Rise Authentic Baking Co.

Rise is awesome. I'm constantly amazed at how creative and tasty their food can be while catering to so many food restrictions. Highly recommend!

They are a dedicated gluten free facility, as well as vegan, dye free, and more.

The crew working is also knowledgeable and kind.

Rise was our first stop in Grand Rapids, had a fantastic lunch of vegan nachos, and an elevated vegan grilled cheese w a soft vegan cheese and caramelized onion. Quickly disappeared! And then we filled a pastry box with apple fritters (my first in 20 years of celiac life!) a donut, a stroopwafel, millionaire bar, yum tart…all were fantastic. Will stop again anytime we’re near GR!

Most items cross-contaminated with oats. 10% of people with celiac react to oats as well, so this was not a great option for me with celiac.

My husband went to get me bagels. Bought the salt and herb bagels. The herb bagels were very tasty, the salt bagels were really salty. It was nice to finally get a flavorful bagel but they weigh a ton - could only eat half at a time. Also had there fruit granola. Tasty but expensive.

Sadly... I have to update my review. I'm celiac and come here once a year because it's very allergy friendly and each year the donuts are amazing. I stopped by today, bought baked goods, and got an item heated up. While I was waiting for the item, I watched an employee in the back lick his ungloved fingers several times while heating up food for customers. I wasn't sure what to do, so I walked out with the items I paid for. I'm disappointed because the food is delicious, but costly. I have $45 worth of baked goods and I'm not sure they're prepared safely? I likely won't be returning out of concern for safe food handling. It's a bummer.

The selections on a Thursday late morning were not too impressive. The staff were too busy in a conversation that they continued while I ordered, that they charged me for one item and didn't give it to me. They put a different item in my box, which looked very unappetizing. I did not enjoy the granola bar I got, nor the pop tart thing they threw in by mistake. Very expensive, as usual for GF, but not worth the cost, in my opinion. The website says there is some parking in the back. That is untrue. There are only spaces for other establishments and it's a very small area. I went out of my way to eat here passing through GR. I was sorely disappointed.

Well, the reviews got me here, and frankly we're disappointed in the results. The cinnamon roll was presented tasty but very bland on the inside with way too much sweet topping. The apple strudel was the same looked great with no Flavor in the breading- we tossed both out after a few bites. The oatmeal creme pie was okay, nothing spectacular. All 3 items rather pricey- especially given our findings.

Excellent Bakery! My husband has celiac, and my youngest son is anaphylactic to eggs and soy…best bakery and sweets we have had! You can’t even tell the difference from foods that have gluten, egg or soy! We find this our biggest struggle going out to eat - finding and ENJOYING the taste of gluten free (and egg/soy free) baked goods. This place is a must!

My family tried a little bit of all the baked goods. They didn’t really have a lunch menu. Everything was good, but for the money we spent, the experience wasn’t on par. It was SO hot in there, the water was warm, and the people weren’t very friendly. Grand Rapids has so many gf options, I’d rather spend my money at a place that appreciates it. 🤷🏽‍♀

Good baked goods. Decent food — though their menu was extremely limited the day we were there; most of the items on their menu were crossed out (I think I heard them mention supply issues to the people in front of us). But we had enough for a light meal that was dedicated gluten-free. And the baked items were a good dessert!

Rise is TRULY AMAZING! It was our first visit. They had a lot to choose from: fritters, cookies, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, etc. We got a GF cinnamon roll, a cream cheese chai donut and a blackberry pop tart. ALL AMAZING & delicious. They have a small eating area inside and (3) adorable enclosed eating areas behind the restaurant. I wanted to cry it was so good. We love supporting wonderful dedicated businesses like this. Kudos to them for doing it well! When we’re in town we’d go back again and again.

First sandwich I have been able to eat in a while with the comfort of knowing that it was truly gluten free and it was SO GOOD! Staff was incredibly friendly and I brought home cake slices for my birthday. Since I’m unable to eat gluten and eggs, they truly helped make my birthday special just when I thought I wouldn’t be able to have cake!

Looks good but prices are high. They did not have a list of food ingredients handy. I am allergic to xantham gum and a few other spice. It would be much easier to shop if there was a list of ingredients for food items rather than asking each one individually and creating a huge line while I am asking questions. Parking is very limited.
