Rise And Shine Cabaret Cafe - Parkland

The decor is funky and the offers are expansive and creative. A vegan oasis in Parkland.

I was so excited to give this place a chance. I went with a coworker for lunch. We waited nearly two hours for our lunch, and had to change the order from for-here to to-go because it was taking so long. We checked in many times on why it was taking so long. One of the workers said “she is boxing it up for you right now”— this was 25 minutes before we were given our food. There was only one other party in the restaurant and they had their food ten minutes into our meal. I’m sure they had other orders for Uber etc, but there is no reason it should take 110 minutes to prepare a lunch for two people. When we finally got our food, the food was cold and the portions were small for the expensive price paid. It didn’t taste nearly as good as it looked— presentation was excellent. I am glad that a place like this exists that offers so many options, but I will not be returning to this restaurant.

I love that they have plenty of vegan options. I would give 5 stars if they decide to go fully vegan. The foods great, sometimes they go a little heavy on the cheese but that could be my personal bias. The atmosphere is awesome, very cute place for a date.

There is a bear skin hanging in the back. I asked the owner why, her response, Hi there gale. Sorry I get a lot of messages and this one got lost in the shuffle. The bear is real and was passed down in my family from a deceased member. I told her I understood family heirlooms and left it at that. I couldn 't stop thinking about it. I reached out again because I did enjoy the atmosphere and food. I wanted to tell you that the bear hanging in your restaurant has caused me to no longer go to your place. I know other vegans who feel the same. Why wouldn 't you hang it up at home? I miss your place but I won 't go until that is removed. Most vegans already struggle with going to places that offer both veg and non veg meat places. Either way I 'd love to go back one of these days I haven 't received a response and have decided to let everyone know about it and hopefully she will take it down. At this point even if she takes it down I won 't be back.

Unique decor. Friendly, helpful staff. Almost entire menu can be made vegan! Good variety of drinks, both coffee and liquor. The jackfruit tacos were even better than they looked in pictures. Can't wait to come back and try the breakfast/brunch items!
