it was to go into our waters, so she didnt think to put it on a plate, but it wasn’t. My BFF has a disease that disables her from eating a lot of different foods and seasonings. So, she uses the lemon to season her bland food. Idk maybe im overreacting but to me this was unacceptable. Atmosphere: pretty clean. Lots of seats and tables, there were a lot of open tables when we got there. I’m going to give this place another shot, during breakfast time(hopefully they’ll have the cinnamon rolls) and keep you posted on how it goes

Three words, KEYLIMEPIE!!! Full of awesome flavor which makes you taste buds SMILE :) During Thanksgiving and Christmas, they also had a Pumpkin Mousse Cheesecake. I think that’s what it was called. I really enjoyed it very much and I don’t even like Pumpkin Crunch or usually anything with Pumpkin in it. Breakfast and lunch is good, I mean… nothing to go crazy for. Service is good and friendly too. Just an FYI, they serve Pepsi.

Me & my family are true breakfast lovers! When this place opened in Mauka we were excited. Many of there items are no doubt delicious but I have to say they are way over priced for the quantity of food they give. This morning we ordered 4 local breakfast plates all with 3 eggs, rice & bacon. The bill was +$ 60. Got home opened our plates and we were lucky if we had 1 and a half eggs on each plate. $ 11+ for a small scoop of rice, three pieces of bacon, 1 and a half scrambled eggs & one slice of toast is a rip off. Even McDonald’s gives more food than that in their local deluxe platter. Really disappointed!

I went there breakfast several times and the last 2 times, had breakfast items with the corned beef hash. The corned beef hash is REALLY good! Almost like cubed ham or corn beef, with seasoned cut potatoes & garlic. I think it is the best on the island if you ask me! Just a side order of that and rice, along with coffee will fill me up… but I had mine with eggs benedict. I went on a weekday, as soon as it opened at 7:00AM, so lots of parking in front, before the post school drop-off crowd, and so pretty much I walked it, was seated immediately, and food came very quickly. All the servers are very attentive, friendly and polite. Service is A+. It is a new place, not very big… maybe seat 40(?) people or so. But very nice, simple décor. So if you’re in Central Oahu, looking for a place to get a nice breakfast, Rise & Shine Café is definitely a place to try.

I got take out from here on Saturday and I got a salad, it was so yummy that I wanted to try their breakfast on Sunday. They were really friendly and we were seated pretty quickly however the waitress kept getting our order wrong. She brought orange juice for my child even though I had asked for fruit punch then I had ordered the veggie omelet with no onions or bell peppers however it came back WITH onions and NO mushrooms. The table next to us said the waitress got their order wrong also but she was so nice we all didn’t want to complain. She didn’t write anything down so maybe that’s why she got our orders wrong. So if you go on a Sunday be prepared to expect whatever your waitress brings out because it might be wrong but the food was still good.

Love this place! Very convenient if you live in Mililani and want a cute, tasty, Instagram worthy breakfast! Usually it is very crowded, so expect a bit of a wait, but the longest I’ve ever had to wait was around 20 mins, an average and reasonable amount. The inside is on the smaller side, but they do an excellent job and maximizing what they have without overcrowding the place. Service is usually very good unless they are jam packed, but cmon, we all get a little on our toes when we have to do 1001 things all at once. Food is always consistent and yummy! Things I always get and recommend are: –Fruit and granola(blueberries, papaya, strawberries, bananas, and homemade granola over yogurt) — French Toast(the regular one is great but they often do speciality types like strawberry cream cheese and things like that, and they’re amazing!) — Any of the Eggs Benedict(I usually get the florentine, and it comes with potatoes which are my favorite and I usually order and extra side of them!) All in all, I come here often and will keep coming back. I have made friends with one of the waitresses too

Great breakfast spot and the fact that it’s less than 10 mins from my house makes it that much better. The staff are always welcoming and friendly. The coffee is so good and I never have to look around for a refill. I love the vanilla mac nut coffee. I’ve had a lot of different items on the menu. I love that you can get a half order benedict. The bendict comes with potatoes which I’m personally not a huge fan of, but they’re not bad. The breakfast burrito is a popular item. It’s delicious and a great value. I don’t think they add enough avocado, for the extra cost. The pancakes are massive. When I ordered pancakes, I immediately asked for a box to put one of them away for later. The blueberry pancakes came with blueberry syrup which was a pleasant surprise! There wouldn’t have been enough syrup for both pancakes though– they’re pretty thick and quickly soak up the syrup, but I’m sure they’d be happy to provide more. My favorite dish is the local style breakfast plate with kimchi fried rice. It’s been perfect every time. I look forward to trying everything on the menu!

Finally a good breakfast place not located in town! There are a variety of items you can choose from such as traditional eggs and rice, french toast, omelettes, Benedict’s, etc. I’m a big fan of their Eggs Benedict! There are about four different ones to choose from and all of them are delicious! You can order half which is one english muffin with one egg or whole which is with two english muffin and two eggs. So, you could order half of two different Benedict’s and try two in one visit! There are many welcoming and nice waitresses in the small breakfast restaurant that service has never been slow. They also serve unique, local desserts which I will be going back to try!

So the first time I came here was when they first opened & from what I remember, I was unimpressed. Having said that, I haven’t been there since. Today, my boyfriend & I woke up early and decided that maybe we’d go try it again. The wait was about 15 minutes, which is fine because their restaurant is so small. Once we sat, our server(local lady) greeted us right away and took our order. We ordered 2 of the veggie omelettes, side of corned beef hash, and a side of Kim chee fried rice. The food came out so quick &OMG all of our food was so delicious! Our server was very prompt at checking on us. What a big change from our first experience, we’ll definitely be back.

Cute place with good food! It seemed busy thay morning, but the wait wasn’t long at all. We got seated within five minutes and as I looked at the menu, this place was a bit pricey. I ordered a vegetable omelet and so did my friend. For the price of $ 10.95, I guess I could say it was worth it. The omelet was stuffed with a lot of veggies and a generous amount of roasted potatoes! The server we had was very nice. She didn’t seem to rush us and filled our waters consistently. Good place overall!

I’ve been here on multiple occasions and always good. I tend to order the same, I don’t really venture out with Benedicts or burritos but today I decided to try the breakfast burrito. I added avocado and it came with a roasted tomato salsa. Everything was great, I ordered a cinnamon roll to start. They warmed it up so it was nice and sticky with a cream cheese frosting, so good! Normally on the weekends if you come there will be a wait longest I’ve experienced was 15 – 20 mins. Inside is pretty small and intimate so you may be sitting closely to another patron. Parking is pretty slim also, the mall is pretty busy with Longs and Starbucks right there and has a lot of stores nearby. Waitstaff is pretty friendly, there has been one girl that has been there from the beginning that I always recognize when we come there just can never remember her name and I don’t think they wear name tags, which maybe they should start. Or maybe I never noticed but anywho she’s always on top of it with refills and checking to see if we’re okay, etc. Some of the other girls aren’t as good. All in all I would recommend, weekdays are slower so if you have a day off and wanna grab a bite to eat I would say definitely try it. They serve lunch also and have only dined in once but the burgers were also good, they also have daily specials and fish plates, etc. Check out there IG!

Got here around 830 in the morning and already there was a line. The inside isn’t very big, but the turnaround time is fast! There were about 4 names ahead of me. I probably waited less than 20 minutes and got seated. Very cute and colorful inside. Décor is simple. Tables and chairs are simple. Almost diner style, but with a little more effort. The menu is simple. You’ve got your basic breakfast items. I ordered their loco moco, sub the white rice for fried rice. It was very tasty and I enjoyed it very much. The portion is actually pretty big! Probably could’ve shared that with someone if I wanted to. Ample parking since it is located in a shopping complex. Staff is super friendly and very attentive. I’d definitely come back here if I’m ever in the area that early in the day! Enjoy!

Food is great. I got the eggs bene, kinda expensive is what everyone in this area says, but it is good. They need to add more hollandaise sauce they tend to never add enough, I always need to request for a side order of more. When they first opened, they use to give more breakfast potato, like enough to split, but now its barely enough for one person. The breakfast burrito is awesome though, price is worth it. This place is very crowded on the weekends, expect to wait at least half hour. Restaurant is very nice and comfortable, clean, workers are friendly. I live close by so we tend to do take out and call our order in.

Cute little place in Mililani Mauka. It is pretty popular especially on weekends so be prepared to wait a bit. Staff is friendly and welcoming. My first experience was a take out order when they first opened. I felt the portion was pretty small for the price. I was comparing it to Koa pancake house so… probably will not be doing take out anymore. The second time I came I got the Loco Moco which to me was meh. The patty was good but the gravy tasted like it came from a can. But Pancakes were good. Since the reviews were so good I decided to give Rise and Shine another try chalking up my previous two experiences as earlier pains of a new business. But from the Unilocal review it sounds like they stepped up their game. I am so glad I did. Mahi Benedict was yummy and French Toast was so Ono! Ok Rise and Shine you got me!

On Saturday mornings I always like to think it’s a day to rise and shine for some breakfast in bed or at a nice café! This specific Saturday, we didn’t shine out of bed very quickly and we made it up to Mililani from Ewa around 1PM. There was no wait here which was awesome since we had a late start and I was hungry. The menu was much smaller than I anticipated which was fine. A small menu was just not what I had expected with all the reviews and good reviews at that. Everything around us was pretty clean, it’s a small place and depending on where you’re sitting, you can see into the kitchen a bit. At least, I could from my seat near the middle of the restaurant. I decided to go against ordering breakfast and I ordered the reuben sandwich with chips. Not the Aussie chips I like to image with a sandwich but the sandwich was served with crunchy potato chip chips. Meh. My food was SO oily and buttery. I couldn’t even stand to eat more than half my sandwich and chips are lame so a few of those and I was bored. I probably could have paid to upgrade to french fries but I didn’t want to. And, fresh fruit wasn’t an option that morning for whatever reason. :( The service was good but the food was sooooo lame. Seriously, nothing special here. Again, meh.

After multiple visits I can only give Rise and Shine café my HIGHESTRECOMMENDATIONS, Please come here, help this small business grow so they can one day RULETHEWORLD! Or. .. maybe buy the old Sizzlers building by Safeway at least. This restaurant is the best breakfast place in Mililani, and likely the best one for a few miles around Mililani as well, you have people that wait outside for them to open(like me) and the location is frequented by Military personnel(they find the good food so you know its good). The food is amazing, well cooked, plated well and very tasty. I never leave here disappointed. If they had a dinner service I would be here three times as much as I am now. The staff is great here, it’s family owned and operated from what I understand and I love the vibe that the employees give off, even though I was«that guy» that came in right at 6am and ordered a ton of stuff. My food was prepared and on the table fast and hot. As an added bonus, the person that chooses the music for this place is an absolute BOSS, as discussed in my last review. I really hope this restaurant is around till the end of days and I will continue to support them.

For some unknown reason, when I sat here, I felt like I was still on vacation in the mainland, maybe because of the style of food — potatoes with most dishes and the interior décor of the restaurant. Unfortunately when we arrived at 1pm, they were still serving breakfast only, so we only had half the choices on the menu: Eggs benedict with fish — For $ 15, we got two thick slabs of fish topped with poached eggs and a light sauce. Served with potatoes. veggie omelette — for $ 11, the omelette was huge, filled with cheese, mushroom, red bell pepper, onions, etc. However, it was served with potatoes which is not a local dish. Loco moco — for $ 12, it was ok but nothing special. Service — 5 stars — I changed my order because I couldn’t really decide what to eat and the waitress was really nice and pleasant about my indecisiveness. She was really busy but still served her customers with a great attitude and cheerfulness. It seems a bit pricey but the amount of food plus the flavors are worth the price.
