    Mint brownie
    Nancy N.

    This is hands down the best bakery in the valley! Every single item I've tried has been absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the kindest, most welcoming staff, which makes the whole experience even better. There's such a wide variety of delicious treats to choose from that it's hard to pick a favorite. Personally, I love the sugar cookies--they have the perfect level of sweetness. My daughter can't get enough of the mint brownie, and my husband always asks me to bring home one of their coffee cake loaves. Beyond those favorites, they offer an incredible selection of cupcakes, croissants, cookies, cinnamon buns, and so much more. Anytime we have visitors, this is one of the first places I take them. I truly can't recommend this bakery enough!

    Beautiful baked goods! My favorite was the raspberry apple cinnamonroll. The frosting was delicious! I wish I had more of it! The cheesecake was really rich and the cookie was okay. Super cute for valentines but I wouldn't say it was the best sugar cookie I have ever had. I would definitely try a different cookie if I go another time. I wish this place also made drinks. Like pretty coffee drinks or even sweet teas. They just have bottled drinks and there is a coffee maker. I think it would help elevate this business. The girl that helped us was super sweet.

    Excellent bakery that has a wide selection of options from fresh bread, cupcakes, cheesecakes to wheels. Their wheels are probably the most unique thing they have as I don't often see these type of pastries at bakeries. The cinnamon rolls are drenched with frosting which I loved. I thought the chocolate chip cookie was very mediocre and didn't enjoy it. I got the whole wheat and honey bread which was great. I also had the pumpkin spice wheel which was good but a little too filling for me! Next time I go I hope to try the apple chai roll as it looked delicious. The whole business is well run with a lot of employees and the inside is clean. It's a nice place to grab a snack or sweet and relax for half hour.

    Creme brulee croissant wheel
    Elsie M.

    Dropped by this bakery recently to pick up a few items as a surprise, to take over to a friend's house. We weren't exactly sure what they liked so we decided to go with a whole variety of delicious goods. On this visit we decided to get butter croissants, crookies, snickerdoodles, classic cinnamon rolls, cream brulee croissant wheels, and two California club sandwiches on a sub roll. Out of all the items, our top three favorites would have to be the butter croissant, cream brulee croissant wheel and the California club. The butter croissants were crispy on the outside with a soft center, and not too flakey, which we liked. However, they weren't as buttery as we were hoping they would be. The cream brulee croissant wheel was surprisingly not too sweet which we appreciated and we also really loved how unique it was. The California club was bigger than we thought it'd be and that sub roll bread gave a nice subtle sweet contrast to the savoriness of the meats. Overall, service was friendly, patient and kind. The décor was inviting, bright and simple, with a good amount of seating options.

    I only tried the Dubai chocolate & the pumpkin wheel. Both were good, nothing exceptional IMO. Inside was clean with a few seatings available with a cute mural.

    Location has plenty of parking and easy to find. Upon entry of this establishment, I was assaulted with the heavenly smells of fresh bread, croissants, cookies and other baked delights! I could stay here all day hopped up on coffee drinks and baked goods! I ordered a variety of items - cookies, cheesecake, cupcakes, Jalapeño cheese bread, kouign Amann, and some cream filled caramel wheel. Ohhhh my gosh, so good! Think croissant wheel filled and crisp carmelized sugary goodness. I am taking these on a road trip to share, even if I threatened only leaving crumbs. lol The lady that assisted me was super sweet, patient and helpful. Ohhhh I ordered a California sandwich and ate half. Soooo delicious and the bread!! The glorious bread!! Soft, fluffy roll filled with avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, bacon, turkey and cheese. That was a perfect savory sandwich before I attacked the dessert. Definitely hit this place!! I rarely ever give out 5 stars, but this hit the mark!

    This is a great place to go when i'm craving an occasional treat. You can tell everything is made fresh and high quality. My fave is the raspberry croissant and the cookies are really good too. Definitely not an everyday stop but I love it as a special treat.

    Stopped by yesterday afternoon at 6:30pm since they closed at 7pm. We walked in and the workers were already putting most of the pastries away..... We quickly felt and saw that they weren't too happy that we walked in 30 minutes before closing... and the lady that was putting the front pastries way had a RBF going on. Our orders were going to be simple and yet another customer still walked in after us..... My friend ordered a peach cinnamon roll and a rasberry filled pastry. I ordered separately and got two butter croissants, another rasberry pastry, and a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. My total was $23 with tip and the whole interaction was quick and only took 5 minutes... We were looking to eat inside but were then too scared to get scolded so we sat outside as we still had 25 mins left until they closed. The pastries were allll really good. Nothing was dry and they all tasted fresh. Prices were reasonable. The inside was clean and its nicely decorated.

    My friend wanted a cinnamon roll so we stopped by this place 30 minutes before closing. The employees made it sooo obvious they were unhappy we walked in 30 mins before their closing time at 7pm. We bought the cinnamon roll and other pastries and ate them outside so we wouldn't disturb them. Another customer walked in after us so we didn't feel as bad. Most pastries were already put away. Why close at 7 if the workers are already closing down at 6:30? Hmmmm........................

    Orange cinnamon roll
    Katie H.

    I set out this morning to a bakery that was supposed to be known for cinnamon rolls. I arrived to find they didn't open till 10. That was odd to me as a bakery. So I googled another one and found @rise.up.bakery and wow!!!! The service was amazing! I think I was talking to the owner and I am mad I didn't get her name. She walked me through all the stuff and I ended up getting way more than I needed. The crème brûlée croissant was so good! It had the hard candy top and nice cream center, the croissant was extremely fresh. I then got the crookie which is the croissant with the choc chip cookie on top. Ended with 2 regular cinnamon rolls and she tossed in an orange cinnamon roll since it was a little smaller and she didn't want to sell it. Not only was the location awesome but she also donates all the leftovers each day so nothing goes to waste or is reused. I highly recommend this spot and I give it a 5/5.

    We stopped by after school, hoping to try the croissant wheel we've been seeing foodies rave about on Instagram. Thankfully, they still had the pumpkin flavor left. The pumpkin wheel was the perfect level of sweetness for me. I knew if I wanted the Boston cream flavor, I should have come first thing in the morning. We also tried the almond croissant and the crookie croissant! The kids especially loved the chocolate chip cookie on top and the doughy center. Because of a nut allergy, new gloves were used to serve our treats, which I really appreciated! The bakery has plenty of seating, and the décor is super cute.

    Nay L.

    Wow, I saw this place on instagram and have been waiting to go and it was so worth the wait!! The service was very quick, everything is pulled from a case, but there was definitely a line when we arrived (on a Saturday late afternoon.) The establishment is open and naturally lit which makes it very welcoming to stay and enjoy your treat (or sandwich as they offer those,too.) We thoroughly enjoyed a peach cinnamon roll, a chocolate croissant, chocolate chip cookie, aaaaaand a double chocolate cupcake. We left with left overs of everything that I am already looking forward to enjoying again later.

    We're so lucky that it's right around the corner from us on Highly & Guadalupe. The kouign amann croissants are to die for!
    Alaina M.

    Our favorite neighbor bakery! We're so happy and lucky it's right around the corner from us, on Highly and Guadalupe. Highly recommend trying one of everything but our favorite is the Kouign Amann croissants. Food is always fresh, and they offer lunchtime salads and sandwiches as well! Equally as good! Highly recommend if you haven't been before.
