If your family loves a good breakfast outing (and let’s be honest—who doesn’t?), there’s a new spot in Summerville worth checking out: Rise and Shine Breakfast Place. Already well-loved in North Charleston, this cozy diner-style restaurant opened its second location on Central Avenue in mid-October, and it’s already drawing a crowd.

We stopped in this week, and it’s safe to say: this place is a winner. The menu is packed with breakfast favorites—fluffy pancakes, golden waffles, crepes, omelets, benedicts, and hearty classic combos—but what makes it stand out is the international twist. You’ll find authentic Hispanic breakfast dishes like chilaquiles and breakfast enchiladas right alongside the more traditional American fare, making it a place that truly has something for everyone.

I opted for the chilaquiles with birria while my husband and sons went with French toast and pancakes—both hits. Our older son ordered the Nutella Jr. Pancake kid’s meal, which came with five pancakes, eggs, and sausage—all for just $5.99. Honestly, it was big enough to split between two little ones, and he was thrilled to dip all his items in his cup of Nutella.

Even though Rise and Shine had only just opened, the dining room was already filling up with families trying it out. The vibe was warm and welcoming, the food came out fast, and it had that relaxed, weekend-morning feel you hope for in a breakfast place. With so many classic and creative options, plus a full menu served all day, it’s a much-needed addition to Summerville’s breakfast scene—especially for those who are in the Knightsville area!
