Rise and Shine Cabaret Cafe

I hate to give this little gem a bad review, but the service is sub par when the owner is not helping you. When she is cooking or helping you can expect the best; however, the few times I have been when she not present, all receive is a bad attitude. The food is great and they have yummy cocktails! The price is good also, but until she gets someone who at a minimum who is friendly and doesn't behave as is asking for cutlery is overwhelming them, I won't be coming back.

I got word from one of the dozens of random posts on social media feeds you typically see that someone found a neat spot with vegan options outside of Seattle. Fast forward about a year later, I've made a few stops.Atmosphere ~ 4.5. The first thing that grabbed my attention were the high-back throne chairs amidst their whole aesthetic. Think purple & gold colors plus movies like Alice in Wonderland, Fantasia, Harry Potter(?), etc. And yes, their comfort level is super decent and great for photos. I've never seen these chairs before outside of cartoons. Overall, the space feels rather hippy & boujee in a cool & charming sense.Staff ~ 3.5/4. Generally they're nonchalant in my experience. You may encounter a few slightly more uppity/enthusiastic in personality, such as Crystal or Toni, but they're often busy with other affairs.Food ~ 4. I've had a few savory toasts/salad items and the turmeric spiced sweet potato fries. I think the menu is a bit pescatarian(?) but super decent vegan options deep in the south end.Feedback: service can be YMMV (inconsistent). Sometimes it can feel slightly slow and other times about right. I also tried my 1st smoothie last month and I found a piece of hair in it. I admire the whole concept; just needs to polish a bit around the edges, if you catch my drift.They also hold a small diverse rotation of evening events. The owner, Toni, is both a wild & wonderful human being at the same time running quite the gem for this area. I try going down a few times a year.

We waited one hour and 45 minutes for our entrees. Mine came out and 25 minutes later the second order came and 20 minutes after that the final order came out. Wait staff attitude is best described as surly and unapologetic. They only accept cash or Venmo payments no cc or debit. Food okay but NOT worth the wait nor the attitude. Give this place a hard pass.

The breakfast burrito is delicious, and takes a long time to make. worth the wait. funky lighting and chairs

This place is definitely funky!! Lots of plants and knick knacks with some crazy art and furniture to really tie the whole vibe together.I wanted to go here for brunch which was a bit complicated by the fact that they didn't open at the stated time. Things happen, I made it work. I kinda really wish this place were a bit cleaner. The menus were as if they'd never seen a wipe down of any kind and the surfaces just seemed a bit grimy. Service was very friendly but not even close to fast.When it comes to wait times, it was about 30 min for a drink and another 30 for food. An hour for a burrito and a breakfast pizza. Woof! Worth the wait? Not even close. Overall the burrito I had was pretty good, kinda over cooked... I don't really want another one. My dining mate got the pizza and only finished half of it so, also just pretty good. 100% never coming here again, but I like the idea.

This was our first time and we can't wait to go back. The food was amazing the service the people everything was so good. We also ordered the sweet potato fries that another person recommended. If you have not been here definitely go you won't be disappointed!

My husband, friends, and I attended the "Rich & Sexy Circus" burlesque show this evening. The performers were fantastic! The production value was lacking, particularly in the sound department. I felt they needed more "side acts" to fill the spaces between acts to keep the audience piqued. The food was tasty, however the drinks were ridiculously watered down. I ordered two cocktails and a shot and left feeling perfectly sober. I felt they needed more cocktail waitresses as well. I want to go back during the day to try more of the food. For $35 a head I felt this evening's performance was not so much "rich" as it was "sexy." This place is adorable and the staff seems lovely. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt as I see the potential.

Best food I've had in a year.Amazing ambiance too. Super kind and nice, and friendly staff.The eclectic vibe was a hit with me and my 15yo daughter.

PSA: I did not eat here so I'm not reviewing the food. My mom and I came for breakfast, and I was really excited to try it (it's been on my list for a few months). We arrived 10 minutes before they opened, so we just camped out in the car until their opening time. We walked up a few minutes after and the door was locked. We peeked inside and couldn't see anyone. A minute or two later, someone came to the door and opened it for us. No greeting. Just told us to take a menu from the counter and find a seat. We sat at a table and looked around to take in the scenery. It was quite dark and dingy and didn't look very clean. We waited for 15 minutes; nobody else had entered the restaurant. We were in there by ourselves. Nobody came to take a drink order or say hello. As we're sitting there wondering why nobody has approached us, we hear talking and laughing coming from the kitchen. The staff (2 people) are carrying on together without a care about the customers they just let it in, never greeted, and made get their own menus and seat themselves. We picked up our stuff and left. They didn't seem to notice that either. As much as I would like to try the food here, I will never be back. I can't support a business that doesn't care about their customers.

Really good food but....- over an hour from order to eating (2 orders ahead of ours)- cockroach in dining area
