Rise Authentic Baking Co.

Mid afternoon the cashier put out the oddest sign stating - “Barista on Break”

This wouldn’t be a big deal; however, they put it out when there was a line with 5 customers. Thankfully I had gotten in before she went on break but I would have been disappointed to have come out to this cute spot and just to be told she was on break. The girl working the register did turn down multiple coffee orders after the sign went up.

Super odd. There were other staff on - hopefully in the future they can train the rest of the staff on the espresso machine or finish taking orders before cutting for a break

So good!

10/10 recommend! As someone managing an autoimmune condition, finding a place that offers dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and dye-free options feels like a dream come true. My matcha was the perfect green which is always a good sign. It tasted just as amazing as it looked. On top of that, the staff provided exceptional customer service, making the whole experience even better.

I’m a celiac and I’m grateful that rise has great tasting gluten free food. It’s not easy good gluten free baked goods.

Hands down my favorite gluten free bakery. I’ve been here many many times and everything is so delicious.

Ideal place for a lunch break.

Came here last week and was very disappointed. Firstly staff was unfriendly and acted annoyed when I asked about nuts in an item due to a severe allergy. I used to enjoy the gluten free cake slices here, however my slice was completely frozen. I would not have gotten it if it was frozen as I was planning on eating it that day. When it did finally thaw out it lacked flavor and texture was off. Will not be back especially for the price they charge to get an item that isn’t even good.

This place is a MUST visit if you are in Grand Rapids. Everything is gluten-free, vegan, soy free, and dye free! They have rotating flavors of most of the items. Don't skip on the oatmeal cream pie! Or the buckeyes. You pretty much cannot go wrong whatever you order. And of course coffee! The only thing that is not vegan is that they offer cow's milk with coffee. Overall, I highly recommend this place! The staff is always very friendly and helpful.

As a person who is gluten-free, I am EXTREMELY pleased that I never have to sacrifice flavor for the pastries and yummy cupcakes at RISE. Finding quality, EDIBLE/TASTY baked goods that are gluten-free can be very challenging but not here. This place is amazing! The staff is also very friendly and it’s also very easy to do a custom cake order. Expectations exceeded—BRAVO!!! :)

Our daughter was just diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease and we're doing an extremely challenging elimination diet... this place was a dream come true! What we've tried so far is delicious, and staff were so helpful and kind! The atmosphere is so intentionally considerate and welcoming to all - love the decor and vibe too! Can't wait to return soon!!

I’m not vegan or gluten free, but this place has the absolute best donuts. Something about the glaze is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. I would genuinely eat 2-3 daily if that was a smart choice for my health and wallet. I’m so obsessed. If you haven’t tried them yet, what are you doing with your life.

On a side note, the atmosphere is amazing, baristas are super friendly, and the coffee is delicious. Make sure you grab a coffee and donut punch card and start earning some freebies :)
