Review of UpRising Bakery and Cafe

I have very sensitive celiac disease, and I ate a lovely dinner here! We were party of four, I’m the only gluten-free person, but we all ordered gluten-free and had a very good dinner. Even my omnivore husband enjoyed his “chicken” pot pie. They have two kitchens, one dedicated gluten-free. Their baked goods are in two separate cases, one is dedicated gluten-free, the other, for regular. It’s a low-key place, family-friendly, with a game room in back and toys for the kids to play with. In our time there, we saw several people come in for carry-out items or with their little kids for a fun dessert. Our server was knowledgeable and reassuring. We will be back! It should be noted that this is a Queer-friendly space and has been attacked by some community members for that. They have even have their front window smashed. But they are dedicated to serving the gluten-free and vegan communities, they fund raise and do good works. Just fyi.
