The space itself was very clean with minimal decor. I ordered a Gingerbread Iced Latte and a Cheese Danish to have there. I also ordered a sugar cookie pop-tart . The latte came in an adorable cup. The latte itself was fine. Felt like it could use a little more flavor. The cheese danish was just okay. I have had better cheese danishes in the past. I think it would have been better warmed up. I ate the pop-tart when I got home. It was delicious. It had the perfect amount of filling and the crest was a perfect consistency. That definitely made the trip worth it.

Cakes, cookies, donuts, bread, tarts and so much more. It was hard to choose. I sampled pistachio cookies. Yum. The clerk was friendly and patient as I carefully inspected each case. So, you take a tray and clean tongs and pick what you want. I selected a pumpkin filled empanada and a Nutella puff pastry. OMG, the prices are so reasonable. The pastries were huge and delicious. My pumpkin empanada was not too sweet and was like a Thanksgiving hug. The Nutella puff pastry was light and tasty. If I lived closer, I'd stop by every day. The Artisan Bakery is a perfect stop for a special treat. They make cakes to order, and have a few on hand. The cakes are beautiful. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. There is no seating available to dine in - so plan to go. Well worth a visit.

There were a variety of flavors available to choose from. The cookies are large in size, so definitely matches the price. There was one lady working there and she had her back turned when we walked in, so we had to get her attention. She didn't offer much help though, so we just ended up with the "norm", which is a basic chocolate chip cookie. It was mediocre in flavor. Not bad, but nothing worth making the drive for. This was my first time here and will probably be my last.

I must admit that despite my reporting on the apparent donut wars in Avon Indiana, with no less…read morethan five different donut shops in the growing town, I'd completely forgotten about the presence of Rise n' Roll Bakery until I happened to be on my way out to Putnam County and happened to look over and see the shop in a relatively small strip center. Rise n' Roll was founded in Middlebury, Indiana by an Amish family as an offshoot of the family's selling of donuts from the porch of their Shipshewana home. Established a Rise n' Roll in 2004, it stayed relatively small for years. The original bakery didn't use electricity, refrigeration, or modern tech. Everything was by hand. In 2009, the Amish owner sold the company to a non-Amish family. It was moved to a larger facility - the original owner stayed employed by the company and the small bakery began to expand including franchising. In recent years, the Central Indiana presence has grown. Rise n' Roll offers donuts, pastries, Amish goods, deli, and other items. While I was sad to see Rise n' Roll leave their Broad Ripple spot, truthfully I tend to resonate more with its simpler locations (there's now a smaller shop in Nora). This spot in Avon reminds me of Nora. I believe the Indiana-based chain has 16 locations statewide. I'm a definite fan of the chain and have never had a bad experience at any location in terms of product or people. I primarily stick to donuts when coming here, however, I'll occasionally deviate. While I'd say that Rise n' Roll is decked out a bit nicer than Carl's, I felt a similar vibe here. In a town that has multiple options, it's really important to distinguish yourself and Rise n' Roll does that nicely. The cinnamon caramel donut is perhaps its most widely known and beloved option, however, I'm a fan of chocolate frosted (yeast or cake). Donut offerings can vary between locations. Employees here are friendly. The strip center has accessible parking with appropriate curb cuts. The single glass door was pretty manageable. I get the sense they'd easily help if help was needed, though it's obvious that most folks with disabilities prefer independence. Overall, I'd easily claim Rise n' Roll as one of my Avon favorites. I won't dare rank the five, though a quick read of my reviews would likely make it obvious. For a more natural option in a pleasing, welcoming setting it doesn't get much better than Rise n' Roll.

There are more things in the back and even an extensive boba drink menu. There are restrooms here. The service was good. The donuts are delicious. There are some really nice unique flavors. The coffee menu is extensive. I didn't see coffee on the menu online. I got the Bismark crunch. This was good but the crunch pieces on top just sank to the bottom because of how heavy it was. I thought it was going to be smaller pieces in the coffee. I got the lemon Blueberry and cinnamon caramel with Bavarian filling. Will def be back to try more flavors
