I first ate this bread at Sirene with soft butter; they simply serve the original with no additions and it's a bread experience. I have since bought the sesame scallion bread, which is difficult to make, as sesame oil is not the easiest to bake sourdough with. Yet, they persist. Thus, today's sandwich, crumbs still on my plate as I write this. I took their recommendation for a chicken (vegan) sando with sriracha mayo and baby lettuces and whoa, best sando I've had in a minute. I highly suggest this. Can't wait to try their gochujang bread. These are soulful loaves. read more

Rize Up Bakery was founded in 2020 in San Francisco as a backyard sourdough project during the pandemic. What started as a small home operation quickly rose through farmers markets, and powerful community support into a full commercial bakery. With its creative sourdough flavors and mission rooted in empowerment and community uplift, Rize Up has become a standout Black-owned bakery in the city. From time to time they pop up on TGTG and I was lucky enough to get one today. I had the choice of two loaves (one had to be an OG) or one loaf plus a baguette and pastry- easy decision: two loaves. Always the bacon, cheddar, jalapeño for me. The customer service is next level; the team offers thoughtful recommendations and even recipe ideas to make the most of your bread. Rize Up is truly an SF treasure, the kind of place you root for. You can find their bread at various farmers markets including Saturday at the Ferry Building. read more

I love the bread from this bakery as it has popped up at the farmers market. I have been slowly trying to try all their flavors. So far after a year, I haven't met a sourdough I didn't like yet. I believed I have tried all most of their flavors including the elusive Ube Sourdough. I love sourdough as you can guess and this is my favorite pace for it. It's locally made. I don't know how many good things I can say about it. I never had a bad bread loaf experience. You can't go wrong with any of their breads. I love the Kpop GOCHUJANG LOAF that has toasted sesame, roasted garlic and fresh scallions costs $16 and MASALA LOAF that is Stuffed with onion, curry leaves, spices, cilantro, serrano and roasted jalapeño peppers. Yummy in my tummy. From their website: Rize Up Bakery is a San Francisco based black-owned bakery focused on reinventing and rethinking the traditional sourdough that started in Spring 2020. Rize Up wants to share their love of delicious, thoughtfully baked breads made with naturally leavened, organic and sustainable high quality ingredients. read more

Rize Up Bakery - Jalapeño Bacon Cheddar bread with no bacon and no jalapeño. - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've tried almost all their loaves and my favorite is the K-pop Gochujang loaf! It's savory from the gochujang and garlic. It's not spicy but you can taste the flavor of the gochujang. It's great to eat as toast with some butter or with fried egg. Such a unique and flavorful loaf. The masala loaf is pretty good too. It has the flavor of garam masala and sautéed onions. It gives you the taste of an India curry but in bread form. read more

I was craving sourdough bread but didn't want plain sourdough and happened to stumble upon this bakery. I was pleased to find out that they sell bread on Sundays at the clement farmers market near where I reside. Went at 9 AM and was happy that there wasn't a line and was able to get a couple of items in a minute. I got the bacon cheddar jalapeño sourdough and though the price was a bit steep, it was delicious. The bacon cheddar and jalapeño flavor was mild but just enough where you can taste it and it didn't overwhelm the flavor of the sourdough itself. The bread is soft when picking it up so I went home and baked it with dill harvati cheese, butter, scrambled eggs and avocado and it was delectable! Really enjoyed that the bread held up well even with all the ingredients. I also got a garlic biscuit from here but in contrast, it was a letdown. The biscuit was dry and though the garlic flavor was not bad, the whole biscuit was one dimensional in terms of flavor. I would skip the biscuit next time and indulge in another loaf of bread. I definitely want to try their olive bread and their ube bread next. Very intriguing and unique flavors that they have. read more

Great bakery and love the bread. I was walking by while in the area and bought a loaf of garlic confit and thyme bread and a bacon snickerdoodle cookie. The gal was super friendly and helpful with my questions. I loved the bread. Great texture and flavor. I wish the flavors were a little stronger but still so good. I'd love to try more or their options. The cookie was delish but don't feel like the bacon came thru much. Seemed like a little sprinkling on top is all. All the baked goods and loaves of bread looked and sound great. I like their variety of flavors. This was a pop up at their space and didn't have areas to sit and eat. It sounds like a cafe space is in the works tho. I'll keep an eye out more when at farmers markets for their table! read more

Rize Up Bakery - Menu 1/2026 - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

I finally got my hands on a couple of their sourdough loaves - the Everything Seasoning and Gochujang loaves! I loved the Gochujang loaf with toasted sesame, roasted garlic and fresh scallions (there are whole garlic pieces in the bread). The Everything Seasoning is great too with seasoning throughout the bread rather than just on top. The sourdough has a nice tartness without being too sour. The bread is great for toasts, pairing with soup or on it's own with butter. I sliced these up and freeze them in slices so that I can grab and go when I'm using bread for meals or need a snack! read more

Must try the SF Local sourdough loaves from Rize Up Bakery. They are at Farmer's Market and selected supermarkets. Pop up sales at the Howard St Bakery on Saturdays. Texture, quality, and taste are perfect!! You will be thrilled that there are so many choices and unique flavors on the bread. Highly recommended. I wish the biscuit is more fluffy and buttery. The coconut cookie was ok. Owner is so creative with a lot of love and passion!! Thank you so much!! read more

Whenever we are in the city we try to visit Rize Up Bakery. We love the spirit and the message of this business and we love supporting small entrepreneurs. We also appreciate the message of making something so good out of bad situations. The last time we tried to stop in there had been a fire and I felt terrible. But this week we were able to stop in and get a loaf of sourdough. Typically I make a garlic salt butter to melt and dip the bread in but this time we didn't have the seasonings I typically use and I had to eat it just plain bread and butter. I really wanted more salt in the bread itself, and I'm not sure if it's always like that and I've just never noticed because I'm putting my unseasoning on it or if I just got a loaf where they hadn't used enough salt in the recipe. Either way I will definitely need back and continue supporting this business. read more

Rize Up Bakery holds a special place in my heart- I initially heard of Rize Up through a PBS documentary and I wanted to support. My mom and I stopped by early of last year at its warehouse and we've hooked ever since. The staff is so sweet and down to earth and very knowledgeable about each baked good- what it's made of, what flavors or beverages pair well with each item, and what someone would like based on preferences. We always get the Garlic Confit Thyme loaf because we are garlic lovers. The bread is so fresh and savory! We slather it in our favorite butter and I use it for avocado toast with himalayan salt and olive oil drizzled on top. Stand outs to us would include the ube cookie and bread. However, honestly you can't go wrong with any of their baked goods. They have a pop up what seems like every Saturday for the public to buy items and they also give away bread occasionally to those in need when they bake a lot or have a lot. Rize Up is such a gem in the SOMA community. read more

Found them at the Ferry Building farmer's market. What drew me in was a bacon snickerdoodle cookie. But then I also saw their olive, truffle, parmesan, black pepper sourdough which had everything I typically enjoy so I got that too. And I managed to get the last cheddar scallion biscuit as well. I was so excited to chow down on my cookie until I realized that they gave me the coconut snickerdoodle instead. And I hate coconut. I should've checked before leaving, but in the end it was still a pretty tasty cookie with the perfect chew that I'd want in a snickerdoodle. The cheddar biscuit was also delicious and moist. I'm just not impressed by the sourdough. For $16 I could only taste the olives since they were studded in there. I would go back for the cookies and biscuits though. Got the bacon snickerdoodle later at the Saturday farmer's market and didn't expect to like it less than the coconut one. It doesn't really have much of a bacon flavor. read more

Those hours listed.....Untrue! They are open on Saturday between 10 AM and 2 PM. At the Howard St location. The only time for retail for the residents of SOMA. I got their jalepeno cheddar loaf and it is so good, I am just eating chunks of it alone. And of course it could not be fresher. I live alone so one loaf a week is all I can eat. I am putting aside that Sat time slot for all my bread needs from now on. read more

I follow this bakery on Instagram and was delighted when on a trip to San Francisco I happened to be nearby. Got a load of hoagie bread that made amazing sandwiches and was good just on its own Tried a variety of cookies and their tea cake. Shared the cookies and everyone loved them Rebecca was working that morning and she was wonderful. Highly recommend read more

Such amazing quality and super creative flavors. The K Pop sourdough is so extremely delicious and multifaceted. The texture is ideal - nice and airy but a good chew and satisfying crust. Their products are all so fresh. I bought an Ube Coconut Cookie freshly baked on a Saturday and didn't get around to trying it until Tuesday night and it was still amazing. The family behind this bakery seems so nice and so extremely proud of what they do. Love supporting a small, local business! read more

Olive bread with actual olive? Who knew? Walked over to 1160 Howard. No actual store but actual baking house. In order to buy, go online and order and pick up. I did not realize that. I think the owner helped me. There were three things I can buy so I ended up with olive bread. The other was a baguette and a roll. There's a definite crunch and as the pic shows, an actual olive in my first bite. He said a counter may be added soon but not soon enough. read more

Rize Up Bakery was at West Oakland Farmers Market. offerings: baguettes, sourdoughs, pan loaf. eats: Everything seasoning (15) -the outer texture was chewy -the inner bread was soft, similar to many sourdough & my fav, Semifredd. -the everything seasoning was subtle, not pervasive -would reorder the OG, the original (12). 4.5 stars good basics crumbs: -available at various farmers markets, groceries, retail stores. -no samples were distributed, just bags of sourdough..... covid protocols no doubt. read more

While I'm a sucker for the sourdough at Rosalind Bakery, I also LOVE Rize Up's sourdough. I cannot say enough good things about the loaves I've bought here. So far, I've tried the Ube and Olive Oil/Truffle/Parmesan/Black Pepper. I fully intend on purchasing more flavors, but of the two I've tried, I have a hard time picking a favorite. Ube: exquisite balance of sweet and sour. While I normally wouldn't expect ube to work with sourdough, the ube sourdough loaf is *chef's kiss.* Olive Oil/Truffle/Parmesan/Black Pepper: if you're looking for a and unique savory sourdough loaf, this is it. The parmesan and black pepper really shine through, and there is a generous amount of olives sprinkled throughout the loaf itself. This, for me, goes perfectly with some mashed avocado, because the relative neutral flavor of the avocado complements all the savory goodness that is sprinkled throughout the dough. My one and only gripe is that I wish Rize Up were more accessible in wholesale grocery stores. (I would LOVE for Rize Up to be stocked one day at Whole Foods!) But overall, it's fairly easy to place orders through Rize Up's website and have loaves ready for pickup or delivery in a few days' time. read more

I shared half my bread w/ Nina, so I finished mine sooner than I normally would. Today when I was at Three Stone Hearth picking up my order I bought another loaf of the OG bread. I like it so much I didn't even look at what other flavors they had. Vicky rang me up and applied the rebate from the 5 jars I had just returned to the cost of the bread, which came to only $4.50 as a result. Quite a bargain! I just finished slicing it, put it in a large freezer bag and put it in the freezer, so I'm set for a while. read more

I just experienced the kindest gesture on a BART train I've ever seen or heard of. A young man named Kelani was leaning up against the side of the car. He had several white spots of something on his pants. I asked if he were a painter. He said "yes", but he's also a baker. He said he worked at RizeUp Bakery and then ever-so-kindly offered me the beautiful Ube sourdough he had in his hand. WHAT???? YOU HAVE GOT BE BE KIDDING! So generous and kind. You never see this especially on BART. He is an exceptional ambassador of a wonderful bakery that I had never heard of. Since Kelani only had 1 loaf and the young man standing next to him seem interested, he invited him to the bakery. I'm sure Kelani will take very good care of him. RizeUp Bakery should be proud of the job Kelani does on behalf of the business. He is a true steward of pay it forward and kindness. Please visit this bakery and say hi to Kelani!! read more

I've been following Rize Up bakery since they started in 2020. I have always wanted to get to the Bay to try their amazing breads, but never got a chance until this Saturday at the farmers market at the Embarcadero on San Francisco. The person assisting us was very helpful. I of course, got a sourdough loaf. I would have loved to try as many things as I could, but when I'm at this farmers market, I try to spread my money to as many vendors as I can. So I kept it simple with a cheese and jalapeño sourdough loaf, a biscuit, and a curry and potato hand pie. The biscuit was 100 layers of deliciousness. It was so good. Just eating it straight, no extra jelly or sauce or anything, just by itself. It was hands-down awesome. The potato and curry hand pie was so amazing. Outside flaky and inside was the perfect balance of flavor. The curry was not overwhelming, just a great flavor. We actually ended up going back to get two more hand pies. They were that good. The sourdough loaf was awesome. I sliced into it and it had the perfect outside crunchiness with the inside that was soft and spotted with cheese and jalapeños. The cheese and jalapeños were just enough to let the sourdough shine bright. I had some in the morning with some avocado and then again in the evening for grilled cheese. Fresh and grilled, both ways were awesome. My son liked it so much, he started sending me recipes that the pair well with this bread. I can't wait to go back and get more delicious items! read more

Serendipity. I'd just recently read the latest edition of the Edible magazine and this baker was the cover story (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=KhdG7nUs2lAH1_LSZs-7ow&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). Just a few days later, I walked towards the back of the south driveway at the Ferry farmer's market and saw his stand at the end (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LhpeIgT1GE4QpETD-BZnqg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). After a quick study of the menu and forwarding it to a friend, I knew that I would be getting things here. For myself, I got the jalapeno bacon sourdough (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ksSUyoeQF-VFYdPxQ9As3w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); not wanting to wait on this, I cut a slice and was impressed by the filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=doiJasUPSBC7nxt0_koXpw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) as well as the taste and texture of the bread. I shared several slices with my family and refrigerated the unfinished portion. I reheated slices throughout the week in the toaster oven and it is a bit drier when reheated so do enjoy it while fresh. The following week, I noticed a new cookie flavor, the bacon snicker doodle cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IkAVwFD44ADWR2AiI1yPCA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); being a huge snicker doodle fan from the Baker's Street Cookie Co. (how many of you remember them?), I enjoyed it but don't get your hopes up too high with expectations. The bacon portion is generous and it is tasty and not overdone but overall it didn't wow me. I will stop by this stand again today and perhaps try something new, like the "K-pop", Gochujang bread. I also had the pleasure to meet the the magazine pictured owner and he shared that he didn't expect to be on the cover and have such a well written article about his company and him. Stop by next time you're at the market on a Saturday. read more

Delicious bread and customer service. Highly recommended. I say the owner and a sour dough bread special in san francisco and found him.

If you haven't had this bread, you are missing out. It is so tasty and obviously incredibly fresh. If I lived closer I'd try all his breads. I'm still hoping to get a chance to try the ube loaf. Fingers crossed. We tried the garlic, lemon, thyme and the jalapeño, cheddar, bacon loaves. Neither flavor was overpowering but a nice change from plain sourdough. My boyfriend always says he doesn't like sourdough and he really liked this. According to him "it's not too sour." We had it fresh without anything added, toasted, toasted with butter and eggs, turned into garlic bread and broiled in the oven. If I had gotten a sweeter loaf I would've made it into bread pudding. It's good on its own or paired with any number of things. The process to purchase and pickup was seamless. Can't wait to try more flavors! read more
