Celiac friendly?

Dedicated gluten free bakery. It’s so nice to be able to eat comfortably and not worry about cross-contamination. Bagels, croissants, cookies, cupcakes, etc. All 100% GF. Small place but love the options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly with several options. I found the croissant to be very dense; I wouldn’t order it again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Red velvet cupcakes were really dry

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Awesome bacon, egg and cheese biscuit sandwiches!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The biscuit was so good. Tasted just like I remember gluten biscuits tasting. Perfect density and texture. Even my non-celiac husband agreed.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It was all delicious! I had the pesto sandwich on a croissant and was one of my favorite sandwiches at a gluten free bakery. My kids ate every bite of their cupcakes. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I got the vegan chocolate chip cookies and the dairy free chocolate cake and they were absolutely amazing. Even my picky brother loved them. Any celiac wanting some baked goods should definitely go here. The only thing I got a stomach ache from was eating too much. The only down side was not having many different options for the baked goods, but I got what I wanted so I’m happy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food. We had a grilled cheese, Ham and cheese panini and the chocolate croissant... amazing!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten-free facility! Super tiny space (only 2 tables), and a great selection of baked goods. We have been in 3 times during our 6-day visit, and they have THE BEST cinnamon rolls and croissants that I’ve ever had!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing in every way!! Really surprised how hard it has been to find celiac safe food in DC for my daughter- we’ll be back daily this trip!

Amazing!! So excited to have found this place. Not only is everything GF but they also label foods for other allergens, like dairy free, soy free, etc. I tried the chocolate croissant and chocolate cake and both were amazing!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My first chocolate croissant in 10 years- SO good! Their panini sandwich was fine but not the best I've ever had. I would recommend getting their baked goods rather than having your meal there. Try the croissants and red velvet cupcakes!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything was delicious. A celiac dream!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved the hot ham and cheese sandwich. Son had bacon egg on bagel and it was good. Brownies amazing! Chocolate flourless cake was good. Carrot cupcake was eh, weird spice in it and it was dry. They have seating for 4 in case you want to eat there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent. Great selection. 100% gluten free. Desserts and savouries.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The bagel sandwiches (egg and bacon) were yummy but not exceptional. My daughter really liked her grilled cheese. Don’t get your hopes up about the croissants. In no way does it taste or flake like a traditional croissants, it’s more like a dense sweet roll. The cinnamon roll was better but also dense and dry. I always appreciate a 100% GF bakery and seek them out- but I wouldn’t bother going here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sweet, simple, awesome, highly recommend

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great everything. Excellent panini sandwiches, great baked goods. Dedicated gf bakery.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is gf which is awesome but on top of that it wasn't so "weird" that would put off a non celiac. Wish there was a place like this closer to home

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very good bakery, nice staff. We came in right at closing and the woman still helped us and was very sweet about it. The cupcakes were amazing, the biscuits were so good, they tasted like they had gluten! We’ll definitely go back next time we’re in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

For Mother’s Day my kids got me the cinnamon rolls!!!! YUM!!!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was good. But there’s very limited seating so this is a place better for “passing by” and taking it to go, if you’re in the area. Staff was not super friendly but at least I know it’s safe for me to eat here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We went to Rise during our visit to DC and we’re excited to bring our kids to a dedicated GF bakery. The food was pretty good. We tried the grilled cheese, turkey pesto, and BLT sandwiches. The cinnamon rolls were a bit dense, but still had good flavor. Unfortunately, I’m giving them 2 stars because the service wasn’t great and the prices are high even for a GF restaurant. The person who took our order seemed very unhappy to be there. Also, we took our order to go and by the time we realized they forgot one of our sandwiches (which cost $10.95 btw), instead of offering to make it so we could drive by to pick it up they defaulted to refunding the money. Showed no interest in helping us out even though we offered to drive by again. Not sure we’d visit again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cup cakes, tart and biscuits were delicious. Some items are dairy, nut and egg free. All are GF. Staff was not most courteous

Celiac friendly?

Yes

It was nice to eat a a place where my husband and daughter were safe but the place looks like no one cares. The service was not great. We made a special trip and it wasn’t worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the cinnamon roll, croissant, and flourless chocolate cake. All were quite good. The cinnamon roll was very yeasty and traditional tasting!

Entire place is gluten free, but pretty sad looking. Tried the cinnamon role, banana bread, and a scone - all were way too sweet. Very heavy. Disappointed after making a special trip.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was amazing!! 100% gluten free bakery with other allergy free options

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% gluten free bakery. Wish they had some more food options but glad I could eat something that is completely safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

A whole GF bakery, what a relief for a celiac! However, I found that their labelling of lunch items (sandwiches etc) was insufficient and staff gave really confused statements when we enquired which lunch items we dairy-free. Please label all your options and train your staff better! I liked the sweet options they had, but was quite disappointed in their bread and bagels. Considering the quality, it is also really expensive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their entire menu is gluten free and tastes great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Rise is my favorite of the DC area GF establishments. Just wish they had a suburban outpost, preferably VA. Their bagels come the closest to real bagels and are sooo delicious. Their cinnamon rolls and cupcakes are pretty good, too. I like their muffins the least, but there are so many other things to choose from. I will go out of my when I'm in DC to pick up a 4-pack of bagels to take home.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is gluten free and so delicious! Will definitely go back.

The club sandwich on fresh baked bread was a life changer. All of the bread, bagels and biscuits we tried were phenomenal. The flourless chocolate cake we had for dessert was perfect.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yes, it’s always exciting to find a dedicated GF facility! Yes, they’ve managed a close reproduction of a bagel which is (let’s be honest) miraculous by itself. I’ve become quite sensitive to rice and am struggling after eating here. They use a LOT of rice flour in their products.

Everything is GF! I had a chocolate croissant and a bagel and both were delicious (if a little expensive). Just as an FYI, there’s only two tables and you have to go in via stairs (not practical with a pushchair and a bad back). Even so, am sad I don’t live nearby so I can go again!!

From England and this is a fab place to eat. We grabbed breakfast and it was great. Staff are very friendly. Simon and Debs, England

We’re here on vacation and stopped by for lunch. Ham and cheese croissant was awesome! Love that the place dedicated gluten free! Stopping by on our way home to pick up red velvet cupcakes for my son.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Finally...got to visit this lil gem on our east coast trip. Worth the drive. If you want breakfast type items be there earlier. Even at nearly 6pm there were still some great choices! Chocolate chip cookies are big, soft and full of chips. Yummy! Everything is GF. Some vegan options too.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is delicious and it’s so nice to not have to worry about cc.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was hands down one of my best GF experiences dining out ever!!!!!!! If I lived here I would eat here every day!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have gluten-free croissants, isn’t that enough? ;-)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

100% gluten free. Amazing sandwich w/ real bread 😊 staff was not the friendliest but thankful for this gem of a bakery for those of with Celiac!

Great bakery for gluten-free! Early risers get the best choices before items sell out.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The entire bakery is gf. They’ve got two tables that each seat two. Their lunch menu has two sandwich options that were both delicious. A BLT and a turkey & cheddar. Both served on THE BEST gf rolls I’ve ever had. Moist and flavorful. We got several goodies to go.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great treats, love the croissants!

Dedicated celiac bakery! I had a breakfast biscuit, very tasty! My boyfriend who does not have celiac had the BLT, as they ran out of turkey for the turkey sandwich he had ordered. They were very apologetic about it and gave us a free menu item of our choice. We shared a cheesecake, which was our favorite dessert, as well as a carrot cupcake and a Nutella brownie.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

both savory & sweet coussiants are delicious. a nice treat.
