Rise Authentic Baking Co.

It's nothing special. Aside from being allergen from literally everything. The baked goods most of the time have a decent flavor. However the texture tends to be way off. It doesn't quite meet the mark for good baked goods. If you're celiac, with a nut, egg, and dairy allergy, this the place for you. You know it's safe to eat.

The pastries are so yummy you would never know they are gluten free. My personal favorites are the donuts, and the oatmeal cream pie.😭 The oatmeal cream pie at Rise blows little Debbie out of the water. These are sweet treats you will not regret eating.

This is my favorite bakery in Grand Rapids. My most recent visit was excellent having a mixed berry tart & Americano to drink! The tart was baked to perfection and unlike anything else you can get in the area including being vegan & gluten free!

We went here after starting our day at Fika. We thought this was going to be a good place to relax and do a word puzzle.

It was quiet but there is hardly any seating here at all. 3 tables total. It was cold and the ceiling fans were on as well. Space is so small no matter where you sit you're near the door.

We ordered matcha lattes which were good and very pretty. We also got a brown sugar toaster pastry and a chocolate chip maple glazed donut. The donut was yummy and so was the pop tart style pastry but it was cold and hard to bite into at first. We asked if she could heat it up and she was accommodating. It was much better warm.

We did hang out and puzzle then leave. IMHO if you wanna hang out and chill their sister space Fika was better suited for that.

This bakery is vegan, gluten free, soy free and dye free. The blueberry lemon cheesecake and buckeyes were both great! I took the cheesecake to a party and everyone loved it! I saw one guest get four pieces, one at a time. I don't blame them. It was amazing.

This place had SO many dessert options. Most gluten free bakeries offer one rotating option of each type of baked goods. I was surprised there was several flavors of donuts, bars, cookies, and even more to choose from. The kids were so excited to pick out their favorite treats and I was happy to have so many choices. The coffee was great and they have seasonal lattes as well. Cute seating nook in the front with more options on their back patio. The perfect spot on a beautiful fall day which is important to soak up in Michigan. We came from out of town and wanted a quick bite before hitting the road. This place did the trick.

Pastries are yummy but SO EXPENSIVE! Also, not super friendly people there. Not something average people can afford. I dislike when vegan food is made just for the wealthy. Sad...

The quality is just not there. I visited this bakery over the weekend and purchased a bagel, apple tart, and a batch brew. The bagel and apple tart definitely were several days old as they both were very difficult to chew and lacked flavor. The coffee unfortunately was lukewarm. This was a disappointing experience.

Updated for 2025. OMG. They perfected our custom order lemon rosemary Coraline cake with themed earl grey sugar cookies. Ask them to get creative and they will! 👏

Don’t miss this place. I ordered 7 totally different things to go. Every single item was A+. That is not the norm with vegan and gf. A new GR fave.

Purchased a pre-packaged Rise GF Chocolate Chip cookie at a local market. Unfortunately, the cookie was loaded with rock salt -- literally -- and it was inedibly salty. What I thought was a sprinkling of coconut inside the package was in fact chunks of salt. Not a good or tasty idea to coat a cookie with salt. $3.75 down the drain. Never thought I'd find a bad cookie, but turns out there is such a thing. Read the label and avoid the rock salt cookies.
