    I begrudgingly am writing this review because Arize is like a secret Caribbean beach and by posting this review, it may become difficult to get a seat when I want to come and eat. A group of us came to Arize and almost drove by the location. We walked in and were greeted and seated almost immediately. It's nothing fancy because the food and flavors speak for themselves. The food was great! The flavors, textures, and mixtures of Caribbean deliciousness all in my belly and tummy! Anywho, don't go ruining my new go to breakfast spot. That is all

    Breakfast bowl
    Tanisha L.

    I dined in using DoorDash so will lean on the side of the restaurant in rating a 4 instead of 3 to factor not eating directly from kitchen to table. I ordered a breakfast bowl of grits, scrambled cheese eggs and turkey sausage along with coco bread. The grits were not to my best liking; however, I am from the south so a grit snob and it takes adjusting when not the traditional taste. Eggs and coco bread were ok but turkey sausage was dry (again attributing to delivery versus eating onsite). Will need to try in person to be fair.

    The Jamaican Omelette and Curry Grits!

    The Jamaican Omelette and Curry Grits were amazing! Jaa, our waiter, was attentive, amazing and friendly! The music and atmosphere made this visit even better! Definitely recommend this place for some great grub! I will definitely be coming back again!

    Had Jiu Jitsu competition to attend and needed some breakfast fuel. Randomly drive into a place where stumbled among a GEM!!! Arize is an American breakfast spot with Caribbean influence. Arize Is a small cafe with absolutely delicious food choices with big flavor. I had The Jamaican with curry grits (which they allowed me to sample prior to ordering) and added a pancake. It's took 12 minutes for my food to come out and they entire time my waitress DESTINY was attentive to not just me but all patrons. There was a large group to my right and a mother and son to my left- everyone was praising the food, coffee and the service they received. They added an 18% gratuity, so be prepared. I will defiantly be coming back... this might be my new quaint spot. Thanks Arize

    We love Arize. Always good & kind service, plenty of parking and delicious meals. Nevera long wait, like most brunch spots in the area. Open seating for families or small parties, cool place with modest decor. I've never had something I didn't like and there are several vegetarian options.

    Had the opportunity to meet the owner while getting some business work done somewhere else last night, came to eat breakfast this morning and was impressed! The atmosphere, the attitude of the wait staff and the awesome food was worth it! I'll definitely be back to eat here again soon! Looking forward to seeing more Arize!

    Tbh I should have been wrote this , but today did it . I order to go today and it made me want to write . I order shrimp and grits Cajun style and for 25.75 this is totally not appreciated and yes it's good but not that good . Black owned have def lost my support in this type situations . And for them to sell me half a coco bread for a breakfast sandwhich is simply stealing , how you cut coco bread in half ‍ I'm like dang if your charge me for the high quality food give me all of the food not half . I'm so probably not going back and I liked this spot at one time now I'm perplexed after ordering to go because I was on the go back to work mode . Now I've been here a few times and it's good but I guess it took for me to see how they handle the Togo for me not to go back . 39.16 which includes a 12% gratuity for takeout smh and that's crcrazy but not as crazy as others I've seen but I expected more from this spot but hey you live and learn . Service is great and ambiance but them numbers would make Stevie Wonder wonder .

    Catfish with curry grits
    Lorrie W.

    What a lovely little place. It has cute things on the wall. It is clean! Our server was amazing and super attentive. The food was delicious!!! I love the curry grits and my catfish was seasoned very well and cooked to perfection.

    Pancakes
    Tasha J.

    It's a no for me. Came here for breakfast as recommended by a friend. They serve breakfast with a Jamaican twist. I asked to have my overcooked pancake replaced, one of the servers took it back (it was charred / burnt on the bottom which impacts the taste), only to bring out a more charred pancake....dang, these folk gave me a hard middle finger (without giving me the middle finger). The owner comes over to inquire about the pancake situation and he let me know that I get what I get...dang double middle finger. I have worked in a restaurant and have dined out a lot in my lifetime. This was a first for me. And hopefully the last time this kind of disregard happens. We do not have to agree but you can be more professional. I did not ask to be comped and I was not looking for a discount. Just edible food that I paid for. On a positive note, our server was awesome. I am praying for him to be freed from such a nasty boss. I will not be back.

    This wasn't my first time nor will it be my last and my Omelette is why!! It was really tasty!!!!! The potatoes and turkey sausage was delicious too. My waiter was great even though I forgot his name but he was very on it when it came to checking on us.

    Sweet potato pancake and maple syrup
    Thomas W.

    So let me start off by explaining why I gave 5 stars to this small business that is not by any means in fashion of Ritz Carlton style dining. The folks here checked off my boxes for cleanliness, friendliness, and "food tastes goodingness". I am indeed a germophobe and Covid didn't make it any better. At entry I saw the notices for covid safety and hand sanitizer etc. At entry I was greeted immediately and it was genuine. All too often we find ourselves in places just rolling the wheel if you will --- and a friend of mine had already said the food was good. Originally I was going to order to go but I felt comfortable all of a sudden like my uncle was talking to me and I sat on down. As a Charleston native, I know good grits and my goodness I saw the ladies next to me order the Curry Grits. It threw me a little bit but when I tell you I enjoyed every grit in the bowl! My eggs were cooked perfectly and I'm not sure why it's so hard to get a good over hard egg? Like can anybody answer that for me??? I also had the sweet potato pancakes. They were fluffy and tasty as well. There are several things I intend to swing back by to try and probably update this review or add another. Overall I can say I was pleased to be here and support another local small business. I will continue to spread the word and bring my folks when on that side of town.

    Menu

    First of all, the food is delicious. Love that they make their bread, pancakes, and waffles with coconut milk. It adds a sweetness that is delicious. The owner gave us a sampling of all the grits, which were amazing. Highly recommend.

    Erica and Aaron my servers / lol while I waited on my food to cool down . But my plate was so hot it burned his lil fingers . The food is bomb I had the southern grits and shrimps .. what a way to start my Saturday (arize )?

    Yes, yes and yes...can't wait to go back!!!

    I don't see how a breakfast café can't serve eggs Benedict? To me a breakfast only place should at least serve that

    They aren't the typical breakfast place. That may not be a big seller. They have delicious choices though.

    Is the food worth the price, we live in Columbus but are in Atlanta at least twice a month?

    Yes I felt the price was worth the food. The omelette, potatoes and toast was about $11 and the added grits was $3 extra

We had to make a decision quickly when we were pivoting, and when we came across the great reviews and photos of the food. we didn't think twice about checking to see if we could make it happen. When we arrived, the staff was already preparing our table, so we only had to wait a few minutes before being seated. The space is pretty tight, and you're going to be close to the tables near you, but we were able to sit comfortably. Our server came over quickly to take our drink orders, and afterward she came back to answer any questions. Most of the food was ready at the same time. We appreciated that it came out as it was ready and wasn't left sitting. And everyone enjoyed the food! The only "complaint" one of my friends had was that she thought there was a little too much sauce in her shrimp and grits dish. She felt that the sauce, while it tasted great, overpowered the dish and she would've liked to taste more of the grits flavor. All in all, I'd say we'll likely be back to try something else on the menu.

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service.

Typically I research and take a peek at the menu, photos, etc. but I didn't this time. Peters Street has ample street parking and a few lots for a fee. Just check the signs before you leave your car. The entry is unassuming because there's so many little places on this street but once you enter you're in another time! The medieval theme is super cool - a Barron greeted us at the door. Seating is casual - find a spot to sit and then order from the digital menu at the door. Orders are taken at the counter but entrees and drinks are brought to your table. The owner Josh was extremely accommodating! He gave us some tastings of coffee, tea and the French toast. 10/10! I personally ordered the Blueberry Matcha and a Bowl (done keto). Everyone's meal looked amazing and not a crumb was left. We left with some of the canned whiskey drinks - Strawberry Whiskey Sour and Kentucky Mule made with bourbon. Josh said best enjoyed mixed together! The photo opps, food, drinks and aesthetics are so good here. Only comment is that the tables are pub or cafe style and best for small groups or just takeover a section like we did. Enjoy!
