Our Story — A Trinidadian-Canadian Family Kitchen in Morriston
Meet the Marshall Family
We’re Taj and Katrina Marshall, and Rise & Shine is our family’s kitchen. With strong Trinidadian roots, the food we cook here brings that island influence to the family table.
We wanted to build a place with heart — somewhere breakfast, brunch, and dinner feel relaxed, fun, and full of island flavour. We’re warm, we’re present, and it’s a table you’re always welcome to linger at.

From Trinidad to Morriston
We brought the flavours we grew up with in Trinidad and set them beside the breakfast and brunch plates people here already love. That combination is the whole idea behind Rise & Shine.
We say the spin up front: we’re not a strictly traditional Trinidadian restaurant. Our doubles, for instance, are the Trini street-food classic made bigger and made our way. What you’ll find is Caribbean-inspired flavour inside a familiar brunch — comforting, colourful, and a little unexpected.
Morriston is the right home for it. We’re on Queen St near the Hwy 6 and 401 corridor, minutes from Guelph and an easy drive from Puslinch, Aberfoyle, and Cambridge — a small-town stop with a bright island feeling.
What Caribbean Brunch Means to Us
To us, Caribbean brunch means classic comfort with more colour, spice, and soul — familiar enough that everyone at the table finds something, and never boring.
Classic Brunch Favourites
Eggs, benedicts, pancakes, and waffles — morning staples served with care and generous portions.
Island-Inspired Flavour
Jerk, curry, and Trinidadian doubles bring warm Caribbean spice to the brunch table.
American Brunch Spin
Brunch plates you already know, reworked our own relaxed, family-style way.
