I popped into Rise Up Marketplace today with my partner on a lovely sunny fall walk through Strathcona.
We had passed a number of people walking by eating Jamaican patties and decided to grab a small bite to tide us over for our walk downtown.
Once inside, we were greeted by the most warm and cordial gentleman who guided us through the menu.
We decided to stay and have grilled sandwiches for lunch.
My partner had the triple grilled cheese and I immediately gravitated to the special - a melted cheese and jerk chicken sandwich.
Absolutely gorgeous sandwiches!
They came promptly with a generous side of crisps.
My jerk sandwich was rich in allspice and cinnamon and had a dash of heat from the scotch bonnet pepper in the mix.
My partner's sandwich was lovely and comforting.
We were rewarded with a sample of homemade cookies for our walk - gratis!
Such warmth and generosity cannot be overstated - we will be back many times.
Thank you for such a wondrous lunch!

Quick stop at a place we'd been meaning to try. Rise Up on Vernon Dr in Strathcona. We were walking home from #EastSideFlea and timing was perfect! Such a little hidden gem!
We picked out a Jamaican patty each and sat outside to enjoy them. Piping hot and tasty.flaky light and gone too quickly.so, back for another
Can't say enough about the warm welcome and cozy feel that accompanied the great food. We can't wait to go back and try the sandwiches.

Roger makes excellent jerk chicken! The sandwich and patty were perfect. Great jerk spice rubs and marinades to take home as well.

I’m so happy about finding this place. Amazing chicken and beef patties. I also picked up some Ting and plantain chips. I grew up grabbing beef patties at Bathurst Station and roti from Caribbean Roti Palace. This place reminds me of home (Toronto). Looking forward to trying other items and the restaurant Calabash.

Super friendly staff and lots of delicious food options.
Jamaican patties are yummy.but their homemade breads and sandwiches are out of this world tasty.
We highly recommend popping into Rise Up Market for your immediate hunger needs.plus items to take home and even some fun self-care or gift options.

Please be cautious when ordering food here. I recently found a chunk of hard, sharp plastic in one of the Jamaican patties. I did reach out and send a message to inform them but unfortunately did not hear back.

Came to pick up a Too Good to Go package to find the place locked and dark, and nobody answering
the phone, not even voicemail.

Rise Up Marketplace catered a large order of Jerk Chicken Sandwiches, Sloppy George Vegan Sandwiches, and Cheese Sandwiches for our staff office lunch this week. 10/10 recommend. Friendly staff, delicious food, on time, and hot! They even went the extra mile to provide thermal bags to keep the food warm.

I tried the soup, jerk chicken sandwich and Jamaican patties, they were all excellent! Also very friendly service. Will definitely be back!

So friendly and cool staff and stuff. The smell of fresh bread and fresh croissants is amazing! Pair them with locally made strawberry preserve or jam, yum, YUM!

Visiting from Toronto, heard from word of mouth from foodie friends in the Vancouver area, that this unique place was the spot to check out. Staff is extremely friendly, and the food is excellent. I would highly recommend the Jerk Chicken sandwich, and the Patties are a must have. This shop has a cool concept that is worth checking as they sell stuff from small vendors, and a lot of Natural and homemade products.

I had a really good sandwich there. The owner is super friendly and approachable. It has classic pantry staples along with with more specialty items. Will be back to try the Jamaican patties for sure.

We love this place! We had the soup and the jerk chicken sandwich and both were amazing. Roger is such a nice person. So glad to have this new addition to the neighbourhood!
