Rise Authentic Baking Co.

Sensational vegan baked goods and excellent coffee! I spent a little time reading in the cafe and had a lovely experience.

One word, yummy! I am a huge fan of Rise, often stopping in for a bagel and latte, so having Rise make the delicious cutting cake was a no-brainer! After we cut our cake, we had the remaining sliced and available for guests. Not a single slice was left, so it’s safe to say our guests also found it to be delicious!

They are discriminating against people with different beliefs

The baked goods are excellent; the plants are cool; the inside of the shop has a cute look and the area out back is neat to sit in.

Otherwise, the coffee always seems too small (why do their 12oz. lattes always look smaller than other places' lattes?) It's like a cup of disappointment every time it's handed to me.
Lattes are not that impressive. Lukewarm. I'm glad they finally stopped asking, "Would you like cow milk?" which sounded snobby and functionally makes no sense in comparison to asking about whole/skim.

The staff never seems overly friendly.

If you want a better experience, check out Stovetop Coffee Roasters on Fulton.
Or Lantern Coffee downtown has friendly staff.

We just used Rise to cater cupcakes for a baby shower with 40 people and had a great experience. We ordered the Mocha, Death by Chocolate, Lemon Blueberry, and Carrot Cake flavors. They were packaged conveniently, ready for pick up, the communication back and forth with a few questions we had about allergies was thorough, and the cupcakes were gorgeous and the guests enjoyed them. Thanks for a great experience!

Rise Bakery made my wedding cakes and they were AMAZING! I have celiacs disease so I have to be strictly gluten free and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how our cakes turned out! The decorating was exactly what I asked for and my guests could not tell the cakes were gluten free and vegan! So so good! Thank you Rise!!

Enjoyed working at Rise. These are some of the changes, I recommend. The spice cake flavor is exquisite. The cake doesn’t cut well, very wet in the center, due to the apples. Day olds becomes hard the next day. Eat them right away. The waffles, breakfast bagel and burritos is my personal favorite. You must try the BASH recipes, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Good Luck????

Vegetarian options: The breakfast burrito!

Been wanting to try this everytime I passed by, I ordered pumpkin drink for over $7 which I didn’t expect to be a tiny cup. It wasn’t even hot and Smaller than a Starbucks short. I should’ve asked if there is only one size…you’d think the staff would ask what size you’d like, but they were not friendly or helpful. Won’t be returning, tons of other options in the area.

I love having a place to get baked goods that are all gluten free and vegan! Everything I’ve had has been absolutely delicious. The place is a little small, and always busy, so it gets a little cramped in there, but we just take our food to go. Highly recommend!

Ordered cupcakes for our small wedding in February and have been meaning to leave a review. I cannot believe how amazing they were. All night our guests came up to us to say how good they were and I still think about these cupcakes about once a week. We’ve decided we will make it a tradition to order from here every anniversary.

In addition, the other couple times we have been here have been delightful!

We've always loved Rise, but the pumpkin cream cheese rolls were a huge disappointment. Pastey flavorless cream. The whole thing dry. Time for a correction on that one.

I ordered my wedding cake from Rise after the many good times I’ve had from visiting the bakery and was extremely disappointed. We scheduled a cake tasting to try the cake and mentioned that we wanted a dusty blue cake with simple decor. The baker who did our cake tasting showed us a picture of what she was thinking for simple decor and we said that we liked that and would go with what she showed us.

We also had it in writing that we wanted simple decor. What we got was a frosted dusty blue cake with zero decor. We had family pick it up since we are over an hour away from the bakery so we did not see it until they brought it to us the evening before our rehearsal. We did not have time to drive over an hour away to have them add anything to it as we had wedding festivities the next day. We were very saddened by the lack of any decoration on it and because it was not what was discussed previously.

I reached out to the bakery after our wedding to express our concerns and received a not so friendly response that what they did make was simple decoration. If this is simple decoration, I would have gone elsewhere. They also brought up many things I could have done like drive back to have them fix it. But as stated above, this was just not possible with our wedding schedule. This was our wedding cake and I wanted it to look like a wedding cake, not a plain, frosted, naked cake. I’m super sad to experience this as I want these small businesses to do well because there are not many that offer so many options for people who need to eat gluten free. Also, just accepting that a mistake was made also goes a long way. I felt like I was made to be in the wrong and did not feel that the customer service was kind. Hopefully, they won’t do this to anyone else’s special desserts.

Waited 30 minutes for pancakes, when they finally came out they were cold. Person making them had to come out two separate times to double check my order. When I told them one order was cold I got a donut hole for my time.

Not always a fan of gluten free but almost everything I’ve tried here has been good to incredible. Top 10 vegan baked goods experience.
